Computers that run slow are annoying and frustrating – preventing you from being able to do a variety of things on your PC, such as completing your work or watching movies. However the good news is that although slow computers are a very big problem, they are incredibly simple to fix if you know how. Here’s what to do to fix your PC and make it run extremely fast forever.
The way to fix a slow computer is actually very simple – you need to fix the problems that first cause it to run slowly, and although there might seem to be many different causes of a slow system… there are just a few main issues which need fixing.
Before I show you a trick to boost the speed of your PC, you must first do some “spring cleaning” of your computer to get rid of all the possible problems that could be causing it to run slow. You should first click on Start > Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs and remove any program you don’t want. After you’ve done that, restart your system and it should run a little bit faster. You should also check to see if you have the right level of hardware for your PC – if it’s older than 3 years, you might want to upgrade.
The biggest problem with slow computers is actually something that’s very simple. Most Windows PCs don’t run slow because they have hardware issues or too many programs installed – it’s all down to a part of Windows itself called the ‘registry’. The registry is a central database which Windows relies on each day to help it store all sorts of settings and information about your system. This database is a highly important part of your PC, but is constantly being damaged and corrupted, making Windows run slower and slower.
Unfortunately, the registry is actually a big problem for Windows because it causes your computer to run extremely slowly at times. The problem is that every time you use your PC, it’s constantly opening 100’s of settings from the registry to help it run. And since there are so many of these settings open at once, Windows ends up getting confused and saving many of them in the wrong way. This causes your PC to struggle to read the settings it needs, which slows it down each day.
A corrupt registry is actually the biggest cause of problems for Windows PCs, but is one of the easiest to fix. You can use automated software programs called ‘registry cleaners’ to scan through your PC and fix all the damaged settings inside it. These tools are automated and very easy to use – and are basically like a virus scanner but for computer errors. You can download these tools from most major download sites and then let them fix your system. Depending on how many errors they can fix, they should make Windows run extremely quickly again.
You can a lot by using a ‘registry cleaner’ to fix all the damaged registry settings that are inside your PC. You can to speed up your system.
