10 Ways To Make Your Laptop Work Faster

As much as we hate it, the unfortunate time dawns upon most of us when we go through the exasperating experience of witnessing the sad and slow death of our laptops. It takes eons to start up and applications give up on you when you need them the most. To save you from losing your laptop to the frantic crushing of keys and frustrated slamming of the screen, we have rounded up some tips and tricks to make it start working faster. You don’t have to trade it in yet or start looking for a new one. There are several fixes that can boost up the performance of your system. Scroll down to find out.

Check your hard drive

As time goes by, the hard drive on your laptop starts getting loaded. The more loaded your hard drive is, the slower your laptop gets. The performance is affected since the system has to work harder to look for the files and applications it needs to access. Removing the junk files and programs that you don’t usually use would be a good start to get your laptop to perform better. Sometimes your laptop also has a lot of duplicate files specifically photo and music files concealed in the corners that need to be removed to give your system a performance boost.

Update your operating system

No matter how much you dread putting your laptop on software update and staring at your screens for what feels like hours, doing it is definitely worth it. New software updates fix all the bugs and glitches that might be slowing your laptop down. You will automatically receive update notifications whenever there is one needed. If you think you might have missed an update, simply go to Start, click on the gear icon of Settings and go to Updates & Security > Windows Updates. Keeping your system updated will not only improve performance but also keep security in check.

Uninstall unused programs

Even if you have removed the unused programs that come pre-installed with most computers, there might still be many applications that you installed at one point and no longer have any need for them. These applications take up tons of disk space, use up memory and run background processes, eventually effecting the performance of your laptop. Uninstall all such applications and programs that you don’t use to help your laptop run smoother.

Defrag your hard drive

Once you have removed the unnecessary programs, defragmenting your hard drive would be a great next step. With time, the hard drive gets fragmented with small pockets of data deposited all over the platter. This makes the drive work harder to collect information scattered around, causing it to run slower. Although your operating system defragments the hard drive automatically but if you feel like there might be an issue you can do it manually as well. Simply type ‘defragment’ in the search bar next to the Start button. Defragment and Optimise Drives will be one of the results. Select this and you would be greeted by a dialog box listing the hard drives in your laptop and their optimisation status. If you see one of your drives fragmented by 10% or more, select it and hit optimise below. This will also contribute to the better performance of your laptop.

Declutter your desktop

If you’re someone who never bothers with the number of files lying around on their desktop screen, it’s time you looked into decluttering and organising your files into folders. It not only clears up your background, but also puts lesser load on your RAM. When you have hundreds of icons littering the background screen, your laptop loads each individual icons taking up a lot of RAM space.

Stop programs from automatically launching

Programs that launch automatically upon starting up your laptop are not only slightly annoying, but they also eat up a lot of space. To prevent it from happening, simply search for ‘msconfig’ on your Windows laptop and click on the Startup tab. A dialog box will pop up where you can uncheck the programs you don’t want launching automatically.

Delete unused browser extensions

Whether to keep grammar in check or pin up images to your Pinterest boards, extensions and plugins come in handy most of the times. However, if you go overboard and install too many, they are bound to affect the speed and slow down your web browser. If you have installed so many that you’ve forgotten about half of them, it’s time to uninstall the ones you don’t actively use.

Delete temporary files

Your browsing history, cookies, cached images and files can take up a lot of valuable space on your hard disk slowing the laptop down. You can create more space by using Windows built-in clean-up functions. To delete these temporary files on your Windows laptop, simply look for ‘Disk Cleanup’ in the search bar, select the drive you want to clean and hit ‘OK’.

Get an SSD drive

If your laptop uses a hard drive, consider opting for a solid-state drive instead to boost up the performance up to six times. Durable and energy-efficient, SSDs use flash memory to store data providing better performance and reliability in comparison to an HDD. The absence of moving parts in an SSD generates less heat, hence increasing its lifespan and durability. An SSD drive guarantees smoother boot-ups, quick file-loading and overall faster computing experience.

