Optimize your Windows for Best Performance

Published by nimsrules under Tips & Tricks Edit This

Hello frendz , do own a PC which has aged though years and not being compatible for simultaneous applications ?? Well , even if you don’t I got a trick for your Windows which can get your system smooth and fast in 10 seconds. Yeah I myself am a hard core gamer so preferred XP over VISTA , because VISTA consumes 40 % of your graphical requirements which should have been saved for your gaming and other high end application running.

But even after switching to XP I found somehow my system lagged and my games lagged too. Because there were flashy icons, window dragging , shadowing , visual styles , animations and much more enabled which ate away the performance my game demamded… What could I do ?? I searched every ‘properties’ option I could get my hands on and there it was I found a solution for us which gives relief from this problem.

Let me guide you through this process step by step :

- Right click on my computer and select the last option ‘properties’.

- You shall see a lot of tabs . Select the ‘Advanced’ tab.

- Under that there are three options ( performance , user profiles and start up & recovery ).

- click on the ‘Settings’ button under ‘performance’.

- The ‘visual effects’ tab is default active and the option ‘ Let windows choose what’s best for my computer’ is selected.

- Shift the radio button selection from ‘ Let Windows…… ‘ to the third option ‘ Adjust for best performance’.

- Apply . OK.

And you are done.

your system might take some time to get adjusted to the new settings. But experience the new speed of your PC. Hope you find this Article valuable.

Thank you. Nirmal !
