To clean. How to clean your computer from unnecessary programs and files manually. Programs in the "Service" section

Currently, most of the services work over the Internet, and the user needs to work with a computer. Everything is collected on the device over time more files that are not used by humans or by the system itself. They take up space and strain your PC, slowing it down. You need to know how to properly clean your computer in order to get rid of loads and freezes.

Prescribing prophylaxis

Hard drives on modern PCs have a lot of capacity, but even they can overflow, which leads to the need to delete unused files. This procedure is required for home, office and laptop systems. The accumulated "garbage" prevents the machine from working normally, slows down the process of searching for data on the hard disk. But when deleting, you only need to get rid of unnecessary files without affecting important system records.

A large amount of "garbage" remains after the installation of games and programs. The system starts to load and open slower dialog boxes... When installing some software, they can also be installed additional applications if the user has not cleared the corresponding checkboxes. All this puts a strain on the PC.

If there is too little space left on the hard disk, the system will display a message about the need to clean it up. Regularly deleting unnecessary data has the following benefits:

• the computer will run faster;
• there will be more space for the necessary files and documents;
• programs and the system itself will start much faster;
• the risk of critical errors that automatically minimize a running game or application will decrease.

Self-cleaning methods

To clean your computer of unnecessary files on your own, you do not need to manually search for each of them and delete them. For this, there are special utilities and tools that automate the work and do not require much user intervention. You can completely remove the "trash" by using system function located in properties hard disk... Another way is to install additional software, such programs include, for example, Unistall Expert, CCleaner.

Media files and shortcuts

Over time, a significant number of documents and shortcuts accumulate on the desktop, which are no longer used and only take up space. This makes it more difficult for the user to find the necessary programs. Extra files can be selected and moved to the trash. The latter needs to be cleaned after removing the "debris".

In second place after games in terms of weight and memory consumption there are video files... The user may forget to delete the watched movie or series. Such a file can weigh from 700 MB to 30 GB. You should also delete the accumulated torrents.

All browsers support the function of saving interested pages. A large accumulation of such bookmarks also slows down the application and the opening of new windows.

Unused programs

There are special utilities that scan the hard drive for old and unused data, from which the system can slow down. These programs include the "Disk Cleanup" built into Windows, as well as some third-party, more functional, applications ( Revo uninstaller, CCleaner). The utilities collect old registry entries and files and then offer to get rid of them. The process can be performed manually or enable automatic mode.

The computer may also store copies of files that programs use for some operations, but are not subsequently deleted. For the system to work well, it needs to be cleared of such data. The CCleaner utility is suitable for this. After launching it, you need to do the following:

1. Select the "Service" tab in the left menu.
2. Select "Search for duplicates" from the list.
3. Use the checkboxes to set the criteria by which the search will be conducted.
4. It is imperative to check the "System" column so that the application does not get rid of important Windows files.
5. You can also add folders with the desired data to the Exceptions list.
6. Press the "Search" button, the summary information will be displayed in alphabetical order.
7. You need to select unnecessary files and click on "Delete selected".

A hard drive with an operating system installed on it is called a system drive. Littering it up directly affects Windows performance... There should always be free space on this disk so that programs can create temporary files to work. The optimal stock is 20 GB.

You can manually get rid of temporary files by deleting all data from the Temp folder in the Windows root directory. This operation can be performed automatically by selecting the "Registry Cleanup" function in the CCleaner program.

You can also remove garbage from the disk using standard tools. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Call the context menu for system disk by clicking right click mice.
2. Select the "Properties" item and in the "General" tab click the "Disk Cleanup" button.
3. In the window that appears, mark the desired deletion parameters.
4. Click the "Ok" button and wait for the cleaning to complete.

When you upgrade Windows, files are backed up in a separate folder. They become useless over time and clog the disc. The PatchCleaner software will help you clean properly.

The utility asks the system what data is being used, compares it with the contents of the Installer folder, and identifies broken items. Before starting the uninstallation process, it is recommended to make a restore point. It will allow you to return cleaned data if errors occur in the system.

