How to reduce system boot time. Speeding up your computer: how to increase PC performance. Stop using unnecessary Windows services

User question

Hello.

Tell me why my Windows 7 works fine after installation, everything opens and loads quickly. After 2-3 weeks, it’s as if they’ve replaced it: the computer starts to take a long time to load, the conductor is reluctant to respond, all the work is somehow slow.

Is it possible to optimize and speed up the system, without systematically reinstalling it, so that it works quickly, like after reinstalling the system?

Good day.

Quite typical behavior of Windows, and seven itself is not to blame here; the same would happen, for example, with ten...

The fact is that over time Windows accumulates a large number of"garbage" (temporary files, cache, etc.), new programs register themselves in startup, all sorts of gadgets appear, etc. - all this begins to "exist" RAM, load the processor and disk subsystem, which ultimately affects performance.

In this article I will give some of the most important recommendations to optimize and speed up the system. (by the way, I don’t consider upgrade options, for example, in the form of purchasing additional RAM or SSD drives in the article).

9 steps to fix slowdowns and speed up Windows 7

Description of the problem:

As I said above, over time, as programs are installed, some of them register themselves in Windows startup and start every time you turn on the computer. Everything would be fine, but some of these programs are quite resource-demanding and affect the PC boot speed, sometimes significantly.

I would like to pay special attention to uTorrent. If you have a lot of torrents distributed and the program is in startup mode, then Windows may take tens of seconds longer to load!

Solution:

Logical and simple - you need to open the startup settings and remove from it everything unnecessary and unnecessary. In general, in my opinion, in startup you only need those programs that you use absolutely every time you turn on the computer.

To view startup in Windows 7, press the key combination WIN+R, then enter the msconfig command and press Enter (example below).

By the way, check the car loading Windows and remove unnecessary programs from your computer, special utilities can help. One of these is CCleaner (example in the screenshot below). Quite convenient: to view the startup list in CCleaner, just open the menu.

Services: which ones can be disabled

Description of the problem:

By default, Windows includes quite a lot of services that take up RAM and in one way or another affect performance (I should note that disabling “unnecessary” services is especially noticeable on low-power PCs with a small amount of RAM).

For example, if you don't have fax- why do you need this running service, or print manager - if there is no printer?

Solution:

The optimization in this step is to disable those services that are not needed specifically on your PC. To disable a service, you need to open their list. To do this, press the keyboard shortcut WIN+R, enter services.msc, press OK.

Next, select a service from the list: its description appears on the left. To disable a service, open it by double-clicking the left mouse button (in my example I chose Update centre ).

Then in the "Startup type" column, select the "Disabled" option, and then click the "Stop" button. This will stop the service and it will no longer start.

Important!

Do not disable all services; some of them are needed for normal operation of the system. In any case, before making changes, read the description of the service to see if the meaning is clear. In general, (backup) - if something happens, calmly roll back...

Which services “can” be disabled in Windows 7:

Windows CardSpace;

Windows Search;

Offline files;

Network Access Protection Agent;

Adaptive brightness control;

Windows Backup;

IP Ancillary Service;

Secondary login;

Grouping of network participants;

Automatic remote access connection manager;

Remote access connection manager (if there is no VPN);

Network Member Identity Manager;

Performance logs and alerts;

Secure storage;

Setting up a remote desktop server;

Smart Card Removal Policy;

Shadow Copy Software Provider (Microsoft);

Homegroup listener;

Windows Event Collector;

Network login;

Tablet PC input service;

Download service Windows images(WIA) (if there is no scanner or camera);

Service Windows scheduler Media Center;

Smart card;

Volume shadow copy;

Diagnostic system unit;

Diagnostic Service Node;

Fax machine;

Performance counter library host;

Security Center;

Center Windows updates(I recommend disabling it for a while. And carry out the update manually, because in auto mode this service often creates a high load, which slows down the PC).

