How to optimize system settings. The best programs for cleaning your computer and optimizing Windows. Disable unused components

Unfortunately, lack of attention to performance personal computer in most cases brings it to naught, which, of course, affects the efficiency and functionality of the device. The quality of work and the correctness of all processes in the computer depends on the degree of its clutter with foreign objects. You can solve the performance problem by optimizing Windows 7 using special cleaning programs.

Performance as it is

Performance - the speed of the information processed by the computer in a certain unit time. And the higher this speed, the correspondingly higher productivity.

Signs of a slow computer

The main signs of a slow computer are: long time turning the computer on and off, suspiciously long startup of programs and applications, delayed reaction to moving the cursor and pressing, and other signs.

What affects the performance of your computer and laptop

The following factors affect computer performance:

• incompatibility software computer, programs, games, operating system with PC accessories;
• presence of extraneous, unnecessary files;
• a broken cooler or poor heat dissipation from the central parts of the computer;
• in many cases, the reason is a conflict between programs: the installation of two antiviruses at the same time or incompatible drivers confirms this.
• errors in setting up the operating system and / or improper use of it;
• disruption of the BIOS;
• malware infection;

Basic methods of OS optimization and PC performance improvement

Clean up your hard drive to improve Windows performance

The most common way to optimize an operating system is to clean up hard disk from unnecessary and even harmful files. These can be copies, reports of active programs, temporary files, browser cache, etc. Paths where you can manually delete temporary files:

• C: \ Users \ Username \ AppData \ Local \ Temp;
• C: \ Windows \ Temp;
• C: \ Users \ All Users / TEMP;
• C: \ Users \ Default \ AppData \ Local \ Temp;
• recent documents: C: \ Users \ username \ AppData \ Roaming \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Recent \;
• temporary internet files: C: \ Users \ username \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Temporary Internet Files \.

To clean the disk from temporary and unused files, the standard Windows Disk Cleanup tool is also used. Click "Start" - "All Programs" - "Standard" - "Service". Then we launch the program. We select the disk we need, remove / put pointers in front of exactly those categories of files that need to be cleaned (deleted), proceed to cleaning it.

Setting up automatic HDD defragmentation

Another convenient way to optimize your system is to defragment your hard drive. This procedure makes it possible to increase the speed of access to files and, as a consequence, increase the speed of the system. In the end, it all depends on the level of disk fragmentation: if it is high, the performance increases significantly.

The defragmentation program is located: "Start" - "All Programs" - "Standard" - "System Tools". And then select "Disk Defragmenter". We indicate the required disk for defragmentation. In addition, the program analyzes the disk and can prompt the user if defragmentation is needed at the moment. And, if desired, the user sets the schedule according to which this procedure will be automatically performed.

Visual effects

The system interface includes many visual effects, which serve to create presentability, uniqueness and, in a sense, style in the appearance of the system. However, such effects have a negative impact on performance, because occupy a large volume random access memory and sometimes slow down the work. And many of the effects are subtle, so they are completely unnecessary.

In order to optimize the visual effects, you should open the "Explorer", then select the item " Extra options systems ". In the "Performance" tab, select "Parameters". Now the user has a menu open where he can control the work of visual effects.

Startup

Startup performance is very often affected by startup programs. No need to clean up startup special programs and funds. This can be done using the operating system tools. On the command line (call command line occurs when you press the WIN + R keys) enter the MSCONFIG command. So, we will run the system configuration. Go to the "Startup" item. In the list of programs that appears, you will be able to observe programs that relate to the quick launch of defragmenters, players, etc. But it is not so easy to understand them, but the intuitive disabling of any program from this list will not entail significant consequences.

If operating systems such as Windows 7.8 and later are installed on the PC, then the work of cleaning the startup is simplified. The developers have moved the "Startup" item separately in the Task Manager. The Task Manager opens with the Ctrl + Alt + Delete key combination. In the Task Manager field, you can see which processes are running right now, the name and states of the programs, along with their impact on the performance of the CPU and hard disk. You can also disable autoload here.

