How to Get Rid of Errors and Speed up Your PC
Frustration increases as your laptop gets older and slower.
If your Windows Registry contains a lot of outdated entries, you’ll end up with a very slow computer
One of the most important files on a Windows PC is the Windows registry. A log of different information about your laptop resides here. E.g. where are your programs installed? Where are the DLL files placed? What application does each short cut in your start menu and your desktop point to?
Everything you do while using Windows ends up in the Windows Registry. That could be the location of the latest files used (documents, spread sheets, images, videos etc.). You will also find data about the applications installed and uninstalled.
Many things can cause a PC to become slow, and they can hit any PC.
A professional tool can make your computer fast again.
A professional tool usually works like this:
- Analyzing the computer looking for known errors that usually makes a computer slow.
- Fixing the errors
- Eventually your computer is faster, it will also boot faster because it no loger has any registry errors.
Additional factors that can cause your Windows PC to be slower
A cluttered Windows Registry is not the only thing that can make your notebook slow
Sometimes anti-virus programs causes your PC to be slow due to bad configuration
Your anti virus might be set up to scan harmless files, thus it is using valuable CPU time for no reason.
Additionally anti virus programs are often set to analyza local harddrives as well as network drives.
A local hard drive is much faster than a network drive, thus scanning a network drive eats up a lot of CPU.
Beware that normally there is only a minor risk involved if you set your anti virus program to disable analysis of your network drives.
