Hello all friends!

If you care about the fast operation of your computer, then at least every three months you need to carry out a global cleaning of the system from various types of garbage. If you don't do this, your computer will simply slow down.

After using your computer for a long time, a lot of garbage accumulates, getting rid of it can free up gigabytes of free space on your hard drive by clearing the disk of garbage in three steps. This article is for beginners. Use it and you will really notice the difference BEFORE and AFTER cleaning your hard drive. The most interesting thing is that we will get rid of the Temp folder. Learn more about it:

Step 1) cleaning your computer from junk - manually

Cleaning the system drive “C” in Windows 7 is a fairly simple procedure, but before using the programs, let’s prepare our computer. To do this, we will use standard system tools. Let's go to " Start» —>» Computer"and we see our disks. Point the mouse at drive C and press the right mouse button. Go to properties and run disk cleanup.

The cleaning program will start, it will evaluate the volume, and prepare the files for deletion.

Attention! If you are cleaning the disk for the first time, this may take a long time, up to several hours. Therefore, for especially “Neglected Patients” it is necessary to perform cleaning at night.

We check all the boxes before cleaning. Look in the trash, maybe you still have the files you need there.

Don't forget to go to the Advanced tab, where you can remove unnecessary programs and restore points. Click " OK"—> « Delete files» unnecessary garbage has been removed. The preparation of the system is completed, let's move on to the “heavy artillery” - we will use a powerful program to remove residual debris.

Step 2. CCleaner - continue disk cleaning

We continue cleaning. And a cool program called CCleaner will help us with this. This is the most popular utility among garbage cleaners. Download the portable (portable version does not require installation) program. The download will start automatically. Launch the program, click " Analyze" (Analysis), after scanning " Run Cleaner“(Cleaning). The program language changes like this: Options» —> « Settings» —> « Language» —> « Russian«.

You can also clean the registry, I think you’ll figure it out - the interface couldn’t be simpler. Let's move on to the next step.

Step 3. FreeSpacer - completely clean your computer disk of debris

The program is called FreeSpacer and install it on your computer. I'll say a few words about this wonderful program.

I have been using FreeSpacer for a very long time, what I like about it is that it has no complicated settings, it all comes down to two actions: search and delete, it is distributed free of charge and does not delete anything unnecessary. I also want to say about its effectiveness; it removed my friend’s 20 gigs of garbage and that's not the limit.

Launch the program and click " Search.» There should be no other programs or background applications running on the system.

While working at a computer, users download some files, copy others, install and delete others. As a result, the Windows system turns out to be a mess. In principle, this is not scary, but there are 2 problems.

The first is that if you have a large number of files, you will have little free space. And when they are constantly copied, moved and deleted, incorrect entries in the registry, hidden junk files, etc. appear. You don’t even see them, but they take up space, and most importantly, they slow down your PC or laptop. To get rid of slowdowns and glitches, you need to periodically completely clean your computer of debris. How? Using special software.

I would like to note right away that the utilities below are universal and work on Windows 10, 8, 7. Therefore, the OS version on your computer or laptop does not matter.

One of the best programs for cleaning your computer from junk is Advanced SystemCare. It is easy to use and ideal for beginners. Just one click, a few minutes - and Windows cleaning is successfully completed.

By the way, cleaning the system from debris is very fast. And this is a huge plus of this utility. After all, deleting unnecessary files and programs takes no more than 5 minutes!

Another advantage of CCleaner is that it automatically cleans your computer or laptop. You can customize the utility for yourself by specifying:

• cleaning was performed when the PC started (not recommended - this is too frequent);
• the program monitored the system or browsers and notified when there was little space left;
• All files older than 24 hours were deleted from the trash bin, etc.

The utility is available in several versions: paid, free and portable (does not require installation). Any of them is entirely in Russian. There are more than enough possibilities for a free utility for cleaning a computer or laptop, so if necessary, you can find it at the office. website.

Coping with so much information and correctly systematizing it is more than difficult. Manually cleaning a computer is a truly ambitious task. If you don't have the necessary knowledge, the best you can hope for is wasting a few hours. In the worst case scenario, your computer will stop working altogether.

It is worth remembering what times we live in. The software market offers a huge selection of programs for any purpose. Windows computer cleaning programs are no exception. Anyone can download the required application and quickly and thoroughly clean their computer. All you have to do is choose from the sea of ​​software that is ideal for you.

