How to clean your computer of unnecessary junk. The final digital recycling method: the command line. Built-in Windows tool

Almost every action you take on your computer is recorded, and after every installation and removal of a program, temporary and unnecessary files remain. Over time, viruses accumulate, dust accumulates, thermal paste dries out, and this can continue for a long time. I can only say one thing: it is necessary to clean your computer periodically so that it does not slow down.

In this post I want to show you how to remove, clean, and lubricate what and where. After such cleaning, you yourself will be pleased to sit in front of a computer that works without glitches or slowdowns.

Why does my computer slow down?

Before you clean anything, you need to figure out why your computer is slowing down. There can be a whole carload of reasons, and in order not to do unnecessary work, let's do a little diagnostics to determine the cause of the brakes. Do all the tests listed below, then everything will become clear.

How to clean your computer from dust

If the computer used to work well and you didn’t do anything with it, just used it for its intended purpose, but now it’s started to malfunction, most likely you can get by with regular dust cleaning and replacing thermal paste. In any case, it will only be beneficial.

So as not to take 100 photos and every action (take the computer, put it down, turn the screwdriver to the left...) I attach good video, in which everything is visible, shown, told:

RAM diagnostics

Do not exclude this item under any circumstances. Personally, in my experience, it happened that after 2 months of using a new RAM stick, the computer began to slow down a lot and diagnostics showed that not everything new was good. Also, over time, your RAM could fail and give significant hallucinations to your PC or laptop.

To make a diagnosis RAM, open the Start menu and type “mdsched” in the search. Now click on “Reboot and check (Recommended)…”.

All we have to do is wait for the result and everything will become clear. One of two things, either everything is fine, or the RAM needs to be changed.

HDD diagnostics

When hard drive is living out its life, it has characteristic brakes. For example, your computer freezes a lot, but the device manager shows that the memory and processor are not loaded. It can also make sounds (whistles, tapping, rustling, etc.).

Let's do a little diagnostics to determine the condition of the HDD:

1. Download free program"SeaTools for Windows" For hard checks from the official website - https://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/support-content/downloads/seatools/_shared/downloads/SeaToolsforWindowsSetup.exe
2. Run the installation, wait for it to finish, open the program.
3. Open the program, select “Basic tests” from the menu and wait until the program completes the diagnostics.
4. Next, the program will offer you to correct errors (if any). Click "ok" and wait for completion.

After such a procedure, as a rule, the computer should work much better. If even SeaTools did not help, then everything is sad and you need to change the hard drive.

Removing unnecessary things from startup

I wouldn't be even a little surprised if you have at least 5 there unnecessary programs. I constantly look at someone else’s computer with a diagnosis of “slowing down”, in the tray (icons in the taskbar, near the time) there is a lot of unnecessary stuff. An example of such programs: torrent, mediaget, agent @mail.ru, Viber, Skype, etc.

Of course, these programs are needed for certain purposes, but not when you use the computer for other things. To make your computer work faster, you need to remove them from startup, after which they will work only when you need them.

Cleaning Windows 7 startup

To remove programs from startup in Windows 7, do the following:

1. Open the Start menu and search for "msconfig" without quotes. Next, press “Enter” and go to the “Startup” tab.
2. Attentively

Cleaning Windows 10 startup

1. Press "Win" + "R" type the command "regedit" without quotes and press "Enter".
2. A list of programs that run along with the OS has opened in front of you. Attentively look at those programs that do not affect the operation of the OS (torrent, mediaget, @mail.ru agent, Viber, Skype, etc.) and disable them.
3. Click "ok" and restart your computer.

Also, startup in Windows 10 can be found in the manager. To do this, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc simultaneously and go to the “Startup” tab. Remember You only need to disable those programs that you do not need. Otherwise, you can disable drivers (audio, video) and other necessary software.

Remove unnecessary programs

Now you install one program, and along with it 3 more that you don’t need. Over time, these programs become more and more numerous, and the space on the C drive becomes less and less. Also, these programs load your system. If you don't use them, it's better to delete them right now.

