Have you ever been in a situation where you suddenly feel like you're using your computer, whether it's opening an app, browsing the web, or doing anything else, it's unusually slow? Not only will this affect your productivity, but it can also make you feel irritated and dissatisfied. What is the reason why my computer is running slowly?And how do we solve this problem?

As time increases, the computer's hardware devices (such as CPU, memory, and hard disks) will gradually age, and the performance will gradually deteriorate, resulting in the computer running slower. A lot of software is constantly updated to provide new features and fix bugs, but sometimes these updates cause the software to become more resource-intensive, resulting in a slow system. If your PC is infected with viruses or malware, they can take up system resources, interfere with your system's normal operation, and cause your PC to run slowly. Many applications run automatically at startup, and if there are too many startup items, they can take up a lot of system resources, causing your PC to boot up and run slower. If the system is not properly configured, such as having too many services or programs enabled, it can also cause the system to run slowly.

If you don't have enough space on your hard drive, your system may run slowly, so you can use the disk cleanup tool that comes with your system or a third-party cleanup software to clear up your hard drive space. If the hardware is seriously aged, you can consider upgrading the hardware, such as adding memory, replacing hard disks or CPUs, etc. For some resource-intensive applications, you can try closing or uninstalling them, or use system optimization software to optimize system performance. If your computer is infected with viruses or malware, you can use antivirus software to check and kill them to free up used system resources. For issues with improper system configuration, you can try optimizing your system settings, such as disabling unnecessary services or programs.

Temporary and junk files can be cleaned up using the system's built-in disk cleanup tool. This tool can help us find and delete unnecessary files and free up space on our hard drive. According to the data, cleaning temporary and junk files can speed up your computer by at least 10%.
