1. Turn off the home group
family group is one of the important reasons for occupying the hard disk. Some netizens reported that after the family group was closed, the hard disk usage rate dropped from 90% to 10%. This is not sensational. Because the home group is turned on, the system will continue to use the hard disk to copy file shares, resulting in a hard disk usage rate of more than 90%, affecting system speed. While most home computers don't need to share files to the LAN,
The following are specific solutions:
Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services
Find “HomeGroupListener” service, double click to open or right click Click the “Properties” command.
In the pop-up property interface window, click the Startup type drop-down box on the General tab, and the list that comes out selects "Disable". Then click the “Stop” button in the service state, and click the “OK" button to save the settings.
Similarly, the same treatment is applied to the HomeGroupProvider service.
The number of disk read/write times is greatly reduced after closing the home group
2. Turn off the automatic maintenance plan task
The automatic maintenance function of Win8.1 will occupy a relatively high hard disk occupation and CPU usage in the running state, thus allowing Configuring low-end computers becomes extremely slow, and there may be situations such as unresponsiveness and crashes. However, we can optimize the hard disk with third-party optimization software. It is recommended to optimize it once every two or two months. The following is the specific program to close the automatic maintenance plan task:
Open the path: C:WindowsSystem32TasksMicrosoftWindows
Rename the folder "Defrag" to "Defrag.bak";
The automatic maintenance disappears, and the disk usage begins to be normal.
3. Turn off virtual memory
(Note: This is not recommended if physical memory is below 2G or 2G!)
Win8/8.1 By default, virtual memory is turned on, and he dumps some of the application's memory to the hard disk to avoid insufficient physical memory. The low-end computer turns on virtual memory to improve operational efficiency. However, in the case of abundant physical memory, the use of virtual memory not only has no effect, but has a high disk usage rate of "side effects". Therefore, it is recommended that users with physical memory of 4G or more turn off virtual memory. The following is a specific settlement bill.
Right-click "Computer" to select the property, open and select "Settings button in the "Advanced System Settings" &
Click “Performance";
Select “Advanced & rdquo;, click on the "Change" in the virtual memory, "Automatically manage the paging file size of the drive", remove the checkmark, click on the following "no paging file", click “ Settings & rdquo; and “ OK & rdquo;
4. Close IPv6
Now there are almost no ordinary users using IPv6 in China, but under Win8/8.1, IPv6 function is enabled by default, which makes the computer hard disk occupancy rate high, and the boot system does not respond. , suspended animation and other situations. Therefore, it is recommended that users who do not use IPv6 can completely turn off this "excessive" function. Here are the specific solutions:
Open Control Panel - Network and Internet - Network and Sharing Center - Change Adapter Settings