Conclusions

I hope I helped you clean your computer and it no longer slows down. I recommend doing all this regularly, and not letting it get to the point where brakes and . Temporary files, viruses, startup - all this is not as scary as dust in the system unit and dried thermal paste. Remember this and clean.

Instructions

In fact, deterioration in operating system performance is not always associated with the presence of a large number of programs on the hard drive. Therefore, cleaning your computer often means performing maintenance on it using special means. First of all, defragment drive C: (“Start” - “Programs” - “Service” - “Defragmentation”). This procedure organizes files and their components that, over time, lose their integrity and clog the computer's memory. Please be patient; the operation can take from a few minutes to a whole day, depending on the speed of the system and its condition.

Clean your computer from viruses so that it stops slowing down. Even if you are already using antivirus program, this does not mean that the system is completely free of viruses. You can try installing additional free and simple antiviruses and recheck your computer. Programs such as 360 will help you with this Total Security and Avast. They effectively remove viruses, as well as various harmful elements, system garbage etc.

Clear the cache of the browser through which you access the Internet. Cache is temporary files that your computer stores to speed up access to frequently visited pages. Moreover, among them there may be many undesirable elements, which only occupy free space and impair the stability of the system. Go to your browser settings, find the “Cache” tab and select the clear option. Also, don't forget to remove and extra files in the "Downloads" section.

Standard operating room facilities Windows systems cleaning it is not always effective, so you can install additional and free programs by downloading them from the Internet. Most popular applications This type is AVG PC TuneUp, System Cleaner, Yet Another Cleaner and some others. With their help, you can completely remove unnecessary programs and files from your computer, speed up system boot time, and even fix problems with your computer. system registry, which is very important, since various viruses and faulty programs violate its integrity and lead to failures in Windows.

Remove unnecessary items from startup so that the computer stops slowing down after starting the operating system. Press the Win + R key combination and enter the word msconfig. On the Startup tab, uncheck all suspicious elements (for example, strange and unfamiliar program names), as well as processes that only load memory, for example, Adobe, Office, etc. Here you can organize elements on the “Services” tab. Disabling unnecessary services can significantly speed up system performance, however, it is not recommended to configure this section yourself without special knowledge or the help of a specialist.

Hi all! Now I’ll try to write a bombshell article about how to clean a computer or laptop so that it doesn’t slow down! In general, I will show everything that works on the Windows operating system using Windows 7 as an example. Advanced user will be able to repeat all this on other operating systems.

Sequence of cleaning a computer (laptop)

1. Remove everything from startup

Why did I put this as the first point? Because computer slows down usually due to a lack of RAM, but how can you do anything at all if it slows down? Therefore, the first thing we do is clean the startup.

Of course, the first reason may be , but it happens in such problems in a maximum of 3%, so I’ll show you how to look at the temperature a little lower...

To clean your computer's startup, you can use special programs but we will standard means, because we just need to disable unnecessary programs from startup and standard tools allow us to see non-standard ones, which also need to be disabled to free up startup.

Press the key combination WIN+R or start - run. Or you can open the task manager and select the file - execute... But I usually just press WIN + R...

10. Breaking hard drive

Now let's split the hard drive into 2, if you don't already have one. I won’t bother you with Acronis, I’ll show you how it’s done in Windows. Right-click again on my computer - control.

On the left go to disk management and right-click on system disk - select shrink volume(if it gives an error, then the disk defragmentation service is disabled).

Now pay more attention. I was confused at first because it wasn't written in the best way!

The size of the compressed space, this is what volume it will be new disk, and not the one you are compressing.

If you are compressing drive C, then in my example, drive C will be 36477, and drive D will be 23895.

When you have selected everything, click compress. Next, unallocated space will appear. Right-click on it and select create simple volume. Next, click next - next, everything is according to the standard. A disk will be created in the file ntfs system and formatted.