The step-by-step sequence of actions when cleaning through the registry looks like this:

• open the registry editor;
• open the registry tree and at the same time go to the link HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion;
• pay attention to two sections: "Run Once" and "Run" (the first sub-item indicates programs that should be launched only once, and the second - programs for autorun);
• carefully track the launch paths, names and keys that are inside some programs;
• remove unnecessary programs;
• the same thing should be repeated with the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry key;

Attention should also be paid to the fact that when you disable any program at startup (in the search for a malicious ad virus), it is quite possible to disable the antivirus. This will put the system at even greater risk.

Disable Windows Services

Many Windows services are rarely used and have little or no role to play. Accordingly, they simply interfere with the work of other, more important user programs. However, disabling them, if necessary, will increase the performance of your computer minimally, especially on devices with a lot of RAM.

When performing any system optimization procedures, it is recommended to create a system restore point in order to avoid the consequences of any unforeseen situations (for example, deleting required programs or incorrect disabling / enabling of operating system services).

To disable system services, go to: "Start" -> "Control Panel" -> (Changing the view in the control panel menu to "Small icons") select the "Administrative Tools" tab, then "Services". Then a list of services will appear, and to disable any service, double-click on it (first, the control menu for this service will open). In the "Startup type" pop-up tab, select "Manual" and "Stop". We save the changes. It should be understood that accidental disabling of the required system service can lead to its unstable work. Be extremely careful when working with this option!

Tweakers

Tweaker - interactive menu system tools in one program. Tweakers provide rights to control the most powerful and fundamental options for changing system parameters, so you need to work with them with extreme caution.

A tweaker program can usually call system errors(and serious), so the user runs it at their own peril and risk.

There are several of the most famous tweakers:

• EnhanceMySe7en Free;
• Windows 7 Little Tweaker 1.1;
• WinUtilities Free Edition;
• XdN Tweaker;
• WinBubbles Lite 2009;
• TweakNow Power Pack 2009;
• Windows 7 Manager;

We will not dwell on the description of the programs in detail, but consider the programs specialized for system optimization.

Operating system optimization programs

Advanced SystemCare - Free Set of Options

The program is a package of basic options for debugging, repairing, restoring and simply monitoring the system for any malfunctions. It is presented in two versions: paid and free. As a rule, the free version does not always work correctly, especially since it does not include all the system protection components provided by IObit. Update free version crashes on many computers, or not at all. However, in terms of functionality and form of execution in the interface, the program differs sharply from all the others for the better. Therefore, if the user is seriously interested in improving performance, it is worth using Advanced SystemCare.

Interesting fact: To download the program from the official site, you must disable the restrictions of some antivirus programs. As it turned out, the IObit site is on the list of suspicious or unwanted sites.

CCleaner is a good system cleaning tool

Ccleaner is a simple and extremely effective system cleaning and optimization program. One of the best programs in terms of reliability and breadth of use profile. It has many advantages: quick start / operation, high-quality search and removal of temporary and unnecessary system files as well as fixing registry errors is quite effective. There is also a paid and free version. However, in the free version, the loss in functionality is minimal.

Easy Cleaner helps speed up Windows

Free program for stable system operation. Her main tool is cleaning windows registry... But besides this, the program performs a wide range of optimization tasks. In practice, Easy Cleaner is a good tool that would be useful to every PC user. But the program does not always work correctly. Often failures occur when deleting files (after searching for them), the program hangs in the process of its work. On the forums, there are negative reviews and low ratings of the program.

Red Button - optimization for amateur users

Initially, the program was conceived as an easy uncomplicated solution to optimize the system for amateur users. All you have to do is press the big red button. The result will come out by itself. This is the simplicity of the program.

The latest versions of Red Button have recently been paid. There are also analogs of the program, the prices for which are now as high as possible. According to reviews, the program is not highly reliable, and there is nothing unusual in its work. Red Button is the easiest common system optimization and cleaning tool.

