Method / Reason 

Ignoring Windows updates

Many people avoid Windows updates because they feel that it is a waste of time or can cause some harm. But this is a wrong habit. Microsoft releases updates from time to time, which strengthen security and improve speed. Postponing updates can make you an easy target for hackers.

Pile of unnecessary apps

We often install many such apps, which we rarely use. These apps not only occupy storage space, but also affect the speed of the laptop. From time to time go to Settings and delete those apps in the 'Apps and Features' section, which you do not use. This will free up storage and the laptop will work faster.

Opening too many tabs in the browser

Are you also one of those people who keep 20-30 tabs open in the browser at the same time? This habit eats up the RAM of your laptop, making it slow. Especially browsers like Google Chrome use a lot of resources. Close unnecessary tabs. Use the tab group feature, so that important tabs can be organized together. Also, clear the browser cache regularly.

Having too many apps in startup.

Many times, while starting the laptop, many apps start automatically due to the startup menu, which takes time to boot and slows down the system. Go to the task manager and disable those apps from the startup tab that you do not need immediately. This will make the laptop start faster. Keep these things in mind in this way.

Lack of regular maintenance

Not doing regular maintenance of the laptop affects the speed. Accumulation of too many files, old documents and unnecessary software in the download folder puts a burden on the system. Clear the download folder, unnecessary files and old documents once every 2 months. Follow the process of debloating Windows 11 to remove unnecessary installed apps.