11. Desktop optimization

A very big mistake people make is when they throw all their files onto their desktop.

There are 2 disadvantages to this:

• The desktop is located on drive C, and the fewer files on the system drive, the easier it is for the operating system to work.
• Icons on the desktop are constantly loading.

To avoid this, delete everything unnecessary from the desktop, and move heavy folders to drive D, which we created in step 10. If these folders are necessary on the desktop, then simply after moving, right-click on each folder and select send - desktop (create shortcut).
12. Removing unnecessary programs

It’s not that unnecessary programs directly interfere, they can clog the registry, browsers and take up RAM while hanging in services. Therefore, you need to remove all programs that are not needed.

To prevent programs from leaving unnecessary traces, download the program below:

It's portable, so you don't have to install it. Just click next, next and select the folder where to unpack the program.

Let's launch... Initially the program is on English, but there is also Russian. To do this, go to Options and select Russian from the list.

First, the program is uninstalled using the built-in uninstaller.

After uninstalling the program using the built-in uninstaller, the program will begin searching for remaining items.

But not all programs leave extra files. Let's say in the first program there was no unnecessary elements, and in the second there are only files. And sometimes a lot of registry keys remain redundant.

If there are extra files, look through them just in case. If they are really unnecessary, you click select all and delete.

That's all. Perform these operations with all unnecessary programs.
13. Cleaning the registry

Eat great program, which really brings the computer to life... Download:

There are 2 programs in the archive. These are CCleaner and Wise Registry Cleaner. We need a second one. Again, it does not require installation. Let's launch.

In this program you can put things in order. After launch, click scan.

After scanning, the program will show the errors found. Click clear.

AND last tab Registry compression, the most effective. Click analysis.

And after analysis, click compression. The computer will ask to reboot. Let's reboot.

This completes the registry cleaning.

14. Disk defragmentation.

This point is relevant if you do not have an SSD drive, because... at ssd disk The information is stored like on a flash drive and there is no spin-up disk.

And with a regular hard drive, information is read by spinning up the disk and reading the read head from it. Defragmentation at its level collects all the information close to each other, as a result of which the reading head begins to get to the information faster and wears out less. Therefore, this procedure is very important for a regular disk.

The program is again portable in Russian. Download.

Let's launch. As I said, defragmentation is not necessary for SSDs, and in general it is harmful! An SSD has a resource and it is not advisable to move files on it many times. But this program does not just defragment the SSD, but rather optimize it; no movements occur. Therefore, if you have an SSD, select it with a checkmark on the left and click next to the defragmentation button on the triangle and select Optimize SSD.

SSD optimization will begin

This program also has a function for defragmenting individual files.

And very comfortable SMART disk. What is this I wrote in .

Defragmenting a regular disk occurs in almost the same way. Select with a tick on the side regular disk and press itself defragmentation button.

After defragmentation, the following message will appear in the status field: Defragmentation complete.

15. Iron factors affecting slow computer operation:

• High CPU temperature

• High video card temperature

If the temperature of the video card is higher than normal, then the computer may not only slow down, it may even reboot. In general, there was a case with me when a client brought system unit, we turned on the system unit and I saw smoke coming from the video card, and when I ran to unplug the system unit from the outlet, a fire started! Horror! I also wrote about this in the article.

• Bad sectors on the hard drive

Another reason slow work computer has a broken hard drive. The data simply cannot be read from the hard drive and better case the computer slows down, and at worst in general operating system refuses to load. How to check a hard drive for bad sectors I wrote and check the response of the hard drive.

• RAM errors

Computer brakes are very rare in this case. Usually pops up blue screen, but still this can happen. How to check RAM, I wrote.

16. System evaluation

Perhaps your computer is not balanced... It's like if you pump one arm, it won't grow, but if you pump all the muscles together, you can achieve good results. So... It’s the same on the computer.

To see whether your computer is balanced or not, right-click on my computer and select property.

