From the Start menu, type Disk Cleanup. This opens the trusty Disk Cleanup utility that's been part of Windows for several generations of the OS. Disk Cleanup finds unwanted junk such as temporary files, offline Web pages, and installer files on your PC and offers to delete them all at once.
You may even find that your Recycle Bin is bulging at the seams. This will generally only have a noticeable effect on speed if your drive is getting close to full, however. If you don't have disk defragmentation scheduled regularly, set that up in the Optimize Drives tool, which you can find by typing its name in the Cortana search box next to the Start button.
Note that if your main disk is an SSD, then you needn't bother with defragging, since there aren't any moving parts reading the disk. An even newer way to keep storage use is by enabling the Storage Sense option see image above. This automatically frees up space by removing temporary files and Recycle Bin items. Windows 10 manages memory more efficiently than earlier versions of the OS, but more memory always can potentially speed up PC operations.
Gaming and business laptops often still allow RAM upgrades, but that's becoming more rare. The new, slimmer ultrabooks and convertibles are usually fixed. If you still use a desktop tower, this article can show you how to add RAM. Not does Windows startup benefit, but loading and using demanding applications such as Adobe Photoshop happens much faster with an SSD. For system speedup, it makes sense to replace your internal startup hard drive, and if you use a laptop, this may also be an option.
You can run the built-in Windows Defender or a third-party app to do this, but you're best served by PCMag security guru Neil Rubenking's top pick among malware-cleanup programs, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware—it's free! But don't forget to use ongoing anti-malware protection, too. Some of the AV products have a lighter footprint on system performance than others, and the lightest of all, according to Rubenking, is Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus.
Rubenking also awards 4. See his complete roundup of the best antivirus software for full details. Of course, this isn't a good choice if you want to save electricity, but it could boost your computing speed. From here, click on the dropdown arrow on the right side to 'Show additional plans' and then choose High Performance. Open the Control Panel and search for troubleshooting. Run the troubleshooters under System and Security, and it may find the root cause of your slowdown.
This happens automatically on a schedule, but if you're experiencing slowdowns, it's worth trying. If your PC is still hopelessly bogged down, you can use the Windows Security app's Fresh start option, but be warned that doing so removes your installed programs. You can easily get to this setting by typing adjust appearance in Cortana. In the dialog, you can use the radio button at the top labeled Adjust for best performance or select which eye-candy features you can live without from the long list of checkboxes below these choices.
If you do choose the overall best-performance button, you'll lose all of the visual effects. For example, you won't see the contents of a window you're dragging move, but rather just a rectangle representing the window's edges. Keeping the effects that you enjoy checked in the dialog is probably a better way to go. You can also get to this tool from the new Settings app and searching for 'maintenance' or 'performance.
Especially for lower-powered PCs, search indexing can eat up system resources, if only temporarily. I have since uninstalled them all, yet my bandwidth is still limited. Specifically, check you make sure that there are no programs installed that may still be active on the Windows installation.
Make sure that you are on the latest drivers for the chipset you are using. Also, make sure that all of the motherboard drivers are loaded. Sometimes Windows will automatically install drivers for you through Windows Update and they are not the best ones to use for performance. What setting may be causing the limit to my bandwidth? Ricster Ricster. Hi Manzur Sorry for the inconvenience. Please try the following to see if it works. There, you should see the process definitions you created earlier.
If you want to limit additional applications, you can add additional filters to the Filterset screen. However, the free version of TMeter limits you to four filters in total.
Once you do that, you can limit up to four applications at a time with this method. But, it does work. Browse All iPhone Articles Browse All Mac Articles Do I need one?
