Share ten useful optimizations for Win8.1

We know that every Windows system can use a variety of optimization operations to speed up the system. The same is true for Win8.1. In order to reach a limit of the system speed, we need to take some optimization measures. The following is a small series for you to share the necessary optimization operations for Win8.1, and these operations are based on the premise of not using third-party software.

Note: Be sure to check in the Control Panel – Restore – Configure System Restore & ndash; create, create a restore point so that problems can be easily recovered before optimization.

1. Turn off the home group, because this function will cause the hard disk and CPU to be in a high load state

Close method: Win+C – Set – Change computer settings – Family group – Leave

If you don't need a family group, you can directly turn off the home group service: Control Panel – Administrative Tools – Service & ndash; HomeGroup Listener and HomeGroup Provider Disable

2.Windows Defender scans the system in full, otherwise it will open the folder will be

Then you can exclude the trusted EXE program, it is recommended to exclude explorer.exe (resource manager process), if you do not use the system's own anti-virus software, you can also Close it directly.

Win+X – Control Panel – Windows Defender – Set – Implement Protection - Remove Tick and Admin – Enable Windows Defender – Remove Tick.

Control Panel – Administration Tools – Service – Windows Defender Service is disabled.

3. Use the index option to reduce the hard disk pressure

Control Panel – Indexing options – Select the index item – Modify – Cancel the position where you do not want to index. (The impact of indexing services on system performance)

If you are used to searching for files with everything, you can turn off indexing. Control Panel – Administrative Tools – Service – Windows Search is disabled.

4. Turn off the disk defragmentation program

Use good disk defragmentation to improve disk performance. If you are used to manual defragmentation, you can close the defragmentation plan to avoid automatic finishing when you work, affecting performance. .

Explorer, select disk – property – tool – optimize and defragment drive – optimize – change settings – deselect run as scheduled

5. set Good Superfetch Service

Control Panel – Management Tools – Service & ndash; Superfetch – Startup Type – Automatic (Delayed Startup), which avoids frequent access to the hard disk by just starting Win8.

6. If you need to overwrite or upgrade Win8/8.1, you need to clean up the generated Windows.old folder to free up the C disk space

Method 1: Shortcut Win+X - Command prompt – Enter rd X:windows.old /s (X stands for drive letter)

Method 2 (recommended): C drive – Right click – Attribute & ndash; Disk Cleanup & ndash; Select previous Windows installation check Box – OK to clean up.

7. Set Win8/8.1 to log in automatically, save the password entry step, boot faster

Shortcut Win+R – Enter netplwiz - Cancel the option to enter the user name and password when using the computer – Then double-click the account you want to log in automatically – Enter your password.

8. Turn off ipv6

Some NIC drivers are turned on. ipv6 will cause the boot system to not respond and die. If you are not an ipv6 user suggest to turn it off, otherwise try to update the NIC driver.

Network Sharing Center – Network Connection – Ethernet – Attribute – Cancel ipv6.

9. Turn on Hybrid Boot

Win8/8.1 starts fast. The default is to start, if not started, you can go to the control panel – power options – select the power button function – change the currently unavailable settings – shutdown settings – tick enable fast start.

If you don't see this feature, please enable hibernation first: Win+X – Command prompt – Enter powercfg -h on

10. Turn off performance effects

System Properties – Advanced – Performance & ndash; Set – Turns off fade-in effect. Open the folder, small software and the like, it's fast! Anyway, Win8 is back to the truth, canceling the Aero matte effect, don't care about this special effect, just close it.

After the above ten optimization settings, you can basically speed up the system and shut down system services that you don't need. And optimizing these projects will not have too much impact on the computer operation process. The relevant content introduction about the necessary optimization is here. For some friends who want to set more optimized content, here is also to remind everyone to use third-party software. Win8.1 optimization and over-optimization, there may be a variety of problems, I hope everyone will pay attention to create restore points before the operation, just in case.
