here are some steps you can take to speed up your computer:

1. Uninstall programs you don’t use and don’t need from your PC. This can help speed your PC up, as those programs might include background processes, autostart entries, system services, context menu entries, and other things that can slow down your PC.

2. Change your power plan. You might be on a balanced or energy-saving plan – which can save you money but isn’t optimal for your computer’s performance. Press the Windows key to open the start menu search bar. Type “control panel” without quotes and select the corresponding app. Choose Hardware and Sound.

3. Close running apps when you're done. Make sure they're not running in the notification tray (next to the volume and Wi-Fi indicators).

4. Check for low disk space and make room if needed.

5. Check your updates for the latest updates for Windows and device drivers .

6. Restart your PC with only apps you need.

7. Check your memory and memory usage.

8. Restore your PC from a restore point.
