7 Windows Optimization Methods That Do More Harm Than Good
1 min read
Summary
There are numerous Windows optimization methods, some more hazardous than others
The page file, which stores processes not immediately required by RAM, is one such method
While it may improve responsiveness and prolong SSD life, it can also cause system instability.
Disabling User Account Control (UAC) is another method that can compromise security and permission malware to make unwanted changes to your system
Disabling Windows updates, while providing more control over updates, also makes the system more vulnerable to security threats.
Optimization methods such as always using the “Best Performance” power plan and disabling Superfetch (Sysmain) can actually harm your PC’s performance rather than improve it.
It is important to carefully research and understand these methods and their consequences before implementing any of them.
