Is your computer running slow?
There are many things that slow down computer performance. But that doesn’t
mean you have a buy a new PC. There are a lot of ways available to improve your
computer speed. Read about the reasons for the computer’s slow speed and fixes.
What makes a computer running
slow?
Your computer operating system
manages all the components of your PC like processing power, memory management,
drives space, etc. while running the programs. Here are the following things
that reduce your PC performance:
Running many startup programs
in the background
This is the most common reason
for the slow speed of computer especially when you download new programs if you
didn’t uncheck the permission pop up. This results in the running of
unnecessary programs in the computer background that reduces your computer
performance.
Fix: For windows computer,
go to the search bar and type “task manager”. Open the task manager app and
select the unnecessary running tasks one by one then right-click and select the
“end task” from the list.
Hard Drive is Full or
Corrupted
Another reason for slow speed is
your computer running out of disk drive space. Sometimes, a bad, corrupted or
fragmented hard drive may cause the issue.
Fix: If the HDD is running
out of space, remove some unnecessary data from the hard drive to make some
free space. Run chkdsk or use any other software to check if the disk drive is
working properly.
Scan for Virus or Malware
Viruses and Malware are also a
big reason for many computer problems. Download a free antivirus from the
internet and run a scan for viruses and malware. The antivirus will find and
remove all the viruses and malware automatically.
Update Windows and Drivers
A computer also gets slow when
new Windows updates come. Make sure you have installed all the latest Windows
updates along with the latest drivers.
Delete Temporary Files
Temporary files get stored in the
hard drive while computer operations. Deleting these files can increase your PC
speed. You can use the Windows Disk Cleanup tool or any external program like
ClearTemp to remove temporary files for your computer.