AusLogics BoostSpeed ​​Provide Control

information about the system (System Information) and more.

Problems arise when installing the product key. It is often removed antivirus program, or the antivirus simply does not allow you to activate the program. It is not always possible to activate the program. It is difficult to find a key, generate it.

Video: Optimizing Windows OS

In the work of a personal computer, performance plays a very important role. Sometimes even the choice of a device when buying it in a store depends only on the computer's ability to process, send, and receive information at maximum speed. And to maintain performance at the proper level, there are many ways and tools available to all users.

I will describe a large collection of tips on how to speed up your computer. 25 steps to help you deal with slow system boot.

I applied all these tips on my computers and the result was felt visually, even without measuring the speed. I hope you will not have any difficulties with completing all the steps.

Small description:

1. These tips are suitable for all operating systems in the Windows family.
2. All pictures are from the operating system Windows 7. If you have a different operating system, then look for similar items or ask your question in the comments. I will help.
3. Do not restart your computer before completing all steps. In order to save time and more benefit from all that has been done, follow all the points in the order in which they are written.
4. This article aims to maximize the speed of your computer by sacrificing the beauty and convenience of the Wiindows interface. Some advice may sound absurd.
5. On computers with weak ones, there will be a very noticeable increase in the speed of work.

Disable visual effects

These are the effects of dragging / closing / opening windows, various shadows and thumbnails for a beautiful display. Go to Start >> Control Panel >> Select Category View and click on System and Security. In this category, find:

Then a window appears in which, select the setting for visual effects.

In the window that appears, select "Best performance" as in the image:

You will notice the changes immediately. It will be a little unusual, but the computer will also be faster. Do not close this window, you will need it further.

Allocating processor time

This setting allows you to set the priority for the allocation of processor resources. In the same window as in the image above, select the "Advanced" tab and set the priority to programs, not services running in the background:

Then go to the paging file settings window.

Setting up the swap file

The paging file is used when the computer runs out of RAM.

Let the system choose the size of the paging file. Check the appropriate box.

It makes sense to set a fixed value if the disk is slow and there is little memory. In other cases, changes can only harm the system.

Optimizing your desktop

To make your computer boot up faster, remove as many shortcuts from the desktop as possible. The computer spends time calculating them. The fewer shortcuts, the faster the desktop will load when you turn on the PC.

After that, you should remove the background image and splash screen on the desktop. When loaded, the computer will not waste time calculating them.

Go to Start >> Control Panel >> Appearance and in the Screen category select "Change Desktop Background" as in the image below:

Then remove the background image and replace it with a solid color. I prefer black as it is the least eye strain due to its low brightness.

Now go back to "Appearance" and find the "Desktop Gadgets" category ( Windows XP is missing). And click on the line for deleting gadgets. Remove any gadgets you have... In fact, you do not need them, all the information presented in them is already on your computer or on the Internet.

A window appears in which to remove the splash screen. Image below:

You have sped up the computer a little, now it will not spend so much time loading shortcuts, screensavers, wallpaper and desktop widgets.

Disabling system sounds

These are well-known sounds: double click, error, warning, login, logout and others. Personally, I don't need them at all. The computer also takes time and resources to reproduce these sounds and therefore it is best to turn them off.

Go to Start >> Control Panel >> Hardware and Sound and find “Change System Sounds” there like in the picture below.

Select the sound scheme "Silent" and uncheck "Play melody Windows startup»Confirming the changes.

Change the appearance of windows

Now change appearance all windows so that they consume less computer resources and it runs faster. To do this, go to Control Panel >> Appearance >> Display >> Change Color Scheme.

Choose a classic theme.

You may not like the look and feel very strange. This topic contains the bare minimum.

Disable Windows boot screen

Press the signed key Windows + R... If it is not there: go to start and enter "run" in the search to go to the run line. In it write the command msconfig and the required window will open.

Check the box no GUI.

Now, when you turn on your computer, you will see a black screen instead of the Windows loading bar. This way you can speed up the startup of the computer.

