My computer is running slow in windows 11. How to fix this?
How to fix computer is running slow Windows 11? Memory Compression Tuning in Windows 11 is a feature that helps improve system responsiveness by compressing unused or less frequently used pages in RAM, rather than writing them to disk. This process reduces the need for disk I/O, which can improve performance, especially on systems with limited RAM.
Should you tweak or tune Memory Compression if Computer is running slow Windows 11?
In most cases, Windows manages memory compression automatically and efficiently. Tuning or disabling it is not recommended for typical users because:
* It’s built into Windows and optimized for performance.
* Disabling it can lead to increased disk swapping, which may worsen performance if your system has limited RAM.
When might tuning or disabling Memory Compression help?
If you have plenty of RAM and want to maximize raw performance.
If you are troubleshooting specific memory issues (rare).
If you're an advanced user experimenting with system performance.
How to check or disable Memory Compression:
Disabling memory compression is generally not recommended, but if you want to experiment:
1. Open Registry Editor (regedit).
2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management.
3. Find the value named CompressionEnabled.
4. Set it to 0 to disable compression.
5. Restart your PC.
