Are you starting work 5 minutes early just to allow time for your crusty old laptop to turn on? Frustrating!
Slow technology is the bane of time-poor business owners, costing you precious resources. Thankfully, there is a solution.
5 Ways to Speed Up Your Computer’s Loading Time
- Limit Start Up Tasks
How many tabs do you have to close when your computer first loads up?
- One?
- Three?
- Five?
Some software applications are programmed to open as your computer turns on, making it work harder to get started.
To address this, access the Task Manager through your search bar, head to the “Startup Apps” tab and start disabling those pesky nuisances.
- Uninstall Old Programs
While you’re using the Task Manager, you should conduct a little investigation. Are there any old software programmes running in the background that you no longer need?
Although you might have cancelled the subscription to your old software services, that doesn’t mean they aren’t still taking up space on your computer. It’s time for a clear out!
- Scan for Malware
Malware is one of the main causes of a slow-loading computer. If your antivirus is not set up properly, it won’t scan your files automatically. You’ll need to manually order it to do a sweep of your computer and check for any issues. When viruses are left unchecked, a serious data leak may occur.
- Upgrade Your Hardware
While you might hope that the issue affecting your computer is free to fix, this isn’t always the case. It might simply be that your physical technology has become outdated, causing it to struggle with the latest software updates. In this instance, you should start saving up for some new equipment. We can help you find suitable upgrades according to your budget.
