Checking System’s Performance Issues
Check Background Programs
You can check which programs are working in background and how much memory or processor speed is taking each program.
Press “Ctrl+Shift+Esc” and task manager window will open which shows the each background program status. If any background program is taking too much speed and space, you can stop that task by right clicking on it.
This can make the performance of your system little better than before.
Hard Drive space
If you’re hard drives are having memory storage free which is less than 200 this is an alarming situation. This has direct effect on your system’s performance. So you must have at least 200-500 MB free disk space for file swapping and temporary files. You can check he disk space from “This PC “.
If you are having more space in your hard drives that means less processors are running which cannot make your systems speed low and lazy.
