I’m posting a summary checklist of general things you can do to solve this issue, and briefly discussing the three most frequent causes : malware, uncontrolled applications, and lack of maintenance, because many readers reveal their computer responding slowly.
Malware
Perhaps the greatest factor to a badly performing computer is malware.
Stage 1. Update the definitions of your anti-virus and run a full scan of your hard disk drive in Safe Mode. Solve any unfixable problems. Notice that some viruses need additional steps before they could be removed; typically a web search will locate specific instructions or a special removal tool. Use the BC forums to obtain support, if you cannot find a solution.
2. You’ve recently downloaded an application, and if the sluggishness is surprising, the issue may rest there. Test this by fully eliminating it. A user will generally perform a internet search about the program before downloading it because in most instances, any potential problem with malware or inferior performance will have surfaced.
Action 3. Adware and Spyware can dramatically impact your computer’s performance, and these are throughout the World wide web.
Revise the explanations of your anti-spyware programs and scan your hard drives in Safe Mode. Seasoned users will consistently run two or three of the applications, because each company has its own requirements for what constitutes spyware and will only search against their own established. (A record of very great, free anti-spyware programs is given by BC). Again, solve any open issues before continuing to the next step.
Uncontrolled Applications
Stage 4. Evaluation applications that self-launch on startup. You computer can become a arena for your attention. Many programs, for example, install a fast-start feature that enables them to be exposed quickly; other programs may comprise an automated update feature that demands them to be working in the background. Each of these slows down your launching Windows and each requires a little bit of sources while your personal computer is running.
The simplest approach to review and than to handle start-ups would be to use one of many small resources available (see the BC list of free applications). If, like, you have Spybot Search and Destroy, you can use its startup tool that lists startups and lets you to turn off any you usually do not need. If you are unsure about what may be safely deleted, remember that Bc maintains a very comprehensive Startup Database that includes information about whether the item is needed, optional, or unnecessary.
At-the same time, remember that those symbols on your own Desktop also take a small number of trunk time to place themselves.
Absence of Upkeep
Stage 5. Clean-up your hard drive (preparation for Stage 7). Delete unused programs and exchange old files to a CD. Unplayed games, tons of family pictures, zipped files that you have previously opened, applications you have not found in two years, software for that old printer you threw away last year—these are some types of files you can delete. Then use Window’s Disk Cleanup to delete temporary internet files, temporary PC health files, etc.
(Note for higher level users: some experts would include the added care step of cleaning up the Windows registry, and you will find plenty of applications to help try this. For the most part, registry care will not make a significant difference, and unless you are very comfortable with Windows, and cautiously make copies of-the registry, you can do serious harm by making registry changes, so this measure is not included
Stage 6. Run scandisk / checkdisk in Safe Mode. Have it repair Msi Error 1316 On Removal.
Action 7. Defragment your pc. Windows tends to put new files in any available open space; defragging will set related segments of files closer together therefore your read arm has less going around the hdd to do, saving wear and tear while boosting up programs.
Hopefully, now that you have have ended, you will find a noticeable improvement in computer performance.
