we can have a look on some effective Windows speeding up tips in order to optimize laptop performance to avoid slow-down issues you face.
1) Diagnose Then Troubleshoot - Diagnosing your Laptop/PC
Just like all other problems you face in computers or laptops, you need to check the reasons for slowing-down issues of computers. In most cases, the reasons are as follows. After knowing these problems, we can jump to the tips.
2) Run Services Only If You Want Them
When you install Microsoft Windows on your fresh PC, you are actually adding something non-essential to the systems. There are findings that many services are there in Windows, which are not essential for PC functioning. Reoking of these services could effectively fix slow-down issues in your PC and increase computer speed. Top list of services you can disable (you may disable) is as follows.
If it seems that you are already using any tune-up facilities and found these services stopped, you can get a noticeable increase PC performance. Please be cautioned when revoking services because a bad action may harm your PC.
3) Startup Applications - A Reason For Computer Startup Slow Process
If your computer’s booting process is taking that much time, unnecessary startup programs may be the reason for issue. The main reason for computer startup slow down issues is that these programs will start working once Windows is loaded, which means that more time will be taken to make your Desktop ready to go. You can control these startup applications in an in-built editor of Microsoft Windows. For doing that type ‘msconfig’ in start menu (Or Run -> Type cmd ->in bash window type msconfig and hit Enter key), select the Startup section in the appearing window. You will see one window like in following image.
Have a detailed glimpse on that list. If you find any unnecessary startup applications in your PC, you can disable them (we cannot predict applications because it varies according to use) in order to attain less booting time and speed for PC. For example, if you use VMware Workstation in your PC, it will start from the booting time by default, which consumes memory of your device.
4) Malware Attacks - Increase Computer Speed By Removing Malware
We advise you to use reliable and powerful Antivirus software because slowing down issues can be caused by malware attacks as well. One of our friends had told us that he is facing an utter slow down in his PC especially after connecting to Internet. There were no use of several boosting tips but we found a serious malware + keylogger in the PC in a detailed analysis. That malware was consuming memory and speed of PC once the system is connected to internet as well as sending sensitive data such as passwords via internet. Such malwares can be also in your PC, causing a slow-down. So it is advised to use a reliable Antivirus for frequent scanning purposes.
5) Insufficient Memory (RAM) Issues
If you are using your PC for virtualization purposes by means of VMware or VirtualBox or video editing, it is sure that your PC requires more memory than usual. As usual, you will face a major slow down when you use a silly 2 GB RAM for this kind of stuff and still ask how to improve computer speed, which will majorly effect all other programs running in your PC. It is advised to upgrade your RAM after checking your usage via Windows’s own Resource Monitor. You can search for Resource Monitor in Taskbar and know how memory is used up. You can use ReadyBoost in Windows 7 if you are not able to upgrade to a higher RAM.
6) An Eye On Storage Drive
If you are using a traditional Hard Drive for storing data in PC, it will not help you in attaining speed. In case, if current hard drive is old, more problems will gradually arise. You can use an SSD (Solid State Drive) for getting more speed than when you use a normal HDD. Solid State Drives are less affected by shakes and physical damages as well. Though SSDs are expensive than HDDs, you can use them when performance and speed matters.
7) Favorable Power Settings
In most notebooks, for saving battery usage, it is set by default to bear an economy power level, where performance is also in economy. You will face a minor or major (according to mode) change in PC-performance when using such modes. It is good to use the High Performance for getting the maximum juice of your PC if you want that much of speed and never cares about the power bills. You can also set keep your associated devices from powering off when you are with time-consuming projects.
8) Disk Defragmentation
Disk Defragmentation is the process of merging the fragmented files in your traditional Hard Drive. Windows has an in-built tool for defragmentation. You can use disk defragmentation in Windows 7 running on traditional HDDs in order to get more speed and performance. No major effect will be there if you are using SSDs.
9) Uninstall Apps If You Do Not Use Them
Suppose that you are using your PC for usual purposes like Web Browsing and document making. What is the use of Photoshop there then? Instead, you can use Easy To Use and Free Image Editors, which consume less memory of device. You can use same method in other purposes as well.
10) Windows Updates
It is good to be up-to-date with Windows. As you know, Microsoft releases timely updates for your Windows powered computer. You can keep your PC updated because you will get essential boosts in speed and performance. You should have a genuine version of Windows and a powerful internet connection for updates.
