Computer Running Slow? Let's Fix That!

Is your computer taking forever to load? You don't need to buy a new one! At NetPros, we can help you speed up your existing PC and save you money.

Imagine this: Every time you turn on your PC, it feels painfully slow. This could be due to infrequent use, causing a backlog of updates. The more updates your PC has to process, the slower it gets. But don’t worry, the solution is simple!

Use your computer more frequently to keep it running smoothly. Regular usage helps manage updates and maintain performance. Here’s how you can check for the usual culprits:

1. Windows Updates

Frequent Windows updates can cause slow performance, especially if left unattended for long periods. Ensure your PC is up to date by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and click on "Check for updates".

2. Antivirus Updates and Scans

Antivirus software like AVG or Norton can consume system resources during updates and scans. Ensure your antivirus is up to date and check its settings to manage scans effectively.

3. Driver and Platform Updates

Graphics drivers and other software updates can also impact performance. Regularly update drivers via the manufacturer’s software like Radeon Software for AMD or GeForce Experience for Nvidia.

4. Other Software Updates

Background applications can slow down your PC. Use Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) to manage startup programs and processes.

How Often Should You Run Your PC?

Booting up your PC at least once a week can keep it running smoothly. For additional speed boosts, consider upgrading to an SSD or adding more RAM memory.
