Here are the 2 best ways to speed up Windows 11 and make it run faster:
Run Storage Cleanup & Disable Unnecessary Services
Over time, junk files, cache, and unnecessary services can slow down your PC.
- Use Disk Cleanup (search for it in Start menu) to remove temporary files.
- Open Storage Sense (Settings → System → Storage) and enable automatic cleanup.
- Disable non-essential services by typing “services.msc” in Run (Win + R), then turning off services like SysMain (SuperFetch) if you have an SSD, or other services you don’t need (be cautious).
Check for Malware & Update System & Drivers
Malware or outdated drivers can cause slowdowns.
- Run a scan with Windows Security (Windows Defender) or a trusted antivirus.
- Go to Settings → Windows Update and install the latest updates.
- Update drivers via Device Manager or your PC manufacturer’s update tool (especially graphics and chipset drivers).
Bonus tip: If you have an older PC with limited RAM, adding more RAM or upgrading to an SSD (if still using an HDD) will give the most significant performance boost. This will speed up Windows 11 permanently.
