Change Power Settings to High Performance to Optimize Speed
Of course, this isn’t a good choice if you want to save electricity, but it could boost your PC’s computing speed. Head to the Settings app’s System > Power & sleep option and then click the Additional power settings link. From here, click the dropdown arrow on the right side to “Show additional plans” and then choose High Performance.
Limit Startup Processes
As mentioned in the last entry, a lot of programs install side processes that run every time you start your PC, and some of them are not things you need running on your system all the time. Compared with Windows 7, in which you had to run the MSCONFIG utility, Windows 10 (and Windows 8.x before it) gives you an easier way to limit what runs at startup—from the updated Task Manager.
