This article is to share with you about the Windows computer optimization example analysis, the editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you to learn. I hope you can get something after reading this article. Let's take a look at it with the editor.

I occasionally heard my friends complain that the Windows computer at home is getting slower and slower. Is it necessary to DIY a new computer? Or replace it with an Apple computer. I heard that Apple's products will not be used more and more slowly.

Hearing such a complaint, I look helpless again. Is there no possibility of optimization for the old Windows system? How to solve the problem of stutter in the old system? The following through this optimization guide to save the old Windows system, understand the causes of system stutter, and then prescribe the right medicine, adjust the system itself and use some excellent optimization tools to achieve the purpose of solving the stutter problem of the old system.

The reason for the stutter of the old system

Before optimizing the system, we need to find out the cause of the stutter in the system. I roughly classify the causes of system stutters into the following categories:

1. Too many system startup items

The Windows system startup item is the program that runs in the foreground or background when the operating system completes the login process. When you first start using the new system, you will inevitably need to install a large number of daily applications. During the installation process, some programs will be automatically set to "boot and run by yourself":

Many software provide the option to boot and run automatically.

If a large number of applications boot up, it is possible to cause the system to start and run stutter. Especially now the function of the application program is getting larger and larger, and the situation that needs more memory will become more and more serious. if the user sets this kind of application as the startup item, too many applications will inevitably affect the speed of the computer at startup and the response performance of the system at run time.

two。 Too many system service items

Windows service refers to a computer program running in the background in the Windows NT operating system. The Windows NT operating system consists of a number of services that run in three user account environments: system, network services, and local services. These Windows components are usually managed by Windows services. The service provides core operating system functions, such as Web services, event logging, file services, printing, encryption, and error reporting.

Management window for service items

Compared with the programs run by the user, the service does not have program windows or dialog boxes, and they can only be observed in the task manager. Service items can be divided into four startup types: automatic, manual, disabled or automatic (delayed startup). If there are too many automatic start-up services in the user system, it may cause the background operation of the system to take up too many resources. Of course, we still need to set different startup types according to different system services, rather than uniformly set to disabled types.

3. Turn on a large number of system animation effects

Some users' computer hardware configuration is relatively backward, after switching to Windows 10 system, it is possible to turn on a large number of system animation effects, which may lead to stutter problems. Windows 10 system provides a large number of Windows appearance and performance setting options, especially Win10 window animation may allow users to stutter when switching programs.

4. Hardware issu

Computer hardware problems lead to system stutter problems, which can be roughly divided into the following two reasons:

The hardware driver is relatively backward, and users often ignore updating the hardware driver when using the operating system normally. It is possible that the backward version of the driver can not give full play to the performance of the hardware, or the system runs stutter due to conflicts with the hardware during subsequent upgrades.

The hardware configuration is old and can not meet the running requirements of the new system, for example, the performance of the hard disk running for more than tens of thousands of hours is significantly degraded, and the mechanical hard disk may load slowly when running a large number of large applications.

Start the optimization operation

Through the analysis of the causes of stutter in the old Windows system, we have a general understanding of the stutter problem caused by hardware and software, and the following begins to give the corresponding solution through each stutter reason.

Clean up the system background process

Open "Settings-Privacy-background applications", and users can choose which applications are allowed to receive messages, send notifications and make updates when they are not in use. The applications listed here are UWP applications built into the Windows 10 system itself and downloaded through the Microsoft Store.

Users can also use Process Lasso optimization software, which runs by default. According to my π contract author, the geek is not easy to use in Windows system. Let these system optimization tools tune it. "according to the user experience, after installing Process Lasso, the stutter and white screen of GPD Pocket devices have been greatly alleviated, and you can edit text with Atom while browsing multiple web pages.

Process Lasso provides four modes of operation

In the system background process optimization, Process Lasso will take the ProBalance balance mode as the default optimization strategy, mainly to balance the computer CPU occupancy as a consideration index. Users can also assign priority to each process, view the start time and file location of each process, or simply end resource-intensive processes.

