The official version of Windows 7 (hereafter referred to as Win7) has been released for two months. Due to better compatibility, the focus of Win7 users is also shifted from the initial compatibility to system optimization. But for the average user, system optimization is just a concept, but how to operate it is often impossible. In this case, this article will select some obvious and safe and effective methods for everyone. I hope that these optimization methods can further improve your Win7 experience and make the system run faster, more stable and safer.
Note: For the convenience of operation, some of the texts are set up with the help of third-party software & ldquo; Rubik's Cube. You can log in to the official website to download the latest version.
Win 7 is not as expensive as Vista, but it is not a fuel-efficient lamp. A lot of background services and rich system effects make Win7's memory usage very high. It will affect performance on some computers with little memory. which performed. Therefore, proper performance optimization for Win 7 is not only necessary, but the effect is also very obvious.
Improve efficiency Turning off useless system services Disabling useless system services not only reduces the system's memory footprint, but also speeds up the system's responsiveness. The basic optimization settings can be done through Rubik's Cube. Open the Rubik's Cube, select “System Optimization & Rarr; Service Optimization" "Service Optimization Wizard", click on the Rubik's Cube description and select the disabled service according to your needs, then click “Save Settings to complete the optimization” , restart the computer to complete the basic system service optimization settings.
However, the services listed by Rubik's Cube are not comprehensive. More system services that can be closed are still required to be completed by ourselves. Please refer to Table 1 according to your actual situation.
Speed up to disable unwanted startup items
Excessive startup projects can consume a lot of system memory and slow down the system startup speed. Disabling programs that are not commonly used can lead to significant improvements.
Open the Rubik's cube system setup → system startup add-on & rdquo;, according to the prompts, tick off the items that are not commonly used. However, it is best to keep some suggestions for the startup project of some drivers.
Dong Master Tip: If you don't know about these programs, you can also choose to use the 360 startup item management, you can follow the relevant instructions. It is more intuitive for computer beginners.
Save memory System visual effects custom
Win7 beautiful interface takes up a lot of memory, if your memory is not so "luxury", then turning off some special effects is obviously a better choice.
Right click on the "Computer" icon, select "Properties & Rarr; Advanced System Settings", click "Settings" in the "Performance" box, and then close the part according to your actual situation. Special effects, such as turning off & ldquo; fade in or slide out menu to view & rdquo; etc. (as shown in Figure 1).
After the above three steps of optimization settings, Win7's memory footprint can be significantly reduced, the performance improvement on the low-memory configuration of the computer is very obvious.
However, some functions of Win 7 have nothing to do with system memory. For example, the delay of this function is because of the system setting problem, so it needs to be solved by modifying the registry.
Accelerated display taskbar thumbnail display speed optimization
Enter “regedit” in the "Run" dialog box to open the registry editor, navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelMouse", find "MouseHoverTime" on the right and double click Open, fill in “100” in the “Value Data”, and then close the Registry Editor and restart the computer. This delay is almost gone, and the thumbnail is instantly visible when the mouse is moved over an item in the taskbar.
In addition to the delay of some functions, Win7 is a more difficult problem because some applications lose their response and cause the system to shut down properly when shutting down or restarting.
End the task to reduce the waiting time when closing the service
Similarly, open the registry editor and navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControl", find "WaitToKillServiceTimeOut" on the right, and change the value to "1000"". Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer. After the setup is complete, Win 7 will not spend a lot of time waiting to shut down services that are not responding when it is shut down.
Cancel the prompt for the user to confirm the forced shutdown
In addition to the above, Win7 confirms that a program has lost its response and cannot be closed when shutting down. It also asks the user whether to force shutdown (as shown in Figure 2). When we generally want Win 7 to shut down immediately. The setting method is completed by group policy.
Enter “gpedit.msc” in the "Run" dialog box to open the Group Policy Manager, open “Computer Configuration →Administrative Templates →System →Shutdown Options", double-click “ Close will block or cancel Shut down the application's automatic termination function & rdquo;, select “ Enabled”, after confirming, close the Group Policy Manager. This way Win 7 is much more refreshing when it is shut down or restarted.
