There can be a variety of reasons why your PC is slow. And we are all aware that a slow PC can actually ruin a beautiful day. Using the computer is already a part of our daily routine and having a PC that is slow and not performing the way it used to be is something that we need to pay attention to. Nobody would want to deal with a PC slow in starting up or in loading of the start menu. And everyone who owns a personal computer would want to know the possible quick fixes that can be applied when experiencing a slow PC start up. Here are some of the quick and easy fixes that we can do when experiencing such a problem.
If you are using a Windows computer, you can actually go to Run then type in "msconfig" and hit Enter. You will then see the Start Up tab. Under the Start Up tab, tick the unwanted programs to uncheck them and click on OK. A better performance will most likely make you feel relieved the next time your Windows computer boots. When the Start menu turns to be slow when being loaded, you can also go to Run and type in "regedit.exe". You can then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop. Find MenuShowDelay double click it in order to edit the value. This step will take you to Registry Editor. The lower the number indicated, the faster the Start menu will be loaded.
Now, if you are living your life with a Mac computer, you might want to work on these simple steps. When your Mac starts up slowly you must Restart your PC right away. This may work on your Mac. It only takes a minute or two. If this doesn't work, you might want to try on using its "Safe Boot". It is one good way to cure your Mac. After restarting your computer, and you weren't able to see the Safe Boot option, better shut it down. This time you have to press the shift key before you press the turn on button.
Whatever your computer actually is, the number one possible reason why your PC is slow when starting up is most likely that you have too much unwanted and not needed files that is taking up the space of your computer. Checking on your Recycling Bin and cleaning it up through permanently deleting those unwanted files residing in your Recycle Bin actually helps. Deleting those not used programs through visiting your Control Panel can also show good results. Simply go to Start button and click on Control Panel. Find the Add/Remove Program button and check on the programs you do not use anymore and remove them through clicking the Remove program. You can also run a Disk Defragmenter or de-cluttering your Hard disk. Basically all you really need to do is to keep your PC clean. Fortunately a perfect program that may truly answer your PC slowdown problem is available in the market. The Registry Easy may be the only way to really speed up your PC and clean out your registry problems.
