8 Ways to Overcome a Laptop PC Often Not Responding on Windows 10
and not responding when in operation? In fact, there are many important things that must be completed immediately, starting from school assignments, college, and so on.
Of course, the sudden slowdown in performance is very annoying and everyone definitely doesn’t want to feel the performance of their favorite computer device decreasing.
Then, what exactly is causing this very annoying situation?
A few things to know…
Of course, this problem has also been experienced by most users of computer / laptop devices in the world. You don’t need to feel sad, angry, irritated, dizzy, etc.
It is better for us to look for references and study the problem in order to find the most appropriate solution.
Therefore, below I will write down a number of things that can make it possible for the computer or laptop that you use every day to slow down.
Please read slowly and understand carefully.
1. Too many active programs in the background
According to my experience in dealing with a slow computer device, the main cause is too many unnecessary programs that are active in the background or background.
Programs that are generally active in the background are for example,
- Yahoo Messenger
- Adobe Update
- OneDrive
- Smadav
- And others…
For me, the programs above are not really needed and in general these programs will be active by default, so that it will actually reduce computer performance.
What you have to do to solve this one problem is to uninstall several applications that you don’t think are too important through “Control Panel”.
2. Too many startup programs
Another thing that can trigger a slowdown in Windows performance is because of the program “startups” which exceeds the limits of reasonableness.
You can check how many programs “startups“Active via menu”msconfig”.
The method,
- First, press “Windows + R” then type “msconfig”.
“Windows + R”, type “msconfig” - Second, after you type “msconfig”, a new window will appear. Select the “startup” tab.
Select “startup” - Third, please remove the checkbox on the program that you want to stop during the program’s startup process.
remove the checkbox on the program you want to stop - Finally, click “Apply”, then “OK”
Click “Apply” then “OK”
3. The number of services is booming!
| Disable some unimportant windows services |
Say “booming“That means too much, too much, and so on.
Too many active services will of course also have an impact on the performance quality of the Windows computer you are using. Stop services that are not important or services that are not clear.
For more details, please look for references which services are the safest to stop in this article, 20 Windows Services that are Safe to Stop!
4. Your computer has a virus or malware
| It could be that your computer has a virus or malware |
For one thing this happens quite often for Windows computer users, especially for those who like to surf the internet. Generally, malware that attacks laptop users is in the form of ad viruses and also obscure programs that actually slow down computer performance.
To fix this, please download your trusted antivirus program. You can use antivirus programs such as Avira, Avast, AVG, Norton, and others.
All antiviruses are good even though they are free. Provided that you regularly update the virus definitions in the antivirus program that you use.
Using 1 default Windows antivirus is enough. “Windows Defender”
5. The computer has overheated
| The laptop has overheated / the temperature is too hot |
What is meant by an overheated computer is a condition where the temperature of the computer you are using experiences excessive heat on the computer components.
Generally for the latest computers or laptops nowadays, you can overcome the overheating problem by automatically “shutdown” when in use. Even that rarely happens, because there are already fans which of course have been perfected to prevent “overheating”.
6. The hard disk has a problem
| The hard disk is damaged |
Short Story,
It happened to my school friend’s laptop that suddenly became very, very slow. If you look at it from the physical side of the laptop, everything looks normal because the condition is still new (just bought).
However, because the laptop’s performance was unnaturally very slow, then the laptop was brought to the repairman.
Long story short, the repairman informed me that the hard drive on the laptop had problems or was defective during production. The repairman suggested asking for a warranty from the purchase shop.
Finish!
One of the components named “hard drive“This will cause the performance of the computer you are using to be very, very slow if the hard drive has problems.
So, make sure the condition of the hard disk that you are using is in a good state.Healthy”.
7. Specifications that are too old school
For this point it refers more to the hardware part of your computer or laptop that is too old to be used.
In my opinion, the lowest specification for use today is Dual Core with 2GB of RAM. Under those specs, it seems no longer suitable for current Windows applications.
8. And others…
There are still many other possible small errors that can cause not responding to Windows 10. In the future, maybe I will add them.
If you have other opinions regarding the reasons for slowing down a computer device, don’t hesitate to write them down in the comments column.
Conclusion…
Slow computer or laptop performance can occur due to several factors.
And in general, a slowed down computer or laptop is caused by viruses or malware and other insignificant programs that can actually slow down the computer itself.
Notes…
Remember, the points I wrote above are my own personal opinion. So it’s only natural if there are things that don’t suit/agree with those of you who are reading this article.
That’s all…
That’s what the article is about 8 Ways to Overcome Computer Applications Often Not Responding Windows 10. Actually there are many other factors that can certainly slow down the computer.
However, the points above are causes that are quite common in general users of computers and laptops.
Hopefully useful and see you next time,
