Programs running in the background takes up memory and steals system resources. This is by far the most common reason systems progressively slow down. When you set up an application for the first time in most cases they will set themselves to load at start up. There are 2 places you can look for these applications.

Step 4

The operation gets scattered when you install or delete certain files. Windows needs continuous blocks of hard drive space to instigate as cache. Cache in Windows is called virtual memory. This is used when all your physical memory has been utilized. The windows has to be left with space to be utilized further on various applications. Before we run Disk Defrag follow the step below and run scan disk.

Scan disk corrects data errors on your hard drive. It is essential to correct data errors before you run disk defrag. Make run all programs are close before you start.

Disk Defrag is in the similar window as Scan Disk. Again make sure to close all programs before starting.

Scan Disk and Disk Defrag should be run at least 5 or 6 times a year depending on usage.

Step 5

Eliminating Start up programs in your Windows Registry

What is the Windows Registry?

The program installed each time helps in running the installation. Unfortunately programs also use the Registry to load at start up. We need to find the start up folder and delete these settings. The following shows you how.

Open Hkey_Local_Machine

Look for the Software folder and open it

Next open the Microsoft folder and open the Windows folder

Reducing the Size of your Registry

The registry is a dumping ground for application settings.Uninstalling the program doesn't always undo the changes it made to your registry. This causes your registry to grow overtime. When your registry is full the computer slows down in its performance. This is precisely why computers progressively slow down. Re-installing Windows is the best way to solve this issue. Unfortunately this is way to time consuming and takes a little bit of know how to complete. Reduction in the space of registry is the perfect to accomplish the performance of the user. Use a few bucks and download a registry cleaner. Not only will it keep your registry in check it also repairs windows errors. I use RegCure professionally and I strongly suggest it to anyone who owns a computer.
