2. Right-click on “My Computer” icon on Desktop and select “Properties” (or press <WIN> key +<Pause/Break> key). Click on “Advanced system settings” link in left side pane (You can also open it by typing “sysdm.cpl” in RUN or start menu search box and press Enter). After that, click on “Settings” button in “Performance” section:

Disable all unnecessary options in “Visual Effects” tab; let the following options enabled according to your requirements:

• Enable desktop composition (If you want to use Windows Aero theme)

• Enable transparent glass (If you want to use transparency in Windows)

• Show preview and filters in folder (If you use Details Pane in Explorer)

• Show thumbnails instead of icons (If you want to show thumbnails in Explorer)

• Show window contents while dragging (If you want windows to show content while moving them)

• Smooth edges of screen fonts (If you want to show smooth fonts)

• Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop (If you want to show shadows under desktopicon labels)

• Use visual styles on windows and buttons (If you want to use Windows Aero or Basic theme.)

3. By opening Windows Explorer, click “Organize” and then go to “Folder and Search Options.” Now, go to “View” tab:

Disable following options:

• Display file size information in folder tips.

• Display simple folder view in Navigation pane.

• Hide extensions for known file types.

• Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color.

• Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items.

Other options don't affect the system performance. You can enable/disable them according to your requirements.

4. Right-click on “My Computer” icon on Desktop and choose “Manage” (You can also open it by typing “services.msc” in RUN or start menu search box and press Enter). Now, go to “Services & Applications -> Services.” Here, set the few unnecessary services to “Manual” which ultimately reduce the boot time and enhance system performance.

5. Type “msconfig” in “RUN” or Start Menu search box and press “Enter.” Now go to “Startup” tab and reject the unnecessary entries, which you don't want to start automatically with Windows, e.g. you can disable VGA driver utility, Sound Card utility, etc. to speed up the startup time and to boost system performance.

Disable these items using Windows Defender. Open “Windows Defender” and click on “Tools” and then click on "Software Explorer."

6. Open “Sound” in Control Panel (or type “mmsys.cpl” in RUN or Start Menu search box and press Enter), go to “Sounds” tab and select “No Sounds” in “Sound Scheme” section. Also, you can continue with some of your favorite sounds but set “Exit Windows”, “Windows Logoff”, “Windows Logon” and “Start Navigation” to (None).
