    To make the computer running faster, you have to disable startup apps, clean junk files and uninstall apps you don't use. And most importantly, you have to do this regularly. This could take a lot of times.

    If you prefer an easy way to do that, here is the trick with CleanMate app:

"My computer is running slow Windows 11?" Here are some simple and easy steps you can try to improve the speed of your Windows 11 computer:

1. Restart Your Computer
Sometimes, a simple restart can fix temporary issues and speed things up.

2. Check Storage Space
Open File Explorer (Windows key + E).
Click on "This PC" on the left.
See how much free space is available on your C: drive.
If it's almost full (less than 10% free), consider deleting unnecessary files or apps.

3. Close Unnecessary Background Apps
Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
Under the "Processes" tab, see which apps are using a lot of CPU or Memory.
Right-click on any app you don't need and select "End task."

4. Disable Startup Programs
In Task Manager, go to the "Startup" tab.
Disable programs that you don't need to start automatically when your computer turns on.

5. Run Windows Troubleshooter
Go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
Run the "Performance" troubleshooter if available.
