Hello everyone, it's been a while since Microsoft released Windows 10. But many of us are still struggling to keep up with the slow speed of Windows 10. So I've bought all the nifty tricks and hacks that would make your Windows 10 PC Blazing Fast! So let's get started.

Speeding up the Boot Time:

One of the major Problem of Windows 10 is it's slow boot. Follow the below instructions to make your PC boot faster.

In Cortana search for "MS Config" and open the System Config. app.
Now in the General tab select "Selective startup". And only enable "Load system services".
Now go to Boot tab and set Timeout to "3 seconds". Then click on "Advance options".
In the advanced BOOT options Tick "Number of processors" and select maximum processors from the drop down list. Do the same with Maximum memory and set it to maximum.
Now go to Services tab and select "Hide all Microsoft services" then un-check all the Services except your system drivers (i.e. Display/Graphic Drivers).
Now go to Startup tab and click "Open Task Manager". In the Task Manager windows Disable all programs except your Drivers. And close Task Manager.
Now Click OK. It will ask you for a Restart so do it.

Cleaning Things Up:

All the trash present in your system also makes your system slow. Here's how to clean it up.

Uninstall each and every unnecessary application.
Clean up trash files using Disk Cleanup Utility. (Don't select Thumbnails in the Cleanup list or all the folder thumbnails will be deleted yet they'll come back soon if you deleted 'em)
Defrag your Hard Drives Regularly.
Make sure to empty your Recycle Bin.

Speed Up Commands:

These will help you speed up your PC on the go.

Open Notepad and type the below code and save it as Speedup.bat
