A slow, laggy laptop is a common problem for many people. It can bring a detrimental effect to our lives, holding us down from being productive, unable to work, do tasks, etc. On this occasion, Dunia Games would like to share some tips on how to fix a slow PC. So, without further ado, let’s get into it.
1. Uninstall Any Unnecessary Program
Sometimes, you may not be aware that you are installing programs that you don’t need while you’re trying to install another software. Therefore, it’s important to read the instructions during installing a program.
Tick off any unwanted programs, as they will take up spaces in your RAM. If you notice some programs that you no longer need, then consider uninstalling them. Why? Because, having too many programs can take up lots of space in your hard disk, which makes it harder to read all the files -- especially if you’re still using an HDD instead of an SSD.
2. Use Antivirus
Viruses can be the cause of why your laptop is unbearably slow and not performing well. Installing and using Antivirus can be an effective way to fix a slow PC. The reason being, there’s a chance that a virus is causing a slump in your PC’s performance, especially if it’s silently mining your files -- your hardware might be damaged because of it.
Most antiviruses require their users to subscribe. You might have to spend some money to get rid of viruses, yet it’s definitely worthy to prolong your PC’s life.
3. Disable Some Startup Programs
When you turn on your laptop, do you often find some programs running by themselves? Some programs that you usually find running during startup are Spotify, antivirus, Steam, and other programs that you can find on the tray button.
Here’s how to check your startup programs:
- Go to "Search";
- Type in "msconfig".
- Go to "Startup", and look for enabled programs;
- Choose which programs you want to disable.

4. Use Booster Programs
Some programs offer great functions that allow you to clean up your laptop. It’s one of the best ways to fix a slow laptop. Some of the most recommended apps are CCleaner, Razer Game Booster, and IObit Advanced System Care.
Although some of them are available for free, you can get better services to further boost the performance of your laptop by subscribing.
5. Increase Your RAM Capacity
Last but not least, you can add more memory (RAM). It’s possible that you have too many programs running that your RAM can no longer accommodate it. If this is the case for you, then the solution will be to increase your RAM capacity.
The bigger your RAM capacity is, the more programs you can have running. It’s a perfect way to boost your PC performance if you’re an office worker who relies on multitasking.
So, those are some of the best ways to fix a slow PC/laptop. Stick around for more tech info, and make sure to follow Dunia Games on Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates.