Cleaning junk from the system

Description of the problem:

No matter how carefully you use your Windows, it still accumulates a large amount of garbage over time: old tails in the registry from a long time ago remote programs, temporary files left over from installing some software, browser cache, etc. All these files, as they accumulate, begin to affect the performance of the system as a whole.

Sometimes, the user accumulates several tens of gigabytes of such “garbage”!

Solution:

In order not to repeat myself here and not describe how and what, I recommend that you read my instructions (the link is given below).

Unnecessary visual effects

Description of the problem:

Windows 7, compared to Windows XP, has become more beautiful: effects, shadows, Aero, etc. But all this affects the performance of the computer (very noticeable on weak machines).

The same problem can be attributed gadgets(small windows on the desktop that can tell you about the weather, exchange rates, etc.). They appeared just in Windows 7 - and everyone began to actively use them. Meanwhile, they are quite demanding on the system...

Solution:

About gadgets- just close them, and they will disappear from the desktop (they will stop consuming your resources). It is also convenient to find out the same weather and exchange rates in the browser...

Regarding visual effects- then to configure them, open at:

Control Panel\System and Security\System

In the "Advanced" tab, open the performance parameters (see screenshot below).

In the tab "Visual effects" uncheck those effects that you do not need. To maximize system acceleration, set the slider to the “Ensure the best performance” position. Next, save the settings.

The appearance may deteriorate somewhat, but the system will become much more responsive.

Drivers: are they okay?

Description of the problem:

Driver - different drivers! A lot depends on the driver version. For example, those drivers that are installed into the system along with Windows do not always work optimally (for example, a network card may not work to its full potential (at a reduced speed), the driver for a video card cannot be configured at all, etc.).

In addition, drivers for some equipment may not be installed on your system at all (as in the screenshot below). By the way, to see which equipment does not have a driver, open it (key combination Win+R, then enter the command devmgmt.msc).

There are no drivers for: video card, network controller, Ethernet controller, etc.

Solution:

The best option: download drivers from the website of your computer/laptop manufacturer. You can also use the driver disk that came with the PC when you purchased it (if you still have it 👌). If you don't know your equipment, you can use .
You can use it. I have several articles dedicated to them on my website, one of the links is in front of you...
If possible: I recommend checking several driver versions at once (especially for the video card). It often happens that more old driver works better than new.

Power settings

Description of the problem:

This problem is typical for laptops, netbooks and other compact gadgets that run on battery power.

The fact is that there are several operating modes: economical (when, at the expense of performance, the laptop saves energy for longer battery life), normal, and high performance.

And by default, most often it is normal (balanced), or economical...

Solution:

Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options

Selecting a power plan // Windows 7

For detailed power settings: first click the “Set up power plan” link (opposite the selected power mode), then at the bottom of the screen open the “Change additional power settings” link. Then you can open the necessary tabs and configure each parameter individually.

For example, you often need to configure the work hard drive(prevent it from stopping), or adjust the brightness of the monitor (remove adaptability), etc.

In addition, power supply parameters can be set in special utilities. For example, these are found on Sony laptops, Acer, Lenovo, etc.

As a rule, you can open their settings through the assistant in the tray, next to the clock (screen below). If there is nothing like this in the tray, check the Windows Control Panel.

File indexing

Description of the problem:

By default, Windows 7 enables indexing of file contents for faster searching (for example, enter some phrase from text file, and Windows finds it on disk for you. Comfortable!).

But I noticed that this function is used by only 10% of users. So if you don’t need it, but eats up a lot of disk subsystem resources, maybe you should disable it?

Solution:

To do this, go to "My Computer", select the drive and open its properties.

Disk defragmentation (we are talking only about HDD)

Description of the problem:

Defragmentation is the process of redistributing files on a disk so that they are located in contiguous areas (so that they can be read from disk more quickly).

If done regularly defragmentation of hard disk (HDD) - then the speed of reading and writing files will be slightly higher (especially subject to fragmentation file system FAT 32). You can find out more about defragmentation at.

Solution:

Do I need to turn off my PC if there is sleep mode?

