Subject: [vip_students] Maintenence: Tips for speeding up a laptop!
Although all of these tips above and below can speed up your laptop, there
are some tips that can just apply to laptops only.
All laptops built in the last 10 years make their batteries last longer by
slowing down the computer processor when you don't seem to be using all of
it. Although this works great to prolong battery life, it means that your
laptop runs slower when it runs off battery.
To switch your laptop back into normal mode, all you have to do is plug in
your laptop and the computer processor will run at full power, giving you
100% of the speed you expected when you bought the laptop.1.Keeping a clean
computer means a faster computer. Therefore you should always organize your
computer files in a way that makes them easy to find and also easy to
backup.
2.When you boot into your computer it is not only the Windows operating
system that is starting, as most people have many other programs starting at
the same time. To speed up this process you need to disable startup
programs.
3.A great way to speed up your computer is not to overwork it in the first
place. For example most people have five or six programs open at the same
time and they really aren't using all of them. Close down programs you are
not using.
4.Keep up with your computer maintenance as it is will speed up your
computer just by doing this.
5.Another good way to speed up your computer is to disable automatic
updates on certain programs. Did you know that programs are checking the
Internet every time you start your computer to see if they need to be
updated or not?I am not talking about disabling Windows automatic updates as
it is really all the other little programs that are doing the damage. If you
have a notification icon in the notification area you can usually right
click on it to get to the settings and disable the updates that way.
