Instructions
Step 1
In fact, the deterioration in the performance of the operating system is not always associated with the presence of a large number of programs on the hard disk. Therefore, often cleaning a computer so that it does not slow down means performing its maintenance with the help of special tools. First of all, defragment the C: drive (Start - Programs - System Tools - Defragment). This procedure organizes files and their components, which, over time, lose their integrity and clog up the computer's memory. Please be patient, the operation can take from several minutes to a whole day, depending on the speed of the system and its state.
Step 2
Clean your computer from viruses so that it stops slowing down. Even if you already use an anti-virus program, this does not mean that the system is completely virus-free. You can try installing additional free and simple antiviruses and re-scan your computer. Programs such as 360 Total Security and Avast will help you with this. They effectively remove viruses, as well as various malicious elements, system junk, etc.
Step 3
Clear the cache of the browser through which you access the Internet. Caches are temporary files that the computer saves to speed up access to frequently visited pages. Moreover, there may be many undesirable elements among them, which only take up free space and worsen the stability of the system. Go to your browser settings, find the "Cache" tab and select the clear function. Also, don't forget to delete your browser history and extra files in the Downloads section.
Step 4
The standard tools of the Windows operating system do not always effectively cope with its cleaning, so you can install additional and free programs by downloading them from the Internet. The most popular applications of this type are AVG PC TuneUp, System Cleaner, Yet Another Cleaner, and a few others. With the help of them, you can completely remove unnecessary programs and files from your computer, speed up the system startup and even fix problems in the system registry, which is very important, since various viruses and faulty programs violate its integrity and lead to Windows crashes.
Step 5
Remove unnecessary items from startup so that the computer stops slowing down after starting the operating system. Press the key combination Win + R and enter the word msconfig. On the Startup tab, uncheck all suspicious items (for example, strange and unfamiliar program names), as well as processes that only use up memory, for example, Adobe, Office, etc. Here you can organize the items on the Services tab. Disabling unnecessary services can significantly speed up the system's performance, however, it is not recommended to configure this section yourself without special knowledge or help from a specialist.