Description of the problem:

For some reason, many users do not use sleep mode, hibernation, and other types of switching a computer/laptop to a low-power mode. They turn off the computer completely even when they are going to turn it on again in an hour or two...

Meanwhile, sleep mode allows you to quickly restore your work, literally in 1-2 seconds. Thanks to this, you can save a lot of time.

Solution:

Just press the START button, then select “Sleep” from the shutdown options (as in the screenshot below). If you do not have this option, there is most likely a problem with the drivers (I wrote about this above).

Note: In the power settings in the Windows Control Panel, you can configure after what time the computer goes into sleep mode (example below).

These modest tips will help make your Windows 7 faster and more responsive (tested more than once on my PCs 👌).

I've already told you several times how to speed up Windows startup , but all my advice boiled down to startup optimization programs when the operating system starts.

Today I want to declassify another way to speed up this process. By the way, you don’t need to install anything - we’ll quickly launch Windows using the utility built into the system.

The description of accelerating the start of the system will be very short, because there is nothing complicated in this procedure.

A little theory. 99% of users today have multi-core processors installed in their computers.

But for some unknown reason, the “stupid” operating room Windows system doesn't know about it. It does not use all these cores at startup!

Content:

Speed up Windows startup

Let's force Windows to use all processor cores during its startup process. This will split it into several threads and speed it up a little.

So, click on the “Start” button in the taskbar, go to “All Programs” - “Accessories” - “Run” and enter in the field...

Another little bit of system startup acceleration

You can also speed up the startup of Windows a little by following the path: “Start” button on the taskbar - “Control Panel” - “System” - “Advanced system settings” - “Start and Recovery” (Settings) ...

...and uncheck "Display a list of operating systems:" ...

Such a quick launch of Windows in 2 clicks. Until new useful ones computer programs And .

Every Windows user I thought that when I turn on the computer, the system boots slowly. The reason can be a variety of processes: aging OS, cluttered disk or bad drivers. But each individual reason can be dealt with in a few clicks.

How to speed up Windows 10 system boot - step-by-step instructions with screenshots

Optimization consists of many ways to fix errors, clean up garbage, disable unnecessary services and much more. Moreover, professionals recommend cleaning your PC at least once a month. It is during this period that enough garbage accumulates in Windows for system performance to begin to decline.

The author tries to clean the system of garbage and unnecessary files every two weeks, defragment the disk every three weeks, update drivers thoroughly and disable services immediately after installing the OS. At the same time, Windows is reinstalled for itself no more than once a year.

If your computer takes a long time to boot or there is a general slowdown, the first thing you need to do is check Windows for viruses. It is best to do this with two or three antivirus programs from different manufacturers.

Disk Cleanup and Junk Removal

Garbage refers to some application cache files, program logs, various kinds of reports, temporary browser and system data, the contents of the recycle bin, and much more. When Windows boots, it reads these files, determines their need, and this takes resources and time. That is why it is recommended to regularly clean the system.

In the search, enter “Control Panel” and select the best result. In the search, enter “Control Panel” and select the best result
Open the “System and Security” category.
Among the categories, select “System and Security”
In the “Administration” applet, click on the “Free up disk space” link.
In the “Administration” column, click on the “Free up disk space” link
Next, select drive C, click OK, and wait for the wizard to generate a list of files to delete.
1
In the dialog box, check the boxes next to the data groups that need to be deleted and click OK. In the program window, check the boxes next to the data groups that need to be deleted and click OK
We wait until the program finishes working and restart the computer.

Deleting files can take a long time. In the author's memory, there was a case when the disk was cleared for two and a half hours, due to incorrect Windows installations on top of another version. You should definitely wait until all files are deleted. Forcibly interrupting the process is fraught with disk errors, and they are much more difficult to cure than a little garbage.

Setting up startup or removing unnecessary programs from it

“Startup” is the process of starting programs when the operating system starts without user intervention. In the case when there are too many programs in the automatic launch environment that do not carry practical benefit and they can be started in manual mode, it is advisable to clear it.