The default optimization strategy for Process Lasso is CPU usage balance mode.

Cancel unnecessary boot startup items

Users view and manage boot items in the system in the following ways:

If you belong to a non-Windows 10 system to open the task manager, use the Win+R key combination to open the run box, enter msconfig will open the system configuration window, switch the startup tab, you can manage the system startup items.

The Windows 10 system has removed the function of managing startup items from the system configuration window, directly open the task manager and switch to the "startup" tab, or in the search bar of the start menu, type taskmgr / 0 / startup to open the startup tab of the task manager directly.

Right-click provides a disable option

Users can cancel projects that have joined boot startup by checking the box. If you use third-party software, take velvet security as an example, open "extension tool-Startup item Management-switch to Startup item tab". Velvet lists the startup projects in the form of chart and brief description. Users can directly select the "one-click optimization" built-in in the software.

Velvet security provides the function of startup item optimization

Through the optimization of startup items built in velvet, users can also deal with startup items manually, and can choose to ignore, delete or open the directory where the boot program is located, making it convenient for users to customize different boot items.

Optimize system servic

Search for "service" in the start search box or open the run window and directly enter services.msc to open the service management window. This part involves changing the startup type of the system service, which may cause the stability of the system, so it is recommended that you back up the default service status manually by opening the service management window and clicking "Operation-Export list-choose to export as txt or csv file". If there is an error after optimization, import the backup file after you cannot enter the safe mode normally.

Users who do not like to toss can choose the optimization strategy provided by third-party tools, such as velvet security startup optimization provides one-click optimization function, you can also review the operation records and set to ignore items.

Velvet security provides service item optimization function

The user needs to view the startup items and service items that have been optimized by velvet security. After clicking "Operation record", the record window will pop up, marking the record information that has been operated, and the user can also restore the original state of each project with one key. this function facilitates the undo and recovery in the event of an operation error.

The following is a list of services that users can choose to manually or disable after I have collected online and personal experience:

Turn off system animation effects

Right-click "my computer (or this computer)", select "Properties-Advanced system Settings-Advanced-Click the Settings button in the performance area", switch to the visual effects tab, select "adjust to * performance", and click OK to Save. Or select custom, uncheck the unwanted special effects, and then click OK.

Performance option

Users of the Windows 10 system can also open the settings window, select "easy to use-other options" and turn off "play Animation in Windows".

Update hardware driver

It is recommended to focus on checking the updates of graphics card drivers. NVIDIA and AMD two major graphics card manufacturers have annual blockbuster drivers before the end of each year. Such drivers often make some graphics cards "chicken blood", and their performance may be greatly improved. At the same time, updating drivers also helps to reduce hardware conflicts with fewer system crashes.

AMD "chicken blood" driver of the year

In Windows 10, the system comes with driver updates, so you don't have to worry about driver problems as long as you turn on automatic updates. Older versions of Windows suggest going to the manufacturer's official website to download.

You can also choose foreign third-party driver update tools, such as Driver Booster, Driver Fusion, DRIVER REVIVER and so on.

Upgrade Hardwar

If your computer is already configured as it was seven or eight years ago, and still stays in 2GB memory and 500GB HDD mechanical hard drive, it is recommended that you first consider increasing the memory capacity and upgrading SSD solid state disk without completely replacing the platform, in which the effect of upgrading solid state disk is absolutely leveraged. Considering the interface of the old platform, you can buy SSD with SATA interface, with a capacity above 256GB. The installation path of the system and daily software is on the solid state disk.

If you need to check the use of the computer hard disk, recommend a free hard disk detection tool CrystalDiskInfo, the software installation package is only 4.3MB, the runtime takes up less resources, users who do not like to mess around only need to simply judge the current status of the hard disk according to the official health status, and you can also check the power-up time and the status of various hardware parameters to further determine whether the hard disk has aged or has problems. Thus affecting the running state of the system.

