Or just type Programs in the Cortana search box next to the Start button. You can usually find the culprits by sorting the list of installed apps on the name of your PC maker. Other good options are to sort by Recent to see if there are any programs you didn't know you installed; or by Size, to get rid of very large items you don't need. When you've found junk apps you don't want, simply select them and click Uninstall.
Unfortunately, you can only remove one at a time, so set aside a half hour or so for this project if you have a bunch of bloatware. Don't forget to take the hatchet to apps you installed yourself but no longer want, and for software you don't want that was installed alongside software you did want. Keep in mind, with Windows 10 there are two kinds of applications, traditional desktop ones and modern Windows Store apps.
But for non-Store apps, Control Panel opens, where you can uninstall good old desktop programs. In either, you can sort by size, date installed, or name, or search for a particular app. One reason removing apps helps performance is that many programs load processes at boot time and take up valuable RAM and CPU cycles. While you're in the Programs and Features section of Control, you can also click Turn Windows Features On or Off and scan the list to see if there's anything you don't use.
As mentioned in the last entry, a lot of programs install side processes that run every time you start your PC, and some of them are not things you need running on your system all the time. Switch to the Startup tab, and you'll see all the programs that load at Windows startup.
The dialog box even has a column that shows you the Startup impact for each. The Status column shows whether the program is enabled to run at startup or not. You can right-click on any entry to change this status. It's usually fairly easy to see things you don't want to run. For example, if you never use iTunes, you probably don't need iTunesHelper running all the time.
From the Start menu, type Disk Cleanup. This opens the trusty Disk Cleanup utility that's been part of Windows for several generations of the OS. Disk Cleanup finds unwanted junk such as temporary files, offline Web pages, and installer files on your PC and offers to delete them all at once.
You may even find that your Recycle Bin is bulging at the seams. This will generally only have a noticeable effect on speed if your drive is getting close to full, however. If you don't have disk defragmentation scheduled regularly, set that up in the Optimize Drives tool, which you can find by typing its name in the Cortana search box next to the Start button. Note that if your main disk is an SSD, then you needn't bother with defragging, since there aren't any moving parts reading the disk.
An even newer way to keep storage use is by enabling the Storage Sense option see image above. This automatically frees up space by removing temporary files and Recycle Bin items.
Windows 10 manages memory more efficiently than earlier versions of the OS, but more memory always can potentially speed up PC operations. Gaming and business laptops often still allow RAM upgrades, but that's becoming more rare. The new, slimmer ultrabooks and convertibles are usually fixed. If you still use a desktop tower, this article can show you how to add RAM. Not does Windows startup benefit, but loading and using demanding applications such as Adobe Photoshop happens much faster with an SSD.
For system speedup, it makes sense to replace your internal startup hard drive, and if you use a laptop, this may also be an option. We found out the expiry date for NetBalancer 9. The NetBalancer service will run but not function correctly. This tool tricks NetBalancer into thinking the date is on launch and will run every time you open NetBalancer.
Download the NetBalancer scripts. There are three scripts in the archive but you only need to use the one that matches the date format of your system clock. Place the script and included shortcuts in the RunAsDate folder. Download NetBalancer 9.
Right click on the batch script and run as administrator. If you do that, run the included shortcut to open the window again.
To use the tray network monitor, run the script then the tray shortcut that came with the script. Note that if traffic data in the main window or tray display disappear, restart the service using the batch script.
This is part of the date issue for the service and does happen from time to time. The only real difference from cFosSpeed itself is each vendor has its own custom UI skins.
Instead, it prioritizes internet traffic so important programs can have a higher priority. There are hundreds of built-in presets for different types of programs.
For example, VOIP and streaming software is set to a higher priority along with many games. Other software like P2P clients, download managers and game portals Steam, Origin etc are set lower. Most functions are controlled from the tray icon, double click the icon to open a network activity monitor. The Preferences window also has an overall download and upload limit for the connection.
To change priorities on the fly, select Current Connections from the tray menu. A browser window will open with a list of connections, use the plus and minus buttons to adjust the priority. For more precise usage click the Advanced link. This window splits the connections, so for instance, you could change the priority of a single download in your browser.
Click on it and adjust using the slider. However, there are ways to force it to install on any computer, giving you the full but slightly older cFosSpeed software. If you have an ASRock motherboard, the program can be installed without the steps below. DO NOT close this box. Click OK to close the Cannot install message box. Launch the installer by double clicking Setup. For convenience, you can skip steps 4 and 5 and download the modified Install. It does not work in any version of Windows 10 or any bit operating system but will work in Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8.
