Is your PC running slower than a Monday morning?
Try these quick fixes before you pull your hair out:
✅ temp – Delete system temporary files. Highlight all and delete; they only take up space and slow down your PC
✅ %temp% – Remove user temporary files (often forgotten). Same as above—safe to delete
✅ prefetch – Clear cached program files
✅ cleanmgr – Open Disk Cleanup to free up space
✅ taskmgr – Task Manager: See which apps are hogging CPU and memory
✅ msconfig – Manage startup programs to speed up boot time
✅ services.msc – Stop heavy or stuck services
✅ control update – Check for pending Windows updates
✅ sfc /scannow – Scan and repair corrupted system files
✅ DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth – Deep system repair
✅ chkdsk /f – Fix disk errors.
✅ powercfg.cpl – Adjust power settings (avoid power-saving mode for performance).
