Windows 11 Guide Lists 16 Fixes to Speed PCs on Version 25H2
3 articles · Updated · Computerworld · Jun 5
Summary
A June 2026 update to a Windows 11 guide lays out 16 ways to improve PC speed, from disabling startup apps and ending resource-heavy tasks to simply restarting the machine.
Task Manager features prominently: users can block unnecessary startup programs, close unused high-CPU or high-memory apps, and apply Efficiency mode to supported processes to cut background load.
Several fixes target persistent drag on slower systems, including running automatic maintenance, removing adware and bloatware, limiting search indexing, and using Storage Sense to clear junk files.
The guide also recommends trimming visual overhead by disabling animations, shadows, transparency and Game Mode, while switching power settings toward performance and restricting background app permissions.
It specifically covers Windows 11 version 25H2, noting some menus may differ on earlier releases and pointing Windows 10 users to separate speed tips.
