A program to increase the performance of a windows 7 computer. A program to optimize a computer on Windows

In this review, we presented the best programs for optimizing your PC, with which you can clean your computer of debris, set optimal settings and speed up the device. The functional capabilities of the utilities discussed below will help to remove any software, perform optimization and defragmentation with one click, encrypt folders and files, recover lost files and more.

Our selection will help you choose the best optimizer and get the computer working properly.

Glary Utilities - a free set of programs that optimize and clean the system.

Uninstall Tool is a free utility that allows you to configure applications, completely remove installed software, clean autorun OSes and view hidden programs. It has a Russian-language and readable interface with the ability to change its appearance by the user.

Many programs start automatically when you turn on the computer, which is why the system takes longer to load. In addition, these programs take up excess RAM, and by the way, you do not always need it.

  To edit the list of programs for startup, you must click the "Start" button and type msconfig in the search bar. In the “Startup” tab, the checkmarks indicate the programs that start when the computer is turned on. It remains to remove the daws from unnecessary programs.

  Be careful not to disable startup of utilities and antivirus products.

3. Disabling startup unnecessary fonts

When you turn on your computer, Windows loads a set of over 200 different fonts. You can disable unnecessary ones as follows: “Start” - Control Panel - Appearance and Personalization - Fonts. Open the context menu with the right button and on the unnecessary font and select "Hide".

  Only comic sans only hardcore!

4. Delete temporary files

In the process of working on the hard disk, a lot of temporary files are created daily, which somehow imperceptibly become permanent. They also greatly reduce the overall speed of the computer.

  Regular cleaning of the computer will speed up the loading of the operating system and programs, as well as free up space on your hard drive.

  To do this, just open My computer - the partition with the operating system (usually Drive C: \\) - the Windows folder - the Temp folder, and then delete all the files and empty the Trash.

5. Disk Cleanup

To optimize Windows, Microsoft developers have provided a built-in utility to clean the disk. It searches and deletes “junk” files, such as temporary Internet files, distributions of installed programs, various error reports, and others.

  Go to the Start menu - All programs - Accessories - Utilities - Disk Cleanup.

6. Disk Defragmenter

Having deleted unnecessary programs and files, do disk defragmentation, i.e. regrouping files on your hard drive for maximum PC optimization.

  Defragmentation can be performed using Windows, or you can use special programs - this is a topic for a separate article.

  The standard procedure will look like this - in Explorer, select the partition for defragmentation (for example, drive D: \\) and right-click on it, in the menu that appears, open Properties and on the Tools tab, click "Defragment".

7. Install SSD

A solid-state drive will help to speed up the loading of the operating system and programs, the self-installation of which we considered in a laptop. If you don’t have enough funds for a 500 GB SSD, it makes sense to purchase a disk at least to install the operating system - it will just fly on the new SSD.

8. Install HDD


There are many video guides for installing HDD on YouTube. Here is one of them

If the budget does not allow you to spend on expensive SSD-drives, do not abandon the more traditional components. Installing an additional HDD will significantly improve PC performance.

  So, if the hard drive is occupied by more than 85%, the computer will work many times slower. In addition, self-installing an additional hard drive on a stationary PC is even easier than an SSD.

9. Installing additional RAM

RAM is used to process running programs. The more information that needs to be processed, the greater the amount of RAM required.

If there is not enough memory, the system begins to use the resources of the hard drive, which leads to a critical slowdown of the computer and Windows freezes.

  Adding or replacing RAM strips is easy. For a regular computer with a set of standard office programs, 4 GB of RAM is enough, and for a gaming PC, you can think of 16 GB or more.

10. Cleaning

Dust is the enemy of computer number 2 (everyone knows that the enemy number 1 is). It interferes with normal ventilation, as a result of which PC components can overheat, slowing down the system. Extreme overheating of components can lead to their complete failure.

  Turn off the computer at least half an hour before cleaning. Do not carry out cleaning in synthetic clothes - as a result of friction, static charge may occur, which can damage components. To remove static, touch the unpainted portion of the central heating battery.

  Turn on the vacuum cleaner at low power and gently remove dust from all parts of the PC. Particular attention should be paid to the power supply, CPU cooler and video card, where most of the dust accumulates.

