slow pc? find out the reasons and solve it!
TRANSCRIPT
Reasons why your computers slows down
• Bad users’ habits • Other reasons due to system
configuration
Bad users’ habits
a. Too many files and
folders
b. Installing/uninstalling
programs too often
c. Too many auto starting
programs
Bad users’ habits Too many filers and folders Windows needs at least 15% of free disk space. On the right you can see a positive example of hard drive space management. Here you can see two hard disks (C: and D:), but in your case you’ll mostly have one hard drive only (C:). Things get tricky when that bar is full or almost full. To check you’re using less than 15% you only need to divide the used space by the total disk space
Bad users’ habits
Too many auto starting programs They use too much RAM memory, so that nothing is left for other applications or files. They are displayed in System Configuration, that can be opened by entering msconfig in Start/Search. Go to Startup tab and try to slash this list to the minimum, leaving Microsoft services alone. In the example, the deselected programs aren’t necessary for Windows to function, so I disabled them to save RAM memory.
System Configuration problems
Outdated / insufficient hardware • Microsoft determines the
minimum requirements necessary to run a specific Windows version,to know them go to www.microsoft.com
• Even though you meet the
requirement that can not be enough. For example, a gaming PC will need at least 16 GB RAM memory and two video cards, but the minimum necessary to install Windows 7 is 1 GB RAM and 20 GB hard drive disk space.
Windows Experience Index
Assigns the system an overall score, ranging from 1.0 to 7.9, determined by individual scores for each hardware category. Shows what hardware component needs to be upgraded. In this example it’s the video card, because it scores 3.0 (half the other components). Windows Experience Index -‐ Does Windows play bingo? for more details.
Disk Cleanup Utility This built-‐in Windows functionality is used to delete temporary files. To use it you'll need to right-‐click the volume where Windows is installed and select Properties and then choose Disk Cleanup (you can also access it by entering cleanmgr.exe in Start/Search). The utility calculates how much space can be freed. At this point you can click OK and proceed cleaning up the selected files. If you need more space you can click Cleanup System Files to select temporary system files that can be deleted
CCleaner
It can remove unnecessary files and
orphaned entries and allows users to
backup the Registry before making any
changes. I warmly recommend to do
so, as it allows to revert your changes
in case of problems. Available from https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