The simplest and most reliable choice is not to guess, but to trust the majority. Millions of users around the world have chosen 360 Total Security, a free antivirus that makes cleaning and optimizing your computer a quick and easy process. It is armed with tools for cleaning the registry and startup, eliminating useless background processes, files and programs. Once you try this program in action, you will stop searching.

Greetings dear reader. Today, almost everyone has computers, laptops, tablets and other gadgets. No matter how powerful your computer is, over time it begins to slow down and the further it goes, the worse. There are many reasons for this, but most can be easily fixed. Also, the method described below will be for Windows, since most ordinary users sit on it.

To begin with, there are two ways to clean your computer so that it does not slow down. First- Call a technician to your home. This is the case if you are not confident in your abilities or simply do not have time for this. Second- clean it yourself, namely: clean it from dust, from temporary files, from information garbage, from viruses and malware, to optimize the system. This option requires time and perseverance, but you don’t need to be a programmer or hacker, all the steps are simple. But if not sure in your own strengths and actions - call a technician or take the computer to him.

It's certainly nice to work on a new PC or laptop, or if you've just installed a new operating system. Everything works quickly and does not slow down. But over time, “brakes” begin, something doesn’t open right away, gets stuck, sometimes freezes or even turns off, in due to overheating. There may be several reasons for this. The most basic:

• Body contamination: dust, crumbs, wool...
• The processor heats up
• Unnecessary programs clog RAM,
• Information “junk” has accumulated on the hard drive,
• Viruses and various malware slow down Windows.

What to do about it? There is nothing wrong, anyone, even a novice PC or laptop user, can repeat what is described below. First, you need to clean your computer from dust. You will need a damp cloth, a dry cloth, cotton swabs, a vacuum cleaner, and if possible, a can of compressed air, but this is not necessary. And if you have a laptop, then most likely there will be no dust there, which means there is no need to physically clean it. The fact is that the laptop case is designed in such a way that dust practically does not accumulate there, and sometimes it is difficult to disassemble it, so it’s better not even worth it.

For subsequent cleaning, we will use various programs to clean the operating system, so be prepared for the fact that you will need to install them.

Cleaning your computer from dust.

With the accumulation of dust on the internal parts of the computer, these same elements begin to heat up. Therefore, they cannot perform their functions 100%, which leads to the computer slowing down in games, programs, and so on. This is especially true with top-end computer assemblies; they are very powerful and often heat up. Moreover, if processors, whether central or graphic, often heat up, this leads to irreversible processes inside the cores, which is a serious breakdown and cannot be repaired.

I also note that the cause of strong heating may be drying out of the thermal paste. If you are new to this business, then in order to clean your computer well, you should also replace it. In general, thermal paste is, simply put, a paste that helps remove heat from the processor to the heatsink. And she is located between them accordingly.

And this is how to clean your computer from dust:

Ideally, of course, it is better to remove all elements and wipe them separately. But you need to do this if you are sure that you will put everything back together.

Removing unnecessary programs.

The next step is to clean your computer - find and remove programs and applications that you do not need. The fact is that over time, a bunch of programs are installed, they hang in startup and some are simply not used, and clutter up the RAM.

First, let's remove the programs:

You can use third-party programs. I recommend using them to clean your computer, since such programs usually remove the program 100%, cleaning out folders and the registry. For example, I use .

It is free, and weighs little, I have never noticed any problems with it. It’s easy to use, install it, and just as I described above, remove the programs. Afterwards it scans the computer, and if it finds folders and files, click delete them.

Cleaning startup.

Sometimes you have to leave some necessary programs, but they hang in startup, that is, they turn on with the computer. We may not use them, but they work and fill up the RAM. Then we need:

There are also third-party programs for cleaning startup, but they have more functionality and are for those who understand what needs to be disabled. For example, I use the program to clean my computer. It's free and works great.

Removing viruses and malware.

If you have an antivirus installed, run a full scan of your computer. This is one of the important factors in how to clean your computer well. What can I say about antiviruses? Many opinions, many programs. In my opinion, you need to install licensed programs and buy licenses. Some of the best: Kaspersky Lab, Dr.Web (Doctor Web), Eset Nod32 (Nod 32) and so on.

True, some of them put a heavy load on the operating system, and it turns out that you will not speed up the computer, but vice versa. But you won’t ruin your system with viruses and malware. Here, of course, it’s worth keeping in mind that if you have a powerful computer, then you don’t need to worry. Well, it is desirable that there is a constant connection to the Internet so that the antivirus is constantly updated.

There are of course alternatives. I, like many people, love freebies, I was able to choose a good antivirus for myself, or rather, it is a set of programs for cleaning unnecessary files, temporary files, optimizing the operating system and checking for viruses. This 360 total security. It's free and easy to use. And from personal experience I can say that it copes well with viruses.

