Windows 10: The more you use Windows, the more likely you are to have a collection of tricks and tweaks for better performance. Below we will see 3 popular techniques that did not stand the test of time and should be withdrawn.
Windows has evolved, and many of the things that were once necessary to improve the performance and reliability of the Microsoft operating system are no longer needed.
Leave disk defragmentation alone
In the early years of computing, defragmenting a hard drive was one of the most important tasks to improve performance. It was something you shouldn't forget to speed him up computer σας. Ο συνδυασμός της αργής αποθήκευσης (σε σχέση με τη σύγχρονη τεχνολογία), των αργών περιστροφών του δίσκου (ditto) και των dumb file systems απατούσε την τακτική αναδιάταξη της φυσικής τοποθέτησης των αρχείων στο δίσκο κάτι που είχε πραγματικά αισθητά αποτελέσματα.
Over the years, two remarkable things have happened in the Windows ecosystem. System storage has become much faster, especially as SSDs are beginning to replace conventional hard drives and Microsoft engineers have greatly improved automatic data management for all types of drives.
In Windows 10, the defrag.exe micro-application is now called Defragment and optimize drives. It runs automatically, as part of a scheduled task. On conventional hard drives, Defrag does what it always did, rearranging the data so that it can be recovered more efficiently. On SSDs where traditional defragging does not work, Defrag runs the Trim command, which clears storage blocks that are no longer used and can be released for new data.
(Older people will remember the MS-DOS Defrag utility, with its raw but exciting (then) Tetris appearance with the color blocks shifting to show the defragged files.)
Για να ελέγξετε την κατάσταση όλων των διαθέσιμων δίσκων, πληκτρολογήστε το "defrag" στο πλαίσιο αναζήτησης και στη συνέχεια, κάντε κλικ στην επιλογή Defragment and Optimize Drives.
The Defragment and Optimize Drives utility runs automatically. You have nothing to do anymore.
However you can run the Defrag.exe command whenever you want to check the status of each disk and confirm that everything is working properly.
Discard any registry cleaning applications
These applications once broke, but their popularity has declined in recent years.
The idea behind registry cleaning tools is simple. It starts with the belief that the Windows registry is a mess and based on this assumption the developers of each application are convinced that cleaning up any unnecessary or unused registry entries can speed up daily activities and prevent system crashes.
The idea that a piece of software can magically find useless and unwanted registry entries is charmingly strange. The idea is that you can improve performance by removing one or more registry entries that were left behind by ainstallation it is certainly absurd.
Δεν έχω δει ποτέ πραγματικά δεδομένα που αποδεικνύουν βελτιώσεις στην απόδοση. Από την άλλη, έχω δει πολλά παραδείγματα υπολογιστών που καταστράφηκαν από κάποιο επιθετικό "καθαρισμό" που διέγραψε χρήσιμα κλειδιά από το μητρώο.
Forget telemetry or learn to live with it
If you choose Windows 10 you should learn to live with telemetry. We hear a lot less about telemetry these days than we did a few years ago when many people reported Microsoft spying on Windows 10 computers.
Microsoft, like most software companies in our interconnected world, needs a steady stream of data to determine how well its producthers. With more than 900 million PCs running Windows 10, using this real-time data is essential to identify issues in the ecosystem.
All information collected as part of the telemetry process is now fully documented, and a diagnostic data viewer lets you control all data sent to Microsoft telemetry servers.
Παράλληλα, η Microsoft απλοποίησε τις ρυθμίσεις για τα δεδομένα τηλεμετρίας. Η προεπιλεγμένη ρύθμιση για όλες τις εκδόσεις των Windows 10 είναι η "Full", πράγμα που σημαίνει ότι τα δεδομένα που ανεβαίνουν συμπεριλαμβάνουν ανώνυμες λεπτομέρειες για την χρήση του λειτουργικού. Εάν ανησυχείτε για τυχόν αθέλητη διαρροή προσωπικών δεδομένων, μπορείτε να αλλάξετε την επιλογή σας στο "Basic" από τις Ρυθμίσεις - Απόρρητο - Ανατροφοδότηση & διάγνωση.
If you are really worried about her protection of privacy, choose another operating system. Windows 10 needs telemetry.