To detect the bad state of the hard disk, you need to pay attention to the data security and replace the hardware.

When replacing computer accessories, it is easy to overlook the power supply. At that time, many users were fooled by JS that the 150W/200W power supply was enough to drive their computers, so if they were replaced by middle and high-end graphics cards, CPU and other accessories, it is recommended that the power supply be replaced together to ensure the stability of the operation of the system, and the major computer accessories can give full play to their own performance.

Reinstall the system

If none of the above solutions can help you solve the problem of stutter in the system, you can offer a "big killer": reinstall the system. The Windows 10 system has built-in backup and recovery capabilities, so it is recommended that you create system image backup files on a regular basis in a quarter. Use the system backup feature of the Dism++ toolbox to quickly back up system images.

Dism++ provides system backup function

Of course, you have a U disk that can be used to install the system at any time, but it is quite portable and practical. When the female students in the class ask you to help install the system, the U disk installation system is still very efficient. Users with this need can refer to the Megabits sharing to make a four-in-one maintenance U disk. How convenient can it be to reinstall the system?

Other system optimization

Other system optimization efforts include turning off the automatic update service of the system, setting up the Windows Defender virus scanning schedule and virtual memory reasonably, and the specific operation steps:

Turn off the system automatic update program

Open the running window, enter gpedit.msc, open the local group policy editor window, click "computer configuration-Administrative templates-Windows components-Windows Update", find "configuration automatic Update" in the back area, double-click to open it, select "disabled", and then close the automatic update of the system. Later, the user will manually check the system update to reduce the system occupation of the background automatic update agent.

Reasonable setting of Windows Defender scheduled scan

Open the Local Group Policy Editor (turn off the automatic update above for method operations), click computer configuration; Administrative templates; Windows components; Windows Defender Scan ", find" start scheduled scan only when the computer is on but not in use ", double-click to select started, and run Windows Defender's scheduled scan only when the computer is idle, so as to avoid affecting system performance due to scanning while the computer is working.

Reasonable setting of virtual memory

Now when the price of memory is soaring, users will first choose 8GB when they are newly installed, and some old computers may still stay in the age of 4GB. Set the size of virtual memory reasonably and let part of the hard disk space act as memory. We can appropriately reduce the size of virtual memory, but it is recommended that it not be lower than 2048MB.

Right-click on my computer or this computer to open the properties, and then select "Advanced system Settings-Advanced-Click the Settings button in the performance area", which will open the settings window of the performance options, select the Advanced tab, click the change button, and restart the computer to allow the virtual memory to take effect after the settings are completed.

Do a good job of heat dissipation inside the computer

When the inside of the computer overheats, the cooling fan of the CPU fan or other accessories will accelerate to drain the heat quickly. If the CPU is still overheated, the CPU will enter the state of overheated frequency reduction protection, which is more obvious in the chip of the Notebook mobile platform, and the decline of CPU performance will also affect the smooth operation of the system. So keep the air circulation around the computer every day, clean the dust from the fan regularly or change the heat dissipation silicone grease, so as to make the interior of the computer run better and stably.

Conclusion | the combination of software and hardware to optimize the old system

The optimization of the old system requires users to start with software and hardware, turn off unnecessary boot items and system services in software, reasonably turn on the animation effects of some systems, etc., and consider updating drivers regularly in hardware to solve the running-in problem between drivers and systems. if the budget is loose, you can consider directly replacing computer accessories such as memory, solid state disk, etc. Pay attention to the operating environment of the internal heat dissipation of the computer in daily use. Of course, more importantly, the user's daily use of the system habit, do not install the whole family bucket package, give priority to the less resource-intensive applications, really let the old system continue to shine.

The above is the Windows computer optimization example analysis, the editor believes that there are some knowledge points that we may see or use in our daily work. I hope you can learn more from this article. For more details, please follow the industry information channel.
