15 TIPS TO INCREASE WINDOWS SPEED NO SOFTWARE NO HACKS

15 TIPS TO INCREASE 

WINDOWS SPEED ON 

YOUR PC WITHOUT ANY SOFTWARE

1 Remove more than one antivirus

if you use more than one antivirus or antispyware program at the same time, your computer may experience decreased performance, become unstable, or restart unexpectedly.

Caution: 
When you remove your currently installed Internet security programs, your computer may be in an unprotected state. 
Make sure you have an Internet security program running on your computer at all times.

Tip: 
You will need to restart your computer while following these instructions. Write them down, print them, or bookmark this page (mark it as a Favorite) to make it easier to find this topic again.

Step 1: Remove antivirus or antispyware programs

1. In Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type appwiz.cpl, and then press Enter. 
   -or- 
   In Windows Vista, click Start. In the Start Search box, type appwiz.cpl, and then press Enter. 
   -or- 
   In Windows 7, click Start. In the Search programs and files box, type appwiz.cpl, and then press Enter. 
   -or- 
   In Windows 8, Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap or click Apps and then tap or click Search (or if you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search).Type appwiz.cpl in Search box, and tap Appwiz.cpl on the left side of your screen.
2. In the list of installed programs, uninstall any other Internet security programs.
3. Restart your computer.

2.close programme in notification panel

Some programs add an icon to the notification area on the taskbar. Look there to see whether there are any programs running that you do not want to start automatically. Point to each icon to see the program name. To make sure that you can see icons for all the running programs, click the Show hidden icons button shown in the following image. 

                         

3.View the start folder

Some programs include themselves in the Startup folder so that they start automatically every time that you start Windows.

To see all programs that run at startup, click the Start button, click All Programs, and then click Startup.

If you see any programs in this folder that you are certain you do not want to run when Windows starts, right-click the icon for that program, and then click Delete.

4.Use system configuration

System Configuration is a tool that helps you identify the programs that run at startup. System Configuration is not meant to work as a startup management tool, but you can use System Configuration to determine whether a program that runs at startup is slowing down your computer.

Important: If you disable programs that normally run at startup, related applications may start more slowly or not run as expected. If you are not sure what a program in System Configuration does, do not disable the program.

1. To open System Configuration, click Start , click Control Panel, click System and Security, click Administrative Tools, and then double-click System Configuration. 
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
2. In System Configuration, click the Startup tab

5. Run disk cleanup, Defrag and check disk

These tools are used to speed up the performance of your 

hard disk. To achieve this, right click on the desired partition

 (where the OS is installed) and then click “Properties”. Now 

select the “Tools” tab and click on one of the tools listed 

here:

The “Disk defragmentation tool” will align data blocks written 

on your hard drive in order to make them easier to be 

accessed by the OS. The “Error-checking” tool will fix any 

bugs from your hard-disk. I prefer running the command line

 tool rather than using the GUI. Open “command prompt” 

and type the following:

The “/r” parameter will locate bad sectors and will recover 

readable data, but also will fix disk errors.

Note that these tools will take a while to finish their operation.

The “Disk Cleanup” tool is used to delete unnecessary data 

stored on your computer, such as temporary internet files,

thumbnails, debug dump files, etc.  To open this tool simply 

type “Disk Cleanup” in the search bar. You will then be 

prompted to enter a disk partition on which the tool will 

execute. After calculating the disk space gained, you will be 

redirected to the following screen:

Check all the things that you want to remove and then click the “OK” button.

6. Disable unnecessary visual effects

As you may already know, Windows comes by default with 

some visual effects activated. Features like Windows Aero,

 shadows or thumbnails can be disabled to boost your 

computer’s performance. Right click “My Computer” and 

then select “Properties”. After the window opens, click the 

“Advanced system settings” button from the right side. You

 will then be prompted to the following screen:

In the “Performance tab” click the “Settings

” button. Next, select an option from the ones 

available. You can adjust your settings for 

“best performance”, “best appearance” or 

select the features that you want to activate 

one by one:

7. Update Windows with the latest definitions

One important step in optimizing your 

computer’s performance is by installing the

 updates must be applied so that you can 

better prevent and fix bugs, errors, malicious 

software installation or intrusions. Note that 

Microsoft often releases updates to fix some 

known bugs that exist on a fresh Windows 

installation. Some of these updates can even 

fix and optimize performance issues.

