Free up disk space with Disk Cleanup<\/h2>\n<p>No matter which version of Windows you\u2019re using, one of the best ways to speed up your computer is to free up disk space. Over time, your hard drive can fill up with files you no longer need, and this can slow down your computer significantly.<\/p>\n<p>To free up some space you can use Windows built-in Disk Cleanup tool to delete temporary files and system files from your device.<\/p>\n<p>To free up space with Disk Cleanup, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the <strong>Start menu<\/strong> and type <code>Disk Cleanup<\/code> into the search bar.<\/li>\n<li>Click on \u201c<strong>Disk Cleanup<\/strong>\u201d when it appears in the search results.<\/li>\n<li>Check the boxes next to the types of files you want to delete and click \u201c<strong>OK<\/strong>\u201c.<\/li>\n<li>Click \u201c<strong>Delete Files<\/strong>\u201d when prompted and wait for the process to finish.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/speed-up-windows-11\/01-delete-files.jpg\" alt=\"delete files\" width=\"1500\" height=\"885\"><\/figure>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve freed up some space on your hard drive, your computer should be running a bit faster.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to get rid of even more files, you can also use the Storage Sense feature in Windows 11. You can learn about it in the following.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Turn on Storage Sense<\/h2>\n<p>Windows 11 includes a new function called Storage Sense that helps you automatically delete temporary files and other unneeded files to save space. This is a great way to keep your computer running fast without having to do any work.<\/p>\n<p>To turn on Storage Sense, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the <strong>Start menu<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Go to <strong>Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>System<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Click on \u201c<strong>Storage<\/strong>\u201d in the left sidebar.<\/li>\n<li>After that, you can see the \u201c<strong>Storage Sense<\/strong>\u201d section on the screen.<\/li>\n<li>Turn on \u201c<strong>Storage Sense<\/strong>\u201d by clicking the switch next to it.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/speed-up-windows-11\/02-storage-sense.jpg\" alt=\"storage sense\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1492\"><\/figure>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now that Storage Sense is turned on, your computer will automatically delete temporary files and other unneeded files to free up space. We recommend setting Storage Sense to run automatically at least once a week.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we\u2019ll show you how to disable some of the features in Windows 11 that you don\u2019t use and don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Disable auto-startup programs and apps<\/h2>\n<p>When you turn on your computer, there are a lot of programs and apps that start running in the background. Some of these programs are essential for your computer to function properly, but others are just taking up resources and slowing down your startup time. You can see which programs are set to start automatically by opening the Task Manager.<\/p>\n<p>To open task manager and disable startup programs\/apps, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Press the <span class=\"key\">Ctrl<\/span> + <span class=\"key\">Shift<\/span> + <span class=\"key\">Esc<\/span> keys on your keyboard. Besides, you can also find the Task Manager by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting \u201c<strong>Task Manager<\/strong>\u201d from the menu.<\/li>\n<li>When the Task Manager menu displays, select <strong>More details<\/strong> from the drop-down menu.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/speed-up-windows-11\/03-more-details.jpg\" alt=\"more details\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1484\"><\/figure>\n<li>Now go to the <strong>Startup<\/strong> tab and look for the apps that can be disabled.<\/li>\n<li>Right-click on the programme you want to disable and choose <strong>Disable<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat this process for any other programs you want to disable.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/speed-up-windows-11\/04-disable.jpg\" alt=\"disable\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1334\"><\/figure>\n<\/ol>\n<p>By disabling the programs and apps you don\u2019t need, you can speed up your computer\u2019s startup time and performance.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Modify Windows 11 Performance settings<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re running Windows 11 on a computer that just meets the minimal hardware requirements, there are a few performance settings that are carefully concealed but could make a big impact on the PC\u2019s responsiveness.<\/p>\n<p>To access these settings<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the <strong>Control Panel<\/strong> and then search for <code>performance<\/code> using the Search Control Panel bar in the top-right corner of that window. <\/li>\n<li> Click on \u2018<strong>Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows<\/strong>\u2018.<\/li>\n<li> In the window that appears, go to the <strong>Visual Effects<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n<li> From there, you can either select \u2018<strong>Adjust for best performance<\/strong>\u2018, which will disable all visual effects, or click the <strong>\u2018Custom\u2019<\/strong> radio button and selectively turn off any visual effect that you don\u2019t want. <\/li>\n<li> Besides, there are other two options like \u2018<strong>Let Windows choose what\u2019s best for my computer<\/strong>\u2018 and \u2018<strong>Adjust for best appearance<\/strong>.\u2019 The first one is recommended if you don\u2019t know which visual effect to turn off, while the second one should be chosen if your computer meets the minimum hardware requirements. <\/li>\n<li> After making your changes, click on <strong>\u2018Apply\u2019<\/strong> and then <strong>\u2018OK\u2019<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/speed-up-windows-11\/05-apply-and-ok.jpg\" alt=\"apply and ok \" width=\"1500\" height=\"950\"><\/figure>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>5. Defragment memory<\/h2>\n<p>Another way to speed up your computer is by defragmenting your memory. Since your computer accesses files in different ways, over time, these files can become scattered across your hard drive. When this happens, it takes longer for your computer to access the files it needs.