On subsequent Windows startups, the disabled processes will not start automatically.

System Quick Start Feature

Windows 10 also has a setting quick launch, which allows you to create less backup information at startup, thereby reducing the load on the system core.

Open the “Control Panel”, as shown above, go to the “Hardware and Sound” applet.
Open the “Control Panel”, go to the “Hardware and Sound” applet
Next, in the “Power Options” group, click on “Customize the functions of the power buttons.”
In the “Power Options” group, click on “Customize the functions of the power buttons”

Next, click on “Change settings that are currently unavailable”
And check the box next to “Enable fast startup” and click “Save changes”.
Check the box next to “Enable fast startup” and click “Save changes”

If you have the Hibernation service disabled, the Quick Startup feature will not be available.

If you have the Hibernation service disabled, the Quick Startup feature will not be available.

Disk Defragmenter

Fragmentation is a recording process that Windows uses when saving information. In this case, the file can be split into parts for a more compact location on the hard drive. However, when trying to read it, the operating system must first “glue” the data together, and only then use it. This takes time, which means you need to use the reverse process - defragmentation.

Driver Update

Drivers are important components of the operating system. These software products ensure stable operation of the “internals” of the computer, communication between the system and devices. This is why it is important that drivers are up to date and not basic. Especially for the operation and loading of the system, AHCI controller drivers are needed, which are responsible for the speed of data exchange between hard drive and the rest of the computer.

In the search, enter “Device Manager” and select the best match. In the search, enter “Device Manager” and select the best match
Open the “IDE Controllers” tab, click right click on the device whose name contains AHCI and select “Update driver”.
Right-click on the device and select “Update Driver”
Next, click on “Automatic search” and wait for the program to install the best software.
Click on “Automatic search” and wait for the program to install the best software
Reboot the computer.

Disabling unnecessary services

Services are background processes that keep the operating system running. If drivers allow devices to work, services set the vector for this work. However, Windows has a lot of services and not all of them are “useful”. For example, the “Fax” or “Remote Registry” service, they are simply not needed by ordinary users.

List of services that can be safely disabled for the operating system:

"Fax machine";
NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Driver Service (for NVidia graphics cards if you are not using 3D stereo imaging);
"Service public access to Net.Tcp ports";
"Working folders";
"AllJoyn Router Service";
"Application Identity";
"BitLocker Drive Encryption Service";
"Bluetooth Help" (if you don't use Bluetooth);
“Client License Service” (ClipSVC, after disabling, Windows 10 Store applications may not work properly);
"Computer Browser";
Dmwappushservice;
Geographic Location Service;
"Guest Shutdown Service (Hyper-V)";
"Pulse Service (Hyper-V)";
"Session service virtual machines Hyper-V";
"Hyper-V Time Synchronization Service";
"Data Exchange Service (Hyper-V)";
“Hyper-V Remote Desktop Virtualization Service”;
"Sensor Monitoring Service";
"Sensor Data Service";
"Sensor Service";
“Functionality for connected users and telemetry” (this is one of the options to disable Windows 10 “tracking” of the user);
“Internet Sharing (ICS)” (provided that you do not use Internet sharing functions, for example, to distribute Wi-Fi from a laptop);
"Xbox Live Network Service";
Superfetch (assuming you are using an SSD);
"Print Manager" (if you don't use printing features, including Windows 10's built-in printing to PDF files);
"Windows Biometric Service";
"Remote registry";
"Telephony";
"Telephone communications";
"Secondary login" (assuming you are not using it).

It's very easy to speed up Windows 10 boot time. It is enough to clean your computer of debris and keep the drivers up to date.

Most often, over time, the operating system begins to work slowly. This is due to the fact that not all users take good care of their PCs. From time to time it is necessary to carry out preventive maintenance not only of “computer hardware”, but also to clear the memory. Let's figure out how to speed up Windows 7 on our own.