Leave this window open and go to the next step.

Disable Cursor Graphics

To slightly increase the speed of work, you can turn off the cursor animation. Go to Start Menu >> Control Panel >> Mouse:

Then open the "Pointers" tab and remove the cursor outline as in the image below:

Setting up the video card

You will need 1 more to defragment free program from the same company as CCleaner. Download Defraggler and install it.

After running the program, select the drive and defragment.

It will take a long time, but it is very important to speed up your computer.

It's worth noting that defragmentation prolongs the health of your hard drive.

Do this operation with all your disks if there are several of them, and then proceed to the next step.

Defragmenting system files

Run the Defraggler program and select a one-time defragmentation of system files at computer startup as in the picture below:

It will be performed the next time you start your computer.

Troubleshooting Registry Issues

After all the steps to speed up your computer, you will have many errors in the registry. Use CClener to fix them.

Run the program and select the Registry >> Search for problems section.

Please note that all checkboxes must be checked.

Then click Fix >> Fix All. Repeat the search for problems until there are none. It is not necessary to make copies of the registry. For several years of work, this program has not spoiled anything in it and I have never made copies.

Using ReadyBoost technology

This technology is not available in Windows XP. In later Windows versions it is available. This technology allows you to speed up your computer thanks to the memory of the flash drive.

All you need to do is format the USB stick and connect it to your computer. Then go to My Computer and go to the properties of your flash drive.

Select the ReadyBoost tab and select "Use this device" as shown in the picture below.

Now just don't pull out your USB stick.

It is worth noting that when using this technology, the flash drive quickly wears out and deteriorates.

Not every flash drive can be suitable for, by clicking on the link you can familiarize yourself with this technology in detail.

Additionally if you have a laptop

Set up your power plan for high performance. If you use a laptop with the charger connected all the time, this will not hurt you in any way, but will only speed up your work. Go to Start and search for "Power supply" as in the image below.

Then put on high performance.

Your computer will now run fast. Write your results and questions in the comments. Thank you for the attention.

Thematic video

Did the tips for speeding up your computer in this article help you?

Good afternoon.

So that Windows does not slow down, and the number of errors is minimized - from time to time it needs to be optimized, cleaned of "junk" files, correct incorrect entries in the registry. There are, of course, built-in utilities for these purposes in Windows, but their efficiency leaves much to be desired.

Therefore, in this article I would like to consider the best programs for optimization and cleaning windows 7 (8, 10 *). By running these utilities regularly and optimizing Windows, your computer will run faster.

1) Auslogics BoostSpeed

The main window of the program.

One of the best Windows optimization software. Moreover, what immediately captivates in it is its simplicity, even at the first start, the program will immediately prompt you to scan the Windows OS and fix errors in the system. In addition, the program has been fully translated into Russian.

BoostSpeed ​​scans the system in several directions at once:

Registry errors (over time, a large number of incorrect entries may accumulate in the registry. For example, you installed the program, then uninstalled it, but the entries in the registry remained. When such entries accumulate, Windows will start to slow down);

Useless files (various temporary files that are used by programs during installation and configuration);

To the wrong labels;

Fragmented files (article about).

Also, the BootSpeed ​​complex includes several more interesting utilities: for cleaning the registry, freeing up space on the hard drive, setting up the Internet, monitoring software, etc.

2) TuneUp Utilities

This is not even just a program, but a whole complex of utilities and programs for PC maintenance: Windows optimization, its cleaning, troubleshooting and error, setting different functions... All the same, the program takes high marks in various tests for a reason.

What TuneUp Utilities can do:

• clean up disks from various "garbage": temporary files, program cache, incorrect shortcuts, etc .;
• optimize the system registry from erroneous and incorrect entries;
• will help to configure and manage Windows startup (and startup strongly affects the speed of turning on and loading Windows);
• delete confidential and personal files so that no program and no “hacker” can recover them;
• change the look of Windows beyond recognition;
• optimize RAM and much more ...

