in this tutorial i'm
gonna show you guys how you can speed up your windows 10 computers performance
and to do that, we are not gonna use any external softwares. So After
installing the windows 10 in your laptop and using it for some time, you may notice
that your computer is getting slower.
And there are some techniques which you can apply to your computer and
make your computer run faster.
1- Disable the startup programs :
So the first thing that we need to do is ,we need to disable
unused unwanted startup programs. And to
disable the startup programs, you need to right click on any of the empty space
in the task bar and once you gonna right click you need to click on task
manager. Once you are in the task
manager you guys can select a tab called startup and in this startup tab you
guys can see the startup programs which are set up in your computer. So what
happens is whenever you install new softwares, some softwares use to add small programs
called startup programs. For example if
you are gonna install the java then java adds a small startup program to check
for the new updates. And these startup
programs are gonna start when you start your computer and login to your windows
10 operating system and they are gonna take the system resources you know they
are gonna take the processing time and also they are gonna take some memory so
hence they are responsible for the slowness of your system to some extent.
So what you can do is you can disable the unwanted startup
programs. So here in this startup tab you guys can see a lot of startup
programs and what you can do is you can identify the programs which you don’t
use very often. So you can identify the
softwares which you don’t frequently use and also the softwares you know which
you think you don’t want them to you know have the startup programs, identify
them and then select them and click on this disable button. Here i have this adobe acrobat speed launcher
and i don’t want this program to run in the startup. So once you are gonna click on that disable button,
you guys can see the status is changed to disabled. It means that when the next
time i log in, you know this program will not start as a startup program. So
similarly you guys can identify the programs which you don’t want to run you
know in the start up and disable them.
So once you have disabled all the programs, you know close this window.
- Reduce the Run Time Services :
Now the next thing
that we need to do is, we need to reduce the Run Time Services. To reduce the
run time services, first open run, so click on the start button and type run
and it will show this run desktop app. Just click on that and its gonna open up
the run. here you need to type msconfig
and after that click on ok. It will open up this system configuration window
and here you guys can see a tab called services. click on that. its gonna list all the services which are you
know installed in your computer. So what
you can do is you can hide all the microsoft services. You know these microsoft services are
important for your operating system to function properly. So we don’t want to disable those services.
we just want to disable the services which were added by any external softwares
which you have installed. So click on
this hide all microsoft services and
all the microsoft operating system related services will not be shown now. So
now you guys can see all the services added by the external softwares. So identify the services which you don’t
think you know they are necessary. And
just select them and disable them. For
example you know i can disable this Intel services So just select those
services which you don’t think you know they are not important and disable
them. So once you identify and disable all the services, click on apply and ok
and it will ask you to restart your computer or exit without restart. i'm gonna exit without restart because I need
to show a lot more tips to make your windows 10 run faster.
So now the next step is we need to change the power options
settings and we need to set for high performance.
So just open up the start menu by clicking on the start
button and type in power options. And it
will show this app, power options control panel. Click on that and it will open this power options
control panel window. By default you
know when you open up this one it will be in the balanced mode, just change
that to high performance mode and then close this window.
3- Improve the performance of your windows :
Alright now the next thing that we need to do in order to
improve the performance of your windows
10 computer is to delete all the temporary junk files. So to delete all the
temporary files, you need to open up the run.
i'm gonna press the WINDOWS
and R key in my keyboard and its
gonna launch the run directly. So here you need to type in temp, T E M P and after typing T E M P click on OK. And it will open
up a folder with all the temporary files.
And Here you guys can see i don’t
have a lot of temporary files because you know i just cleaned it before this
tutorial. That’s why you know you can see less number of files here. In your computer you guys may find more files
and folder. Select all of them and
delete them. So once you are gonna delete that close the folder and again open
up the RUN. And this time type in % T E M P % and then click on OK. And it will
open up another folder with all the temporary files and folders and select all
of them and again right click and delete them. And if some files can not be
deleted, then just skip them
and after doing that close the window. And again open up the Run command. And this time you need to type in prefetch and
then click on OK or press the Enter
Button and if your permission is needed to access the folder give the
permission by clicking on continue and it will open up a lot of file and
folders and select all of them and delete them.
If some files can not be deleted then just skip them and after deleting
all the files and folders close this window. Now again open up the RUN Command
and this time you need to type in recent and click OK and this folder will
contain the shortcuts to the recently opened files and folders and you guys can
see here my folder is empty. Because i
deleted all these files just before making this tutorial and thats why this
folder is empty. In your case you guys may find a lot of short cuts. Just
select all of them and delete them. Once you are gonna delete them close the
window. Now these are the command you
guys need to type in and execute to delete the junk files. And you guys can execute these commands once in
a week or once in three or four days. So
regularly you can delete the temporary files and make your computer run faster.
