Before diving into solutions, it's essential to grasp why your Windows 10 system may be lagging. Several factors can slow down your computer, including:

  • Too many background processes: Your PC may be running various unnecessary programs that consume system resources.
  • Lack of storage space: A nearly full hard drive can impact performance.

  • Malware infection: Viruses and malware can severely hinder system performance.

Understanding these factors will help you recognize which areas to address for optimal performance. Alright, let's go to other options!

Keeping Windows Updated

One of the first steps you should take is to ensure your Windows operating system is up-to-date. Microsoft frequently releases updates that include performance improvements, security patches, and bug fixes.

  3. Choose Update & Security.
  4. Click on Windows Update and then select Check for updates.

Managing Startup Programs

Many applications configure themselves to launch automatically when you boot up your computer. This can slow down your startup time and overall performance.

How to Manage Startup Programs:

  1. Right-click on the Taskbar and select Task Manager.
  2. Click on the Startup tab.
  3. Review the list of programs and identify any that you don’t need to start automatically.

  2. Choose the drive you want to clean (typically the C: drive).
  3. Wait for the tool to scan and review the files.
  4. Select the files you want to delete (like temporary files, recycle bin, etc.) and click OK.

Regularly performing Disk Cleanup can help maintain system responsiveness.

Unused applications take up storage space and can run background processes that slow down your system.

How to Uninstall Programs:

  1. Click the Start menu and go to Settings.
  2. Select Apps.
