谁不想让他们的Windows PC 保持良好的运行状态？每个人都希望获得优化、快速和流畅的计算体验，而Windows 11或Windows 10 计算机可以为您提供这一点。
Maintain Windows 11/10 PC 处于良好运行状态
以下是您必须定期执行的一些任务，以调整 Windows(tune-up Windows)并使系统保持良好的运行状态：
- 清除 PC 垃圾
- 卸载不需要的程序
- 控制启动程序
- 删除垃圾软件
- 运行碎片整理程序
- 偶尔运行 ChkDsk
- 保持操作系统和软件更新。
1]清除PC垃圾
设置时间来清理您的PC 垃圾文件(PC junk files)。根据您的计算机使用情况，您可以决定每周或每月进行一次。在这一天，使用您的内置磁盘清理工具(Disk Cleanup Tool)并清理您的垃圾文件。
垃圾文件(Junk files)是执行任务后保留在计算机上的文件。有时，Windows或某些程序在执行某些任务时需要创建临时文件，然后忘记删除它创建的临时文件。随着时间的推移，您的计算机充满了临时文件、日志文件、下载文件和不需要的Windows注册表项形式的垃圾文件。
虽然磁盘清理工具(Disk Cleanup Tool)做得很好，但你们中的一些人可能更喜欢使用第三方免费的垃圾文件清理器(free junk file cleaner)，比如 CCleaner。
然后是注册表(Registry)条目的问题。不少人说，不清理注册表，但很多人这样做。I do!因此，在您做出决定之前，您可能想知道 – Registry Cleaners 是好是坏。一般来说，Microsoft 不支持在 Windows 中使用 Registry Cleaners。
尽管Windows Rot可能已成为过去，但事实是，Windows 操作系统会在注册表中留下几个孤立的条目——(Registry –)尤其是在您卸载程序时，这就是像CCleaner这样安全的(CCleaner)免费注册表清理器(free Registry Cleaner)可以提供帮助的地方。
使用注册表清理(Registry Cleaner)程序或磁盘清理(Disk Cleaner)程序不会使您的 Windows PC 运行得更快(make your Windows PC run faster)。这只是您应该遵循的良好内务管理问题。
2]卸载不需要的程序
不时打开您的控制面板(Control Panel)，然后打开卸载程序(Uninstall Programs)小程序。检查那里所有已安装的软件。你(Did)是全部安装了还是在那里做了一些新的东西？如果您对其中一些有疑问，请在Internet上按名称搜索。其中一些很可能是潜在有害程序(Potentially Unwanted Programs )，它们可能在您不知情的情况下进入您的计算机。卸载(Uninstall)不需要的程序！
如果您需要安装和试用新程序，请先创建系统还原点，然后安装该程序。看看你是否想保留它。如果没有，请将其卸载，然后返回创建的系统还原点。如果你能在一天之内完成，那就很实用。这样，您的系统上就不会残留程序中的垃圾。
3]控制启动程序
您还应该检查设置为在每次 Windows 启动或引导时启动的程序。你必须限制初创企业(start-ups)的数量。为什么要在您不真正使用程序时启动它们。即使是您需要的那些也可以通过单击程序图标来手动启动。我个人不希望有任何(ANY)初创公司——除了我的防病毒软件正在运行。因此，请自行决定每次Windows启动时真正需要启动哪些。您可以使用Windows 或任务管理器中的msconfig来管理启动程序(manage startup programs)。您还可以延迟启动程序(delay Startup Programs)或控制它们在Windows启动时的加载顺序。

4]删除垃圾软件
如果你买了一台新的Windows电脑，你真的必须把它从所有可悲地安装在OEM机器上的(OEM)Crapware中清除掉，这要感谢他们的制造商——所有这些都是为了一些快速的钱。
大多数用户通常接受它们作为Windows 操作系统(Windows OS)的一部分，诅咒操作系统如此令人讨厌和缓慢。购买这种计算机的新(New)用户，每次打开它时通常都会被大量的弹出窗口所淹没。他们非常(Quite)期待他们的体验是愉快的，但当他们发现他们的新Windows PC 机器运行缓慢、死机或(Windows PC machine running slow, freezing, or crashing)经常崩溃时，他们的口中留下了不好的味道。
因此，请借助一些免费的垃圾软件清除工具(free crapware removal tools)来清除垃圾软件(remove crapware)，这是您购买新机器的第一件事。

5]运行碎片整理程序
需要手动对磁盘进行(Disk)碎片整理(defragment)，以提高性能。但现在你不需要了。首先，磁盘(Disk)读写速度非常好，将文件堆叠在一起最多只能产生边际差异，而且现在CPU(CPUs)更强大了。Windows 10 包含一个改进的磁盘碎片整理工具(Disk Defragmentation Tool)，可以完成所有这些工作
磁盘碎片整理程序工具在后台作为低优先级任务运行，不会影响计算机的性能。它仅在机器空闲时运行！它使用任务计划程序(Task Scheduler)自动对硬盘进行碎片整理。但是碎片整理工具只能对小于 64 MB 的文件进行碎片整理，因为根据微软的基准测试，这种大小的碎片已经包含至少 16000 个连续的集群，对性能的影响可以忽略不计。所以你们中的一些人，尤其是游戏玩家，可能想要考虑使用第三方免费的碎片整理软件(free Defragmentation Software)。

