Windows 11 brings a sleek interface and improved performance, but over time, your system may start to slow down. If your PC is lagging, there are several ways to boost its speed and optimize performance.
1. Disable Startup Programs
Too many startup programs can slow down boot times. To disable unnecessary programs:
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager
- Go to the Startup tab
- Disable any apps you don’t need at startup
2. Uninstall Unnecessary Apps
Remove apps that you don’t use to free up space and system resources:
- Open Settings > Apps > Installed apps
- Click on the unwanted app and select Uninstall
3. Adjust Performance Settings
Windows 11’s visual effects can slow down performance. To optimize:
- Press Win + R, type
sysdm.cpl, and press Enter - Go to Advanced > Performance > Settings
- Select Adjust for best performance or manually disable effects
4. Disable Background Apps
Certain apps run in the background, consuming memory. To turn them off:
- Open Settings > Apps > Installed apps
- Click the three dots on an app and choose Advanced Options
- Set Background app permissions to Never
5. Enable Storage Sense
Storage Sense automatically cleans up temporary files:
- Open Settings > System > Storage
- Turn on Storage Sense
6. Update Windows and Drivers
Ensure Windows and drivers are up to date for optimal performance:
- Open Settings > Windows Update and check for updates
By applying these tweaks, you can make Windows 11 run significantly faster and smoother.
