Some tips for improving computer performance so that it doesn't slow down anymore.
1. Uninstall unnecessary programs, applications and software
The more programs or applications installed on your device, it automatically takes up quite a bit of storage space. Moreover, there is an application process running behind the scenes that can absorb the RAM or CPU of your device. For that, you need to uninstall programs that you rarely use or don't use at all. If one day you need it again, you can reinstall it.
2. Kill the process from the application running in the background
This also greatly affects the performance of your device. The more processes that are running in the background, the slower the process performance of your laptop. To be able to see the running processes, you can go to Task Manager> Processes then look in the Bacground Processes section how many processes are running. You can turn off. But here be careful, you have to know the impact of shutting down any process you want. You could even make the device error!
3. Delete unnecessary files and junk files
The more large files you no longer need but are still stored on your laptop, then it's a good idea to delete or just backup online via Google Drive. Moreover, the files are located on Local Disk (C :). Also be diligent in deleting junk files because in the absence of junk files, laptop performance can increase slightly. Just make sure that the files you want to delete are files that are no longer in use.
4. Scan your device with Antivirus
Computer viruses can also be very dangerous for the continued performance of your laptop processor. Use a trusted antivirus, for example Smadav (only for second layer security) or use Windows Defender to root all bad files / systems / programs on your device. Perform regular scans, can be once a week, once ten days or once a month so that your laptop is safe and performance fast.
5. Use CCleaner software
Not a promotion, but seeing its function, I recommend that you use CCleaner software to speed up the performance of your laptop. The function of this application is to automatically clean unnecessary files up to your browser cache-cookies. However, you can manage what files do not need to be deleted. For that, you just use the software immediately. There is available in a free version! My experience after doing the cleaning using CCleaner, the process speed increases very fast!
Actually there are still many tips that you can apply, for example, always updating your Windows Update, restarting it if the laptop has been alive for a long time or moving non-system files from partition C: to another partition, for example D :. Hopefully, after doing these tips and tricks, your laptop's performance can increase drastically.
