PC Optimization

[1823alex]

So my computer has been a bit slow at boot up, let windows do it's disk check on startup, anyways so when I start my pc I have something around 120 processes running? It seems all are ASUS' processes I've gone into the msconfig and removed everything I know forsure I don't need, I run CCleaner about once to twice a week, windows does an automatic disk defrag every wednesday, but yet somehow my pc is still kinda slow at boot. So can I kill anything in my system that can be eliminated?

iTunes

So how can I optimize my computer? Right now I have 140 processes... I'd put them all here but I can't CTRL + A or CTRL + C or CTRL + V in task manager I'm willing to put the tasks here just not one by one so if anyone has a way to control a in task manager or a different free program that may help my issue that'd be great.

Backup then format and re-install.

And don't install useless crap.

 

Sorry but there isn't MUCH you can do when you have put so much shit on your system....

 

You could try malwarebytes

Go into msconfig, Boot, tick No GUI Boot, go into advanced, tick number of processors and tick max memory.

[TheRuke]

iTunes is really slowing you down. Probably Skype too.

[DAGEEK]

open them manually

Backup then format and re-install.

And don't install useless crap.

Pretty much what I do as soon as I see a programm I don't want.

So what can I eliminate?

[Bonsai99]

I've gone into the msconfig and removed everything I know forsure I don't need, I run CCleaner about once to twice a week, windows does an automatic disk defrag every wednesday, but yet somehow my pc is still kinda slow at boot. So can I kill anything in my system that can be eliminated?

So how can I optimize my computer? Right now I have 140 processes... I'd put them all here but I can't CTRL + A or CTRL + C or CTRL + V in task manager I'm willing to put the tasks here just not one by one so if anyone has a way to control a in task manager or a different free program that may help my issue that'd be great.

I would suggest you do a clean install and limit the amount of programs you re-install. You probably don't need all of what you have right now anyway.

[blastedryan]

open ccleaner

tools

startup

"windows" tab

disable everything other than system stuff, antivirus, and driver stuff.

 

then go to the "scheduled tasks" tab and disable everything.

[Akolyte]

Its Avast simple as that. I have been doing things with antivirus software for a while now and I know that Avast is a CPU and disk hog.  So quite frankly I would try a different antivirus, or maybe turn down the settings or try stop everything else and see if that works.

True, but he can customize Avast sheilds, especially file system sheild. I always set not to scan files/dll's and so on, while allowing to scan autoplay items, and if i need for some file, scan it manually. Network sheilds left as they are.

 

That way, Avast work perfectly,a nd you can't "feel" it on your OS, same as it isn't there (also, turning off the cloud = if rpesent).

I agree with TheRuke. Your computer has to handle with all those programs right on startup. It's like if you were to highlight all those programs and hit enter to start them up at the same time. I recommend re-considering what you really need open at startup.

 

Hope this Helps!
