1.Press Windows Key + I to open Settings then click on Update & Security.
2.From the left-hand side menu, click on Windows Update.
3.Now click on the “Check for updates” button to check for any available updates.
4.If any updates are pending then click on Download & Install updates.
Once the updates are downloaded, install them and your Windows will become up-to-date. Now you need to change active hours for Windows 10 update in order to limit the time when Windows automatically installs these updates.
If you have updated your Windows and still experiencing the performance issue on Windows 10 then the cause might be corrupted or outdated device drivers. It is possible that Windows 10 is running slow because the device drivers are not up to date and you need to update them in order to resolve the issue. Device drivers are essential system-level software that helps in creating a communication between the hardware attached to the system and the operating system you are using on your computer.
Method 14: Set Metered Connection
While the above method limits the time when Windows updates are installed, Windows still continues to download updates as and when it requires. This seriously affects your internet performance. Setting your connection to be metered will disable the updates from being downloaded in the background. To do this,
1.Press Windows Key + I to open Settings then click on ‘Network and Internet settings’.
3.Click on your current network connection and scroll down to the ‘Metered connection’ section.
5.Turn on ‘Set as metered connection’.
Method 15: Disable Fast Startup
The fast startup combines features of both Cold or full shutdown and Hibernates. When you shut down your PC with a fast startup feature enabled, it closes all the programs and applications running on your PC and also logged out all the users. It acts as a freshly booted Windows. But Windows kernel is loaded and system session is running which alerts device drivers to prepare for hibernation i.e. saves all current applications and programs running on your PC before closing them.
So now you know that Fast Startup is an essential feature of Windows as it saves the data when you shut down your PC and start Windows faster. But this could be also one of the reasons why you’re facing the slow PC running Windows 10 issue. Many users reported that disabling the Fast Startup feature has solved this issue on their PC.
Bonus Tip: Substitute or replace heavy apps
There are many programs and apps that we use, which are quite heavy. They use a lot of system resources and are very slow. Many of these programs, if not uninstalled, can at least be substituted with better and faster apps. For example, you can use VLC for video and media player app. Use Google Chrome instead of Microsoft Edge as it is the fastest browser out there. Similarly, many of the apps that you use might not be the best at what they do and you can substitute them with better apps.
Recommended:
Note that some of these methods trade-off your computer’s battery life and a few other features for the increase in the speed. If you do not want to compromise on the same, or if the above methods do not work for you, you can get yourself a faster SSD or more RAM (if your computer supports). You might have to spend some money but it will be definitely worth the performance.
