Is your computer running slower than usual? Before you think about buying a new laptop or upgrading your RAM, you should know that Windows has several hidden settings that can significantly boost your performance. In this guide, Trickswithhacker will show you 5 professional "hacks" to make your PC feel brand new again without installing any third-party software.
1. Disable "Resource-Hungry" Startup Apps
Many apps like Spotify, Teams, or Chrome start running automatically the moment you turn on your PC. This slows down your boot time and eats up RAM in the background.
The Trick: Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. Go to the Startup tab. Right-click and Disable any app that you don't need immediately upon startup.
2. Enable "Ultimate Performance" Power Plan
Windows usually hides its most powerful energy setting to save battery, but if you want maximum speed, you need to unlock it.
How to do it: Search for Power Plan in your Windows search bar. Go to Power Options. Look for Ultimate Performance. If it’s not there, it’s a hidden "trick"—you can unlock it via Command Prompt using a simple code to tell your hardware to run at 100% efficiency.
3. Clear the "Prefetch" and "Temp" Folders
Over time, Windows stores thousands of temporary files that clutter your hard drive and slow down file indexing.
The Trick: Press Win + R, type prefetch and hit enter. Delete all files. Repeat the process by typing %temp% and delete those as well. This is like giving your PC a quick "digital detox."
4. Turn Off Transparency Effects
Windows 11 and 10 look beautiful with glass-like transparency, but rendering these effects takes up GPU power.
Action Step: Go to Settings > Personalization > Colors and toggle off Transparency effects. You will notice an immediate snappiness in your windows and menus.
5. Optimize Virtual Memory (V-RAM)
If your physical RAM is low, Windows uses a part of your Hard Drive/SSD as "Virtual Memory." By manually setting this, you can prevent "Lag" during heavy tasks.
The Trick: Go to System Properties > Advanced > Performance Settings > Advanced. Under Virtual Memory, click Change. Set a custom size based on your actual RAM (usually 1.5x your physical RAM).
Conclusion:
You don't always need a "Hacker" tool to make your technology faster. Sometimes, knowing the right settings is the ultimate trick. Try these 5 steps today and feel the difference in your PC's speed!
