Speed up Windows for heavy development.

Hey everyone, This is Akash.
I am a windows user, ofc, my PC is too noob for Linux.
From time-to-time, my pc gets slow AF, so I have some hacks to fast it up and clean memory.

My PC Specs

My PC Specs

Well, the specs might be less, but works just fine after my hacks.

Step 1

  • Press Win + R.
  • Type temp and click on OK.
  • Select all with Ctrl + A.
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + Del.

This will clear your temp cache and free up memory and disk.

  • Now, Repeat the step with %temp% and prefetch. %temp% Prefetch

Step 2

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, To Open Task Manager.
  • Goto the Startup tab.
  • Disable all the Enabled Apps. Task Manager

Step 3

  • Keep C: drive (OR your OS Drive) as clean as possible. File Manager

Finally, Let's Sum Up

  • Repeat Step 1 everyday when you start your PC/Laptop.
  • Regular Shutdown's also keeps your processor cool. (Not applicable on laptops by office ) Laugh

These steps can be very helpful for webdevs and flutter devs..