To remove "garbage" you need to run the PatchCleaner program and click on the Delete button. The utility will clean up the automatic mode.

Removing unnecessary files from your computer is easy. Even an inexperienced user can perform this task by following the instructions. Regular cleaning of the system will allow it to work quickly, without brakes and errors.

Often, users turn to the masters with a problem: why the computer slows down if it is only a few months from the date of purchase. To eliminate such a problem, the wizard needs no more than 15 minutes for your computer to work in a new way. How does he do it? How do I clean my computer myself? We will deal with this issue now.

Dust is the first reason for braking

Overheating can cause braking. Overheating can occur due to the fact that the system unit simply does not have enough air. Where do you usually have a "sistemnik"? Probably in a special section of the computer desk.

During operation, especially under heavy loads, the components system unit can consume a lot of watts. In terms of power consumption, they can be compared to a hairdryer or a small electric kettle. Of course, this kind of work generates a lot of heat. It is driven out of the system unit by constantly running fans. As you can imagine, if you put it in a "blind" niche of the table, besides, you cover it with a bunch of necessary papers on top - your computer will be in constant overheating. Technique suffers everything, only the fan starts to work differently, more noisy. Even the slightest load leads to the fact that they start to work at full capacity.

When the load or ambient temperature rises, a special microprocessor protection is triggered for electronic components, it is called throttling. Its main task is to artificially reduce the number of operations performed per second. For example, your computer is performing a complex operation, but at times it starts to take small breaks. For this reason, games often freeze.

If your computer's radiator is “clogged” with dust, then the transition to respite mode begins much earlier and at lower loads.
To keep your computer from overheating and running as quickly as before, it needs to be cleaned periodically. In this context, mechanical cleaning of the computer is meant.

To clean the computer, you need to remove the system unit from the niche, unscrew a couple of screws, remove one side cover. That's all. For these purposes, it is not necessary to call a specialist, everything can be done independently. Clean the dust where you can get it. The main thing is not to break anything.

Action plan:
1. Disconnect the system unit from all wires. If you find it difficult to remember where a particular wire was connected, then draw a plan on paper or make notes on the wires. Do not turn off anything inside the system unit.
2. Take a soft brush and a vacuum cleaner (after removing all attachments, if there is a "wet cleaning" mode, then turn it off too);
3.Place the system unit on its side ( the best place for the procedure, this is the floor);
4.Switch on the vacuum cleaner for suction, then take the hose with your left hand, bring it to the places where the most dust has collected and to the fans.
5. With your right hand, "rustle" in places where dust accumulates, while sucking it into the vacuum cleaner. By the way, a vacuum cleaner is necessary so that dust does not scatter throughout the apartment.
That's it, the cleaning procedure is over, return the removed cover of the "system unit" back by screwing it on with screws.
Now your computer will stop overheating, and possibly stop slowing down.

If you do not have a stationary PC, but a laptop, then contact a computer wizard, since not many laptop models allow you to clean the dusty insides simply by removing the cover. As a rule, complete disassembly is required. Laptops have very delicate parts, so it's best to have your laptops cleaned by a professional. Note that they need to be cleaned much more often than stationary ones, since, due to their compactness, dust is better retained in them.

Failure to clean your laptop in time can lead to more serious problems. Therefore, it is recommended to clean the laptop once a year (this is the minimum). Especially if tailed friends live in your house.

Software cleaning of the computer

If after cleaning the hardware, your computer still slows down, then you need to carry out a software cleaning.

The main reason why the computer slows down is infection malware(viruses, worms and other evil spirits). Before cleaning your computer, you need to get rid of them. How to clean your computer from viruses? It's simple.

To do this, install powerful antivirus and run a full scan of the entire computer. Choose antivirus from well-known companies, little-known ones can bring harm rather than benefit. Not a bad option - trial version paid antivirus. As a rule, it is fully functional, but has a limitation on use (usually 30 days). As you can imagine, a paid antivirus is better than a free one.

Remember that two antiviruses cannot exist on a computer at the same time, as this can also slow down computers.