To install the latest updates go to “Control 

Panel\System and Security\Windows Update” 

and then click “Check for updates” button. 

Wait until Windows finds all available updates 

and then select the ones that you want to 

install. In the end, you will probably have to 

restart your workstation.

8. Disable unused programs that run at

 startup

Remember that your computer may probably run software

 that is not needed all the time. Some of these programscan 

be disabled to increase speed. For achieving this, I prefer

 using the Microsoft System Configuration Utility tool. You 

can run it by typing “Msconfig” from the run prompt: 

Navigate to the “Startup” tab and then deselect the 

programs that are not mandatory:

For instance, iTunes, QuickTime and Adobe Manager can be

 disabled to improve your computer’s performance. 

Remember that these programs may run in the back, so as a 

user you may not be aware of the running processes.

9. Disable unused Windows Services

You can also optimize computer’s performance by disabling

 unused Windows services. By disabling them you increase 

the available RAM memory and CPU. Open the "Services" 

console in any way you prefer (I’m used to open the Services 

console by typing Services.msc from the run prompt):

Select the services that you want to disable, right click them 

and then select "Properties". From the following window you 

can set the service "Startup type" to "Disabled". Check the 

following image:

Services like Tablet PC input Service or Windows Indexing 

Service can be disabled if you don’t need them.

 9.Scan your computer for malware

In many occasions, your computer can have low 

performance because it may be infected with viruses. The 

best method of dealing with viruses is by installing an 

antivirus program and run it on a regular basis. In Windows 

7, you can install Microsoft Security Essentials for free and it 

will do the job perfectly. You can always choose another

security software such as AVG, Nod32, Kaspersky, etc.

I also use “Malwarebytes” to scan for malware. This tool can 

be used for free a period of time before registering or buying

 it. I’ve worked with this software and I would it recommend 

to anyone. Many of the malware exited on my computer were 

detected and cleaned using this tool.

10.Use CCleaner or any other optimizing software

This tool is very powerful and can be used to significantly

 improve your computer’s speed. It is a freeware software 

available for download from

 http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner. 

This program will scan all areas of your 

computer and will clean and fix things like registry keys, 

temporary files, recycle bin, history and cookies etc.

You can use advance system optimizer

pc optimizer

11. Uninstall any unwanted program 

I recommend that you uninstall any unused programs from 

your computer. By doing this, registry keys are cleaned, 

hard disk space is increased, running processes are 

reduced and overall computer’s performance is increased. 

You can uninstall software from your computer by using any 

third party programs like “Revo Uninstaller” or simply by 

using the “Uninstall” feature available in Windows 7. To do

 this, open “Control Panel” go to “Programs” and then Click

 “Uninstall a program” from the available options. From the 

list select any software that you do not use and click 

uninstall. Be careful because uninstalling any software

 used by your OS may result in a system crush.

12. Disable the Screen Server and the Wallpaper

You can turn off these visual effects if you don’t need them

. To achieve this, right click your Desktop and select 

“Properties”. You can select a solid color as a Wallpaper and 

disable the Screen Server from running on your computer.

 

13. Disable unnecessary Windows sounds

Remember that Windows audio effects use your computer’s 

resources so if you disable some of them, you can increase 

the performance of your workstation. Open “Control Panel” 

navigate to the “Hardware and Sounds” menu and then click 

the “Sound” button. Select and disable the desired sounds from the list:

14. Disable UAC (***Advanced Users Only!)

If you are a computer Administrator, you should disable 

UAC for boosting performance. UAC is a notification 

mechanism used to prevent malicious changes to your

 system.

15. Increasing the page file and 

allocating memory for Background

 services

You can choose how the processor allocates resources by 

selecting the “Background service” option rather than 

“Programs”. You can also opt for increasing the size of the 

page file. The page file is used by Windows similar to RAM 

so increasing it would probably increase your computer’s 

performance (if needed). I usually don’t change the size of 

the page file because Windows will select the required size 

automatically. Check the “Automatically manage paging files 

for all drivers” feature from the Virtual Memory menu.

WHEN THESE STEPS FOLLOW YOUR WINDOWS 

PERFOMANCE INCREASES
