Many have noticed that a few months after installing the operating system, it starts to work much slower. This is due to several reasons that must be eliminated in a timely manner.
One of the common reasons for a slow operating system is the launch of a large number of background applications. Despite the fact that most users use 2-3 programs at the same time, many utilities work in automatic mode. Most programs during installation embed their files in the startup menu. That is why they are automatically launched every time you turn on your computer.
The second popular reason is the lack of free space on the system partition of the hard drive. Usually a certain amount of free space is allocated for the computer's virtual memory. This is one of the types of temporary memory. And its presence is extremely necessary for the stable operation of the operating system.
The presence of a large number of viruses is a fairly common problem. Many users do not properly monitor the state of the operating system. This results in malicious software appearing in the system files. Despite the fact that many viruses do not pose a clear threat to the system itself, they can significantly reduce its performance.
Not the most common, but quite common problem is the neglect of defragmenting the hard drive. After deleting files from the hard drive, empty clusters remain. Most often they are scattered over the entire surface of the disc plates. This leads to the fact that each new file is written in parts in different areas of the disk. This situation makes it very difficult to read such files, which leads to a slowdown in the operating system.
Perform disk defragmentation, registry cleanup, and virus scan of your computer in a timely manner. This will help you maintain the performance of your operating system without having to reinstall it.