If you have never had a computer evaluated, you will have system rating not available. Or the system will automatically evaluate it. Then we move on to the Windows Experience Index.

As you can see, everything is balanced for me, only the processor shows a lower rating, but at that time I was buying the latest i7... It’s not logical to buy extreme, they cost a lot... Just in case, click repeat rating, bottom right. Once the iron analysis is complete, see if there is a big difference in the scores. If there is, then this is a reason to think about upgrading this element.

And by the way, I noticed that after evaluating the system, the computer began to work a little faster.
17. Load widget(for versions windows home extended and higher)

And finally, a bonus... In order to constantly monitor the computer’s workload and know when it’s busy and when it’s frozen, we’ll install a widget...

Right-click on the desktop and select gadgets:

Now an indicator of CPU and RAM load will be displayed on the desktop...

At the time when I took the screenshot, the processor load was 0.2%, and the RAM load was 47%. If these arrows enter the red zone, you know that the computer is not frozen, but is busy with some processes. And in this case, you need to think about either an upgrade, or you have opened large number programs, or the programs are too heavy.

That's all. These are all the methods that I remembered that will help make sure that the computer, or laptop, does not slow down.

Hello friends. In this lesson I will show you how to clean your computer from debris and unnecessary files. It’s no secret that all the junk that is on our computers does not bring any benefit to our system, and in some cases, on the contrary, can be the reason for computer slowdown and various glitches.

Let me show you how you can clean your computer of junk and unnecessary files in a few simple steps.

Cleaning the Registry and deleting unnecessary files

Using the free CCLEANER program, we can remove a huge amount of junk. Download latest version from the official website: https://piriform.com.

Install CCleaner and run it. Go to the Registry tab, make sure all the checkboxes in the section Registry integrity installed and then click Search for problems.

After a few seconds, all unnecessary entries will be found. To clear them, click Fix and in the window that opens Correct marked.

Now open the first tab - Cleaning. Here you can see what checkboxes are in the section Windows and Applications. I usually leave everything by default and click Analysis.

Upon completion, we see a list of all files ( trash), which can be deleted. Their size is also indicated (almost 1 gigabyte). Click Cleanup to delete this whole thing.

System disk cleaning: TEMP folders, Disk Cleanup

On the way to the next step we need clear TEMP folders, in which temporary files are stored, and perform “Disk Cleanup,” which allows you to clean your computer of unnecessary files using standard system tools. Some functions have already been performed by the CCLEANER program, but I assure you manual check will not be superfluous!

Open the Computer section, then the system drive (C:) and the following folders: Windows – TEMP.

The contents of the TEMP folder can be completely deleted. Temporary files are stored here and are of no use. If errors appear, for example, " These files are used", then we just click " Skip all". Usually it is not possible to delete the minimum number of files!

There is another temporary folder in Windows, and the easiest way to get to it is in the following way. Click Start and type %TEMP% into the search bar. The Temp folder will appear as found.

In Windows 8 and 10, the search can be launched using a keyboard shortcut WIN+Q.

The found folder needs to be opened and the contents cleared!

After cleaning the TEMP folders, do not forget to perform a “disk cleanup” using standard system tools. To do this, right-click on the system disk and select "Properties".

On the "General" tab there is a "Disk Cleanup" button. Click it to analyze unnecessary files.

After a couple of minutes, the program will offer to delete a certain number of files. Check all the boxes and click "OK".

If you have recently updated the system, then in this window you will see more additional button "".

Click it to delete temporary files that were downloaded to update Windows.

Important! If you have little space on your system partition, then I advise you to read my lesson: . There I told you 10 cool tricks for cleaning system disk

Scan your computer for viruses: Dr.Web CureIt

One of important steps at cleaning your computer from unnecessary files– this is of course the same. To do this, you will not need a utility from Doctor Web! Download the latest version from the official website.

Launch Dr.Web CureIt ( does not require installation) and after accepting the agreement, click “Continue” and “Start verification”.

