We are human, and as a result we make mistakes. Every now and again. But if we know the most common mistakes, it is very difficult to make them when we know them, so here are some of the mistakes we make most often when using a PC and which makes it slow and slow.
Having too many active programs
Over time, you may have installed many other programs, and even if you only used them once, in case you forgot to uninstall them, they may still remain with memory-based processes. These programs will not only take up space on the hard disk, but will also use RAM, processing time, and disk space time, as well. all of this lowers the PC.
Do not be confused that most applications are turned on because we use them with backwards running applications, because they are the ones that consume RAM all the time and not in cases when we use them alone. In short, time and time again are a must Review the installed programs and try to get rid of everything we don't need. Of course you find several that you didn't even know you had.
Don't start all over again
Why if we have a problem with a PC and go to a computer to ask for help, the first thing we always tell us is to restart the PC?
For those of us who work in front of a PC for hours, we want it to always be there because when we need it, and sometimes because of pure laziness we left it for a long time. This is a bad idea because programs leave their "garbage" in memory, not to mention temporary files, and in addition to causing problems, it causes the PC to slow down after a while.
For this reason eIt's a good idea to restart your computer regularly, and not only when we have a problem, but we do it regularly to have this habit. And it is not necessary to do it all for a little while, but turning it off or restarting it once a day is a very healthy habit.
Click without reading first
When we spend too much time in front of a PC, another common mistake is that, the faster we go, the more we click on sites without thinking. For example, when we are programmed and an error message is generated, we accept it without reading the message just for removal, and the problem is that without reading the error message we will never know what caused it.
On the other hand, when you browse the internet many times by clicking without first reading it is dangerous. There are many malicious websites that advertise or do worse things like malware in hidden links (known as fake uploads). It turns out that these things can cause the PC to slow down, but that's also it we were forced to format.
So, we always have to be careful where we click, both to avoid falling into the traps as the example we have given above and to have the information we need when we have an error message.
Do not provide proper nutrition to the PC
Most PC users do not provide proper storage on it, and as long as it starts to slow or give them problems, they format it. Yes, it can be an option, but if we give you the right fix we can use it for many years without any problems and without formatting, which is always a problem.
To do this, without further ado, is a good practice to clean temporary files. To do this, in Windows 10 we can go to Settings -> System -> Storage again where we have a cleaning assistant (Free space now).
Do not update the phone
Automatic renewal is tricky, because sometimes they intervene when we least expect it and annoy us because it takes so long. However, they are a necessity and are certainly commendable for the efficient operation of the equipment, so it is a good idea to have it programmed for as little as possible.
You can control the app update settings from Settings -> Update and Security -> Windows Update.
PC may not be in a hurry, but only Internet
It is common to have problems with using the Internet and assume that the fault lies with the PC, in which case the fault is directly the Internet. For this reason it is also a good idea to restart the router periodically and perform periodic Internet speed checks so that, if we see that it is slow, we can open an event with the provider.
Now that you know what common mistakes we make and that makes the PC slow (or give us that feeling), you'll know how not to do it again.
