Nothing is more frustrating than a computer that seems to be slower than a snail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you think about buying a new PC, there are several things you can do to try to improve performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's explore some useful tips for dealing with this situation and bring back the agility of your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Restart the PC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

2. Check the use of CPU and memory<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you restart not help, the next step is to check how the CPU and memory are being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Open the task manager:<\/strong> In Windows, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Look at the processing processes:<\/strong> In the \u201cProcesses\u201d tab, see which programs are consuming the most CPU and memory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • End problem processes:<\/strong> If any processes are consuming a lot of resources, select it and click \"Finish Task\" on Windows or \"Forcing Closing\" on MacOS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    3. Release space on the hard disk<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A full hard disk can make your PC slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Delete unnecessary files:<\/strong> Take a look at the files and programs you no longer use and delete them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Uninstall programs that do not use:<\/strong> In Windows, go to \u201cadd or remove programs\u201d and remove what you don't need.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Move files for external storage:<\/strong> If you have many files, such as photos and videos, consider moving them to an external hard drive or cloud.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      4. Make sure there is malware and viruses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Malware and viruses can make your PC very slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Run a verification with your antivirus:<\/strong> Open your antivirus software and check.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Use malware removal tools:<\/strong> Tools like Malwarebytes can help find and eliminate malware that your main antivirus may have lost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        5. Update drivers and operating system<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Outdated drivers and operating systems can cause slowness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Update the drivers:<\/strong> In Windows, go to the device manager and see if there are updates available to your drivers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Update the operating system:<\/strong> Make sure there are updates for the operating system and install them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          6. Check hard disk performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          Problems with hard disk can also affect performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Check disc integrity:<\/strong> In Windows, use the CHKDSK command to search and correct errors. CHKDSK \/F<\/code> and press ENTER.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Check the health of the disc:<\/strong> Use tools like Crystaldinfo to check your hard drive's health and identify possible problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            7. Disable initialization programs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Programs that start automatically with Windows can make the system slower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Manage startup programs:<\/strong> In Windows, open the task manager and go to the \"boot\" tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Startup settings at macos:<\/strong> Go to \u201csystem preferences\u201d> \u201cusers and groups\u201d> \u201cstart items\u201d and remove unnecessary items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              8. Adjust Performance Settings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Some settings can be adjusted to improve performance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Adjustment for better performance:<\/strong> In Windows, go to \u201cSystem Settings\u201d> \u201cSystem\u201d> \u201cAbout\u201d and click \u201cAdvanced System Settings\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Disable Visual Effects:<\/strong> In MacOS, go to \u201csystem preferences\u201d> \u201caccessibility\u201d> \u201cdisplay\u201d and enable \u201creduce transparency\u201d and \u201creduce movement\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                9. Repair System Files<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                Corrupted files can make the PC slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Run the SFC:<\/strong> Open the command prompt as an administrator and type SFC \/SCANNOW<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  10. Consider a hardware update<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  If all you tried not to solve, it may be time to consider a hardware update:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  • Add more RAM:<\/strong> If your PC is constantly using all memory, adding more RAM can improve performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Replace the HD with an SSD:<\/strong> Changing a traditional hard drive for an SSD can make a big difference in speed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Update the video card:<\/strong> If you are facing slow games or apps, a new video card can help.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    Dealing with a slow PC can be frustrating, but there are many steps you can try to improve performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    From simple solutions, such as restarting the system to considering hardware updates, each step can help restore the agility of your computer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