Within approximately 15 minutes, the system will be scanned for malware. If viruses are found, the program will offer to neutralize them.

To clean your computer of junk, it is not enough to simply delete old and unnecessary files. You should not forget about autoloading, which can also become clogged with various rubbish!

Let's go back to earlier installed program CCleaner and go to the "" section. Here we will see all the programs that run with the computer. I advise you to select unnecessary software and click the "Turn off" button.

I consider unnecessary software to include all programs that are not used immediately after turning on the computer. They can be started manually when needed.

Removing unnecessary programs. 2 ways

If you decide clean your computer of junk, then many programs may become unnecessary if you just take it and think about how often we use them? Some users install everything into their system without hesitation. It's time to analyze the software and clean your computer of unnecessary programs.

This can be done, for example, using standard system tools by going to Start – Control Panel – Uninstall a program.

After launch Revo Uninstaller you will also see a list of all programs and clicking on any of them calls the “Uninstall” function.

But here, immediately after deleting the program, we are asked to search for remaining traces. Select "Moderate search" and click "Next".

First, the remaining items in the registry will be found. Select what is indicated in bold and click “Delete”.

And in the next step the program will find the remaining files and folders. They also need to be selected and click “Delete”.

Removing duplicates

From time to time, problems may appear on your hard drive. identical files. Today you downloaded a movie, and six months later you forgot about it and downloaded it again, you download music and then lose it, you download photos from your phone to your computer several times. All this leads to an accumulation of duplicates on the computer.

It is very difficult to manually search for identical files, so let's use special programs.

Let's return to what we already know CCleaner program and open the Service section, the Search for duplicates tab. There are many different parameters that you can customize to suit your needs. For example, I don’t configure anything, I just click “Find”.

After a few minutes, the search for duplicate files will be completed. After carefully studying, I see that I have a couple of identical videos on my computer that can be safely deleted.

I don’t go into detail here, because the program found a lot of files and to remove all the junk you need to spend a lot of time on analysis. But I think the essence of this function is clear!

Up to this point, we have figured out how to clean your computer from garbage in Windows itself, using standard and third party programs. But don't forget that The computer and laptop also need to be cleaned from the inside.

Don’t forget to look inside the system unit at least once a year and clean it of dust, as well as apply new thermal paste to the processor. Monitoring the temperature of components will also not be superfluous. On this topic, I advise you to read my lesson:. Using the knowledge gained, you will know whether your device is overheating or not!

Now you know how to clean your computer from unnecessary files, junk and programs. That's all, thank you for your attention, I wish you good luck!

Often, users turn to technicians with a problem: why the computer slows down if it is only a few months old from the date of purchase. To eliminate such a problem, the wizard needs no more than 15 minutes to get your computer working in a new way. How does he do this? How to clean your computer yourself? We will deal with this issue now.

Dust is the first reason for braking

Overheating can cause braking. Overheating can occur due to the fact that the system unit simply does not have enough air. Where do you usually have your system manager? Probably in a special compartment of the computer desk.

When operating, especially under heavy loads, system unit components can consume a lot of watts. In terms of power consumption, they can be compared to a hair dryer or a small electric kettle. Of course, such work generates a large amount of heat. It is driven out of the system unit by constantly running fans. As you understand, if you put it in a “blind” niche of the table, and also cover it with a bunch of necessary papers, your computer will be in constant overheating. The equipment tolerates everything, only the fan begins to work differently, more noisily. Even the slightest load causes them to start working at full capacity.

As the load or ambient temperature increases, electronic components a special protection of the microprocessor is triggered, it is called throttling. Its main task is to artificially reduce the number of operations performed per second. For example, your computer is performing a complex operation, but from time to time it begins to take small breaks. For this reason, games freeze very often.

If your computer’s radiator is “clogged” with dust, then the transition to respite mode begins much earlier and under lower loads.
To keep your computer from overheating and working as quickly as before, you need to clean it periodically. In this context, we mean mechanical cleaning of the computer.

