Hello
friends, suppose you are working on your computer and then you realize that
your computer is too slow for you. For every computer user the slow computer is
one of the most frustrating things in his/her work. You are working on your
computer and then you see that your system is taking more than five seconds to
open File Explorer or any other file. None of the Windows actually slow down
with time, the slowness of your system depends on other factors — May be some
kind of virus or high storage usage etc.
If your
computer is slowing down and you want to make speed-up your PC then we are
here. Today we will tell you some best tips / ways to make your Windows faster. You
don’t need to buy any new laptop or PC.
Uninstall Your All Unused Applications / Programs
Whenever you
buy a new PC, there are many applications or programs installed, which you
don’t even use. So before heading towards next step please uninstall those
unused programs. Some programs run in your background and you don’t know that
they are running and consuming your storage and making your computer slow as
well.
You can
simply uninstall these programs from Control Panel as shown in this figure:
Your Unnecessary Startups

Note before going through this step: This Step can affect your PC’s Startup. So

You can also
disable your unnecessary startups in your PC. To do this:

your disk by Disk Cleanup. It will not clean up your whole data but only clean
the unwanted files. To clean the disk:

- Select General and click on Disk Cleanup
Disable the Visual Effects, Shadows and Animation Effects
Windows
offer you some beautiful shadows, animation etc. This makes your Windows
appearance more beautiful. These effects hardly affect the performance of
computer but may slow down it so we will recommend you to disable those
shadows, visual effects etc. to disable it:

- And disable some.
If you want
to check each effect then you can but we will recommend you to choose ‘Adjust
for best performance’ at the top and then click on OK.
Reboot Once / Again
Sometimes
many computers start slowing down because they are not rebooted for long time
so make sure to reboot your computer.
Scan for Malwares and Viruses
Malwares and
Viruses are the common problems which are making your computer slow so please
scan your computer fully for checking any malwares or viruses.
Update Your Antivirus
Sometimes
your antivirus is out-dated so it will be unable to find different kind of
virus. So please use updated antivirus and then scan your computer.
Update Your
Windows
If your
version of Windows is outdated then may it will affect your speed. So check
the newer version of your windows.

Clean Your PC
Sometimes
dust also creates the problem in working of PC. Try to open your PC and clean
every part especially fans. You can find many tutorials on internet on How to
clean your PC or Laptop etc.
Clean Everything and Start Again
If none of
the steps are working then clean everything from your computer after taking
your important data and then start your PC as new as it came.
Required More RAM
Random Access Memory also known as RAM. All applications runs on RAM so if the capacity of RAM is less than the required capacity of RAM for specific software then definitely it will slow down your computer. So if you have less RAM then increases it.
Hard Drive Storage
If your Hard Drive is storing very much of data (more than 85% of full capacity), then it will definitely affect your computer speed. So increase your Hard Drive or expand it.
Hardware Problems
Still have
some problems, if you tried every single step given above then there are some
problems in your Hardware and you have to change some of them.
