A slow computer can make even simple tasks frustrating. Whether you use your device for work or personal use, performance issues often come from a handful of common causes. Here are the most effective fixes anyone can try before calling for professional support.
A simple reboot clears temporary memory and stops stuck background processes.
Windows Update / macOS Software Update
Outdated systems run slower and may have security issues.
Open Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (Mac) and close anything using too much CPU/RAM.
Devices slow down when they’re near full capacity.
Delete large files, old downloads, or unused apps.
Too many apps launching on startup increases boot time.
Malware can run silently in the background and destroy performance.
Web extensions can take memory and slow browsing dramatically.
Older HDDs slow down over time.
SSD upgrades give an instant speed boost.
Use High Performance mode on desktops or plugged-in laptops.
If nothing else works, a system reset clears corrupted files and gives you a fresh start.
