  1. There might be to much being stored on your computer. I would suggest cleaning out un-needed items.


  2. Everyone knows that Windows computers can sometimes slow down over time. While not an exhaustive list of solutions to problems, this collection presents some ways to speed up a computer.

    1. De-Fragmenting

    Over time, the data on your hard drive gets scattered. Defragmenting your hard drive puts your data back into sequential order, making it easier for Windows to access it. As a result, the performance of your computer will improve.

    a) Right click of C Disk.

    b) Click properties.

    c) Click tools tab.

    d) Click "Defragment now".

    e) Click Defragment.

    2. Uninstall Unneeded Programs

    Removing programs that you no longer use can free up space on your computer and speed up your system's performance. However, you need to uninstall the programs properly to see much improvement; deleting them is not enough.

    3. Stop Programs from starting on Windows boot

    One way you can speed up your computer is to prevent programs from launching themselves at start-up. Not only do the unwanted programs delay the start of Windows, they also continue to slow down your computer since they use system resources.

    a) Open your Start menu.

    b) Click Run

    c) In the command screen type "msconfig.exe"

    d) In the "system configuration utility", click either "service" or "startup" tab

    e) Uncheck all programs that you are no longer using.

    f) Click "OK"

    4. Check for Spyware and Adware

    Spyware is software that allows companies to monitor what websites you visit or even access your computer. Adware is software that displays advertisements. Both use system resources and slow your computer down. Detecting and removing the programs will improve system performance.

  3. go to your last restore point to undo changes

  4. Download and install ATF Cleaner check all boxes and choose empty selected. This will clean up any left over temp files frm the update that will be slowing down your computer.

  5. Updates can sometimes do that...I would check your startup applications (CCleaner makes this easy and it's free) and make sure that the startup isn't clogged with stuff you don't want in there.
