- b. Uninstall unused programs: Go to Control Panel, click on Programs and Features, and uninstall any programs you do not use regularly.
- c. Clear temporary files: Go to the Disk Cleanup tool and transparent temporary files, including system files, to free up disk space.
- d. Disable visual effects: Go to System Properties, click Advanced System Settings, and then click on the Advanced tab. Click on the Settings button under the Performance section, and select Adjust for best performance.
- e. Update drivers: Ensure all drivers, including graphics, sound, and chipset drivers, are up-to-date.
- f. Use antivirus software: Regularly run an antivirus scan to keep your laptop free from malware.
- BIOS settings:
- a. Disable secure boot: Some Acer laptops have secure boot enabled, which can slow down the boot process. Disable secure boot in the BIOS to speed up the boot process.
