My friend has always been complaining about his new Windows Vista PC being really slow and I couldn’t explain why was it really slow as the hardware specification were alright but the PC was still slow.

When I went to his place to give a check on his new PC, I discovered it wasn’t the new PC that was the real issue but Window Vista itself. His windows had no errors or registry errors, but the unnecessary features by Windows Vista were slowing down the PC and to fix the issue, I identified almost 10 of them. Most of them were graphics and optional utilities which were hardly used but still used most of the computer resources.

To begin with, I wouldn’t tell you guys to disable all the features I m suggesting but you can look into the features you use and might not disable them. Also, during the process if your computer starts to act weird, you can always consider restoring your computer to the previous working conditions of your choice.