<\/p>\n<p>Defragmenting your memory helps to fix this problem by organizing your files so that they are all in one place. You can defragment your memory by using these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the <strong>Start menu<\/strong>, type <code>Defragment & Optimize Drives<\/code> into the search bar, and select the best match.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/speed-up-windows-11\/06-defrag.jpg\" alt=\"defrag\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1409\"><\/figure>\n<li>Select your primary drive from the list of drives and click the <strong>Optimize<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/speed-up-windows-11\/07-optimize.jpg\" alt=\"optimize\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1253\"><\/figure>\n<li>Wait for the operation to finish before repeating the preceding steps with the remaining drives.<\/li>\n<li>After you\u2019ve defragmented the drives, restart your computer to apply the changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You should defragment your memory at least once a month to keep your computer running smoothly.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Disable notifications <\/h2>\n<p>You might not know this, but Windows 11 can be quite annoying with the number of notifications it sends. Notifications can pop up for everything from new emails to updates for your apps. While some of these notifications might be useful, most of them are just a distraction.<\/p>\n<p>To disable notifications in Windows 11, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the Settings app by pressing the <span class=\"key\">Windows<\/span> + <span class=\"key\">I<\/span> on your keyboard. <\/li>\n<li>Click on <strong>System<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Click on <strong>Notifications & Actions<\/strong> in the left sidebar.<\/li>\n<li>In the right pane, toggle off the Get notifications from apps and other senders.<\/li>\n<li>You can also turn off notifications for individual apps by clicking the app name and then toggling off the Show notifications switch.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/speed-up-windows-11\/08-notification.jpg\" alt=\"notification\" width=\"1500\" height=\"934\"><\/figure>\n<\/ol>\n<p>After you\u2019ve disabled notifications, you\u2019ll be able to focus on your work without being interrupted by pop-ups.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Disable visual effects<\/h2>\n<p>Windows 11 comes with a lot of visual effects that make it look nice. However, all these visual effects come at a cost. They use up system resources, which can slow down your computer.<\/p>\n<p>To disable visual effects in Windows 11, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to <strong>Settings<\/strong> and then <strong>Personalization<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Select the <strong>Colors<\/strong> option. Deactivate the \u201c<strong>Transparency impacts<\/strong>\u201d toggle here.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/speed-up-windows-11\/09-colors.jpg\" alt=\"colors\" width=\"1500\" height=\"941\"><\/figure>\n<li>Then, from the sidebar, navigate to <strong>Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Select the <strong>Visual effects<\/strong> option and uncheck \u201c<strong>Transparency effects<\/strong>\u201d and \u201c<strong>Animation effects<\/strong>.\u201d<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/speed-up-windows-11\/10-visual-effect.jpg\" alt=\"visual effects\" width=\"1500\" height=\"941\"><\/figure>\n<li>After that, hit the Windows key once and search for \u201c<strong>View advanced system settings<\/strong>.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Open it and go to the \u201c<strong>Performance<\/strong>\u201d section and select \u201c<strong>Settings<\/strong>.\u201d Choose \u201c<strong>Adjust for best performance<\/strong>\u201d and click <strong>OK<\/strong>, and you\u2019re done.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/speed-up-windows-11\/11-adjust-performance.jpg\" alt=\"adjust performance\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1128\"><\/figure>\n<\/ol>\n<p>By disabling visual effects, you can free up system resources and speed up your computer.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Disable restartable apps<\/h2>\n<p>Restartable apps are a new feature in Windows 11 that allows you to pick up where you left off after restarting your computer. While this might sound like a useful feature, it can actually slow down your computer as restartable apps use up system resources, even when they\u2019re not in use.<\/p>\n<p>To disable restartable apps, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Navigate to the <strong>Accounts<\/strong> section in Settings. Choose one of the Sign-in options.<\/li>\n<li>Now, uncheck the box next to \u201c<strong>Automatically save my restartable apps and restart them when I sign in,<\/strong>\u201d and you\u2019re done.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/speed-up-windows-11\/12-sign-in-options.jpg\" alt=\"sign in option\" width=\"1500\" height=\"939\"><\/figure>\n<li>After you\u2019ve disabled restartable apps, your computer will start up faster because it won\u2019t have to load these apps. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>9: Update Windows <\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft releases updates for Windows 11 on a regular basis. These updates usually include performance improvements and security fixes. You should install these updates as soon as they are available to keep your computer running smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>To install updates in Windows 11, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the <strong>Settings<\/strong> menu by pressing the <span class=\"key\">Windows<\/span> + <span class=\"key\">I<\/span> on your keyboard.<\/li>\n<li>Click on <strong>Update & Security<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>In the left sidebar, select <strong>Windows Update<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Click the <strong>Check for updates<\/strong> button to check for new updates.<\/li>\n<li>If there are any updates available, they will be downloaded and installed automatically.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/speed-up-windows-11\/13-windows-update.jpg\" alt=\"windows update\" width=\"1500\" height=\"941\"><\/figure>\n<\/ol>\n<p>By keeping your computer up-to-date, you can ensure that it is running at its best.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>These are just a few tips and tricks to help you speed up Windows 11.