How to speed up Windows 7: Unload the processor using hardware acceleration

Hardware acceleration is a feature in which certain functions are redistributed from the main processor to Hardware. Most often, part of the work is transferred from the process to the video card. It is only important that this node is powerful enough to cope with the load. We'll tell you how to speed up a Windows 7 computer using a video card:

Right-click on any free space on your desktop. Select "Screen Resolution" from the menu.
A window will open in front of you that allows you to customize the display of objects on the screen as you wish. Under the first two lines, find the “Advanced options” link, click on it.
Open the “Diagnostics” tab, select “Change settings”. In some cases, this button may not be active. This means that hardware acceleration is already activated, and the developers have decided to protect the settings from users.
If this button is available to you, then in the next window you will see a slider that adjusts hardware acceleration. Move it to the "Full" position. Confirm your action with the “Ok” button.

Before using this instruction, you should change account user to one that has administrator rights.

Changing visual options

The first part of solving the problem of how to speed up loading Windows 7 is to change the design of the pages on your PC. If you have a built-in video card, then hardware acceleration will not remove the load from the processor. In this case, it is necessary to change the visual support parameters of the operating system. It will not be as stylish, but at the same time you will notice how quickly the windows will respond to your commands. This method should be used by all users of netbooks and office PCs.

To change visualization parameters, you need to follow the instructions:

Right-click on the Computer icon on your desktop. Select Properties.
A window of one of the “Control Panel” sections will open in front of you. The available options will be listed on the left side. From this list you need to select “Advanced system settings”.
A small window will appear in front of you in which you need to open the “Advanced” tab. It is divided into several sections. You need to choose the one labeled “Performance” and click on the “Options” button.
The performance settings window has three tabs. Select the one titled “Visuals”.
You will see several configuration options in front of you; place a checkmark next to the line “Ensure the best performance.” In this case, all unnecessary effects will be removed. Confirm your desire using the “Apply” button.

How to return effects correctly

You will immediately notice the changes; the window design will resemble Windows 95. If you are not satisfied with this type of PC design, then you need to move the marker to the “Special effects” line and select from the list options that provide traditional look Windows 7:

enable composite desktop mode;
use display styles for icons and buttons;
display thumbnails instead of icons;
smooth out irregularities in screen fonts.

Confirm your actions again with the “Apply” button for the changes to take effect. Using only a portion of the effects allows you to maintain computer performance and style. appearance window decoration.

How to speed up Windows 7 by optimizing your hard drive

After you have worked with the image output parameters, you need to start cleaning up the hard drive space. This action will help solve several problems at once, including how to speed up the Internet in Windows 7. Often the computer runs slow due to the hard drive being overloaded with unnecessary information, temporary files and other unnecessary data. Carrying out preventive maintenance will allow you to significantly optimize work processes on your PC.

Cleaning the hard drive

Temporary files appear on the PC when downloading programs, using browsers and when working with text editors. You can delete unnecessary files manually or using special utilities. In this section, we will provide instructions for cleaning the disk, which does not require you to download additional programs and other actions:

Go to the Start menu, in the column on the right, find the line “ ” and click on it.
In the top right corner, select the "Category" section display option.
From the list displayed in the window, select the “Uninstall programs” section.
View the list of utilities installed on your PC. Select and delete those that you have not used for a long time.
Close the program settings window. Press the key combination Win + R to bring up the “Run” line.
In a small window, usually located in the lower left corner, enter the command: %temp%. Confirm your action with the “Ok” button. As a result, the utility will open in front of you the folder in which temporary files are written.
Using the Ctrl + A combination, select all files in the folder. Then press Del.
Some files are protected from deletion; if you try to erase them from the disk, a message will appear indicating that the action cannot be completed. Skip these files. This means that they are currently being used by some kind of program. When finished, close the current window.
Find the "Computer" icon in the Start menu or desktop.
All connected to motherboard disks and virtual media. You need to right-click on “Local Disk C” and in context menu select “Properties”.
In the window that appears, there will be several tabs, you need one titled “General”.
You will see a graph displaying the ratio of free and used space on your hard drive. Below it will be a “Disk Cleanup” button. It launches the system utility. Click this button.
For a while software will be needed to calculate extra files and perform analysis. After this, you will see a list of directories that the computer considers “junk”.
Place a marker in front of each list item and click OK. After this, the system will permanently delete the files.
Return to the window displaying the amount of free disk space. The data in it must change. At the bottom of the window you will find two lines. Remove the checkbox from the one titled “Allow the contents of files on this drive to be indexed.” Confirm your choice with the “Ok” button.