The check or scan, as it is also called, can take a long time. It all depends on the size of the hard drive and the amount of information on it. Well, after that you should restart your computer.

Cleaning your computer from unnecessary files and folders.

This point is very important in order to clean your computer well. After all, what happens when there is a lot of information garbage in a person’s head? He's starting to get dumb. It's the same with a computer. He sees all the information on the computer, indexes folders and files, and when it’s a mess, it takes more time, and as a result the computer starts to slow down.

Cleaning the registry.

What is a registry? Simply put, this is a kind of operating system database with settings and various parameters. A very important element of Windows. And when it is cluttered, the computer also slows down, because all the programs that we install there also register their settings, and when we do something, the parameters in the registry also change. In general, to clean your computer, you also need to clean it.

The already installed program will help us here; it does an excellent job with this.

1. Launch the program and select the “Registry” tab.
2. Here too, first we do the analysis.
3. Now click “Fix”. A window will appear asking you to make a backup copy of the Registry, we agree, it won’t hurt.
4. We wait until the end and reboot the PC.

There is also a program that I really like and use it all the time - Wise Registry Clesner. It doesn't even require installation. What are the advantages:

• Cleans the Registry, also analysis, then cleaning.
• Optimizes the Registry
• Defragments the Registry

I do all three points, a powerful program.

Here, just like with the Registry, all files and folders should be in their places and shelves, and not scattered throughout the hard drive. This point is also important to clean your computer properly. After this, it is easier for the operating system to find files and folders, as a result of which the system does not slow down.

Now you can go about your business, because this process is long but effective. You need to do this with all disks on your computer.

But if you already have a modern SSD drive, then you don’t need to do defragmentation, it’s simply pointless, since such drives are the same flash drives. And on regular disks there is a disk that spins up when reading files, and the head can read what is nearby. Well, if the files are scattered, then the head runs a lot, the disk spins faster, and a lot of time is spent. A flash drive eliminates all these moments and reads information almost instantly.

Optimizing the Windows operating system

Here we will look at a few more points to optimize the system itself.

1. Disable visual effects. Right-click on my computer - properties - advanced settings - performance - settings. Here we turn off as much as possible, see for yourself, try it. If the computer is generally weak, turn everything off.
2. Cleaning up the task scheduler. Go to C:\Windows\Tasks and we delete everything. Now the system won’t schedule anything without your knowledge :)
3. Disable System Restore. From practice, this rarely helps to restore the system, but if necessary, then leave this item. Again, right-click on my computer - select the property - system protection (in other versions of operating systems, it may simply be called system recovery) - click on each disk and click configure - in the window that opens, click disable and delete all the points so as not to take up much space and OK.
4. Optimize desktop. All icons and folders on the desktop load the system, so in order to clean your computer well, leave only the essentials on the desktop. Or is it better to create shortcuts on the desktop.

Well, I think this is the most basic thing you need to do to clean your computer. And it’s better to do this at least once every two months, and then your computer will live and breathe freely. Have a nice day.

And here is a video about how you can clean your computer so that it doesn’t slow down.

How to clean your computer so it doesn't slow down. updated: May 22, 2019 by: Subbotin Pavel

What to do when Windows slows down

It is difficult to find a laptop or personal computer user who is completely satisfied with the performance of their system. Therefore, it is not surprising in the existence of various programs - optimizers and special applications designed to speed up PC operation as much as possible.

You shouldn’t expect fantastic results from their use, but such programs still bring real benefits. Based on the type of optimization, it is most convenient to divide them into the following groups:

• speed up Windows boot and system operation by stopping optional programs and services;
• automating driver update processes;
• providing computer cleaning- searching for and removing various garbage, consisting of temporary files and remnants of old programs;
• fixing system files;
• n normalizing the work of the hard drive.

Most of the activities for optimizing and cleaning a computer can be carried out using the built-in tools of the Windows operating system itself, but specialized software makes life easier for the average user, in some cases completely automating the optimization process. Developers of programs for cleaning your computer from accumulated debris and optimizing Windows operation are guided by the collective experience of the computer community and provide for performing only proven and safe actions. If there is a possibility of making dangerous changes, the current state of the system is remembered and they can be canceled if necessary.

The best programs to optimize Windows boot

Even a freshly installed operating system without any additional software does not use computer resources optimally. The fact is that due to the desire to provide Windows with the widest possible functionality, it also includes numerous services designed to interact with various equipment and implement special options. Moreover, in a number of cases their capabilities remain unclaimed. As a rule, such services start at system startup, increase boot time, occupy RAM, and consume CPU time.

