Hitekno.com – You guys are feeling how annoying it is when laptop is in use but the performance feels very slow? Do you know what are the reasons why your laptop can be slow? Here are the causes and how to fix a slow laptop.

Apparently laptops are just like humans where the longer they age, the more vulnerable they will be and can’t work fast like a new laptop. But apart from that, it turns out that there are other causes such as forcing to install western applications or being attacked by viruses.

Let’s see, this is the reason slow laptop and how to fix a slow laptop:

Causes of a slow laptop

  • Laptop full of unused apps
  • Laptop performance has decreased due to a virus
  • Using applications that do not match the specifications of the laptop
  • Using multiple apps at the same time
  • Small RAM capacity
  • The age of the laptop has long had an effect on the OS
  • Laptops often overheat or overheat
  • Still using HDD hard drive

How to fix a slow laptop

  1. Without you knowing it, your laptop will install some applications that you don’t really need, you won’t use it at all. So you should install the application so that the storage capacity can be wider and relieved so that the laptop can work more optimally.
  2. Like humans, laptops can also be attacked by viruses and can cause laptop problems. To anticipate this, you can use an anti-virus to ward off viruses that will interfere with the health of the laptop operating system.
  3. As time goes by, there are certainly many who innovate to create very interesting applications, but behind that it seems that it presents a large enough storage capacity and requires capable software and hardware. So if you force to install heavy applications, your laptop will be slower.
  4. If you open several applications at the same time, especially if the application is not closed, only minimized, what happens will take up RAM storage space. Then the laptop will be slower to receive a response from its users.
  5. If your laptop has a fairly small RAM capacity, apparently you can upgrade to a larger size so you can enjoy various applications and store more files.
  6. Apparently the age of the laptop will also affect the performance of the operating system or hardware. One of the steps you can take is to reinstall Windows that you are using.
  7. Being used for activities for a long period of time can apparently make your laptop unable to lower the temperature, so what happens is that the laptop will also be slower. You can overcome this by using thermal paste which is useful for cooling and maintaining a normal temperature on the laptop.
  8. Laptops with low specifications and old laptops definitely use HDD memory. Apparently for now HDD memory is not recommended for running various applications because it is considered quite slow in processing commands from users. Apparently SSD memory is believed to be faster at booting.

So, those are some of the causes and ways to overcome a slow laptop that you can try so that your laptop can work more optimally than before. How, are you interested in trying the method above? Good luck, good luck.
