Power Mode

When you start a Windows PC/Laptop you get a feature called Power Mode.

There are 3 (Efficiency/Balance/Performance) or more power modes in a laptop.

Keep it on Performance Mode, especially when you’ve plugged your charger Otherwise, you can keep it on Balanced Mode.

Else, keep the mode on Performance Mode to get the peak performance.

Most of the times you’ve to wait for apps to open, because your system is on Balanced/Non performance mode where the battery is extended. So keep it on Performance mode & you’ll see the difference.

Startup Program

If your system is becoming slow while booting up, then check the startup programs and You can delete the ones you don’t need.(if you want)

When installing a new software, it often goes into the startup program & keeps running in the background and it creates a difference in the startup as well as performance.

So check your Startup programs & only keep the ones you want.

Files ( file manager)

Nowadays people have 1TB hard disks, & your old files keep stacking which creates a difference in performance.

just like Startup programs, check your files as well and remove your unnecessary files.

Storage Sense

It’s a feature that gives you a dashboard, showing you the old files & it’s details.

And according to your preference, you can delete some files & get more storage space.

Defrag Your Storage

Defrag your storage between 3–6 months as, even after deleting/saving the files on the hard drive.

The files are still present even if you might not see them, so defragmentation is very important.

So that all files are in one place, while read/write/accessing them. And your PC will get faster.

Windows update

Generally in smartphones we know about updates instantly but in Windows It’s not that simple, we install the software after getting 2–3 updates and we’re usually stuck on the older software version.

Please don’t do that, do update to the latest version ASAP, it’s really important.

If you check now, you might see 20–30 programs with pending updates

Windows Defender

Nowadays, you don’t need to use Antivirus/Anti malware/3rd Party apps.

It comes built in it If you have a Windows Laptop And don’t install other 3rd party Antivirus apps As they’ll slow down the performance of your Windows laptop/PC.

Windows Defender is more than enough for antivirus, anti malware etc.

Resource Monitor

we all use Google Chrome a lot & it is hungry for power resources.

You might’ve opened only 1 tab, but if you check the Resource Monitor, you’ll see that Google Chrome eats a lot of resources from your system’s CPU & RAM.

So keep a control on it or it’s better to switch to another browser.

Many times there are hardware limitations as well, if you go to Resource Monitor & if your RAM utilization is 70–90%.

Then it’s time to upgrade your RAM. If it’s 8GB then upgrade to 12/16GB, if it’s 4GB upgrade to 8GB or more.

For a normal user , I’d say at least 8GB RAM should be there as 4GB is not enough nowadays

Windows Customization

Many users customize their desktop with live wallpapers just like smartphones. But it has negative effects on the Resource. So keep your setup clean & minimal to get more performance.

If you aren’t using a program, you can uninstall them, they affect your PC’s performance.

Restart Your PC

Many times we don’t shut down our PCs/laptops & we keep using it without restarting it.

Keep a cycle, (i.e In 24 hours you’d turn it on/off). Don’t keep it on forever and most times people just close the lid while the system keeps running & it makes a difference.

So restart & shut down is very important.

These were very simple tips/tricks that people don’t do, So that you can use & get the most performance out of your machine.
