Tips to make a computer run more smoothly

The spinning color wheel on a computer screen is an unwelcome sight. It tends to appear at those moments when users are busy or staring at deadlines. Some computers experience diminished performance due to age, but oftentimes users have options other than replacement when their devices aren't running smoothly.

Turn off automatic startups. The more applications that are running at a given time, the slower a computer is likely to perform. And users may not realize just how many apps are running on their computers at one time. Many apps may be starting automatically whenever a user restarts his or her computer, and these programs could be running in the background. Individuals who suspect this might be why their devices are operating inefficiently can go into their application settings and turn off automatic startups, particularly with apps they rarely use.