Temporary files slow down the computer

If, after checking your computer for viruses, it still slows down, then you need to clean it from temporary files. To do this, enable the display of hidden files. Further tips will differ depending on the version. operating system installed on your computer.

Do the following: Start => Control Panel => Folder Options. In the "View" tab, check the box next to the "Show hidden files and folders" column, and uncheck the box next to "Hide protected system files (recommended)". Then the computer will ask you if you want to apply this change, you click "Yes". Then click "Apply". Now you will have new files and folders (previously invisible) on your computer, do not delete them in any case!

Now move on to cleaning. Do everything according to the instructions.
Go to Computer => Local Disk (C :) => Windows => Prefetch. In the Prefetch folder, delete everything you see. Then go to Windows folder, find the Temp folder there and delete everything too.
If you have Windows 7 or Vista, then the next paragraph is for you.
Go to the Local drive (C :), go to the Users folder, find the folder with the name under which you are registered in the system. Next, find the AppData folder, and in it the Local folder. Then find the Temp folder in it, enter it and delete all the files that you see. If you have several users, then these steps must be repeated with the folders of each user.

If you have Windows XP, then do what is described in the paragraph below.

Return to the Local drive (C :), go to the Documents and Settings folder, then go to the user folder under which you are registered in the system. In it, find the Local Settings folder, and in it the Temp folder. In the latter, delete everything.
Then go back to Local Settings. In it, find the Temporary Internet Files folder. Delete everything in this folder.
If you have several users, then these steps must be repeated with the folders of each user.

Next, do the standard cleanup of the C drive. Go to the Computer, then right-click on the Local drive icon (C :), go to Properties and check if there is a check mark on "Compress this drive to save space." If there is a check mark, then uncheck it. Then confirm the change of parameters for all files on the C drive. Thus, the computer will slow down in half. Then click on the Disk Cleanup button. In Windows 7, you also need to activate the Clean up system files option. Then click OK and wait.

By the way, in Windows 7, you can check the boxes in front of all the items, and in Windows XP, not all items can be checked. In particular, do not check the box next to "Compress old files", otherwise the computer may start to slow down over time. After pressing the "OK" button, the system will clear everything itself.

To prevent the computer from slowing down, you can turn off some of the visual effects
Click on Computer with the right mouse button, select Properties, then in Advanced system settings, activate the Advanced tab in it. Look, where it says Performance - click on Options.

In Windows 7, you need to uncheck the following items:
1. Fading of the menu after calling the command.
2. Animation of windows when minimizing and expanding.
3. Slip when expanding lists.
4. Smooth scrolling of lists.
5.Fade or slide effects when prompted.
6. Animated controls and elements inside the window.
7. Effects of fading or sliding when accessing the menu.
8. Animation in the Start menu and taskbar.
Then you will need to click OK and OK again.

Make a revision at startup. Press Win + R, then write msconfig in the search bar and press Enter. In the startup section, uncheck the downloadable programs and drivers. Which ones? Decide for yourself.

Advanced Tip - Disable System Restore
Inexperienced users believe that system restore helps from all "diseases", but this is not the case. Rollback helps, as a rule, in cases where you have problems with the system, drivers and other things. Therefore, you can turn it off, because it introduces serious braking into the system.

Right-click on Computer, select Properties, then System Protection. Opposite the drive (C :) you will have the words "Enabled". Select the Local Disk (C :), click Configure and put a period
opposite Disable System Protection. If you click the uninstall button, you can free your computer from all restore points. Then click OK.
If you have a lot random access memory(2 GB or more) and you do not use resource-intensive applications (for example, Photoshop or 3d Max) or games, then disable the paging file.

Now do the following: click Start, then right-click on Computer. In the window that appears, find "Advanced system settings." Open another System Properties window. In it, select the Advanced tab, pay attention to the Performance section and click the Options button.
In the Performance Settings window that opens, find the Advanced tab, there you find the inscription Virtual Memory and click Change.

