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.

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.

A driver is a hardware drive program on a computer. A hardware device can only function if we have installed the right drivers.

In Windows 10, almost all drivers will be installed automatically when we update for the first time after a fresh install. Windows will look for data on their servers during the update process, and if there is a suitable driver it will be installed automatically.

However, if there is still a device that cannot function, it means that there is a driver that is not known by Windows, then we must find and install the driver manually. This is because Windows doesn't have a suitable driver for this device on their server so it can't install it automatically during the update process.

List of drivers in Windows 10:

• Audio inputs and outputs
• Biometric devices
• Bluetooth
• Hard drive / Hard disk

• Monitors
• Network adapters (WiFi, Ethernet, LAN, WAN)
• Other devices
• Portable Devices
• Ports (COM & LPT)
• Printer
• Processors
• Security devices
• Sound, video and game controllers
• Storage controllers
• System devices
• Universal Serial Bus controllers

To find the right drivers in Windows 10 is not difficult, here is a tutorial on how to download unknown drivers from devices on your computer.

How to find the right driver in Windows 10

1. Enter the Device Manager

The first step you need to do is open the Device Manager. The trick is to right click on the Start button> select Device Manager.

2. Find a device that does not have the driver installed

In the Device Manager you will see a list of devices on the computer. Find which device has no driver installed, usually there will be an indicator in the form of a yellow exclamation mark icon.

Like the following example:

3. Right click on the device

After finding the device that you want to install the driver on, the next step is to right-click on the device.

4. Select Properties

Then select Properties.

5. Copy the device id

After entering the Properties window, click on the Details tab. Then pay attention to the Property section> select Hardware ids> copy the code that appears by right clicking then clicking Copy.

6. Open a driver search site

To find the driver based on the device we need the help of an automatic driver finder website. One pretty good site is driverpack.net, you can use this site.

7. Paste the device id on the site

Open the https://drp.su/en/catalog> paste the hardware id in the search field> enter.

8. Download and install the driver

After the results appear you will see some recommended drivers for the device. Select a driver for Windows 10 and adjust the architecture version to your computer (32-bit or 64-bit).

Then download the driver in zip format, then install it on your computer.

Repeat the above steps until all drivers are installed correctly. You can check one by one in the Device Manager to make sure all devices are working properly, this will be very useful for speeding up Windows 10.
