5 Reasons Why the Performance of Your PC is Very Slow.

When buying a new PC, or just after formatting it, we can see how luxurious the computer is. Everything opens fast, everything runs instantly, and is a pleasure to use. But as the months go by, it suddenly becomes harder for you to start up, it takes forever to load your desktop or use it to surf the Internet is a tedious task because of how extremely slow it goes. Is something wrong? Well yes, of course, but it can be from a virus that is annoying us to a simple problem of having the hard disk full of things. We are going to check  5 reasons why the performance of your PC is very slow and how to fix it.

Scenario 1: Reboot

We open with one of the simplest. Does the PC go to four frames per second in every action it performs? Well, save what you are doing and restart it, because with this simple action it may already work well again and the Internet goes at a decent speed. Why? Well, simply because perhaps the memory was very saturated with parallel processes, open programs, and/or heavy applications. In this way, with a simple reboot - not off and on - we erase memory, eliminate resources, and make the operating system load more optimally.

Scenario 2: Too Many Programs at Startup

On a computer, when Windows starts, a variety of programs that are necessary, such as drivers, antivirus, etc., are started along with it. But it may also start a lot of programs that we will not need - especially if the PC is a brand - or that does not have to be loaded as well. Do we need to load Steam, Adobe's manager, Nero Burning to burn discs? No, and that is why we must open the Task Manager in Windows (right-click on the Task Bar or search for it in the search bar), look for the Start tab, and start removing the ones we don't need, although be careful because you can remove some necessary driver.

Scenario 3: Hard Disk Without Free Space

One of the most common reasons for poor performance and extreme slowness of a computer may be that the poor hard disk is up to capacity, with just megabytes of free space and full of disks, series, games (installed and not installed), of programs that we use little or not, of thousands of images ... Of clicks (not to say shit) in general that does not go anywhere. Take a moment to examine everything you have downloaded and installed and what you don't use just delete it, or uninstall it and free up precious space on the HDD. If you want to keep some of everything you accumulate/have downloaded, a large-capacity external hard disk or USB will solve the problem and thus you allow the PC to breathe a little and therefore can process at a higher speed. Even a defrag would do great after lightening it.

Scenario 4: New OS, Old Equipment

Having the latest software and operating system is something that many users love. But if you have a PC with several years, without physically updating any of its components and you have put Windows 10 Anniversary in it, then it is normal that it goes slow. You can try adding more RAM, a Flash technology SSD hard drive, and a newer graphics card. Or go to Settings and reduce the part of the visual effects and transitions that Windows has activated and that make any action or operation look fluid and beautiful, but at the cost of system performance. Open the start menu, type Performance, and click where it says to adjust the appearance and performance of Windows, and there you can remove effects such as maximization - minimization of Windows windows for example.

Scenario 5: Heavy Programs

Panda, Avast, Norton, Google Chrome, are part of the so-called heavy programs since they consume a huge amount of system resources unnecessarily and therefore slow down the computer. Like everything, there are alternatives in the form of programs that consume less. Try removing Norton and installing Protegent as antivirus software, or installing Chrome and trying to navigate with the Opera Browser.

Emergency Measure: Factory Values

Have you tried this and it is still slow? If this is the case or worse, if what you have is a PC full of malware and other malicious content, the most expeditious way to solve it is to reinstall Windows, deleting everything in the process. With this, you will have a clean copy and a PC ready. Yes, it is a pain to have to reinstall all programs and make a backup, but it is better than suffering a slow PC in constant agony. Another option, if you bring it, is to return the equipment to ' Factory settings', which leaves it as if we took it out of the box again and turned it on for the first time.