6]偶尔运行ChkDsk
使用Windows(Windows)中内置的名为CHKDSK或Check Disk的工具(Check Disk)检查硬盘驱动器是否有错误是一种很好的做法。在 Windows 10 中，微软重新设计了 chkdsk 实用程序。在自动维护期间定期检查磁盘是否存在文件系统错误、坏扇区、丢失的集群等，如果您正在运行Windows 11/10，您现在不再需要真正运行它。
7]保持操作系统和软件更新
最后，始终将您的Windows操作系统、防病毒软件、浏览器和其他已安装的软件更新(always updated)到最新版本。您还应该从外部擦拭您的设备，并保持设备清洁无尘。
执行所有这些操作，您就可以拥有一台经过优化的流畅 Windows 计算机(optimized Windows computer)，即使使用多年，它仍将保持与新的一样好。
让我们知道您为保持 PC 平稳运行所做的工作。(Let us know what you do to keep your PC running smoothly.)
Tips to maintain Windows 11/10 in good running condition
Who does not want to maіntain their Windows PC in good running condition? Eνeryone wants a well-оptimized, fast, and smoоth computing еxperience, аnd a Windows 11 or Windows 10 computer can offer you that.
Maintain Windows 11/10 PC in good running condition
Here are a few tasks you will have to perform periodically, in order to tune-up Windows and maintain your system in good running condition:
- Clear PC Junk
- Uninstall unwanted Programs
- Control Startup Programs
- Remove Crapware
- Run Defragmenter
- Run ChkDsk occasionally
- Keep OS and software updated.
1] Clear PC Junk
Set a time to clean up your PC junk files. Depending on your computer usage, you could decide to do it every week or every month. On this day, use your built-in Disk Cleanup Tool and clear up your junk files.
Junk files are files that remain on your computer after a task has been performed. Sometimes, Windows or some program needs to create temporary files while doing some task and then forgets to delete the temporary files it created. As time goes by, your computer is full of junk files in the form of temporary files, log files, downloaded files, and unwanted Windows registry entries.
While the Disk Cleanup Tool does a good job, some of you may prefer to use a third-party free junk file cleaner like CCleaner.
Then there is the question of Registry entries. Quite a few say, do not clean the registry, but then are many who do. I do! So before you decide, you may want to know – Are Registry Cleaners good or bad. Generally speaking, Microsoft does not support the use of Registry Cleaners in Windows.
Although Windows Rot may be a thing of the past, it is a fact, that Windows OS leaves several orphaned entries in the Registry – especially when you uninstall programs, and that is where a good safe free Registry Cleaner like CCleaner can be of help.
Using a Registry Cleaner or a Disk Cleaner, will not make your Windows PC run faster. It is just a matter of good housekeeping you should follow.
2] Uninstall unwanted Programs
From time to time, open your Control Panel and then the Uninstall Programs applet. Check all the installed software there. Did you install all of them or do you something new there? If you have doubts about some of them, search for them by name on the Internet. Some of them could well be Potentially Unwanted Programs who may have got into your computer without your knowledge. Uninstall unwanted programs!
If you need to install and try out a new program, create a system restore point first, then install the program. See if you want to keep it. If not, uninstall it and then go back to the created system restore point. Practical if you can do it within say a day. This way you won’t have residual junk from the program remain on your system.
3] Control Startup Programs
You should also check up the programs which set themselves to start every time Windows starts or boots. You must restrict the number of start-ups. Why have programs starting up when you don’t really use them. Even those you need can always be started manually by clicking on the program’s icon. I personally prefer not to have ANY startups – except my antivirus software running. So decide for yourself which ones you really need to start up every time your Windows boots. You may use msconfig in Windows or Task Manager to manage startup programs. You can also delay Startup Programs or control the order in which they load when Windows starts.

4] Remove Crapware
If you have bought a new Windows computer you really will have to exorcise it of all the Crapware that sadly gets installed on OEM machines, thanks to their manufacturers – all for some quick bucks.
Most users, usually accept them as a part of Windows OS, cursing the operating system for being so darn’ irritating and slow. New users who buy such a computer, are usually inundated with plenty of pop-up’s every time they switch it on. Quite expecting their experience to be a pleasant one, they are left with a bad taste in the mouth, when they find their new Windows PC machine running slow, freezing, or crashing frequently.
So take the help of some free crapware removal tools to remove crapware, the first thing you buy a new machine.

5] Run Defragmenter
One needed to manually defragment the Disk, in order to get some improvement in performance. But now you need not. Firstly, Disk read-write speeds are really good, and stacking files together can at most make a marginal difference plus CPUs are more powerful now. Windows 10 includes an improved Disk Defragmentation Tool that does all this
The Disk Defragmenter Tool runs as a low-priority task in the background without affecting the performance of the computer. It runs only when the machine is idle! It uses the Task Scheduler to automatically keep the hard disk defragmented. But the defrag tool only defragments files smaller than 64 MB, for according to Microsoft’s benchmarks, fragments of this size, which already consist of at least 16000 contiguous clusters, have a negligible impact on performance. So some of you, especially gamers, may want to consider using a third-party free Defragmentation Software.

6] Run ChkDsk occasionally
It is a good practice to check your hard disk drive for errors using a tool built into Windows called CHKDSK or Check Disk. In Windows 10, Microsoft has redesigned the chkdsk utility. The disk is periodically checked for file system errors, bad sectors, lost clusters, etc, during Automatic Maintenance and you now no longer need to really go and run it if you are running Windows 11/10.
7] Keep OS and software updated
Lastly, keep your Windows operating system, your antivirus software, browser, and your other installed software, always updated to their latest versions. You should also wipe your device externally and keep it clean and dust-free.
Do all this, and you could have a smooth optimized Windows computer on your hands, that will remain as good as new, even after years of use.
