Basic Nine Tips to Speed up Windows 7 Performance
The
new Microsoft operating system - Windows 7 is awarded with the word
"impressive" by the masses, but it still gets complaints from early
adopters on the web. Having spent couples of days in forums and
communities full of discussion about Windows 7, I find that Windows 7
can easily slow down due to various issues just as its predecessors,
Windows XP or Vista.
Well, there is no rose without a thorn. For
enjoying the non-compromised features of Windows 7 and keeping its
freshness as long as possible, you can take the following top 9 tips to
speed up Windows 7 performance, and save your time, money as well as get
full control of your PC!
Tip 2 to speed up Windows 7 performance: Boost Windows 7 Boot Speed The more programs run automatically when you start your computer, the slower your PC boot. Often when you install a program, it will ask you whether it should start as soon as you boot up your computer, but some malicious programs simply add themselves to that auto-start folder without your permission.
Open Run, input “msconfig”, then select “Boot”, you will see a list of programs in that auto-start folder. You can manage them there.
Tip 3 to speed up Windows 7 performance: Defrag Hard Disk Your hard drive can be full of fragmentation with time, which dramatically slows down Windows running. Microsoft OS including Windows 7 provides the built-in Disk Defragmenter tool, which lets you remove empty patches, pack pieces of files together, and thus occupy contiguous storage locations, increase the speed of reading and writing files to/from hard disk. Frequency: Disk defragmentation should be performed every two or three months, because frequent disk defragmentation can decrease the span of hard disk.
Tip 4 to speed up Windows 7 performance: Scan & Repair Registry Registry is the central database of Windows which stores the necessary information and settings for software and hardware running smoothly. Even you have uninstalled a program, respective information is saved there. Windows registry can be full of errors that cause the main system crashes, error messages, freezes and slowdown. You will be amazed when you view how many errors exist in your registry.
Microsoft experts never suggest people to manually change their registry, since any improper operation to registry can cause serious damage. Instead of taking that risk, using a third-party safe registry cleaner/optimizer might be better. Here is a free registry cleaner review for your reference.
Tip 5 to speed up Windows 7 performance: Defragment Windows 7 Registry Just like hard drive needs defrag, registry needs too. Registry defrag is to remove fragmentations and creates a linear registry, which can speed up registry access and program response. Some defrag programs also compact your registry to a smaller size, thus it can take up less memory and make room for other programs running fast. There is a free registry defrag software which can safely defrag registry in two minutes for most Windows systems.
Tip 6 to speed up Windows 7 performance: Uninstall Unused Programs Uninstalling programs that you seldom use is better than just removing them from your hard drive., because simple deletion can cause Windows errors. Some programs have the built-in uninstall app while others don't. Then you can go to the control panel and uninstall them. For those malicious programs that don’t allow you to uninstall, you can make use of a third-party uninstall manager (known as built in Wondershare Registry Optimizer) to get rid of them. Note: cleanup registry is necessary after the uninstallation. Detail is given in the following part.
Tip 7 to speed up Windows 7 performance: Update Anti-Spyware Program Use an antivirus program to protect your computer from the attacks of spyware, virus, trojan and other malware, and regularly update the program. If your spyware removal or anti-virus software offers an automatic update option, then it's good. If not, you'd better update them manually.
Since there are many types and variations of viruses, spyware that can infect your computer and revise your system settings, regular update to ensure that you have the latest threat signatures and regular scan to secure your computer.
By the way, Wondershare Spyware Removal is now free for six months, that you can get the free registration code as soon as you submit your email address. With this registration code you can update & get technical support without limitation for 6 months, after that you can renew it with 50% off.
Tip 8 to speed up Windows 7 performance: Boost Performance by Adjusting Registry Parameters This step is to change registry parameters designed to boost Windows 7 system performance, such as automatically end hung applications, optimize internet connection, speed up loading web pages, speed up Windows shutdown, etc.
There are many online tips talking about how to manually revise registry settings for better system performance, but manual revisement fits more for computer expert than for beginners. Beginners has better use a system optimizing utility (known as built in Wondershare Registry Optimizer) to have this done in single 1 mouse click.
Tip 9 to speed up Windows 7 performance: Turn off Part of Win7 Graphics Windows 7 has been added many eye candy visual effects, which are recourse hog, especially when, what you expect from Windows 7 is more performance. So you can disable some unwanted visual effects of Windows 7 to enjoy the maxim of Windows 7 speed and performance.
To disable unwanted visual effects: Right click on "Computer" and select "Properties" from the context menu, click "Advanced System Settings", then under "Performance" click "Settings". Choose the "Custom:" option. Then you can select which effects to keep and which to disable. Actually you are recommended to untick all the options, and select only the last four options to apply.
Tip 1 to speed up Windows 7 performance:
Cleanup Hard Disk Windows temporary files, internet cache, cookies,
invalid shortcuts and unused files and programs can take up much room on
your hard disks. Even you have just upgraded to Windows 7, those junk
files can soon accumulate and eat up hard disk space. So regular disk
cleanup should be part of your daily work to keep Windows 7 running
fast.
Windows 7, as its predecessors, has a built-in Disk Cleanup
program, you can find it in Start>Accessaries>System
Tools>Disk Cleanup. But this built-in tool takes quite a long time to
scan your hard disk and is able to clean very limited junk files. So a
third-party disk cleaner is recommended to use to save your time and
perform a more complete disk cleaning job.Tip 2 to speed up Windows 7 performance: Boost Windows 7 Boot Speed The more programs run automatically when you start your computer, the slower your PC boot.
