How to Fast Laptop: A Practical Guide by PC Servicing BD

Is your laptop feeling sluggish lately? Don’t worry; you’re not alone! Over time, laptops tend to accumulate digital dust, slowing down their performance. But fear not! In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through practical steps to turbocharge your laptop and make it feel brand new. Whether you’re a student, a professional, or a casual user, these tips will help you optimize your laptop’s speed and efficiency.

1. Check Startup Programs

Explanation: When you power up your laptop, it loads various programs in the background. Some of these are essential, while others are unnecessary. By managing startup programs, you can significantly improve boot time and overall system performance.

Practical Steps:

  1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
  2. Navigate to the “Startup” tab.
  3. Review the list of programs and disable any that you don’t need during startup.
  4. Right-click on a program and select “Disable.”

Example: In the screenshot below, we’ve disabled Dropbox and Spotify startup entries to speed up boot time: !Startup Programs

Additional Tip: Consider using third-party tools like CCleaner to manage startup programs more efficiently.

2. Adjust Restart Settings

Explanation: After a restart or system update, Windows reopens all previously running apps. This can slow down the boot process. Adjusting restart settings can help prevent this.

Practical Steps:

  1. Open Settings (Windows key + I).
  2. Go to “Accounts” > “Sign-In Options.”
  3. Turn off the slider for “Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart.”

Example: Here’s where you can turn off the automatic reopening of apps after a restart: !Sign-In Options

Additional Tip: Restart your laptop periodically to keep it running smoothly.

3. Remove Bloatware and Unused Apps

Explanation: Bloatware (preinstalled software) and rarely used applications consume system resources. Removing them frees up space and improves performance.

Practical Steps:

  1. Open the Start menu.
  2. Right-click on Windows 10 Store apps and select “Uninstall.”
  3. Regularly review your installed apps and remove anything you no longer use.

Example: “I uninstalled these unnecessary apps to free up space:” !Uninstall Apps

Additional Tip: Organize your files into folders for better management.

4. Update Windows, Drivers, and Apps

Explanation: Regular updates fix security issues, enhance performance, and optimize compatibility.

Practical Steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
  2. Check for updates and install them.
  3. Update drivers (especially graphics and chipset drivers).
  4. Keep your applications up to date.

Example: Make sure your laptop is up to date by checking for Windows updates: !Windows Update

Additional Tip: Use tools like Driver Booster to update drivers automatically.

5. Optimize Storage

Explanation: Cluttered storage affects performance. Clean up unnecessary files and optimize storage.

Practical Steps:

  1. Use Disk Cleanup (search for it in the Start menu).
  2. Delete temporary files, old downloads, and unused applications.
  3. Consider using ReadyBoost (if your laptop supports it) to speed up data access.

Example: Here’s how to clean up unnecessary files using Disk Cleanup: !Disk Cleanup

Additional Tip: Regularly organize your files into folders for better management.

6. Monitor Resource Usage

Explanation: Resource-hungry processes can slow down your laptop. Monitor them to identify and manage performance bottlenecks.

Practical Steps:

  1. Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
  2. Check the “Processes” tab for CPU, memory, and disk usage.
  3. End unnecessary processes.

Example: Keep an eye on resource-hungry processes in Task Manager: !Task Manager

Additional Tip: Consider using third-party tools like Process Explorer for more detailed insights.

7. Adjust Power Options

Explanation: Power settings impact performance. Choose the right balance between performance and energy efficiency.

Practical Steps:

  1. Right-click on the battery icon in the system tray.
  2. Select “Power Options.”
  3. Choose “High performance” or customize power plans.

Example: Choose the right power plan for your needs:
