Resolving Performance Issues on Windows PC.
Helpful tips for increasing your Windows PC speed and performance.
While trying to resolve performance issues on a Windows PC, there are various options to tweak and look at. In most cases, there will be some background and irrelevant processes running on the PC that cause it to perform poorly. The following options are available when trying to improve your PC performance:
Adjusting Power Settings: Often your PC might be in power-saving mode. This allows for longer battery life especially when you are on the go. However, it causes the PC to perform slowly since the goal is to reserve the battery. You can change this to the Balanced or High-Performance mode if you are looking for the best performance from your PC.
Disabling Windows Tips and Tricks: Windows Tips and Tricks is a process that helps you get acquainted with the Windows OS. However, as you use your PC, you will become familiar with the OS and won’t need the tips anymore. Therefore, disabling the process will be a good idea especially when you want to improve your PC performance.
Uninstalling Bloatware: Bloatware are applications and features that you don’t use at all but still have installed on your PC. These applications use resources even though you might not be using them. You can stop these applications from using resources by uninstalling them from your PC.
Lower the Number of Startup Applications: Startup applications are applications that start right after your PC boots up. Since they are the very first applications to start, they start acquiring your PC resources right off the bat. This might be okay for apps that are important to you and that you use constantly. However, some apps might not be as useful and might need to be disabled from starting up when your PC boots up.
Use the Disk Cleanup feature: One thing to note is that every application you install on your PC is going to have some set of files it accesses to improve its performance. Sometimes, when these applications are uninstalled from your PC, the files they used are still going to be stored on your PC. Performing disk cleanup regularly can help get rid of these files and improve the performance of your PC.