In general, for those who are not satisfied with BootSpeed, TuneUp Utilities is recommended as an analogue and a good alternative. In any case, at least one program of this kind must be regularly run when active work on Windows.

Cleaning the registry in CCleaner.

A very small utility with great capabilities! During its operation, CCleaner finds and removes most of the temporary files on the computer. Temporary files include: Cookies, history of site visits, files in the basket, etc. You can also optimize and clean the system registry from old DLLs and nonexistent paths (remaining after installing and uninstalling various applications).

By regularly launching CCleaner, you will not only free up space on your hard drive, but also make your PC work more comfortable and faster. Despite the fact that the program loses to the first two in some tests, it is trusted by thousands of users around the world.

4) Reg Organizer

One of the best registry maintenance software. Despite the fact that many Windows optimization complexes have built-in registry cleaners, they cannot compare with this program ...

Reg Organizer works in all popular Windows today: XP, Vista, 7, 8. Allows you to delete all incorrect information from the registry, remove the "tails" of programs that have not been on the PC for a long time, compress the registry, thereby increasing the speed of work.

5) Advanced SystemCare Pro

A very, very good program for optimizing and cleaning Windows. It works, by the way, in all popular versions: Windowx Xp, 7, 8, Vista (32/64 bits). The program has a pretty good arsenal:

Detection and removal of spyware from your computer;

- "repair" of the registry: cleaning, error correction, etc., compression.

Cleaning confidential information;

Removing junk, temporary files;

Automatic configuration of settings for the maximum speed of the Internet connection;

Correction of shortcuts, removal of nonexistent ones;

Defragmentation of the disk and the system registry;

Exercise automatic settings for Windows optimization and much more.

6) Revo Uninstaller

This relatively small utility will help you remove all unwanted programs from your computer. Moreover, it can do this in several ways: first, try to uninstall automatically through the installer of the uninstalled program itself, if it does not work out, there is a built-in forced mode, in which Revo Uninstaller will automatically remove all the "tails" of the program from the system.

Peculiarities:
- Easy and correct uninstallation of applications (no "tails");
- Ability to view all applications that are installed in Windows;
- New Regime"Hunter" - will help to uninstall all, even hidden, applications;
- Support for the "Drag & Drop" method;
- View and manage Windows auto-boot;
- Removing temporary and junk files from the system;
- Clearing browsers history Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Netscape;
- And much more…

Options for bundles of utilities for full Windows servicing:

1) Maximum

BootSpeed ​​(for cleaning and optimizing Windows, speeding up PC boot, etc.), Reg Organizer (for completely optimizing the registry), Revo Uninstaller (for “correct” uninstallation of applications so that the system does not have “tails” and does not have to constantly clean).

2) Optimal

TuneUp Utilities + Revo Uninstaller (optimization and Windows acceleration+ "Correct" removal of programs and applications from the system).

3) Minimum

Advanced SystemCare Pro or BootSpeed ​​or TuneUp Utilities (for cleaning and optimizing Windows time from time to time, with the appearance of unstable operation, brakes, etc.).

That's all for today. All good and fast work Windows ...

I optimize the system with various settings. But still, in some places there are still systems that need this kind of optimization, because Windows 7, to put it mildly does not fly everywhere. Yes, and on modern ones, powerful systems, this kind of action will come in handy.

So, we can step by step start such a process as optimizing windows 7, we will try to talk about all the points: starting with design and ending with disabling services. I want to say right away that the tips given here are not a panacea, and will not suit absolutely all users.

So whether to apply it or not is up to you, but I recommend it to everyone to read it.

Optimization of Windows 7 appearance

If you look at Windows decoration 7, then it looks very attractive, well, at least in comparison with the same " XP yusha ". True, after a couple of months, for me personally, it became very boring: everything seems to be good and beautiful, the windows smoothly unfold and collapse, but it is precisely because of this that it is created slowdown effect and braking system. No, Windows has quite impressive hardware resources at its disposal, but it is the abundance of animation that creates this effect. For those who are not satisfied with this effect either, I propose to install a classic theme, as for me - simple and tasteful. When this theme is installed, everything visually starts to work much faster, given the fact that there is practically no extra "tracing" left. And on weak systems, disabling Aero (the beautiful Win 7 graphical interface) will give an unprecedented performance boost.

