Ever opened your laptop, only to wait... and wait... like it's waking up from a 10-year nap? You’re not alone. Many people think a slow laptop means you need a new one — but hold on. Sometimes, all it takes is a little cleanup and a few clicks.
In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through 3 simple steps that can boost your laptop’s speed in less than 10 minutes.

Step 1: Disable Unnecessary Startup Programs
When your PC starts, a bunch of apps try to launch at once — even ones you don’t use every day. That slows everything down.
How to fix it:
1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
2. Click the Startup tab.
3. Right-click any program you don’t need at startup and choose Disable.
Pro Tip: Leave security apps like antivirus enabled, but apps like Spotify, Zoom, or Chrome can usually wait

Step 2: Clear Temporary Files
Your system stores a ton of temporary files that build up over time — and they slow things down.
How to clear them:
1. Press Windows + R to open the Run box.
2. Type %temp% and press Enter.
3. Select all files in the folder and delete them. (Don’t worry, it’s safe.)

Step 3: Restart Your Laptop
It might sound basic, but restarting helps your computer apply the changes and breathe a little easier.
