The steps
Computer freezing or super slow?
- 01
Too many startups
Apps that launch with Windows pile up over time. Turn off the ones you do not need.
- 02
Low on space
A nearly full drive slows everything down. Keep at least 10 percent free.
- 03
Background apps
Browser tabs and updaters quietly eat your memory. Close what you are not using, then restart.
- 04
It is just old
An old hard drive or low RAM can only do so much. An SSD or more RAM is the cheapest real fix.
