How to make Windows 10 faster

Here's what you can do to improve the speed and performance of Windows 10.
The main focus areas that we will see below to make Windows 10 faster are: operating system modifications, software improvements, and replacements or removal of applications.

We will not bother with hardware upgrades, such as buying more RAM or replacing your HD with an SSD, as they cost more. Let's start with the most effective ways to speed up Windows 10.Windows 10

Windows 10 Speed ​​Modifications

Activate Game Mode

Windows 10 has the Game Mode feature. There is no way to keep your computer running in gaming mode, but you can turn it on by pressing Windows + G. However, you must first enable Game Mode.

To turn it on, open Settings> Games and select Game Mode. Press the switch below Game Mode.

This function is supposed to be used only for oh, but you can turn it on whenever you want a little speed boost. It is especially useful if you have a lot of background applications that are using too many system resources.

Turn off visual effects

Windows has an easy way to turn off all visual enhancements.

Go to System> Advanced Settings or search for Advanced system settings in Settings Search. In the window that will open, select Advanced from the tabs above.

In the Performance area, select Settings.
Click Adjust for Optimized Performance as shown below to turn off all visual effects.

Disabling visual effects seems to have a big impact, especially on older computers. The downside is that your system will not look so pretty. Better leave it on Smooth edges of screen fonts so you can read better.

Speed ​​up your processor

Windows has three default settings for how your processor increases in frequency. The three defaults are Balanced, High performance and Power Saver. Sometimes manufacturers also add custom designs.

The Balanced ή Power Saver είναι μια χαρά, αλλά η υψηλή απόδοση μπορεί ναι μεν να κάνει τα Windows πιο γρήγορα, αλλά η it won't take as long (if you're on a laptop). Because these programs consume more power, they are suitable for desktop computers.

You can change your settings from Power Options in Control Panel (Control Panel \ Hardware and Sound \ Power Options)

Disable programs that start on their own

When you install a program, it sometimes tries to run silently in the background. This is good for a few programs, but there is an impact on performance. With several programs starting on their own, the system crashes.

Removing programs that do not need to run as soon as the computer starts is absolutely essential for better performance.

To remove applications, do the following:

Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to enter Windows Task Manager.
Select the Start tab at the top of the screen.
From the Startup tab, you can remove most applications

Most applications do not need to run in the background unless they are pre-installed with your computer (although these are often bloatware). Unfortunately, some programs are hidden in other locations.

Check your internet connection

One of the biggest causes of slow internet speeds is not your ISP. It's your Wi-Fi connection and it might be shared such as channel congestion and overlapping Wi-Fi signals. Yes it can be difficult to get a stable signal if you live in apartment buildings.

Most routers offer two features that can improve the speed and stability of your connection. You can either use a wired connection or change the channel of your router.

A wired connection is simple: just buy an Ethernet cable and plug it in. THE of a router channel, although easy, requires a more thorough explanation.

First, use it Wi-Fi analysis tool Microsoft to determine which channels work best on your computer, and open your router settings to change the channel.

Set up Windows Update for better performance

Windows Update collects resources when running in the background. You can set it to run only at specific times. For example, when the device is not running. This means that there will be no restarts in the middle of an important job.

To set Windows Update to run only at specific times:

In the Windows Update settings, select Change active hours.
You can change the active hours at a time when the computer is turned on but not in use.2021 11 28 12 51 06

This setting only limits the number of times that Windows will automatically install updates. Windows Update will continue to download updates during these hours.

Disable Windows 10 Index Search

When you browse for a file, Windows does not scan every directory on your computer if you have indexing enabled. Indexing creates a text of the items stored on your computer. Dramatically improves file search speed.

On a modern computer, disabling the Windows 10 indexing feature will significantly slow down searches on the storage drive but there is a very small gain in performance.

On the other hand, if you have a very old computer, disabling Search Indexing will help your system perform better.

To disable Windows 10 Search Indexing:

Type Index in Windows Search and left-click on Indexing Options.

Windows 10 software enhancements

RAM drive

Of all the applications that claim to improve performance, no program does it better than one RAM drive. Creates a virtual drive using physical RAM. Users then move parts of the software to RAM, which results in faster speeds.

However, we recommend using RAM only for those who want to improve the performance of a single application. For Photoshop, for example, or video editing software.

There are many RAM Disk applications but they cost. We can mention some: AMD Radeon RAMDisk, Dataram RAMDisk Software, Gavotte RAMDisk, ImDisk Toolkit, OSFMount, SoftPerfect RAM Disk, StarWind RAM Disk and many more, including free or trial applications.

DataRAM's free RamDisk application, for example, limits the size to 1 GB. But if you have an AMD system, you will have a maximum of 4 GB.

Malware scanner

Many of the performance issues are due to malicious programs running in the background. Use a trusted malware scanner. To mention that Microsoft security application is now quite reliable and can protect you without any additional application.

Replacement or removal of applications

Speed ​​up Windows 10 by removing junk applications

Many users install software that they think they need. Most of the time, these are potentially unwanted programs (PUPs from the Potentially Unwanted Program) that slow down your computer.

Some of the worst applications include PDF readers, music and video players, browsers, and BitTorrent software. But there are also many great alternatives. The process is simple. First, uninstall the software you are using and install a better program.

Some alternatives you can check out.

Sumatran PDF Reader
VLC Video Player
Google Chrome ή Mozilla Firefox
QBittorrent
