10 Tips to Speed Up Windows 10
10 Tips for
Speeding up Windows 10 - Windows 10 is the most efficient coded
operating system from Microsoft, but also contains features that require
a large amount of system resources. On the plus
side, the latest iterations from Windows also have some built-in
features that are very useful to improve overall efficiency.
If you feel that your computer's performance has slowed down, that may mean there is a small amount of damage to your device and most likely the culprit is bloatware, temporary files / junk files and also obsolete hardware.

The ten best tips you can do to speed up Windows 10,
including defragging, cleaning unwanted programs, disabling excessive
special effects and even upgrading hardware.
1. Turn off your PC
Many users keep running their PC for weeks at a time but Windows 10 will automatically activate sleep mode. But every process that has previously begun will continue and can accumulate over time so that it slows down your computer.
1. Turn off your PC
Many users keep running their PC for weeks at a time but Windows 10 will automatically activate sleep mode. But every process that has previously begun will continue and can accumulate over time so that it slows down your computer.
You
can fix this problem by turning off the PC every day after using it, by
clicking on the Windows button and selecting the Power button.Be sure to close all running programs and save your work before doing so. If
your PC slows down so it can't display the Windows menu, press and hold
the Power button manually until your PC is completely turned off.
2. Windows UpdateMicrosoft is constantly releasing updates for Windows 10 that are designed to fix common bugs that reduce system performance. Some of them are quite light while others make significant changes to the system to maximize efficiency.
So it is highly recommended for you to update Windows, to check for updates, open the Windows menu and type Update in the search bar and click Check for Updates.
If the main update is available, make sure you save and back up personal data before continuing. Your PC may need to restart several times to apply all available updates. If it's been a long time since the last update, please click Check for Updates again after restarting to make sure nothing else is available.
3. Check the startup applicationThe PC can become jammed by the many processes that are running. This often happens because many installers instruct Windows to run the program by itself as soon as you turn on the PC.
To check the startup program, open Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del), then click the 'Startup' tab. Look carefully at 'Startup Impact' for each program, such as 'High' because this is one great way to find applications that tend to slow down the system.
To prevent Windows from running the program by itself, right-click on the program and select 'Disable'.
4. Run Disk CleanupDisk Cleanup is a very built-in Windows utility. You can use it to delete temporary files accumulated on your computer, such as thumbnails, downloaded program files, and offline web pages.
Click the Windows menu and type 'Disk Cleanup' in the search bar to start. The utility will display the file options for deletion. Just mark the check box next to each option. Click 'Clean File System' to get started. Disk Cleanup will calculate the amount of your storage space.
This is also a great way to delete any files on your hard drive that you no longer need. An easy place to start is the 'Download' folder.
5. Remove software that is not usedMany vendors send software to their PC through third parties, and because of the large size and usually unnecessary sometimes our PC's working system slows down, this is usually referred to as 'Bloatware'. Many computer users also install software for certain purposes and never use it again, such as designing newsletters.
Redundant programs spend a lot of space on the hard drive and can reduce performance. To check the installed application, open 'Control Panel'> 'Programs'> 'Programs and Features'> 'Uninstall a Program'.
Right-click on all programs that are no longer needed and select 'Uninstall'. Windows 10 will ask permission to make changes to the system. Click 'Yes' to continue.
6. Disable special effectsWindows 10 is rather heavy on the side of special effects. By default Windows and other features are programmed to fade the screen display. Other features that are rich in resources but don't need them are translucency and animation.
To restore the PC to its basic settings, open the Windows menu and search for 'System', then open the 'Advanced Settings' tab and select 'Performance Settings'.
Under the 'Visual Effects' tab, click the radio button for 'Custom'. Here, you can delete the checkbox from the checkbox beside any visual effects you want to deactivate. Click 'Apply' to confirm changes.
7. Disable the transparency effectBesides using a lot of system resources to display features such as animation, Windows 10 also uses transparency effects for certain features such as task menus. This seemingly light and simple effect is actually quite complicated to describe, because the system needs to calculate the same field twice.
To deactivate the transparency effect, open the Windows menu and type '' Make Start, taskbar and Action Center transparent '. This will display the 'Color' setting. From here you can choose to disable transparency.
You can also change the default application mode between 'Light' and 'Dark'. This will not affect the speed of the system, but may make Desktop easier to see.

8. Increase your RAMThe overall speed of a PC can be increased by increasing the amount of virtual memory (RAM). Windows
10 requires a minimum of 4GB to run smoothly, although it doesn't take
into account resource applications that take up a lot of space like
video games.
The easiest solution for this is to install more RAM. The PC has a number of RAM slots where you can insert the chip. To determine the type of memory used by the machine, open Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del), then click 'Performance'. The system will display the memory slot used and the type of use, for example DDR4.
Installing a new RAM chip is quite simple. If you do it yourself, use an anti-static wrist strap to prevent damage to the components. Or many PC repair shops that can upgrade your hardware for a small fee.
9. Use SSDSSD (Solid State Drives) uses Flash memory, the same type can be found on a USB stick. SSDs are more expensive per GB than ordinary hard drives, but if you are willing to pay the cost, you will see a large increase in boot time, file access time and overall system response.
If you want to buy an SSD and will install it yourself, make sure to have the right size for your PC (2.5 "for portable devices, 3.5" for desktop devices). You can use free software like Clonezilla to copy content from your current hard disk to a new SSD.
10. Run System MaintenanceWindows 10 has a built-in utility that performs routine system maintenance tasks such as defragging the hard drive, scanning updates, and checking malware.These tasks usually run when your PC is inactive but if you have problems with system performance, you can run maintenance manually.
To start, open Control Panel, select 'System and Security' then select 'Security and Maintenance'. Click the arrow to expand the treatment options. From here you can choose 'Start Care'. Close and save all open files before continuing.
