3 Quick Ways to Speed Up a Slow Windows PC

Windows PCs don’t have to slow down over time. Whether your PC has gradually become slower or it suddenly ground to a halt a few minutes ago, there could be quite a few reasons for that slowness.
As with all PC issues, don’t be afraid to give your computer a reboot if something’s not working properly. This can fix quite a few problems and is faster than attempting to manually troubleshoot and fix the problem yourself.

1. Free Up Disk Space

 

If your hard drive is almost completely full, your computer may run noticeably slower. You want to leave your computer some room to work on your hard drive. You don’t need any third-party software — just running the Disk Cleanup tool included in Windows can help quite a bit.

a) Press windows key type Disk Cleanup then Enter.

b) Click OK and wait for processing  

c) Click on Clean up system files -> Click Ok then wait for processing

    -> Click Ok -> Delete files 

 2. Uninstall Programs you don’t use

Open the Control Panel, find the list of installed programs, and uninstall programs you don’t use and don’t need from your PC. This can help speed your PC up, as those programs might include background processes, autostart entries, system services, context menu entries, and other things that can slow down your PC. It’ll also save room on your hard drive and improve system security — for example, you definitely shouldn’t have Java installed if you’re not using it.

è   -> Click Uninstall

3. Disable Startup Programs

    Better yet, prevent those applications from launching at startup to save memory and CPU cycles,    as   well as speed up the login process.
 Right-click the taskbar and select “Task Manager” or press Ctrl + Shift + Escape to launch it. Click over to the Startup tab and disable startup applications you don’t need. Windows will  helpfully tell you which applications slow down your startup process the most.
