The most effective programs to speed up your computer. Programs to speed up your computer
Today on the Internet you can find dozens of programs whose authors promise that your computer will almost “take off” after using them. In most cases, it will work the same, it’s good if you are not rewarded with a dozen advertising modules (which are embedded in the browser without your knowledge).
However, many utilities will honestly clean your disk of debris and perform disk defragmentation. And it is quite possible that if you have not performed these operations for a long time, your PC will work a little faster than before.
However, there are utilities that can actually speed up your computer somewhat by setting the optimal Windows settings and configuring your PC properly for a particular application. I have tried some of the programs. I want to tell you about them. The programs were divided into three corresponding groups.
Speeding up your computer for games
By the way, before recommending utilities to improve performance in games, I would like to make a small remark. First, you need to update the drivers for your video card. Second, configure them accordingly. This will make the effect many times greater!
Game Buster
In my humble opinion, this utility is one of the best of its kind! The authors got excited about one click in the description of the program (by the time you install and register, it will take 2-3 minutes and a dozen clicks) - but it works really quickly.
Possibilities:
- Brings Windows OS settings (the utility supports versions XP, Vista, 7, 8) to optimal for running most games. Thanks to this, they begin to work somewhat faster than before.
- Defragments folders with installed games. On the one hand, this is a useless option for this program (after all, Windows even has built-in defragmentation tools), but honestly, how many of us defragment regularly? And the utility will not forget, if, of course, you install it...
- Diagnoses the system for various vulnerabilities and non-optimal parameters. It’s quite a necessary thing; you can learn a lot of interesting things about your system...
- Game Buster allows you to save videos and screenshots. Convenient, of course, but it’s better to use the Fraps program for these purposes (it has its own super fast codec).
Conclusion: Game Buster is a necessary thing and if the speed of your games leaves much to be desired, definitely try it! In any case, I personally would start optimizing the PC with it!
Game Gain
A shareware program for setting hidden operating system settings. To do this, this utility needs to know a few things about your PC:
- its processor (for example, I have AMD in the screenshot);
- Windows OS (In the example above, version 8, but keep in mind that the utility also supports others).
If the program has correctly identified your OS and processor, then press just one button - “Optimize”. In half a minute, the result is ready!
Conclusions: after running the utility, it cannot be said that the computer began to work much faster, but in combination with other utilities it gives results. It would be wrong not to mention it in this article. By the way, this utility has a paid version, which has a super Fast mode (we could not test it).
Game Accelerator
Game Accelerator is a pretty good program for accelerating games. However, in my opinion it has not been updated for a long time. For a more stable and smooth process, the program optimizes the Windows OS and hardware. The utility does not require specific knowledge from the user, etc. - just run it, save the settings and minimize it to tray.
Advantages and features:
- Several operating modes: hyper-acceleration, cooling, setting up the game in the background;
- defragmentation of hard drives;
- "fine" tuning of DirectX;
- optimization of resolution and frame rate in the game;
- laptop energy saving mode.
Conclusion: the program has not been updated for a relatively long time, but at one time, around 10 years ago, it helped make your home PC faster. In its use it is very similar to the previous utility. By the way, it is recommended to use it in conjunction with other utilities for optimizing and cleaning Windows from junk files.
Game Fire
"Fire game" translated into great and mighty.
In fact, it is a very, very interesting program that will help make your computer faster. Includes options that are simply not available in other analogues (by the way, there are two versions of the utility: paid and free)!
Advantages:
- switching your PC to turbo mode for games in one click (super!);
- optimizing Windows and its settings for optimal performance;
- defragmentation of game folders for faster access to files;
- automatic prioritization of applications for optimal game performance, etc.
Conclusion: in general, an excellent “combine” for those who like to play. I definitely recommend testing and familiarizing yourself with it. I really liked the utility!
Programs for cleaning your hard drive from junk
I think it’s no secret that over time a large number of temporary files accumulate on the hard drive (they are also called “junk”). The fact is that when the operating system (and various applications) operate, they create files that they need at a certain point in time, then they delete them, but not always. As time goes by, there are more and more such undeleted files, the system begins to “slow down”, trying to sort out a bunch of unnecessary information.
Therefore, sometimes the system needs to be cleaned of such files. This will not only save space on your hard drive, but also speed up your computer, sometimes significantly!
And so, let's look at the top three (in my subjective opinion)...
