Is your computer running slow?

You buy a new computer and it’s lightning fast. You’re so excited and your productivity on the computer is allowing you to get things done fast. Over time your computer slows down. You are no longer as productive and you seem to need to wait for your computer to catch up to you. The slowness could be a result of age, additional applications installed, or a technical issue.

  • Age: the computer you bought years ago has reached its lifecycle. It worked great at the time but now new things require more from your computer that was built back when you bought it.
  • Additional Applications: as you install more and more applications, there are additional processes and services that run taking up more resources.
  • Technical issues: there are many technical issues that can happen to cause a computer’s performance to degrade, from corrupt files to failing hardware.

If your computer has reached the end of its lifecycle then it’s simply time to bite the bullet and buy a new computer and get back to being productive and excited about working on your computer. Make sure you are buying a computer with a solid state hard drive in it as it makes a world of difference in computer performance.

If you’ve installed tons of applications, then check your start up items and disable them so that they don’t start automatically. They’ll work fine when you open them as you need them but they won’t affect computer performance while you don’t need them. Review the list of startup applications and disable any you don’t need to start automatically. Here’s how:

  • Windows 10/8: hitting CRTL+ALT+ESC on your keyboard and clicking the Startup tab
  • Windows 7: click the start button then type msconfig then hit enter. Click the start up tab

Computer slowness issues resulting from technical issues require skilled professionals to review and determine the root cause. CBTech Support proactively monitors its client’s computers and servers for any technical issues which would cause performance degradation.
