How to Speed Up Your Windows 11 PC
How to Speed Up Your Windows 11 PC
1. Manage autostart programs-disable unnecessary startup program。
Here is how to stop a program from starting automatically
Select the Start button, then select Settings > Apps > Startup .
In the Startup Apps area, find the program you want to stop from starting automatically and set it to Off.
2. Clear memory via disk cleanup
To delete temporary files:
- In the search box on the taskbar, type disk cleanup, and select Disk Cleanup from the list of results.
- Select the drive you want to clean up, and then select OK.
- Under Files to delete, select the file types to get rid of. To get a description of the file type, select it.
- Select OK.
If you need to free up more space, you can also delete system files:
- In Disk Cleanup, select Clean up system files.
- Select the file types to get rid of. To get a description of the file type, select it.
- Select OK.
3. Uninstall obsolete programs
Select the Start button, then select Settings > Apps.
Find the programs you don't need, click on it and then select "uninstall"
4. Turn off shadows, animations, and visual effects
In the Windows 11 search box, type sysdm.cpl, press Enter, and then click the sysdm.cpl icon. That launches the Control Panel’s System Properties dialog box. Click the Advanced tab and click Settings in the Performance section. That brings you to the Performance Options dialog box. (Make sure you’re on the Visual Effects tab of the dialog box.) You’ll see a varied list of animations and special effects.
These are the animations and special effects you’ll probably want to turn off, because they have the greatest effect on system performance:
- Animate controls and elements inside windows
- Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing
- Animations in the taskbar
- Fade or slide menus into view
- Fade or slide ToolTips into view
- Fade out menu items after clicking
- Show shadows under windows
However, it’s a lot easier to just select the Adjust for best performance option at the top of the screen and click OK. Windows 11 will then turn off the effects that slow down your system.
5. Turn off background apps
Select the Start button, then select Settings > Apps .
Scroll to the entry of the background app you wish to adjust settings for.
Click on the three-dot icon and then on “Advanced options”.
In the “Background apps permissions” section, select “Never”.
6. Turn off app notifications
Select the Start button, then select Settings > System> Notifications, and move the slider to “Off”.
7. Make sure you have the latest updates for Windows and device driver
Select the Start button, then select Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates.
Select the updates you want to install, then select Install.
Restart your PC and see if it seems to run better.
8. Check for low disk space and free up space
You may improve performance if you free some disk space on your PC.
To check for low disk space
Select the Start button, then select Settings > System > Storage .
Your drives will be listed in the Storage area. Note the amount of free space and total size for each drive.
9. Pause OneDrive Syncing