For those who do not at all like the classic theme and do not want to remember the old woman 98, I propose an alternative in the form of "Windows 7 - simplified style" (Fig. 1). I would call this theme a compromise between the classic design and the most saturated with various animation effects.

Also, if we continue the conversation regarding the optimization of windows 7, namely the design, then you can customize it more subtly. This method was very often used when tuning and optimizing Win XP. You need to go to: Start => Control Panel => System and Security => System => Advanced System Settings => In the "Performance" section, select "Settings".

The window "Performance parameters" will open in front of you (Fig. 2) In this window, you can customize each of the design parameters in more detail.

Fig. 2

So we figured out a little about the design. Here, again, everyone decides for himself what he needs from the system: different "niceties" or a strict working style. Now let's move on to the next step of our "grandiose" optimization of windows 7.

Optimizing the hard drive in Win 7

1. Hard disk optimization options were enabled by default in Windows Xp, but for some reason these options were disabled in Windows 7. I suggest enabling them to provide more performance.

To do this, go to: Start => Control Panel => Device Manager. In the device manager window, select Disk devices and right-click on the item where the name is indicated hard disk, and select "Properties". Then, in the window that opens, go to the "Policy" tab and put a tick in front of the item "Disable clearing the cache buffer Windows entries for this device ”(fig. 3).

2. Also, in the device manager, in the IDE / ATA ATAPI controllers item, it is advisable to check all channels and set in the Additional devices tab, the Enable DMA checkbox (where this item is present) (Fig. 4)

3. Optimizing windows 7 is a rather laborious process, but this is done only once, so we continue. . For now, I suggest turning off the indexing feature for quick searches. This way we will keep overall performance since the system will not index HDD when referring to it. To do this, go to My Computer, then right-click and go to the properties of the local disk. Then, in the properties window, you need to go to the general tab and uncheck the box next to the item "Allow indexing the contents of files on this disk in addition to file properties". After all these actions, you press the "Apply" button, and you will see a window as in Fig.5. Click OK.

Optimizing services (disabling unnecessary ones) in Windows 7

We now turn to Windows Services. Services in Windows are special programs that start and run without the user's knowledge, performing useful and useless actions. So some of these useless services can be disabled, because there is no need for an extra load on the system.

In order to disable any service, proceed as follows:

Start => Control Panel => Administrative Tools => Services

Here is a small list of those services that can be disabled:

• Offline files
• Network Access Protection Agent
• Adaptive brightness control
• IP Helper
• Secondary login
• Grouping network participants
• Disk Defragmenter
• Dispatcher automatic connections remote access
• Network Participant Identity Manager
• Performance Logs and Alerts
• Windows Defender (if not using the built-in antivirus)
• Secure storage
• Configuring Remote Desktop Server
• Smart Card Removal Policy
• Homegroup listener
• Network login
• Tablet PC Input Service
• Smart card
• Diagnostic Service Host

There are other services that you may not need. But this can already be found out only by an experienced method, but be careful with this.

Removing "unnecessary" from startup

I would like to remind you about this routine action. Unused programs that start automatically when Windows starts can significantly slow down the initialization time of the operating system, so it is advisable to remove these programs from autorun.

To exclude programs from startup, there are many third-party software, but in this case we are implementing it using built-in Windows tools.

To do this, we press the key combination Win + R, and in the window that opens, enter msconfig. A window appears in front of our eyes as in Fig. 6, immediately go to the Startup tab. Now you just need to uncheck the boxes in front of those programs that are not "vital" for you.

That's it, windows 7 optimization is over. With the above simple actions, we slightly accelerated our system. For cleaning the operating system, there are many third-party software, but this is a topic for another article. Until then :)
