Laptop too slow - how to make it faster

If your laptop slows down after some time, you will notice that programs take longer to start or that the laptop reacts delayed to commands. The hardware is not always responsible for this, because various measures can also be taken via the operating system.

This is what you can do if your laptop becomes too slow

If you notice when using your laptop that it reacts more slowly to your commands or programs no longer start as quickly as before, then this can have various causes. First, you can take various measures via your operating system. Only if these do not help check the hardware.

1. The first steps should be to clean up your disks to get rid of unnecessary files. To do this, go to the Start menu or use Windows Search to open "Disk Cleanup".
2. Then run the program and select the drive you want to clean up. After the scan is complete, you can select which of the files found can be deleted.
3. Search for system files under certain circumstances, as these also contain outdated versions due to updates.
4. In addition, disable programs that are started automatically, as these also slow down the laptop a lot during startup.
5. To do this, go to the "Task Manager" and then "Details".
6. Now disable all programs that you do not need immediately after startup.
7. Finally, uninstall all programs that you no longer need on the laptop.
