9 Ways To Make Your Laptop Run Faster Than It Has In A Long Time

April 16th, 2010 0 Comments

You need to keep your laptop functioning well if you want to avoid frustrations. There are several reasons why a laptop may drag or be slow. The following are a few measures you can take to ensure your laptop runs faster.

1. Turn off the aero-gloss to help prevent battery drain.

Putting more load on the battery will make the machine function more slowly.

2. Get rid of junk files

Junk files can also slow down your laptop’s speed. You may need to get rid of them to gain more memory.

3. Avoid overheating

You cannot completely get rid of heat, but there are useful measures that will help to control it to safe levels. A hot laptop tends to run more slowly and may even switch itself off.

4. Uninstall unused/idle programs

The unused or idle programs may slow down your laptop especially when other applications are loading. Use the “uninstall” utility to get rid of these programs.

5. Disable automatic backup

This will stop the background backup of files while you are working. This is because you may not be able to keep your external drive connected all the time. Sometimes you may not even have it at all. Just make sure you have your own backup and defrag programs put in place.

6. Defragment your hard drive

To avoid the problem of scattered file components, which may also cause various errors, defragmenting your hard drive would be necessary. This will help put in one place all the file components and make their access faster.

7. Turn off the windows Defender

Do this if you have installed a security suit that also has spyware protection. Go to windows Defender main menu>Tools>Options>Administrator options. Uncheck “Use the Windows Defender” and save.

8. Stop the auto-start application

Go to Windows Defender main menu>Tools>Software explorer and disable all the start-up programs you may not need. The more programs are running, the slower your laptop will be.

9. Use a registry cleaner

Windows registry is the brain of your laptop, and is the most important place to keep a close watch of. Corrupt or damaged registry entries may greatly hamper your laptop’s performance and may even lead to a crash.

Your laptop should be able to work with considerable speed when you follow these simple measures.
