How to speed up windows 11 and make it run faster?
My laptop was recently upgraded to Windows 11, but noticed that my computer runs slower than it used to be. There is a noticeable delay when opening the Start menu, and some applications take longer to launch than expected. I am looking for safe, effective ways to speed up Windows 11 and make the overall user interface feel more responsive for better performance.
Could anyone provide a checklist of the most impactful tweaks for a smoother experience? I'd also appreciate recommendations for any PC clean tool that I might be overlooking.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Please adjust visual effects for speeding up windows 11 and let it run faster.
Windows 11 prioritizes a sleek, modern interface with animations, transparency, and shadow effects. While these make the system visually appealing, they consume significant graphics processing power (GPU) and system memory (RAM). By optimizing or disabling these effects, you can free up valuable resources, leading to a noticeably snappier and more responsive user experience, especially on older or lower-spec hardware. This adjustment trades visual flair for raw performance.
How to do it:
1. Search for “View advanced system settings” in the Start menu.
2. Under the Advanced tab, click Settings in the Performance section.
3. Select “Adjust for best performance” to disable all effects, or manually disable animations like transparency and fade effects.
4. Click Apply, then OK. You may be prompted for administrator confirmation.
5. Finally, click OK to close the "System Properties" window. The changes take effect immediately.
By adjusting or disabling Windows 11's visual effects, you directly reduce the load on your CPU and GPU, reallocating those resources to active applications and system processes. This method provides an instant way to speed up Windows 11 for gaming. It's one of the most effective software tweaks for revitalizing the feel of an aging computer.
