What tasks can I disable or turn off to optimize the speed of my PC?

1. Disable unnecessary startup programs: Limit the number of applications that start up when you boot your computer by disabling any unnecessary programs.

2. Clean up disk space: Delete unneeded files and apps, and empty your recycle bin.

3. Defragment your hard drive: Over time, your hard drive can become fragmented, which can slow down its performance. Run Disk Defragmenter to help reorganize your hard drive for optimal performance.

4. Update drivers: Make sure you’re running the latest device drivers to ensure your hardware is running as efficiently as possible.

5. Disable visual effects: To increase the speed of your Windows PC, turn off any unnecessary visual effects.

6. Stop running background applications: Close any applications you’re no longer using.

7. Change power settings: By default, Windows might be set to a “balanced” power plan, but switching to a “high performance” setting can give you a speed boost.
