  4. Computer seem slow

    slowness in computer usage.

    Hi John,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I appreciate if you could answer a few questions to narrow down to the issue.


    • What is the make and model of the computer?

    • What makes you think that system is running slow? Is it when you are trying to run application?

    • Did you install any third party security application?
    From the screenshot that you have provided, I understood that it’s not the issue with the disk usage. The slowness might be due to the memory usage.

    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to run maintenance task and check if it helps.


    • Press Windows key + X from the desktop.

    • Select Control panel and Select System and Security.

    • Click on Troubleshoot common computer problems under System and maintenance.

    • Now Run maintenance task under
      System and security
      .
    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.

  5. That is a quite big ask! But here you go:

    For the most part, I can successfuly speed up my Acer computer which I had since 2012 use following methods:

    - do a thorough system cleaning

    I use CCleaner to clear up the trash and uninstal unnecessary apps and tools in the system. I believe developing a habit of cleaning trash on a regular basis is quite important for keeping the system light and fast.
    In addition to that, I remove all the unwanted files in C drive and avoid setting the C drive as the destination of various downloads.

    - keep drivers on the system up to date

    I use SnailDriver to scan and update the outdated drivers on the system. Outdated drivers can result into various issues on a computer which include a slowdown of the system performce, so I am always happy to see my drivers are up to date.

    Hope this helps!