The accumulation of remnants of remote applications, unnecessary registry entries, temporary files, logs that remain after updating Windows and programs, and other garbage reduces the speed of the computer. If all this is not removed, over time, the PC becomes so slow and annoying that the user can not stand it and reinstalls the system. However, after a couple of months, everything returns to normal - and the brakes, and low FPS, and all kinds of glitches. Meanwhile, the problem is solved simply - it is enough 1-2 times a month to do prophylaxis using a program to clean the computer. They will be discussed today.

We have prepared a brief overview of the capabilities of the best Windows utilities that can give your system acceleration of up to 50-70% from the initial level. All of them are free and are designed for novice users.

CCleaner is one of the most popular Windows cleaning utilities in the user rating. And one of the safest. The cleaning of the registry and applications in CCleaner is configured so that with all the desire you can’t remove something important, thereby disrupting the performance of the system. In this part, newbie users can fearlessly use the program. However, it also has such functions that it is better not to touch them without proper knowledge. One of them is erasing disks. If you accidentally confuse it with disk cleanup (a built-in Windows optimization tool), you can permanently lose any important data, since the program destroys them permanently.

Proper use of CCleaner allows you to speed up your computer by 5-50%. The result depends on the initial clutter of the system and the amount of information on the disks.

CCleaner Features

All application functions are divided into 4 groups, and groups into subgroups. The first group - "Cleaning", includes sections:

• Windows (Edge and Internet Explorer web browsers, Explorer, system components, etc.).
• Applications (third-party browsers, multimedia, Internet applications, system applications, etc.).

Clearing both removes only temporary and unnecessary data without affecting the core.

The second group - “Register”, has no subgroups. Here is a tool to fix registry errors and clean it from garbage.

The third group - “Service, contains the following sections:

• Manage startup programs.
• Manage browser add-ons.

Wise care 365

Wise Care 365 - is an impressive package of utilities for optimizing your computer, most of which are available for free (the application is available in two versions - free and premium, in the free version some items are blocked). As in CCleaner, Wise Care 365 scans the system for garbage, errors, incorrect settings (from the point of view of developers) and makes it possible to fix this, either individually or in bulk.

With this program, the user can clean and optimize Windows without thinking about the purpose of a particular function. It is enough to start the scan and click the “Fix” button after it.

Wise Care 365 Features

Wise Care 365 features are also divided into groups. The first tab - “Scan”, is designed for a comprehensive search and troubleshooting throughout the system. The following parameters are checked:

• Security.
• Unnecessary files (temporary, cache, logs, etc.).
• Invalid registry entries.
• System optimization (the presence of factors affecting performance).
• Computer history (opening documents and visiting web resources through Internet Explorer).

After scanning, the program determines the “health” index of the PC and offers to fix errors with the click of a button.

On the same - the first tab is a panel of additional utilities. In the free version are available:

Windows cleaner

The composition of the Windows Cleaner utility includes tools to free the system from unnecessary files, registry entries and unused programs that can be run manually and on schedule. Of the optimization tools, there is only startup control. There are no options aimed at improving the speed of the computer (not including cleaning tools).

Windows Cleaner keeps a history of previous cleanups. If you accidentally delete an important registry entry or file, the program allows you to undo the last operations - perform system recovery to a checkpoint.

Windows Cleaner Features

In the "Cleaning" section of Windows Cleaner are two tabs: "Files" and "Registry". The first is a list of unnecessary file system objects, the second is a registry entry. The program supports 4 cleaning modes of both:

• Fast.
• Optimal.
• Deep.

The applications included in this review support all editions of Windows, starting with XP and ending with Windows 10. We decided not to talk about programs whose authors limited themselves to supporting systems up to Windows 7, because today they are irrelevant.

If we talk about the good work of a computer system, it is worth noting that, along with computer diagnostic programs, free computer optimization programs, which are most often called tweakers, have become very widespread. Computer optimization is very important! It is computer optimization that determines the speed of the computer itself and the durability of the system. You can download free application data for optimizing your computer on our website in this section. Our computer optimization programs, which you can download for free, will help optimize your computer at a professional level. Utilities for optimizing your computer, which can be downloaded for free here, allow you to fine-tune many of the parameters of the Windows system, provide versatile error correction and a fairly high degree of increase speed. Download software to optimize the system - the most correct and logical solution.