To clean your computer, you need to remove the system unit from the niche, unscrew a couple of screws, and remove one side cover. That's all. For these purposes, it is not necessary to call a specialist; you can do everything yourself. Clean up the dust wherever you can get it. The main thing is not to break anything.

Action plan:
1.Disconnect the system unit from all wires. If it is difficult for you to remember where a particular wire was connected, then draw a plan on paper or make notes on the wires. Do not disable anything inside the system unit.
2.Take a soft brush and a vacuum cleaner (having removed all attachments in advance, if there is a “wet cleaning” mode, then turn it off too);
3.Lay the system unit on its side ( best place for the procedure - this is the floor);
4. Turn on the vacuum cleaner to suction, then take the hose with your left hand and bring it to the places where the most dust has accumulated and to the fans.
5.With your right hand, “ruffle” in places where dust accumulates, while simultaneously sucking it into the vacuum cleaner. By the way, a vacuum cleaner is necessary to prevent dust from scattering throughout the apartment.
That's it, the cleaning procedure is finished, return it back removed cover“system unit”, screwing it with screws.
Now your computer will stop overheating, and perhaps stop slowing down.

If you do not have a desktop PC, but a laptop, then contact a computer technician, since not many laptop models allow you to clean the dusty insides simply by removing the cover. As a rule, you need complete disassembly. Laptops have very delicate parts, so it is better to have your laptops cleaned by professionals. Note that they need to be cleaned much more often than stationary ones, since due to their compactness, dust is better retained in them.

If you don't clean your laptop in time, more serious problems may arise. Therefore, it is recommended to clean your laptop once a year (this is the minimum). Especially if tailed friends live in your house.

Computer cleaning software

The main reason why your computer slows down is infection. malware(viruses, worms and other evil spirits). Before you clean your computer, you need to get rid of them. How to clean your computer from viruses? It's simple.

To do this, install powerful antivirus and run full check the entire computer. Choose an antivirus from well-known companies; little-known ones can do harm rather than good. Not a bad option - trial version paid antivirus. As a rule, it is fully functional, but has a usage limit (usually 30 days). As you understand, paid antivirus better than free.

Remember that two antiviruses cannot exist on a computer at the same time, as this can also cause the computer to slow down.

Temporary files slow down your computer

If, after checking your computer for viruses, it is still slow, then you need to clean it of temporary files. To do this, enable the display of hidden files. Further advice will differ depending on the version of the operating system installed on your computer.

Do the following: Start => Control Panel => Folder Options. In the “View” tab, put a dot next to the “Show” column hidden files and folders”, next to “Hide system, protected files (recommended)”, uncheck the box. After which the computer will ask you if you want to apply this change, you click “Yes”. Then click “Apply”. Now you will have new files and folders on your computer (previously invisible), do not delete them under any circumstances!

Now move on to cleaning. Do everything according to the instructions.
Go to Computer => Local disk(C:) => Windows => Prefetch. IN Prefetch folder delete everything you see. Then go to Windows folder, find there Temp folder and also delete everything.
If you have Windows 7 or Vista, then the next paragraph is for you.
Go to the Local Disk (C:), go to the Users folder, find the folder with the name under which you are registered in the system. Next, find the AppData folder, and in it the Local folder. Then find the Temp folder in it, enter it and delete all the files that you see. If you have several users, then these steps need to be repeated with the folders of each user.

If you have Windows XP, then do what is described in the paragraph below.

Return to the Local Disk (C:), go to the Documents and Settings folder, then go to the folder of the user under which you are registered in the system. In it, find the Local Settings folder, and in it the Temp folder. In the latter, delete everything.
Then return to Local Settings. In it, find the Temporary Internet Files folder. Delete everything in this folder.
If you have several users, then these steps need to be repeated with the folders of each user.

