Are you dreaming to fix your slow computer instantly at startup up? Just follow the simple guidelines here, then you can easily say goodbye to slow computer startup.
First of all, let's have a glance at what will result in slow computer startup if it is not infected by viruses:
1. Too many startup items.
2. Too fragmented hard drive.
3. Too corrupted registry.
So here is what you should do to fix a slow computer at startup:
1. Limit the startup programs.
The fewer programs run at Windows startup, the faster startup speed you will get because of the sufficient system resources/ memory. Please go to Start, run and type "msconfig" in the box and press "Enter" to access System Configuration Utility, and the uncheck the programs that you do not want to load when starting up the computer. Normally, only to keep an input and an anti-virus program is enough.
2. Defragment your hard drive at a regular basis.
No matter when we using the computer or the program, it will recall some related data from the system. If the hard drive is too fragmented like a messy warehouse, it will be difficult for the hard disk head to reach what it what. So please belittle the powerful function of a disk defragmentation - rearrange the files in order on the hard drive and run it at least once a week. By the way, it is recommended that you should run a disk cleanup and Error Scan before.
3. Fix registry errors.
The slow startup computer may be caused by congestion in the Windows registry which contains the commands to all your startup programs/ files. When it is corrupted or full of useless information, it will become the main cause to a slow startup. Do not let go of a registry cleanup when trying to get faster startup speed.
By insisting doing the three tips above, slow computer startup will not come to you again. If you find that your computer still runs slowly at startup, it is highly recommended that you should go registry care site for more information!