Among the optimizers that can be downloaded for free on our website, you can find many specialized utilities or entire software packages that combine all the features of tweakers created for a particular task. Each file that you decide to download for free has been thoroughly tested, so deciding to download something from us, you can not worry about security.

If we talk about what constitutes optimization of the computer and Windows, then it is absolutely impossible to give an unambiguous definition. This is due primarily to the fact that there are a lot of directions in the processes of optimizing Windows. Therefore, an inexperienced user may wonder what exactly to download for optimization. This includes antivirus protection, ensuring confidentiality of information, fixing errors in the Windows registry, optimizing Internet connection settings, deleting unnecessary files or duplicates, installing the latest device drivers, defragmenting disks, cleaning up traces of work on the World Wide Web with deleting temporary files, and much more another. To solve each of these problems, there is software that can be downloaded for free on our website.

A modern computer or laptop with Windows operating system on board refers to such a type of device that even with careful installation of uninstalling programs, staying on the World Wide Web, or a desire to download certain files, an unnecessary amount of information is accumulated and errors occur, resulting in the whole Windows system starts to slow down over time. Speed \u200b\u200bup its work and designed programs to optimize the computer. Most software packages, which include cleaning and optimization of a computer, are distributed quite freely; you can download such applications for free anywhere. Our section allows each user to download such software. Moreover, most of them have several main categories and criteria by which the computer is optimized. To study in detail all the products most optimally of all, having previously downloaded them and having tried all the functions in practice.

First of all, it is necessary to note the optimization and defragmentation of the Windows registry. And for these purposes you can download the necessary software for free in this section! Often, precisely because of the presence of incorrect and outdated entries in it, as well as a lot of errors, the system itself requires much more time to download or launch a particular software component. Along the way, it is worth noting the management of startup items and background services. Windows startup can also take quite a while if there are too many services, not to mention those processes that are constantly in the computer’s memory and not visible to the user. In addition, it accelerates access to the most frequently used programs and defragmentation of hard drives, allowing you to move such files to the fastest areas of the hard drive.

As for the Internet connection, the traces of work and the presence of temporary files, the optimization allows you to set optimal parameters, excluding the fast loading of recently visited pages and the transfer of information, say, and your search queries to the corresponding servers of these services. Well, with antivirus software and its role in optimizing the system, perhaps everything is clear.

As mentioned above, many programs for optimizing Windows and a computer can be downloaded for free. On our site in the appropriate section presents the best programs for optimizing your computer. As for the Internet, many users use “queries to optimize computer performance,” “free software to optimize computer performance,” “download software to optimize computer performance,” “free software to optimize,” to search computer ”,“ cleaning and optimizing a computer ”,“ optimizing the operation of a computer, download for free ”or“ optimization and cleaning programs for a computer ”. In the search results you can see not only the software products for optimization themselves, but also some descriptive articles explaining the basics of working with such utilities, and, of course, download free products for optimizing the computer and its system (often Windows). But in most cases, the tweakers you decide to download for free automatically have an operating mode, although for advanced users there is a special advanced settings mode, usually called Advanced. We offer you a wide selection of utilities for optimizing the system, each of which can be downloaded for free. Choosing a product to optimize the system, you can safely make the decision to download it, since all the software, including those for optimizing your computer, undergoes a thorough anti-virus scan and is completely safe, unlike many files that offer to download questionable sites.

On the network you can find a lot of utilities, the authors of which assure users that their computer will simply “take off” after using this software. As a rule, the PC speed remains at the same level, with the only difference being that as a bonus you will get a dozen advertising scripts that will be implemented in the OS and browser without your knowledge.

Despite the widespread dominance in such programs, one can find quite adequate utilities that honestly clean your desktop from garbage and carry out some other useful procedures, which will make your computer work a little faster than before.

But today we’ll talk about programs to improve computer performance that can really speed up your PC. Here we are talking about high-quality cleaning of the operating system, its optimal configuration for a particular application, as well as other necessary procedures.

