Do not rush to buy new computer, if home computer or the laptop began to slow down. Try optimizing Windows 7 to improve device performance. Optimization can be carried out using standard tools or third-party programs.
Ways to Improve Windows 7 Performance
Computer performance - a value that characterizes the speed of operations. The Windows 7 operating system displays it in the form of an index from 1 to 10 - the higher the number, the faster the computer runs. To view the performance value, open the Control Panel and select the "Counters and Means of Performance" item. Estimating the speed of the computer, use standard methods speed up work.
Removing unused programs
Start acceleration with cleaning hard drive - manually erase from memory unnecessary programs. Open the Control Panel and select "Uninstall a program." In turn, select the applications that you are not using, and for each click the "Delete" button. Be careful - do not accidentally erase programs that are responsible for the operation of the system (sound, video drivers, programs for working with Bluetooth, webcam, and others).
You can find out what the application is responsible for by typing its name in the search engine.
Removing programs using the system control panel
Hard disk cleaning and defragmentation
After manual removal clean programs hDD from unnecessary files, and then defragment.
When writing to a hard disk, files are split into parts. When a user deletes a program or document, free disk space is created, which is occupied by fragments of a new file. To run a file, the system collects it in fragments from different parts of the disk, which slows down. Defragmentation - combining fragments of each file.
To defragment, go to "My Computer", select any disk and right-click on it. In the pop-up menu, select "Properties". Open the “Service” tab and click “Defragment”. At the end of the procedure, restart the computer.
Marked in red hard sectors disk requiring defragmentation
Setting visual effects
When defragmentation does not help, move on to drastic measures. By default, visual effects are activated in Windows 7: smooth transitions, animation when opening windows, and others. On low-power computers, they reduce performance.
Standard Windows Counters for Performance Measurement
To optimize system performance in the Start menu search, enter “Visual Effects”. Open the "Customize performance and performance." Set the marker near the item "Ensure performance" and uncheck all the "checkmarks". Then tick off the items:
- smoothing out bumps in fonts;
- enable desktop composition;
- use styles of windows and buttons;
- display thumbnails.
Click the Apply button and restart the computer.
Startup programs at Windows startup
There is a set of programs that automatically open when booting windows 7. To speed up the system, turn off autorun. Open the "Start" menu - "All Programs" - "Startup". Remove the programs for which you want to disable autorun from the opened folder.
To exclude a program from the startup list, delete it from the corresponding folder
Delete data from the registry
Registry - base windows data with information about installed applications, user settings and actions. After removing programs or games, entries remain in it, and a crowded registry slows down the system. Use the CCleaner program or similar for cleaning.
Disabling Windows Services
By default, Windows runs services that are unnecessary for users. To disable services, open and immediately close the programs you use. Open "Start - Control Panel - Administrative Tools". Click the Services tab. Uncheck the checkboxes for those services that have the word “Stopped” next to them.

Computer performance depends on the power of hardware components, and on properly configured work operating system. It is of little use to increase the amount of RAM if it is clogged with useless programs. A powerful processor will not speed up if it is limited to save battery power. Fine-tuning Windows can significantly optimize the system without additional material costs.
What affects system performance
The performance of Windows 7 is determined by many factors, one of which is the result of a compromise between power, convenience and battery consumption, and the other depends on the "well-groomed" computer. Therefore, to increase performance, it is necessary to tune the system to maximum performance and remove all obstacles to its normal operation.
Perhaps an experienced user will want to independently debug each element of the system and configure the computer to fit their needs. For the rest, the best solution would be to use special programs for fine-tuning the system (tweakers), which in a convenient and understandable way show problems and help to fix them.
Optimization programs (free and paid)
There are many programs on the market whose main purpose is to improve the operation of Windows 7. There are universal large applications and small specialized utilities, programs with many customizable options and with one “red button”. Most programs have additional functions that are not directly related to speed, but also important for the user, for example, protection of personal data.

If we talk about the good work of a computer system, it is worth noting that, along with computer diagnostic programs, free computer optimization programs, which are most often called tweakers, have become very widespread. Computer optimization is very important! It is computer optimization that determines the speed of the computer itself and the durability of the system. You can download free application data for optimizing your computer on our website in this section. Our computer optimization programs, which you can download for free, will help optimize your computer at a professional level. Utilities for optimizing your computer, which can be downloaded for free here, allow you to fine-tune many of the parameters of the Windows system, provide versatile error correction and a fairly high degree of increase speed. Download software to optimize the system - the most correct and logical solution.
Among the optimizers that can be downloaded for free on our website, you can find many specialized utilities or entire software packages that combine all the features of tweakers created for a particular task. Each file that you decide to download for free has been thoroughly tested, so deciding to download something from us, you can not worry about security.
