With only 4GB of RAM, Windows 10 likely "swaps" data to the SSD frequently. You need to keep as much RAM free as possible. Here are 3 simple ways to make Windows 10 PC run faster.
Disable Startup Apps: Many programs launch automatically and stay in your RAM.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
- Go to the Startup tab.
- Right-click and Disable anything you don't need immediately (e.g., Spotify, Steam, Cortana, OneDrive).
Adjust Visual Effects: Windows uses RAM to make animations look pretty. Turning these off makes the UI feel much snappier. You can follow the steps below to make pc fun faster for Windows 10/11.
- Search for "Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows."
- Select Adjust for best performance.
- (Optional) Check "Smooth edges of screen fonts" so text doesn't look jagged.
Use Lightweight Browsers: Chrome is famous for eating RAM. Consider using Microsoft Edge (with "Efficiency Mode" turned on) or Opera GX, which allows you to set a hard limit on how much RAM the browser can use.
