Tricks For Dealing With Sluggish And Slow PC Performance

 

Do you have sufficient time to brew a cuppa while your computer boots up in the morning? Is your computer so exhausted that you can walk all around the block while waiting for a programme to open? There are a few ways you can choose to give a digital caffeine boost if your laptop is slow, sluggish and tired. So is your computer running slow? Follow these tips to get the most of it.

1. Make some room on your hard drive.

If you receive messages indicating that your hard drive is 90 per cent full, it's time to do some cleanup work. You can free up space by emptying the trash, transferring video, audio, and images to the cloud, or deleting items you no longer use, but this rarely makes a significant difference unless you are skilled at searching the bowels of your device for unwanted computer files.

Files on the hard disc are fragmented and re-distributed every time you post an email, modify an image, or edit a document. Every time you install or uninstall a program, your computer becomes clogged with a slew of incomplete files. Leftover code remains, causing the system to become sluggish and wasting system resources.

2. Clear your browser's cache

We all like free things, but they aren't always as reliable. When you download free software, it frequently includes hidden add-ons or other PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) that slow down your computer or contain harmful code that can damage it. Some free toolbars infect your computer, steal your personal information, hijack your browser, or install the software you don't need or want.

3. Examine the programmes that are running in the background.

Background applications and programmes can cause your computer to slow down. When you listen to music, for example, an audio programme runs in the background, consuming resources. Go to your Task Manager to see what programmes are running, and if you aren't using anything, you can terminate the process.

4. Increase the capacity of your computer or memory.

Some of the most recent software cannot be run on older computers due to a lack of memory capacity. Windows 10, for example, has a lot of visual effects, but it can end up making old systems sluggish. Experts recommend at least 1 GB of memory (RAM) for a 32-bit system and 2 GB for a 64-bit system.

5. Reinstall any out-of-date software.

Drivers, programs, and operating systems that are out-of-date or unpatched can have security flaws, bugs, and incompatibilities that slow you down, so make sure to install the recommended patches and updates.
