When you buy a new computer, it runs very smooth and fast. But later on we notice that it has become slow and freezes. Let me share my personal experience.
Why does it happen?
It’s because of the temporary files and garbage registry values added to the system through various ways like installing new software, adding and deleting files from hard disk, downloading items from internet.So here, I am telling you Six steps to get your PC running fast and smooth.
1. Remove unwanted software
- Go to control panel.
- Then add/remove programs.
- Now uninstall the software which you don’t need.
Control Panel in start menu
Add or remove programs
2. Update Antivirus Software
- Update the anti virus software you have on your PC regularly.
- Then perform a full system scan so as to remove all the malware from your system.
3. Check when you need to use Disk Fragmenter
- Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.
- Analyze each of the partitions (by right-clicking on each of the drives and selecting analyze).
- Defragment the ones which require defragmentation as shown by the message.
4. Delete Temporary files
- Go to start->run.
Then enter %temp% and hit enter 
.
- A window comes up. Select and delete all the files in it. (I was having 130 files in it).
5. Delete Prefetch files
Then enter “prefetch” (without quotes) and hit enter.Now select all files and delete them.(I deleted all my 60 files).
