How to make Windows 11 faster and more responsive?

Microsoft’s most recent operating system, Windows 11, comes with a number of handy new features. On the other hand, some users may find the upgrade to be a lengthy process.

If you recently upgraded it and are experiencing frustrating PC performance, you’ve come to the right place.

You shouldn’t be discouraged from upgrading to Windows 11 just because your computer seems to be running slower. Slow performance can be caused by the accumulation of unnecessary temporary files and the use of inactive applications. As a result, there are a number of things you can do to improve its responsiveness.

It is quite common to have a large number of unnecessary applications installed on your hard drive. Remove any software that was installed without your permission, such as software that came with a bundled install, and any programs that you no longer need.

Additionally, you can disable startup programs to reduce the boot time of your operating system. These are the programs that are usually launched as soon as your computer is turned on and you can find them in Task Manager, under the Startup tab.

Changing power plans on Windows 11 is possible if you want the best possible performance, but you don’t mind sacrificing battery life in the process. It will optimize it with the appropriate settings, allowing you to get the best possible performance from your computer’s hardware.

Another option is to delete any temporary files that have been created. These are the files that are created and saved on the computer or laptop when the applications undertake operations to ensure flawless operation.

And finally, update your drivers. Outdated device drivers can cause a plethora of bugs and errors that will slow down your computer. By maintaining them, you will not only speed up your operating system, but you will also avoid unnecessary problems.
