TOPIC: How to make your windows 7/8 faster

How to make your windows 7/8 faster 9 years 2 months ago #91359

Hi, I've seen lots of people having slow windows 7 performance, I'm one too. So after researching a while, decided to try and mess around with it. So first I checked resource monitor and turns out the windows theme sometimes takes up to 50% of your ram!

Here's How
Go to your desktop
Right click & select personalize
Select theme (Windows 7 Basic)

If you don't mind how your desktop theme looks then select
(Windows Classic High contrast)
Will increase performance by 80%! Game performance too!

Performance is 1st
If you think it's too ugly, select Windows 7 Basic theme.

@Noone No, this isn't a troll.

I know how to make your computer faster.

  1. Delete Steam
  2. Delete Google Chrome

Or you can just wipe your computer which makes it empty. Then your computer will be REALLY quick.

I believe in you.

EDIT: How about this? You switch the themes every time you open or close your game? I think that's good.

Remove SKYPE and STEAM from startup programs and you'll see how your PC will boot faster. It will also run faster if you don't have an antivirus and Skype running...

if you use windows 7, go to the .exe of a game you play mostly hl2.exe, right click, compatibility, select disable aero or whatever. i use 8.1 so that's useless for me

Exactly, use this theme and you won't have any lag issues using chrome anymore! Cause chrome uses your windows theme looks, so if you give it the old look means it don't take much ram.
