3. **Manage Startup Programs**:
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager, then go to the Startup tab. Disable programs you don’t need to start automatically.

4. **Update Software and Drivers**:
- Ensure your operating system, drivers, and software are up to date. Check for updates in Windows Update and manufacturer websites.

5. **Defragment Your Hard Drive** (HDD only):
- If you have an HDD, run the Defragment and Optimize Drives tool to improve file access speeds. (Not necessary for SSDs.)

6. **Check for Malware**:

- In the same Performance Options window, choose "Adjust for best performance" to disable unnecessary visual effects.

9. **Check for Hardware Issues**:
- Monitor your hardware temperatures and health using tools like HWMonitor or CrystalDiskInfo. Consider cleaning dust from fans and components.

10. **Consider Upgrading Hardware**:
- If performance is still lacking, consider adding more RAM, upgrading to an SSD, or upgrading your graphics card.

11. **Backup Your Data**:
- Regularly back up your important files to avoid loss during any maintenance tasks.

12. **System Restore or Reset**:
- If issues persist, consider using System Restore to revert to a previous state, or a factory reset if all else fails.
