# Disabling Microsoft SQL Server resource governor for your RDS for SQL Server instance
<a name="ResourceGovernor.Disabling"></a>

When you disable resource governor on RDS for SQL Server, the service stops managing workload resources. Before you disable resource governor, review how this affects your database connections and configurations.

Disabling resource governor has the following results:
+ The classifier function isn't executed when a new connection is opened.
+ New connections are automatically classified into the default workload group.
+ All existing workload group and resource pool settings are reset to their default values.
+ No events are fired when limits are reached.
+ Resource governor configuration changes can be made, but the changes don't take effect until resource governor is enabled.

To disable resource governor, remove the `RESOURCE_GOVERNOR` option from its option group.