In the virtual memory window that appears, see if the checkbox is ticked
opposite the column "Automatically select the size of the paging file". If so, remove it.
Opposite the column "Without a swap file, put a circle." Then we press the button Set. Windows may not like this, ignore it. If you have more than two GB of RAM, then feel free to click "Yes". Confirm the result with the "Ok" button. After that, the system will ask to reboot, allow it to do this.

After rebooting, your computer seems to have been replaced! It works really fast. Now Windows is fully loaded into RAM, so it will practically not be used during its operation HDD, that is, it wears out less!

If you run something resource-intensive in the future, don't worry. If there is not enough RAM, the computer will warn you about this. Then you just need to check the box next to Automatically select the size of the paging file, and then click OK. Then the system does everything itself.

When we have already dealt with the question, how to clean your computer... We have almost finished cleaning it (the dust was wiped off, the viruses were "kicked out"). You need to do defragmentation. It is done when the computer is clean.

By the way, if you are a fan of playing games, you can buy a USB flash drive (its volume should be twice as large the operating system computer) and use it for Ready Boost technology. You will feel the increase in productivity immediately.

Another tip - do not forget to periodically clean your browser caches. They sometimes specifically interfere with the work of both browsers and the entire computer.

We solved the problem of slowing down the computer without various optimizers, registry cleaners and other things. The computer really started to work faster. In addition, we have freed more than one gigabyte. free space... They will obviously not be superfluous.
By the way, hide the system and hidden files, so you will be much safer.

That's it, your computer will now continue to run fast!

How to speed up the boot / shutdown process.

How to speed up the boot / shutdown process. (This method is only relevant for multi-core computers) By default, at boot, the operating system uses only one processor core. The rest are idle at this time. To use them too, make a small setting. Call the Run command using the Win + R keyboard shortcut or by going to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Run. In the Open box, type msconfig and press Enter. The "System Configuration" window will open, in which go to the "Boot" tab. On this tab, click the "More options ..." button. A window will open in which, as shown in the picture, check the box next to "Number of processors" and just below select the number of processors that will be used in loading Windows. It is advisable to choose maximum amount that your computer has and Windows boot on your computer will be faster.

Users of personal computers should monitor the health and functionality of their device. This includes cleaning your PC from viruses, unnecessary programs, checking components and much more. In this article, you will learn how to clean your computer so that it does not slow down.

All causes of brakes can be divided into software and hardware. In the first case, the user can fix the problem manually and using special programs... In the event of a hardware malfunction, it will not be possible to eliminate the cause of the slowdown without special knowledge in this area. We will analyze the software causes and how to eliminate them.

Configuring startup

If you often install programs and applications on a laptop or PC, then they may be added to the default startup folder. Some of them greatly affect the speed of turning on the operating system, while others noticeably slow down the operation of the device. You can track the entire list of programs in startup as follows:

1. First you need to start the "Task Manager". The easiest way is to use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + Shift + Esc.

1. Now you need to open the "Startup" tab. Here is the list we need.

1. Pay attention to the columns "Status" and "Impact on launch". From the first, you can find out whether the program is enabled or disabled. The second column displays the degree of influence on turning on the computer.

1. It is necessary to select those applications that most affect the PC boot speed. You need to close them yourself. To do this, right-click on the line with the program and click "Disable".

Now unnecessary applications will not interfere fast boot operating system. The same procedure can be done via CCleaner program, which will be discussed below.

How to clean your PC with CCleaner

1. Launch the Run window (Win + R) and enter the command:

% TEMP%

1. Front manual removal carefully review the list of files and folders. You may need some of them for work or play (saves, configuration files, etc.). The rest can be safely removed.

Disabling Effects

If the brakes appear due to weak PC hardware, then disabling visual effects will help significantly improve the situation. This is especially true for modern Windows 8 and 10. With the help of the presented guide, you can turn off unnecessary effects:

1. Open the "Control Panel" and go to the "System and Security" section.

Disable services

This item concerns the operating room Windows systems 10, which has many services running by default. All of them significantly load the processor and RAM, so some of them need to be disabled. You can do it like this:

1. Start the Services application. To do this, in the "Run" window, enter the command:

services.msc

1. The first service is Windows Search, which scans and indexes files in the background for search. Find the line of the same name in the list and double-click on it. In the window that opens, select the "Disabled" startup type and apply the changes.