If we talk about what constitutes optimization of the computer and Windows, then it is absolutely impossible to give an unambiguous definition. This is due primarily to the fact that there are a lot of directions in the processes of optimizing Windows. Therefore, an inexperienced user may wonder what exactly to download for optimization. This includes anti-virus protection, ensuring the confidentiality of information, fixing errors in the Windows registry, optimizing Internet connection settings, deleting unnecessary files or duplicates, installing the most fresh versions device drivers, disk defragmentation, cleaning up traces of work on the World Wide Web with the removal of temporary files and much more. To solve each of these problems, there is software that can be downloaded for free on our website.
A modern computer or laptop with Windows operating system on board refers to such a type of device that even with careful installation of uninstalling programs, staying on the World Wide Web, or a desire to download certain files, an unnecessary amount of information is accumulated and errors occur, resulting in the whole Windows system starts to slow down over time. Speed \u200b\u200bup its work and designed programs to optimize the computer. Most software packages, which include cleaning and optimization of a computer, are distributed quite freely; you can download such applications for free anywhere. Our section allows each user to download such software. Moreover, most of them have several main categories and criteria by which the computer is optimized. To study in detail all the products most optimally of all, having previously downloaded them and having tried all the functions in practice.
First of all, it is necessary to note the optimization and defragmentation of the Windows registry. And for these purposes you can download the necessary software for free in this section! Often, precisely because of the presence of incorrect and outdated entries in it, as well as a lot of errors, the system itself requires much more time to download or launch a particular software component. Along the way, it is worth noting the management of startup items and background services. Windows startup can also take quite a while if there are too many services, not to mention those processes that are constantly in the computer’s memory and not visible to the user. Also speeds up access to commonly used programs and defragmentation hard drives, allowing you to move such files to the fastest areas of the hard drive.
As for the Internet connection, traces of work and the presence of temporary files, the optimization allows to achieve the installation of optimal parameters, excluding fast boot recently visited pages and the transfer of information, say, in your search queries to the corresponding servers of these services. Well, with antivirus software and its role in optimizing the system, perhaps everything is clear.
As mentioned above, many programs for optimizing Windows and a computer can be downloaded for free. On our website in the appropriate section are presented top programs to optimize your computer. As for the Internet, many users use “queries to optimize the computer’s performance,” “free programs to optimize the computer,” “download programs to optimize the computer,” “free programs to optimize the computer,” and “download the optimization program for free” for searches computer ”,“ cleaning and optimizing a computer ”,“ optimizing a computer’s work for free ”or“ optimization and cleaning programs for a computer ”. In the search results, you can see not only the software products for optimization themselves, but also some descriptive articles explaining the basics of working with such utilities, and, of course, download free products for optimizing your computer and its system (often Windows). But in most cases, the tweakers you decide to download for free automatically have an operating mode, although for advanced users there is a special advanced settings mode, usually called Advanced. We offer you a wide selection of utilities for optimizing the system, each of which can be downloaded for free. Choosing a product for system optimization, you can safely make the decision to download it, since all software, including computer optimization, undergoes a thorough anti-virus scan and is completely safe, unlike many files that offer to download questionable sites.
Optimization of Windows 7 allows the user to achieve the best performance indicators. We can say that you need to do this regularly if you do not want your computer to slow down or various errors appear during its operation. There are a number of paid and free programs to optimize the system.
What affects system performance
The answer to this question may seem quite obvious to some - components personal computer. Indeed, the more powerful your CPU and graphics card will be, the more RAM will be installed, the better the machine will work. Even the most modern hardware is not a guarantee that you will not have to face problems in your PC. So even a modern computer should not be cluttered with games and programs.
Aero GUI
With the advent of the operating system Windows Vista Microsoft has begun introducing an additional desktop GUI called Aero in future versions of the OS. It puts a big load on the computer, especially if the system resources of the device are close to minimal. Each user, if necessary, can disable this interface to optimize the PC. Those who wish can disable only certain interface elements. This will optimize the performance of the device and at the same time leave appearance windows the same.
The more Aero interface options are disabled, the more noticeable it becomes from a visual point of view. But on the other hand, computer performance improves.
For a beautiful desktop design in Windows, you have to pay for PC performance Hidden processes
Some users, especially beginners, are not aware that not all running processes are displayed as active windows. Most of them are hidden and can affect RAM, which reduces performance. If you disconnect unnecessary services, you can free up a considerable amount of memory, thereby optimizing the operation of the device.
