I made this change to my PC after learning of this little trick a few weeks ago. It has tremendously improved the overall performance of my computer. Essentially, with this method, you'll be requiring your Windows operating system to do less work/processing and in return will have a less-taxed CPU (meaning improved performance).

This works for Windows© 7, 8, 8.1, and 10.
In only 2 minutes you too can speed-up your PC by:
Also, an extra tip that will really help those that don't know is if you select "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" there will be a "Startup" tab that will allow you to manage which programs automatically startup with Windows (as well as those that don't). This is a good place for you to disable "automatic startup" on unnecessary programs that you don't need running on boot (startup).
Let me know how the results are for you when you make the change!

In only 2 minutes you too can speed-up your PC by:
- First, open the windows search box (hit the Windows key on your keyboard).
- Second, in the search box, enter "services.msc" (without quotes) and press "Enter".
- Third, scroll down until you find a process named "Windows Search".
- Fourth, you'll want to "right" click on the process and select "Properties".
- Next, where it says "Startup type", change to "Disabled" and click "Apply".
- Finally, restart your computer and enjoy the improved speeds!
