Faster Start Up

Start Up Faster

Auto running programs are the biggest reason for slow computers. So the first thing that I like to do is to take a look at what is starting up when you turn your computer on.

This is a handy program that I like to use. It’s called Autoruns, and it’s free. You can find it here on the Microsoft Tech Net site. It’s there some where. You can find all kinds of good free utilities on that site. But all you need for now is the auto run program.

After you down load that it’s time to get rid of some junk! Before you run autoruns, we are going to go through your programs and get rid of the useless ones. You know, all the trial stuff thats expired! All the games you never play. All that kind of stuff.

Ok, you got rid of all that junk and you restarted your computer. Now run autoruns. Take a look at whats starting up when you turn your computer on. Most of it is needed. But a bunch isn’t. Just uncheck the box next to what you don’t want to start up. The programs that you stop will start if they are needed.

Your computer should run much faster now. If it doesn’t, get a new one.

Thanks for stopping by.