Glary Utilities
This is simply a super-combine for cleaning and optimizing your computer! Glary Utilities allows you not only to clear your disk of temporary files, but also to clean and optimize the system registry, optimize memory, backup data, clear your website history, defragment the HDD, get system information, etc.
What’s most pleasing: the program is free, frequently updated, contains everything you need, plus it’s in Russian.
Conclusion: an excellent complex; if you regularly use it together with some utility for speeding up games (from the first point), you can achieve very good results.
Wise Disk Cleaner
This program, in my opinion, is one of the fastest for cleaning your hard drive from various and unnecessary files: cache, browsing history, temporary files, etc. Moreover, it does nothing without your knowledge - first the system scan process occurs, then it informs you by removing what, how much space can be gained, and then the unnecessary is removed from the hard drive. Very convenient!
Advantages:
- free + with Russian language support;
- there is nothing superfluous, laconic design;
- fast and meticulous work (after this it is unlikely that another utility will be able to find anything on the HDD that can be deleted);
- Supports all versions of Windows: Vista, 7, 8, 8.1.
CCleaner
Probably one of the most popular PC cleaning utilities, not only in Russia, but also abroad. The main advantage of the program is its compactness and high degree of Windows cleaning. Its functionality is not as rich as that of Glary Utilites, but in terms of removing “garbage” it can easily compete with it (and perhaps even win).
Main advantages:
- free with Russian language support;
- fast work speed;
- support for popular versions of Windows (XP, 7,8) 32 and 64 bit systems.
I think even these three utilities will be more than enough for most. By choosing any of them and regularly optimizing, you can significantly increase the speed of your PC.
Windows optimization and settings
In this subsection I would like to include programs that work in combination: i.e. check the system for optimal parameters (if they are not specified, set them), configure applications correctly, set the necessary priorities for various services, etc. In general, programs that will carry out the entire complex of optimization and settings of the OS for more productive work.
By the way, out of all the variety of such programs, I liked only two. But they do improve PC performance, sometimes significantly!
Advanced SystemCare 7
What is immediately captivating about this program is its focus on the user, i.e. you don’t have to deal with long settings, read a mountain of instructions, etc. Installed, launched, clicked analyze, then agreed with the changes that the program proposed to make - and voila, the garbage is removed, with registry errors corrected, etc. it becomes an order of magnitude faster!
Windows 7 is the most common operating system today. And this is understandable, because it works much faster compared to earlier versions of Windows. But after installing it on your computer, you may not be able to say that: it will start to slow down, think longer, and freeze. It's all about the hardware - the requirements for it are slightly higher for Windows 7.
Considering that most of the settings that are installed by default in this operating system may not be useful to the average user, you can use various methods to speed up your computer or laptop with Windows 7. Let's start getting acquainted with them.
Disabling visual effects
The first thing to do is turn off visual effects and gadgets on your desktop. They undoubtedly decorate the operating system, but at the same time, they slow down its operation. Right-click on the “Computer” shortcut and select “Properties” from the context menu.
On the tab "Additionally" in section "Performance" Click on the “Options” button.
A window will open on the tab "Visual Effects". Mark the item with a marker "Special Effects". Then leave the four checkboxes as shown in the image below, click "Apply" and "OK". If you don’t like the display of fonts, folders or anything else on the desktop, you can always check the desired box back.
Removing gadgets from the desktop is quite easy. Hover your mouse over the one you want and select “Close” from the additional menu. You can leave a couple of the most necessary ones, but the more of them on the desktop, the more RAM they take up.

Disabling system sounds
The second thing we will do is disable system sounds. Click on the speaker icon in the tray and select Sounds from the menu.
Disabling the Aero theme
Third, disable Aero Theme. This beautiful desktop design with a choice of color and transparency for the window, changing the background on the desktop, uses not only the computer’s RAM, but also the video card. Right-click on the desktop and select "Personalization".
Select any topic from the "Basic" section. It will consume less computer resources.
Disable search
Fourth is disabling the search function. It will be very useful for those who do not use search in the operating system at all. This service monitors files on your computer so that you can quickly find them later, and accordingly uses a certain amount of RAM. To disable search, right-click on the “Computer” shortcut and select “Manage” from the menu.
Now in the menu on the left, expand the section "Services and Applications" by clicking on the small black triangle and select “Services”.
A list of available services will open in the window, select “Windows Search”, and double-click on it.
In the “Startup Type” field, select “Disabled”, in the “Status” field, click “Stop”. Then “Apply” and “OK”.

