1. Disable startup programs: You can speed up your computer by disabling unnecessary startup programs. Go to the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), select the Startup tab, and disable any unnecessary startup programs.
2. Use Windows 10 built-in tools: Windows 10 has some useful performance-boosting tools, like the Disk Cleanup utility, Storage Sense, and the ReadyBoost feature. You can use these to free up disk space and optimize your system’s performance.
3. Defragment your hard drive: Regularly defragmenting your hard drive is a great way to improve system performance. Windows 10 comes with its own defragmenting tool, which you can access by going to Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools.
4. Make sure your drivers are up-to-date: Outdated drivers can cause all sorts of problems, from crashes to slow performance. Use a driver updater tool to ensure that all your drivers are up-to-date.
5. Turn off visual effects: Visual effects can take a toll on system performance, so if you’re looking for extra speed, you may want to turn them off. To do this, go to Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced System Settings > Performance Settings > Visual Effects.
