Important Tips For Faster Computer, Laptop
When we are using computer sometimes notice that our computer is performing command with slow speed mainly excel file opening and it is taking much more time to complete a command than before. It is very frustrating when our computer becomes slower. If we take some steps we can speed up our slow computer and can easily save our important times.
1. Remove unnecessary applications or software:
We often install different kinds of software in our computer and some of them remain unused for a long time. To speed up your computer always remove these kinds of unused software from your hardisk. After switching on your PC often comes preloaded with some kinds of software which you log on your user account even through you are not using these programs. To avoid it and to get rid from this please open control panels of your computer then programs and features page, find through the list of installed software which are not being used, and uninstall those. In the right side of the task Bar of your computer monitor appears a group of small icons generally named as the system tray. All of these icons usually represent a program that has been at least partially started or is running in the background of your computer each of them reduce available memory and processing power and can make your computer slower. If you close unused icon from them it will return resources to the system will provide available for use by the applications started specially by the user of the computer. To do this go to your task manager and click on the process tab and end all process that you can.
2. Recycle bin, Temp, Prefetch and Recent Files Delete:
When some of them becomes unnecessary for us we simply delete form our hard drive to free our hard drive space. Simply deleting file, documents, movies, songs and different kinds of software or application from the disk does not really delete them at all from our disk rather they are moved to a temporary holding area on the hard drive for easy restoration for us. This area is called the recycle bin and it is usually displayed on the desktop opening screen. Please delete them from recycle bin and the space on the hard drive that the data occupied will be available for reuse and you will have to keep in your mind that the restoration of any files emptied from the recycle bin area becomes extremely difficult. To delete temp files your computer hard drive please go to the run option and write in the search box %temp% and press enter key then it will show you all of your temp files, to delete them just select them and simply delete them. This process will help you to speed up your computer.
3. De fragment Your Hard Disk Drive:
A hard drive contains different kinds of files including the system files and folders. To arrange them well you have to De-fragment you your files on all hard drives. To De-fragment hard drives at first you have to right click a drive icon in my computer and then select properties option and then have to go tools option. Then you have to choose De-fragment to allow the utility to clean up fragmented file and consolidate free space on the drive. De-fragmentation process should be done at least once per every week, or even more often if the PC is used heavily.
4. Use Anti-Virus Software Like as Kaspersky and Keep It Updated:
Always try to use updated anti-virus software to protect your computer form virus because virus can damage your important files and can reduce the actual speed of your computer. All include regular virus definition file updates that allow the program to detect and protect your computer from the latest virus being released. You also have to keep in your mind one think clear that while you are installing anti-virus software actually slows down your computer but it does not slow it down as much as a virus does. You can also install an Ad Blocker, It is not only prevents malware sites but it also reduces temp disk space for the browser by about 30% by not downloading the advertising.
5. Shut down| Reboot After Remove Process:
We often remove software when they become unused or they do not work properly. To release memory properly and to speed up slow computer you should shut down| reboot your computer after the removing process because some programs do not release memory properly when they close. Even doing a warm restart will not release some of the memory drives and other core programs had allocated. The computer has to be completely shut down and then restarted to release disk memory properly.
