Windows 10 Slow Performance Issue - Possible Fix

     Some people who  upgraded their desktops or laptops from Windows 7 or 8 have been complaining about the slow PC performance. An OS upgrade might sound cool and would make your PC's performance better. But not all the time. So in this case, we've gathered some possible tweaks and tips to speed up your Windows 10 PC.

1. CLEAN INSTALL

     Well, this tip should actually be the last option. But assuming that you are just upgrading from Windows 7 or 8.1 to a 10 without any important files in your PC or you are able to back-up your files securely, a clean and new installation is my most recommended. 

2. CHANGE THE INITIAL AND MAXIMUM SIZES TO RECOMMENDED FILE SIZES

     This one has worked for me.

• Type in “Performance” into the search/run box
• Click “Adjust the appearence and performance of Windows”
• Open Advanced tab and click “change” button
• Uncheck “automatically manage paging file size for all drives”
• Then highlight drive your system is installed on (Example: C:)
• Select “Custom size”
• Set Initial Size and Max Size to the value recommended by Windows
• Click “Set” and OK
• Restart your PC

3. DISABLING/ENABLING START-UP 

     I've been doing this since windows 7 and it has always been effective even with Windows 10. Some of you might know this tweak already but for those who don't, this is for you.

• Type msconfig into the search/run box
• Click System Configuration
• Under System Configuration, click the Startup tab and click the Open Task Manager

• Now you can Enable/Disable programs that might be causing your computer's slow performance.
• Your computer might ask you to restart your PC. After that, you're done.

4. VISUAL EFFECTS

     Disabling some fancy effects can really help in boosting your PC's speed. You're not so stranger with this tweak anymore as we've already did the first steps in item number 2. 

• Type in "Performance" into the search box.
• Click “Adjust the appearence and performance of Windows”
• Visual Effects tab should now be opened
• Click Custom and uncheck some features that you don't need or want.

     

 Here's an example of mine.

5. DOWNGRADE BACK TO WINDOWS 8.1 OR 7 (If your Win10 is not more than a month old)

     

     Let's face it. There are some things in life that we really couldn't have. If you think your computer best works on Windows 7 or 8.1, then let it go back to where it's comfortable to work with. 

I hope these tips help most of you. Thank you.
