1) Removing unnecessary programs from startup
During the computer boot process, all installed programs that are in the startup section of the system are automatically downloaded and launched. They do not interfere with you to a greater extent, but they “devour” some of the resources of the PC’s RAM, which contributes to the slowdown of the system. To remove unnecessary programs from startup, you need to go to System Configuration (Msconfig):
Start – Control Panel – System and Security – Administrative Tools – System Configuration
or
Start – Run – type msconfig
or
keyboard shortcut Win + R – type msconfig
Next, go to the Startup tab.
10 Ways to Speed Up Windows 7
This tab contains a complete list of downloadable programs that run when you start Windows 7. We disable those programs that are used extremely rarely, or not used at all. Here you can disable the program, which, for example, when loading the system, gave some kind of error. From this list, it is not recommended to disable the autorun of your antivirus, because it may simply not start at the next reboot.
You can also disable Autorun through the registry:
Start – Run – type regedit
or
keyboard shortcut Win+R – type regedit
Autorun is located in the following registry branches:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Attention! If you do not know what a registry is and do not know how to use it, then it is better not to go there!
2) Disabling unnecessary and unnecessary services and components to speed up the Windows system
Disabling unnecessary or rarely used services will allow you to slightly offload RAM, which will enable other applications to work faster. Before disabling any services, it is recommended to create a system restore point in case of complications (especially for inexperienced users):
Control Panel -> System -> System Protection -> Create…
After creating a restore point, go to the Services component, which is located along the path:
Start – Control Panel – Administrative Tools – Services.