Next, do a standard cleanup of drive C. Go to Computer, then right-click on the Local Disk (C:) icon, go to Properties and check if the “Shrink this drive to save space” checkbox is unchecked. If the checkbox is checked, uncheck it. Then confirm changing the settings for all files on drive C. This way the computer will slow down half as much. Then click on the Disk Cleanup button. In Windows 7, you also need to activate the Clean option system files. Then click OK and wait.

By the way, in Windows 7 you can put checkmarks next to all items, but in Windows XP not all items can be checked. In particular, do not check the box next to “Compress old files,” otherwise the computer may begin to slow down over time. After clicking the “Ok” button, the system will clear everything itself.

To prevent your computer from slowing down, you can disable some of the visual effects
Right-click Computer, select Properties, then Additional options system, activate the Advanced tab in it. Look where it says Performance - click on Settings.

In Windows 7, you need to uncheck the following items:
1. The menu fades after calling the command.
2. Animation of windows when minimized and expanded.
3. Sliding when opening lists.
4. Smooth scrolling of lists.
5.Fading or sliding effects when prompts appear.
6. Animated controls and elements inside the window.
7. Fading or sliding effects when accessing the menu.
8. Animation in the Start menu and taskbar.
After which you will need to click OK and OK again.

Check autorun. Press Win+R, then type msconfig into the search bar and press Enter. In the startup section, uncheck the boxes for downloaded programs, as well as drivers. Which ones exactly? Decide for yourself.

Advice for advanced users - disable system restore
Inexperienced users believe that system restore cures all “illnesses,” but this is not the case. A rollback usually helps in cases where you have problems with the system, drivers, etc. Therefore, you can turn it off, because it introduces serious braking into the system.

Right-click Computer, select Properties, then System Protection. Opposite the drive (C:) you will see “Enabled”. Select Local disk (C:), click Configure and put a dot
opposite Disable System Protection. If you click the delete button, you can free your computer from all restore points. Then click OK.
If you have a lot of RAM (2 GB or more) and you do not use resource-intensive applications (for example, Photoshop or 3d Max) or games, then disable the page file.

Now do the following: click Start, then right-click on Computer. In the window that appears, find “Advanced system settings”. Open another System Properties window. In it, select the Advanced tab, pay attention to the Performance section and click the Settings button.
In the Performance Options window that opens, find the Advanced tab, find the Virtual Memory inscription there and click Change.

In the window that appears Virtual memory see if the checkbox is checked
opposite the column “Automatically select the size of the paging file”. If yes, then remove it.
Opposite the column “Without a paging file, put a circle.” Then click the Set button. Windows may not like it, don't pay attention to it. If you have more than two GB of RAM, then feel free to click “Yes”. Confirm the result with the “Ok” button. After which the system will ask you to reboot, allow it to do so.

After rebooting, it’s as if your computer has been replaced! It works very fast. Now Windows is loaded completely into RAM, so the hard drive will be practically not used during its operation, that is, it will wear out less!

If you launch something resource-intensive in the future, don’t worry. If there is not enough RAM, the computer will warn you about it. Then you just need to check the box next to Automatically select the size of the paging file, and then click OK. Then the system will do everything itself.

When we have already dealt with the issue, how to clean your computer. We have almost finished cleaning it (the dust has been wiped off, the viruses have been “kicked out”). You need to do defragmentation. This is done when the computer is clean.

By the way, if you like to play games, you can buy a flash drive (its volume should be twice as large operating system computer) and use it with Ready Boost technology. You will feel the productivity increase immediately.

Another tip - don’t forget to periodically clear your browser caches. They sometimes specifically interfere with the operation of both browsers and the entire computer.

We solved the problem of computer slowdown without various optimizers, registry cleaners and other things. The computer actually started working faster. In addition, we freed up more than one gigabyte free space. It obviously won't be superfluous.
By the way, hide system and hidden files, this will make you much safer.

That's all, now your computer will still work fast!

How to speed up the computer boot/shutdown process.