Problem: When installing additional programs, the latter can either be registered in the startup folder or the corresponding registry sections, or add their own services to the system. For example, checking for version updates or activating the required module based on a specific event. The list of programs and services that are launched when Windows boots can be managed using standard tools, such as msconfig and services.msc, but third-party service utilities provide more extensive capabilities.

Solution: AutoRuns program

Russian interface: There is

Terms of distribution: FreeWare

One of the best programs in this class for optimizing Windows booting is from Sysinternals, which was once acquired by Microsoft. The utility displays absolutely all programs, services, drivers and other system components that are launched not only during boot, but also when users register or other events occur. Works in all versions of Windows, including 64-bit. Shows the properties of any found objects, paths and launch parameters, and the sequence in which they are processed by the operating system. By disabling irrelevant services and programs, the user can increase the loading speed of the OS, free up memory and computing resources of his machine, thereby increasing its performance.

Problem: A large number of applications starting at short intervals and with the same priority compete with each other for the processor's attention. Trying to “pull the blanket” to their side, they can significantly delay the process of completing the download and interfere with the user’s normal work. Standard Windows tools allow you to organize delayed launch of programs, for example, using the task scheduler, but this approach is quite labor-intensive. In addition, processes launched by the scheduler have low priority, which can be critical for individual applications. In this case, it also makes sense to use specialized software.

Solution: Autorun Organizer

Latest version: 2.20

Russian interface: There is

Terms of distribution: FreeWare

The easy-to-use Autorun Organizer utility from ChemTable Software has proven itself well. It not only allows you to postpone for a while or completely cancel the startup of any application, but also keeps a startup log, displaying its latest entries in the corresponding panel. This approach provides a visual analysis of the results of changes made to the list of programs launched when the operating system starts. In addition, Autorun Organizer can check these applications for malware using the popular online service Virustotal.

Best programs
to automate driver updates

Problem: Surely many users have encountered a situation where the next update of a driver leads to a significant increase in system stability or performance. Given the large number of installed drivers for various PC or laptop components, as well as peripheral devices, regularly manually checking for updates will take too much time. The best solution in such a situation may be to use the appropriate utility.

Solution: IObit Driver Booster Program

Photo: ru.iobit.com

Latest version: 3.2

Russian interface: There is

Terms of distribution: FreeWare, paid version PRO (1500 RUR)

The program automatically creates and updates a list of drivers installed in the system, searches for new versions for them on the websites of official manufacturers and offers updating in one click. In addition, Driver Booster optimizes the parameters of some drivers to achieve maximum performance in games. The difference between the free and professional versions is that the latter supports more devices and creates a backup when updating.

The best programs for optimizing system performance

Problem: It often happens that literally a percentage of productivity is not enough for “complete happiness.” This is especially true for not the most modern hardware platforms and for running games of the latest generations on them. To some extent, the use of a specialized game optimizer can save the situation.

Solution: Razer Cortex (PC Game Booster)

Latest version: 7.0.135

Russian interface: There is

Terms of distribution: FreeWare

The program can analyze running processes from the point of view of gaming applications and offer the most productive optimization options. When switching to acceleration mode, Game Booster suspends pre-specified background services and applications, and also releases and cleans unused RAM. The optimizer has flexible manual settings and a large database of ready-made profiles for specific games. In addition to performing basic functions, Razer Cortex is capable of broadcasting gameplay via streaming, creating videos, storing backups in the cloud and much more, providing avid gamers with a convenient, feature-rich environment.

The best programs to defragment your hard drive and optimize its performance

Problem: Information on a hard disk is stored in the form of interconnected blocks of a fixed size. When writing a file with a volume exceeding the size of one block, the drive electronics tries to select the next one in such a way that during the reading process it is accessed in the shortest possible time. If the best place is already taken, the closest available one is used. For simplicity, we believe that the optimal access speed option is when all the blocks are located back to back. But this situation is only possible when writing to a new or ordered drive. Periodic installation and uninstallation of various software, as well as the creation and deletion of a large number of temporary files on the hard drive systematically lead to fragmentation of its internal space, as a result of which the performance of the machine can be significantly reduced. There is only one way out here - regularly tidy up the placement of occupied and free blocks.