So, we present to your attention the best programs for promotion in the Windows environment. All the software described below received some awards at exhibitions and competitions dedicated to utilities, and also has a lot of positive reviews on specialized forums.

Advanced systemcare

The first thing to mention when talking about this program to improve computer performance is caring for the user. You do not need to explore the menu branches, deal with complex settings or study a thick manual. It is enough to install, run and click on the "Analysis" button. Then you will be asked to get rid of the found garbage, registry errors and unnecessary programs in autorun, and after that your computer will start to work noticeably faster.

Utility Benefits:

• availability of a free distribution license (with limited functionality);
• improves overall platform performance and speeds up network access;
• it is possible to fine-tune the OS for specific applications;
• detects spyware and ad scripts with subsequent removal;
• optimizes and organizes the registry;
• fixes some system vulnerabilities.

Advanced SystemCare is one of the best software to improve computer performance. This utility is a kind of complex responsible for optimizing and cleaning the platform of garbage. In just a couple of clicks, you can significantly increase the speed of the operating system, and at the same time get rid of a whole bunch of related problems.

Despite the double reviews on the forums, the software is enviable among a large number of users. The program works to improve computer performance on Windows XP, 7, 8, and 10. No problems with version adaptation were noticed, and the utility interface is stable and does not freeze.

Auslogics BoostSpeed

Surely everyone who launches this program for the first time to improve computer performance will be surprised how much garbage has accumulated in the operating system. After the wizard finishes, a detailed list is displayed on the screen with the name of the problem and options for solving it. If you don’t want to bother with each item, then you can shift all the questions to the shoulders of the intelligent machine. The utility is perfect for those who are dissatisfied with the speed of the Windows platform and often observe its freezes and some other glitches.

Advantages of the program:

• deep analysis and cleaning of the hard drive from unnecessary files and folders;
• work with incorrect system settings and parameters that directly affect PC speed;
• fixing platform vulnerabilities;
• editing and competent recommendations regarding startup options.

As a small fly in the ointment, you can designate an exclusively paid distribution license, that is, without trial and other free periods of use. But judging by the mass of positive reviews on the forums, the utility is worth the money. The program works to improve computer performance on Windows 7, 8, and 10. No problems with adaptation to platforms were also noticed.

Glary utilities

This utility is a real processor for optimizing and cleaning your PC. The program is aimed not only at ridding the hard drive and registry of any garbage, but it is also an excellent tool for solving internal problems with RAM.

In addition, the functionality of the utility allows you to conduct a full audit of the platform with subsequent optimization: browser system files, some backups, defragmentation of the hard disk, obtaining hidden information about the OS, etc.

Software Features

Also pleasing is the fact that the work of the program to improve computer performance on Windows 7, 8 and 10 is stable and does not cause any complaints. The interface does not slow down, does not buggy, does not annoy the user with crashes, which often distinguishes other similar utilities.

Many users were pleased with the free distribution license, which is just a gift for the available features. We add here the sensible Russian-language localization, frequent (and necessary) updates - and we get an excellent complex for solving problems with PC performance.

Game buster

As the name implies, this utility is aimed at optimizing the platform for gaming applications. Immediately it is worth noting that the developer strongly recommends updating the drivers of your video card before using the software. Otherwise, you risk receiving the opposite effect.

A program works to improve computer performance on Windows 10, 8, 7, and even XP. Judging by user reviews, this is one of the most successful products for optimizing the platform for games. In addition, the program has earned the respect of many gamers who cannot afford to buy top-end video cards.

Utility Features

NVidia has a similar built-in tool - Experience, but it, whatever one may say, is implemented clumsily and only partially helps. While the Game Buster dramatically intervenes in your operating system and optimizes everything on the shelves to run a particular game. Moreover, it does this most painlessly for both the user and the Windows platform.

The utility disables all, so to speak, unnecessary processes and launches the game application in a "clean" environment, without unnecessary add-ons and other entourage that is familiar to the desktop. This allows you to significantly add speed to the processor and video card, since it is not distracted by the ordinary processes of the system. And this is, first of all, an increase in the FPS, which is necessary for gamers with mediocre video cards.