Remember that disabling important system services can lead to problems, and in this case you will not achieve a positive result. Create a system restore point in advance, so that in case of trouble, return to working windows state. Without harming the system, you can disable the following services:
- “Service entry Tablet PC” (Service entry Tablet PC);
- “Supporting IP Service” (Support IP Service);
- “Remote registry”.
The computer needs to be cleaned of temporary and unnecessary files
Even after removing the program from the computer, information remains from it. When we install the application, the information about it is recorded in RAM, in additional elements of the hard disk and in the registry. Defragment your disk regularly. Defragmentation is the process of composing data. Subsequently, the computer will be easier to access the required information, since it will already know where and what is. Experts recommend resorting to this procedure at least once a month. Regular disk defragmentation will significantly increase performance, especially if you often reinstall programs. If the hard drive is voluminous and there is a lot of data on it, then defragmentation can take a long time, so be patient.
As mentioned above, when installing programs, information about them is recorded in system registry. It stores a huge amount of data on the PC configuration, settings and parameters. Naturally, if you do not regularly clean the registry, this can lead to crashes during operation, errors and performance degradation in general. Experts recommend not doing anything in the registry manually, since you can accidentally delete important system data, and this will lead to bad consequences. It is advisable to use special software (CCleaner, Wise Registry Cleaner, etc.) and use it to remove all garbage. Such utilities analyze the registry and list its problem areas. You can mark only what you consider unnecessary, and leave the rest as it was.
After installation, many programs and applications are automatically registered in the list of tasks that need to be run immediately after turning on the PC - in startup. The user does not even see many of them, but each such software consumes the computer system resources to a certain extent.
Remember that in no case should you disable those programs and utilities that are running by the system itself. You can recognize them easily by looking at the location of the exe file. If you see the \\ system32 folder, then do not disconnect the application.
These simple manipulations will help improve computer performance and optimize its performance. If you worry that you can remove some important system file, then use special programs.
Good programs to optimize Windows 7 and improve performance
Many of the programs presented below are able to do something that will help the user significantly increase the efficiency of a stationary computer or laptop. Remember that you should not install several applications for optimization on the PC at once, since in this case you still won’t get the best result, and the PC will work even worse. Thus, if you did not like one of the applications, then completely delete it and only after that start installing another program. Learn the pros and cons of all the applications described and choose the one that suits you and your car.
It is also worth immediately mentioning a different kind of program - this is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, an anti-virus utility that can save a computer from worms and other malicious programs that also eat a lot of resources.
Advanced systemcare
Advanced SystemCare offers you a whole arsenal of tools to optimize Windows 7
This program has a very simple, nice interface. The utility is distributed in two versions - one paid, and the other not. Accordingly, their capabilities are slightly different. In the paid one there are more tools to improve the performance of the computer, but, as practice shows, not all of them can guarantee a good result. Therefore, you can download and install a simple, free version of the program. This is enough for you to get started.
SystemCare works on all modern Microsoft operating systems, including Windows 7. With its help, you can:
- perform manipulations on the system registry;
- delete temporary unnecessary files;
- fix shortcuts and delete unused ones;
- perform defragmentation of the hard drive;
- clean the system registry.
The improved version additionally allows you to analyze information from the hard drive, check files for malicious content and delete it.
If during the installation of SystemCare you select the “Full installation” mode, then Satellite Privacy will also penetrate your computer. Pay attention to this and rearrange the point on the "Custom installation". Perhaps this is the only minus, but in everything else SystemCare is really good and shows excellent optimization results.
Ccleaner
CCleaner is one of the very first computer optimization programs. The utility has a nice and intuitive interface, respectively, suitable for beginners and professional users.
Among its advantages can be noted:

CCleaner can clean the registry, browsers, explorer data and unnecessary data of the system itself The program is free, so anyone can easily find it on the open spaces of the network and download it from the official website of the developers. After installation and launch in the menu on the left you will see only 4 buttons:
- “Cleaning” - allows you to analyze the system for the presence of unnecessary and outdated files and eliminate the problems found;
- "Registry" - provides the user with the opportunity to analyze the status of the system registry. If any unused data is stored in it or there are errors, then the program will display all this, and you can delete them. If you worry that by mistake you remove something important, CCleaner will clarify with you: “Do I need to create backup registry? ";
- “Service” is a very useful section, because here you can do everything to achieve the best performance of the device. It is possible to remove installed programs (a kind of alternative to the standard Windows 7 “Programs and Features” standard service). There are also options for changing the settings of startup programs and tools to completely clean the disk
- “Settings” is the settings section of the CCleaner program itself (namely, the settings of the program, not the system optimization options).
CCleaner is a good free utility with a lot of features and Russian localization.
