Over time, your computer may lose its initial speed, but this does not mean that its performance cannot be improved.
There are several simple and effective ways to return your device to the performance it had before after purchasing a laptop.
Many programs are set to start automatically when the computer is turned on, which increases loading time and consumes resources. Check the startup list in the task manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and disable unnecessary programs.
Programs and extensions that are not used take up memory and consume system resources. Remove them via Control Panel or use utilities like CCleaner for a deep cleaning.
In Windows settings, select the “Highest performance” power plan.
Malicious programs can run in the background, slowing down the system. Use antivirus programs or the built-in “Windows Defender” for regular scanning.
Outdated drivers and operating system can negatively affect performance. Install updates regularly for compatibility with new software and bug fixes.
If other methods do not help, consider reinstalling the system. This will clear the device of accumulated garbage and errors, restoring its performance. Be sure to back up your data before doing so.
Lack of RAM often causes the system to slow down, especially when working with several applications. Increasing the amount of memory to 16 GB or more can significantly improve performance.
