El performance of all devices is affected by the passage of time, and although thes tablets and convertibles with Windows 10 They are of an increasing level (many of them have little to envy to laptops), even with them we can find that we are going slower, greatly worsening the user experience. We review a few recommendations basic to avoid it.
Disable the automatic launch of apps
When we start our tablet or pc, many of the programs that we have been able to install do so automatically, and surely there will be a few that are configured automatically so we do not use them regularly and we do not need them to do so. To modify it we simply have to go to the tab start in the Task Manager and disable them.
Uninstall apps that we don't use
And speaking of apps that are not used, a tip that is valid for any type of device and operating system: it is preferable as long as we can get rid of those that we do not use, both those that are pre-installed and those that we are testing and discarding. We can do it easily from the control Panel. If one of them resists us, we can resort to one of these free apps to uninstall apps from Windows 10.
Choose the apps we install with care
One last recommendation regarding the apps that we install, which is a matter of common sense, but which cannot be omitted: we must always be aware of what we can or cannot ask of our Windows tablet and accept that some apps simply go to be too heavy and require too many resources. If we are encountering performance problems, take some time to search lighter alternatives.
Check that we do not have malware
Another reason why we can notice a deterioration in the performance of our Windows devices is malware, so it is worth scanning through the Windows Defender Security Center, in case we do not use any other antivirus or security program.
Keep everything up to date
Although Windows 10 updates are automatic, it does not hurt to check that we have our device up to date, but also with regard to drivers and even their own apps that we have installed that can also make our device go slower.
Free up storage space
Another basic recommendation whenever we find a PC or a tablet that starts to go slow is to make sure that we are not too close to the storage capacity limit of our device through the File Browser and, if so, do a bit of cleaning, not only of apps, but of any other type of file. Remember that we have an option dedicated to making this task easier, but if you still have problems there are many tricks to free up space in Windows 10 to which we can turn.
Turn off animations
Another very simple adjustment that we can make to improve the performance of our tablet or PC, and that we sometimes overlook is simply disable animations that make the transitions more fluid, something we can do through the control panel in the accessibility section. We can even deactivate only some, although it will take us a little more work.
Change power plan
On a tablet we will not be able to access the menu that allows us to choose between the three predefined power plans of Windows 10 (They are present and it is possible to access them but the procedure is somewhat complicated), but we have something similar in the bar that appears when we click on the battery icon and it is worth making sure that we have it in "better performance".
Modify the size of the paging file
Another trick, not so basic, that we can use is to increase the virtual memory that it uses, something that we can do by deactivating the automatic adjustment of the paging file. It is not an option that is precisely visible, but you have to navigate through a few menus: in the control Panel we are going to "security and system", From there to" work", And click on"Advanced configuration", From there we go to"Advanced Options", we continue with "performance"And"setting”; we finally reached the menu of "virtual memory”And we click on“change".
Restore Windows 10
The slowdown may be due to a more complex system error, and in some cases it may be necessary to perform a restore. Sometimes it may be sufficient to resort to create a restore point, but in some cases we have no choice since factory reset Windows 10.
