How can I reduce the amount of resources my system is using?

1. Identify which processes are taking up the most resources, then decide if those processes need to be running. If not, try stopping or disabling them.
2. Close any unneeded programs and web browsers.
3. Consider whether you’re running too many applications at once. If you don’t need all of them open, close those that you’re not using.
4. Check your computer for malware and viruses. Malicious programs can use up a large amount of resources.
5. Make sure that you have the latest driver and software updates for your system.
6. Clean up your hard drive by deleting files, programs, and applications that you no longer need.
7. Adjust your computer’s power settings to reduce background activities.
8. Set alerts for when specific resource limitations are reached.
9. Evaluate what hardware you’re using and consider if a newer, more efficient device would suit your needs better.