Solution 1:Standard operating system tools provide defragmentation measures (optimization for Windows 8 and higher) on their own, but there are several points here. Few people pay attention to the fact that, by default, these operations are automatically performed weekly after midnight. Of course, if the computer is running at the time. Nothing prevents the user from initiating HDD optimization or performing garbage collection on SSD using standard means. manual mode, unless he is interested in the advanced capabilities of third-party programs.

Solution 2: Defraggler Program

Latest version: 2.21

Russian interface: There is

Terms of distribution: FreeWare, paid version Professional ($24.95)

If additional bells and whistles are not needed, and the standard tools are not satisfactory for some reason, we recommend that you pay attention to the fairly simple Defraggler program from Piriform Ltd, which has a Microsoft gold certificate. The utility allows you to perform defragmentation at the folder level or even an individual file. It can work in normal or accelerated mode, can organize empty disk space to prevent fragmentation, and also has a special function for organizing the registry.

The best programs for cleaning your computer,
search and remove garbage, fix system files

Problem: The ideal case, from the point of view of the load on the system, is when all the necessary software is installed at the very beginning of its operation. Almost any installation of programs and their subsequent removal inevitably leaves behind “garbage” that affects performance in one way or another. This problem can be partially solved by using third-party uninstallers.

Solution: Revo Uninstaller

Photo: image.kg

Latest version: 1.95 FreeWare, 3.1.5 Pro

Russian interface: There is

Terms of distribution: FreeWare, paid PRO version ($39.25)

The application is a kind of cleaning “combine” with several operating modes. The most accurate uninstallation is carried out when the program was installed using Revo Uninstaller. The utility saves the state of the system “before” in its logs and logs changes “in progress”. If the software is already installed, the unique “hunter” mode will help. When it starts, a detailed scan of the system is performed, identifying all connections and dependent components. The free version has a simplified algorithm for this mode. Direct removal can also be performed using several options, from safe to advanced. In any case, the process precedes the creation of a restore point before uninstallation. In addition to performing basic functions, Revo Uninstaller is capable of removing unnecessary and temporary files, cleaning browsers, and managing applications that automatically launch when Windows boots.

Problem: The additional functionality of the Revo Uninstaller program is not able to fully replace both the startup management utilities already discussed and specialized tools for cleaning up garbage in the operating system.

Solution: CCleaner

Photo: fileuppo.com

Latest version: 5.16.5551

Russian interface: There is

Terms of distribution: FreeWare, paid versions Professional ($24.95) and Business ($39.95)

The utility is designed to search and remove any garbage that inevitably appears in the computer's memory during operation. First of all, this concerns the operation of the operating system itself: the recycle bin, temporary files, irrelevant logs, clipboard, memory dumps during failures and other remnants of activity. No less important for the optimal functioning of a computer or laptop is the correctness of the registry, in which outdated keys and entire branches are systematically accumulated that refer to no longer existing paths, libraries, programs, fonts, and so on. Another way to accumulate garbage is Internet surfing. CCleaner allows you to delete your browsing and download history, saved cookies, as well as the cache contents of all popular browsers. Finally, the utility is capable of cleaning up garbage after other programs that create temporary files during operation.

Solution: Wise Disk Cleaner

Latest version: 9.21

Russian interface: There is

Terms of distribution: FreeWare

Defragmentation (optimization) of the drive is only a side function of the utility, although it is performed using improved algorithms and with a visual display of the actions performed, unlike standard Windows tools. The advantage of WDC is the ability to clean the system of unused and temporary files, and this activity can be carried out both comprehensively and by individual categories of “garbage”. For example, unnecessary system files (the lion's share of them are Windows update installers), various auxiliary components of additional software, such as Microsoft Office, as well as the results of Internet surfing, stored in a large number of separate folders, the contents of which will never be accessed by browsers again. Of course, the launch of the utility can be scheduled at the most convenient time for the user, and the composition of the objects to be deleted is fully controlled.

The best universal system optimization programs

Along with utilities tailored to perform a limited range of tasks, many developers offer universal packages that allow for comprehensive system maintenance and optimization.

Auslogics BoostSpeed ​​program

What to do when your computer slows down? Typical problems and solutions

The computer may slow down for the following reasons:

The system disk is running low on free space. Install Wise Disk Cleaner and clean the system. Launch as needed.

The loading time of the operating system has noticeably increased. Use the CCleaner utility. If you suspect that the problem is caused by one of the recently installed programs, optimize startup using one of the appropriate tools. If necessary, remove the problematic application using the Revo Uninstaller utility. Use as needed.

Disk operations have slowed down. Defragment using Defraggler or Wise Disk Cleaner. Run periodically.