1. The second service is Superfetch. With its help, the OS monitors frequently used applications and preloads them into RAM. To reduce the load on your PC, try disabling this service in the same way.

Prophylaxis

In addition to software problems, the reason that the PC slows down is a hardware malfunction. One of these is dust clogging. The user must keep the inside of the system unit clean. The main sign of contamination is an increase in the temperature of the processor, video card and other components. You can track metrics with special utilities.

One of these programs is HWMonitor. Through it, you can track the temperature of all components. For example, the screenshot shows the temperature of each processor core:

Conclusion

We have considered all kinds of ways speed up work personal computer... With the help of manual cleaning and special utilities, you can get rid of most of the causes of brakes.

Video

Check out the video from detailed description all actions from the instructions. You can follow all the steps in parallel while watching the video.

Accumulation of residues remote applications, unnecessary registry entries, temporary files, logs that remain after Windows updates and programs and other debris slows down the computer's performance. If all this is not removed, over time, the PC becomes so slow and annoying that the user can not stand it and reinstall the system. However, after a couple of months everything is back to normal - brakes, low FPS, and all sorts of glitches. Meanwhile, the problem is solved simply - it is enough to do preventive maintenance 1-2 times a month using a computer cleaning program. Today we will talk about them.

We have prepared a brief overview of the capabilities of the best Windows utilities that can give your system acceleration up to 50-70% relative to the original level. All of them are free and designed for newbie users.

The applications included in today's review are supported by all Windows editions, starting XP and ending with Windows 10. We decided not to talk about programs whose authors limited themselves to supporting systems up to Windows 7, because today they are irrelevant.

Good mood to you all! In this article, we will touch upon a very popular topic among the population. Namely, let's talk about how to clean your computer from junk quickly and quietly.

After all, you must agree that no one likes it when their PC starts to glitch and slow down. In such cases, many impatient people simply lose their nerves. But do not worry so much, everything is easily fixable.

The installation itself is standard, so there shouldn't be any problems. Therefore, we immediately proceed to launch the application:

And the "Cleaning" tab opens first:

The middle column will show all directories and folders from which various temporary files and other unnecessary garbage will be deleted. To start this process, immediately click on the "Analysis" button:

The program will start checking all the nooks of the Windows operating system for any slag and at the end it will display the following list:

At this step, we just have to click on the coveted "Cleanup" button so that all this stuff disappears from the computer:

But here it should be borne in mind that the cache of Internet browsers will also be cleared. Therefore, if you stored any passwords there, they will be lost. Remember this, so that later you do not grab your heart.

Now I propose to go to the "Registry" tab:

If anyone does not know what a registry is, then let's briefly tell you. This is such a central base of the operating system, where all information about installed programs and their settings, hardware and more.

So, during the operation of the system, many different garbage records accumulate in it, which lead to slowdowns and brakes. So click on the "Search for problems" button in order to get to know the enemy personally:

And after identifying it, you should send it to the press by clicking the "Fix" button:

But there is one here important point... Before deleting garbage records, the program will offer to save the original backup registry. Be sure to do this, so that later, in case incorrect work any applications, it was possible to roll back.

Well, friends and comrades, at this stage we can say that we have already cleared the computer of unnecessary garbage and other nasty things. But the possibilities of CCleaner do not end there yet.

As you can see in the screenshot above, here you can control the startup of Windows and browsers, search for duplicates of the same files, and even there is the possibility of completely erasing disks without the possibility of information recovery.

Also, it will not be superfluous to go to the "Settings" application. There are also useful options there:

In general, people, here is such a simple answer to the question of how to clear your computer from garbage quickly and without any routine. Objectively speaking, this program tested by the author of the article in real life dozens of times.

And the result has always been positive. It was immediately evident that the system "came to life" and incomprehensible glitches and thoughtfulness disappeared. Of course, such methods will not cleanse viruses, but we will talk about this in.

And in conclusion, I propose to see interesting video on a very hot topic.
