turn off visual effects

                               Turning Off Visual Effects

      

    Open the Start menu. This is in the bottom left corner of your computer screen. Visual effects in Windows 8 and 10 were designed for relevant brand-new machines; if you updated to one of these operating systems with an older computer, you've probably noticed some significant slow-down. Turning down the visual effects will speed up your computer's processing immensely.
  • You can also tap the  Win key to open Start.  
  2 

     Open the "Control Panel" app. You can do this by typing "control panel" into Start's search bar, or you can open Control Panel manually from the "Windows System" folder at the bottom of the Start menu.
  3


       Type "Adjust the appearance" into Control Panel's search bar. The search bar is in the top right corner of your Control Panel window.

      
        Click "Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows". This should be near the top of the "System" group on the left side of the Control Panel window.

      5
        Review your computer's visual effects. You have a few options in this menu:
  • Adjust for best appearance - This will turn Windows effects all the way up, which is effectively the opposite of what you should do.
  • Adjust for best performance - This will turn Windows effects down considerably, speeding up your computer in the process.
  • Custom - Un-check the box next to any feature you wish to disable. For optimal performance on an older machine, disable every feature.
      6

         Click the option that best pertains to your PC. For older machines, using the Custom option to disable all visual effects is your best course of action, while the "Adjust for best performance" option will take care of most mid-range computers.
  
  7

          Exit the Performance Options window. You may notice a decrease in the presentation quality on your computer, but its processing speed should have increased.

           Disabling Startup Programs In Computers/Laptops

 1 :  Hold down Alt and Control and tap Delete. This will bring up your PC's task                menu. If you have a myriad of programs starting up when you log into your computer, you'll likely have to deal with several minutes of general slow-down. Disabling startup programs will fix this issue.
2 : Click the "Task Manager" option. This will open your computer's Task Manager, from which you can alter or end PC processes.
3 : Click the "Startup" tab. This is near the top of your Task Manager window; doing so will bring up a list of the programs that boot up when you start your PC.
4 : Click on a process you wish to disable. Note that "disabling" a process will not disable it from running at all; rather, it will prevent the program from starting up automatically.
5 : Click the "Disable" button. This is in the bottom right corner of your Task Manager window.
  • You can also right-click a process and then click "Disable" in the context menu.
6 : Repeat this disabling process for all relevant programs. Some common high memory-usage culprits include Skype, Steam, and most antivirus apps.
If you're unsure of which programs to disable, look at the "Startup impact" column on the right side of the Task Manager window; generally speaking, you should disable any "High"- or "Medium"-rated programs.
7 : Close the Task Manager when you're done. To get the most out of this process, you'll also need to clear out the Hidden Icons menu.
  1. 8 : Open the "Hidden Icons" menu. This is the upward-facing arrow on the right side of your task bar and to the left of your clock. Click or tap it to open your menu.
  2. 9 : Review your Hidden Icons menu. Often, you'll find background processes running here (e.g., Dropbox or Google Drive). Killing these processes will free up random access memory (RAM) which will in turn increase your computer's processing speed. You can end these processes from within this menu.
  3. 10 : Right-click a process you wish to end. For example, if you aren't using your computer's cloud storage app, you should consider ending this process.
  4. 11 : Click "Exit" at the bottom of the context menu. This will usually prompt you to confirm your decision by clicking "Exit (App Name)". You'll need to repeat this process for every single process you want to end.
