Make Your Windows PC Run Faster (Easy Fixes)

If your PC feels slow, freezing, or lagging — you’re not alone.
Here are the fastest and safest ways to speed up Windows immediately.

1. Disable Startup Apps

Startup apps slow your boot time.

Go to:
Task Manager → Startup Apps → Disable unnecessary apps

Disable apps such as:

  • Spotify
  • OneDrive
  • Discord
  • Zoom
  • Adobe tools

2. Clear Temporary Files

Windows stores lots of junk files.

Steps:

  1. Press Windows + R
  2. Type temp → delete files
  3. Type %temp% → delete files
  4. Type prefetch → delete files

This frees up storage and improves speed.

3. Update Windows

Updates fix bugs and optimize performance.

Settings → Windows Update → Check for updates

4. Turn Off Background Apps

Go to:
Settings → Apps → Installed Apps → Background Permissions → Never

Turn off apps you don’t use daily.

5. Optimize Storage

Enable Storage Sense:
Settings → System → Storage → Storage Sense

It removes junk automatically.

6. Check for Malware

Use Windows Security:
Windows Security → Virus & Threat Protection → Quick Scan

Malware = slow performance.

Still Slow?

Your PC might need:

  • More RAM
  • SSD upgrade