Store old data on an external drive

If you have old photos that you rarely look at or documents that you no longer find yourself going back to, taking up the better part of your storage space, transfer them to cloud or an external drive. Photo, in particular, might seem like deceivingly small files. But when they are hundreds and thousands in numbers, they easily take up tons of space on your hard drive. Moving them will give your laptop a surprising boost in performance.

Making your laptop work faster is easier than you think. Follow these quick fixes and enjoy a faster, smoother computing experience.

What Could Be Causing Your Laptop To Heat Up Fast?

If you can barely stand to touch the keyboard and the bottom surface of your laptop has started to feel like a portal to hellfire, then you are one of the unfortunate souls cursed with laptop overheating. One of the major problems that laptop users eventually have to face is overheating that damages both the laptop and the internal components. Once damaged, replacing those internal components can be quite costly. Overheating also causes your laptop to slow down and deliver poor performance. If the problem worsens, your laptop may also start shutting down on its own after some time, much to your frustration, in the middle of an important task. The overheating problem may also lead to safety issues and even cause burns if not taken care of. However, the burning question is, what might be causing the overheating. This problem has also been observed with desktop PCs. To be able to fix this issue, getting to the root cause is of immense importance. Let’s look into a few factors that might be the possible culprits behind your laptop heating up fast.

Faulty fan

One of the common causes of your laptop heating up fast could be a malfunctioning fan because without a working fan, there is no way for your laptop to cool down. You should be able to hear the fan running and feel the air blown out of the exhaust vent. Sometimes the fan stops working after you boot up the system. If you don’t hear or feel it working, restart your laptop after a few minutes. A fan could also stop working or work slower due to a damaged capacitor. You should look into a faulty fan immediately before the overheating problem worsens.

Blockage in exhaust vents

Exhaust vents are placed at the sides or the back of the laptop and help with the cooling down of the device. However, over time, just like any other vent, exhaust vents of laptops may get clogged due to accumulated dust and smut. This dust stuck in the vents restricts airflow around the internal components of the laptop and the heat generated cannot be exhausted away, consequently, causing the laptop to overheat.

Laptop placement

Most users take full advantage of the portability of the laptop and use it in every position except for the right one. On the pillow, in the bed, on the lap, instead of a hard, flat and clean surface to facilitate proper ventilation. Using it on soft surfaces such as pillows blocks the airflow causing the laptop to overheat. To prevent this from happening, elevate your laptop with a book or a plank or ideally invest into a cooling pad. In addition to raising it to ease airflow, a cooling pad also has a fan to cool down your laptop.

Malware running on your laptop

Another reason for your laptop heating up fast could be the annoying malware running on your system, sometimes, even without you knowing about it. Viruses, ransomware, spyware, adware and other several kinds of malware take tons of space on your RAM putting a strain on the laptop and affecting the overall performance. Overheating is another unpleasant souvenir that the malware leaves. There are several softwares available for you to cure your infected laptop and get rid of the malware, eventually solving the overheating problem.

Incompatible operating system

Although it’s not very common but sometimes upgrading your laptop with a new operating system could also cause overheating. While your intention may be to make your laptop work smoother, the newly installed operating system could result in reserve effect due to its incompatibility with the device. Windows 10, in particular, has often been observed to cause an overheating problem. Similarly, sometimes, the new drivers could also be the reason behind your laptop heating up fast.

Upgrading your laptop with new hardware

In contrast to desktop PCs that are fairly easy to upgrade, whether it’s the RAM, graphics card or SSD, upgrading a laptop is not only frustratingly difficult but may also result in a nuisance rather than improvement. New hardware, sometimes, can cause your laptop to use more resources which in turn make it heat up fast. While components compatible with desktop PCs are readily available, parts and accessories for the laptops may not be easily found. The upgrading leads to overheating problems because the new parts fitted are not manufacturer-approved or recommended.

One of the aforementioned factors could be the reason behind your laptop overheating. Once you know the real cause, fixing it will be easier than you think. Keep visiting our blog for the latest updates and answers to your tech problems.
