Theres every chance that a Windows PC might slow down drastically even if it is working in prime condition when you first bought it.

 

Reason being: there are several ways by which junk can accumulate on your PC, and which has to be cleaned up from time to time in order to work at its very best.

 

So, here are 3 ways by which you can speed up your computer:

 

#1: Update your Computer Regularly

 

The vulnerability of Windows and its programs are well-known and documented these days, and it bodes well for Windows users to remain updated with the latest patches and security updates as well if they want their computer to run in optimum condition. This pertain also to antivirus as well as anti-malware utilities that you might have on your computer along with your browser plug-ins and other applications.

 

#2: Uninstall Unnecessary Applications

 

Another aspect to watch out for is the unnecessary addition of numerous programs to your computer. These programs can be added onto your system for a number of reasons and this includes either being negligent on the part of the user, clicking OK to a dialog box that offers programs or even because of unpatched loopholes in the operating system as well as commonly used applications. Alternatively, if left ignored, these programs will clutter your computer but also use precious system resources.

 

#3: Remove unnecessary Startup Programs

 

This is probably one of the best ways to speed up the overall performance of your computer and one can use CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) so as to remove unnecessary programs that run at startup. If you disable these programs from startup, you will free up system resources for tasks that are more important to you.