Using utilities
Tenth – this point will be the last. He means using various programs to optimize computer performance. You can use the CCleaner program, which will clean the file system and registry of all kinds of garbage. Another free program is Auslogics BoostSpeed. It also finds various junk in the system and allows you to remove it. By clicking on the links, you can download the programs and read about their installation and use.
Use the methods listed above, and this will allow you to speed up your computer or laptop with the Windows 7 operating system installed.

Computer Accelerator is a program for optimizing the operation of computers and laptops running the Windows 7, 8 and 10 operating system.
The utility is completely safe to use and 100% compatible with all versions and bit levels of modern operating systems. The application can literally find and eliminate all junk files in just a couple of minutes and increase the performance of your home computer or work laptop several times.
Main advantages:
You can download the Accelerator for Computer Windows 7, 8 and 10 for free from the official website using the link below to the site immediately after the description.
Operating principle.
Immediately after launching Computer Accelerator, you will be able to conduct a global scan of the system and eliminate all errors and junk files in one click. If desired, the check can be performed in stages, switching between the tabs presented on the main work panel.
Main features of Computer Accelerator.
In the Cleanup menu, set up and run a scan for unnecessary files. After completing the search, the program will present a report on all found objects. You can delete all unnecessary temporary files, memory dump items, trash in the trash, as well as clear the cache, cookies, passwords, logs and autofill forms in any browsers installed on your PC.
In the “Registry” tab, the software will offer to optimize the corresponding section. To get started, check the types of errors that the program needs to look for: missing DLLs, installer errors, type libraries, etc. and start scanning.
The Startup window will allow you to see a list of programs that start working automatically when Windows starts. Disable applications you don't need each time you use them. This will speed up your PC startup and improve its performance.
Hidden under the “Tools” button are several useful functions for cleaning your PC. For example, here you can instruct the software to find duplicates and large objects, and then delete them. This will free up space on your hard drive to save really useful files. Also in the “Tools” tab you can find out detailed information about the system and remove all unnecessary programs.
Automatic PC status checks - saving your time.
Do you constantly forget to remove unnecessary junk from your PC? Use the “Scheduler” function built into the program. By going to this menu, you can enable automatic system checks for junk files and registry errors. Set up the frequency of scans, mark the types of data that need to be eliminated and be sure that “Computer Accelerator” will do the job perfectly.
You can download the Computer Accelerator with a built-in key for free using the official link to the site below, presented after the characteristics.
It's no secret that over time, any, even the most powerful, system gradually becomes clogged. Hundreds of temporary files accumulate on your hard drive, which cannot always be deleted automatically. For example, in the browser cache, in the trash, etc. All this garbage directly affects the performance of the computer, slows down its operation, and can subsequently lead to various failures, operational errors, etc. That is why it is so important to carry out an “audit” on the PC and remove unnecessary files. Using a computer cleaning program, you can easily and effectively remove system junk and free up gigabytes of disk space! You'll immediately notice the changes: your laptop will run faster and those annoying freezes will disappear.

Fixing registry errors
Optimizing the registry is the second step to fast and reliable computer operation. Highly recommended for any system older than 6 months.
If programs are uninstalled incorrectly, the registry becomes cluttered with unnecessary information. Because of this, loading time, searching, etc. increases. Timely cleaning of the registry is another measure that will optimize the performance of Windows.
The Computer Accelerator program quickly finds existing registry errors and allows you to fix them in just one click. Among others, remnants of old keys, incorrect extensions, missing DLLs, etc. are removed.
Forget about routine manual registry cleaning! You can automatically free it from unnecessary files, without having to think about what can be deleted and what cannot. The previous speed of operations will return, and working on a PC will become much more enjoyable.
Startup management
Thanks to startup optimization, Windows will boot much faster, and you will forget about any computer freezes!
Do you know how many programs and applications are activated when the operating system starts? The startup may contain social network agents, various messengers, and auxiliary utilities. The question is, do you need to run them every time?
Sometimes this number can reach several dozen, which inevitably leads to a decrease in laptop performance. The computer cleaning program makes it possible to correctly configure the autorun of programs directly in the interface window.
All automatic loading elements will be clearly presented in front of you, which can be removed or new ones added. This way you can significantly increase the boot speed of the system itself and the amount of RAM.
What problems does Computer Accelerator solve?
Windows boots slowly
Constant system freezes
Slow launch of programs
Constant system errors
