Windows Startup

Slow startup is one of the most common windows problems faced by many computer users. During windows startup, the startup programs load into the RAM. The more the number of startup programs designated to be loaded at windows startup, the longer it will take your computer to begin responding to you after boot up. Besides this, since the startup programs reside in RAM after they are loaded at windows startup, they occupy your computer resources and make your computer slow.

Startup programs are basically meant for providing the feature of speeding up application startup. This means that those programs which load at windows startup will be opened more quickly when you launch them. Besides this, security software like antivirus and firewalls are also startup programs and they run in the background. Some software updater items are also loaded into RAM at windows startup and keep updating the concerning program in the background, while consuming your network bandwidth, hence slowing down the connection speed as well. Not all startup programs are worth launching at windows startup.

Fix Slow Computer Browsing

You may be experiencing a little delay in browsing the files on your computer when you open folders. To fix this problem disable the function “Automatically search for network folders and printers”.

This feature searches for shared printers and folders on your network every time you open a folder in windows explorer, thus making computer slow.

This function is useful only if your PC is part of a network that allows you to use a resource such as an online printer or a shared network folder.