An access error may occur in the last step. If the message "Your access is denied" appears, you must select the "Continue" button. If the message looks different - “Error changing attributes”, then select the “Skip all” button.

If you have several disks on your PC, then you need to clean each of them according to these instructions.

Disk Defragmenter

The next step is disk defragmentation. This is also an important point that allows you to significantly speed up the performance of the system. Defragmentation is carried out according to the instructions:

Open "Computer" and right-click on the drive. Select "Properties" from the menu.
From the tabs in the window that opens, select “Service”.
Three sections will appear in front of you. Select Disk Defragmenter and click Run.
A new window will open in front of you, where you will launch the process and be able to monitor the progress of this work. In it you need to select the disks that will be defragmented. Click the "Defragmentation" button and wait for the process to complete.

In the same window, you can configure regular defragmentation on a schedule. For example, you can choose this option: run the process every Saturday at 3 am. Choose a time so that you can refrain from using the computer at this moment. If your updates are also installed on a schedule, then configure their delivery so that this process does not interfere with defragmentation. For example, install updates every Monday night and defragment them on Tuesday.

Speed up RAM in Windows 7

To speed up RAM, a page file is used. It is virtual memory, which is realized using free space on the hard drive. By default, the Windows 7 operating system reserves quite a large amount of virtual memory on the hard drive. free space– 50% of physical RAM. But in some cases this is not enough. For example, if you run a productive program or game on an office computer, as well as when working in several applications at once.

If there is not enough paging file, the system begins to overwrite it or access the main sectors of the hard drive. This overloads it, causing the computer to freeze. You can optimize the use of the paging file and RAM using the following instructions:

Go to the Start menu, right-click on the Computer button. It is located in the far right column.
Select "Properties" from the context menu. A window with all system parameters will open in front of you. In it you need to pay attention to the size of random access memory - RAM. If there is more than 4 GB of RAM, then nothing needs to be changed. If its volume is less, proceed to the next step.
In the left column, select "Advanced system settings."
In the window that opens, go to the “Advanced” tab. In the "Performance" section, click on the "Options" button.
A window with three tabs will open in front of you, select “Advanced”. In the Virtual Memory section, click the Change button.
Remove the checkbox from the line “Automatically select the size of the paging file.”
After that, put a marker on the phrase “Specify size.” Enter 5120 MB for the initial size and 7680 for the maximum. Click on the "Set" button. Confirm your action with the “Ok” button.

The “Ok” button will need to be pressed in all windows you open, only this way the changes made will be saved.

Using the CCleaner utility

Part of the work on optimizing the system can be entrusted to the CCleaner utility. It copes well with the following tasks:

removing unnecessary programs from startup;
cleaning the disk from temporary files;
fixing registry errors;
removing unused programs.

Let's start with the tab that will provide you with an accelerated launch of Windows 7. To do this, go to the Tools tab and select Startup on the left side. Next, all you have to do is remove it from startup unnecessary programs. To do this, select the line with the name of the program and click Disable. This will reduce the load on RAM, and you will be provided with faster loading of Windows.

In the same section, you can remove unnecessary programs; to do this, you just need to open the corresponding tab. If you only have on your computer required applications, then you can skip this step. Uninstalling applications using the program is not difficult - the steps are similar to those you did in the standard settings panel.

The most commonly used other features of the utility are disk cleaning and fixing registry errors. To complete this job you will need:

Go to the Cleaner section. Open the Applications tab.
You can leave the markers in the position recommended by the developers. But it's best to remove them from some options. Often, users do not want to get rid of their browser history, and it can take up several gigabytes of memory.
Start cleaning with the Run Cleaner button.
Now you need to go to the Registry section.
Click on the Scan for Issues button.
After the program compiles a table with errors, you must click on the Fix selected issues button. This will fix registry errors and remove some erroneous values.

