Windows 10: Best way and smart tricks for optimizing windows computers

Hi,


Being a Tech Support Executive, I go through following steps for optimizing a Windows computer;

• Uninstall unwanted software
• Disable unwanted services using msconfig
• Check Windows Startup, Scheduled Tasks, Cleaning Registry issues and other steps using CCleaner
• Check the option Adjust for best performance in Advanced Performance Option
• Updating all software including Windows and Antivirus
• Running full scan by an antivirus
• Removing Internet temporary files using temp and %temp% commands
• Resetting and optimizing all browsers
• Running tools for removing junk files and malwares

I believe all above are common steps followed by almost all technicians and I have been doing same thing for long time. I would like to know more steps/ ticks that seem not common steps but more effective way.


Please find for me and let me know.
