So a lot of people out there may be wondering why do computers slow down over time and this is one of the most asked questions I get asked by my customers…Well AJR will take this time to explain to you why this happens so you have a better understanding to the reasons behind this.
If you noticed that your computer has been awfully slow lately, don’t worry, you’re not alone. It’s very common that as a computer ages, it slows down and loses efficiency. In fact, even a year after purchasing a computer, it will typically act and run slower than it did when it was first purchased. So why does this happen? Well, there are few common reasons.
In most cases, software is the culprit when it comes to why computers slow down. Whenever you update your computer software and install updates, you actually slow the computer down as these software changes introduce inconsistencies over time. This is particularly true with software that installs startup components, these components load silently during the computer start up and eat up unnecessary memory and CPU cycles.
In some other cases viruses and/or malware can also be responsible for the computer slow performance and slow downs.
When the computer becomes noticeably slow there are a couple of options to consider: tune-up or reinstall.
A tune-up will get rid of all the temporary files, mismatched settings, viruses and /or malware. A tune-up is less time consuming and will preserve the existing software, data and settings.
A reinstall on the other hand will involve backing up all the data on the computer and then installing the operating system, software, peripherals etc. This is obviously a more involved and time-consuming process but in some cases this might be the only viable solution in order to get that new computer feeling and performance back.