It is recommended to clean and change the registry at least 2-3 times a month. This will allow you not to slow down the system and always enjoy the speed of the system. If you have already uninstalled programs and cleared temporary files, following the instructions above, check the registry and startup using the utility.

It is best to download the program in Russian, especially since it is now available to all users. In this case, it will be easier to understand - the interface will be understandable even for beginners.

Using the command MSconfig to speed up Windows 7 manually

Some programs slow down your computer by running in the background. They can only be tracked through the Task Manager or Command line. There is a way to get rid of annoying applications. Follow the instructions:

Press the Win + R buttons simultaneously. A small window with the word “Run” will appear in front of you.
In the only line of this window you need to enter the command: msconfig. Click the "OK" button.
The “System Configuration” window will open in front of you. From the tabs provided, select Services. A list of all background processes will open in front of you.
First of all, you need to put a marker next to the phrase “Do not display Microsoft services”. This will ensure that your computer does not malfunction while working with them. Now only background applications will remain in the list.
All other programs can be safely stopped - usually in the list you will find several utilities that monitor updates.
Go to the “Startup” tab and duplicate the actions that you previously performed in CCleaner. It is best to remove markers from all items on the list so that nothing interferes with your PC booting.

Using the "System Configuration" section will allow you not to understand the Task Manager processes.

What to do if the described methods to speed up Windows 7 do not work?

If all the actions taken did not lead to the desired result, then additional prevention is necessary:

The accelerated one will not work stably if the system requires maintenance. This concept includes not only cleaning the disk, but also replacing thermal paste and removing dust.
Completely scan your computer for viruses. Increased CPU load may be caused by activity malware. If you don't have antivirus program, then an initial check must be carried out bootable flash drive from Dr.Web or . You can create such a flash drive yourself by downloading the necessary files for the utilities from the official websites of the developers.

Hello friends! Today I want to talk about how to speed up computer boot and thereby save a little of your time. You've probably noticed how quickly your computer turns on after reinstalling Windows; by the way, I wrote about this here. This is because the newly installed operating system is still clean and in startup there is almost nothing yet. This is exactly what I want to tell you about autoloading today.

are programs and services that automatically start when you turn on your computer. I think you noticed that the computer has already turned on, the desktop has appeared, but nothing can be done because the system is loading something. So it launches all these programs from startup. This is of course useful feature, for example, antivirus, ICQ and others are launched at startup useful programs, but at the same time a lot of garbage is launched. Such as the NERO service, Google or Adobe services, they are practically not needed and our task is to remove them. When I come to someone’s place to look at their computer, I always check the startup. I check it with a special assembly Total Commander, which has a built-in utility “Autostart programs”.

There are many other programs that can be used to check startup, but I’m already used to this Total Commander and use it only. You can download it. For example, Autoload looks like this for me:

I still have a little garbage, because operating system I reinstalled it just recently. I’ve come across computers with such auto-booting that it took me by surprise :)

If, in order to clean your system of garbage, you use Total Commander, which can be downloaded from the link above, then do this:

Speed up PC boot time

1. Download, unpack and launch.

2. When it starts, there will be an “Optimization” tab in the window at the top, click and select “Autostart programs”

3. You will create a window similar to the one I have above. In this window you need to uncheck programs and services that you think are not needed. But my advice to you is, if you are not sure, then it’s better do not uncheck the box, otherwise you can get into trouble :) I can’t say exactly what you need to remove, since I don’t know what you have installed.

4. After you have removed everything unnecessary, click the “Save” button and restart your computer to look at the results.

However, it doesn’t matter which program you use to clean startup, there’s even standard remedy on Windows. You can call it by running the command. The main thing I wanted to say is that cleaning and periodically checking startup will help your computer start up and work faster. Good luck!
