zillah Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Hi I am using windows 10 64 bit I don’t know if I should believe myth that says do a fresh windows installation every 4 or 5 years as it gets clogged and I feel windows slows down comparing when it was fresh installation Although I use utility Revo Uninstaller (there are others) that is supposed not to leave a leftover in windows registry when you uninstall a program I do not let unnecessary program to run in the background https://imgur.com/a/mMfp5zV Only I have ESET and MalwareBytes running when windows start In past I used many utilities that check and tweak windows OS but it didn’t restore windows to its origin state when it was freshly installed Is this true myth Is there a trust program that check windows 10 health and advise accordingly ? Am I missing some important steps? What are most trusted programs worth to have / buy it ? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 What sort of drive do you have as the boot drive - an older "spinner" SATA Hard Drive or a modern Solid State drive ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Yes I recommend that you clone your old H/D to a new SSD - you should find a great improvement in booting up speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrgghh12 Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Using an SSD for boot drive makes a great difference. Also take a look at all the services and apps that launch during boot time, disable what is not necessary. Disk optimisation for SSD / defragmentation for HDD every month can also be a good idea.
