Windows 10

Windows new operation system is really great, it's fast and stable in performance and have so many cool applications like Cortana. But, not all operation systems are perfect. Just like human, they will some problems at some point in their life. Over the time Windows 10 can pick up a number of drag factors that cause the performance to slow down. And here are some tips to maintain your Windows 10 performance.

1. Identify an apps that slow down your computer
Task Manager

















Sometimes a programs can be affected by an update, develop faults, or are just plain badly written. This can cause them to monopolize your system resources, which of course leads to stuttering performance. To see which programs are currently having the most impact on your PC open the Start Menu and type Task Manager.

Pick the top result and then when the window appears click More Details and you’ll see a list of all the processes running on your machine. Look in the CPU and Memory columns to see if there is one in particular that dominates the statistics. If you want to stop any program just click on it then click the End Task button in the bottom right corner.

2. Uninstall unnecessary application

That extra preinstalled software installed by PC makers continues to be an issue with new computers. Here's how: Tap on the Start button (by default all the way in the lower-left corner of the display), then on All apps at the bottom, and then simply right-click on the offender and choose Uninstall. This will immediately uninstall. You can also right-click on the Windows logo Start button, and choose the top choice Programs and Features. You can also simply type Programs in the Cortana Ask me anything box next to the Start button.

You can usually find the culprits by sorting the list of installed apps on the name of your PC Maker. When you've found junk apps you don't want, simply select them and click Uninstall. Unfortunately, you can only remove one at a time, so set aside a half hour or so for this project. Don't forget to take the hatchet to apps you installed yourself but no longer want, and for software you don't want that was installed alongside software you did want.

Keep in mind, with Windows 10 there are two kinds of applications, traditional desktop ones and modern Windows Store apps. To remove the latter, go to the Settings app's Apps & Features page. There, you'll see both kinds of apps, while the good ole Control Panel only includes good ole desktop programs. In either you can sort by size, date installed, or name, or search for a particular app.

The reason this helps performance is that many programs load processes at boot time and take up valuable RAM and CPU cycles. While you're in the Programs and Features section of Control, you can also click Turn Windows Features On or Off and scan the list to see if there's anything you don't use. You might also try software like PCDecrapifier and Revo Uninstaller utilities.

3. Free up some storage
Storage













Operating systems tend to borrow parts of the hard drive to give themselves a bit of thinking space, so if your storage is pretty much maxed out it can actually cause performance issues. To check how much room is left on your drive go to the Windows Start Menu > Settings > System > Storage and you’ll be shown the current usage on This PC. Clicking on This PC will open a breakdown of all the types of data that are using up your storage. It’s generally a good idea to have at least ten percent of the total HD space free - so on a 128GB drive you’ll want the minimum of 12.8GB free - and obviously a bit more will give you room to still add files without the same problem appearing.

If your drive is full then a spot of spring cleaning will need to happen. Try looking in your Downloads folder, as this can often get piled high with stuff that you really don’t need. After that try removing applications you never use, backing up photos and videos to external drives, and generally giving your system a bit of a clear out.

One good tool that you’ll find in Windows is Disk Cleanup, which quickly removes temporary files and other data that the tool deems unimportant. To access it open the Windows Start Menu then search for Disk Cleanup, click on the top result, then select which drive you want to clean. The tool will do the rest itself.

4. More Ram
Ram











Windows 10 isn't as much of a hog as earlier versions of the OS, but more memory is always a way to speed up PC operations. For a lot of today's Windows devices, such as the Surface convertible tablets, however, adding RAM isn't an option. Gaming and business laptops often still allow RAM upgrades, but that's becoming rarer by the year. The new, slimmer ultrabooks and convertibles are usually fixed. The bigger RAM makers' (Crucial, Kingston, Corsair) websites all offer product finders that show you which type of RAM your PC takes, and prices are pretty reasonable.

5. Eliminated some malware
Windows Defender











Last but not least, before you start searching for various system tweaks. It’s advisable to run a system scan to ensure that there are no erroneous pieces of software causing harm and slowing down your machine. If you rely on Windows Defender for your security then you’ll need to go to the Start Menu, Settings, Update and Security, and Windows Defender then in the right hand panel scroll down until you see Open Windows Defender. Click this and then in the next window on the right hand side there are options to run a Quick, Full, or Custom scan. Make sure you won’t need your PC for a little while and opt for the Full version. Then click on Scan now. If Windows finds anything untoward it will let you know and suggest ways to deal with the issue.

If you use another security package, such as AVG, Norton, McAfee, or similar, you’ll need to launch the program and find the option to perform a system scan. They are usually very easy to discover.
