How can I find out what programs to uninstall?

I am wanting to uninstall programs to increase the effectiveness of my computer. How can I find out what programs to uninstall and what are municipal for daily use?

No one can answer this question but you.  The programs I use several times a day may be meaningless to you.  But in most cases, uninstalling software will not more 'effective' computer - only free up hard drive space.

    Hey Stella-50,

    How slow is slow? For example, my machine (e-machine E4264 2.2 ghz with 2 GB RAM) boots in 95 seconds. For me, I call it, in the average. I am currently in the process of looking for a new machine because it is already 3 years old, so maybe that OEN will be slightly faster to start.

    What you can 'turn off' will depend on which in fact initially launches upward and, unfortunately, you have not told us that at this moment. Is that you should not disable your anti software anti-virus (updater). nothing to do with your mouse and your keyboard etc.

    Perhaps, if you made a list of what application are actually being run at startup (via the msconfig Startup tab) can someone take a look at them and see if, or what can be disabled.

    Otherwise, you might take a glance at Startup Delayer http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&show=startdelay to see if you can delay the time different applications load to allow windows to start up more quickly. I haven't used so I can't say how good/bad it is.  It's a freeware.

    How can I find out what programs I should have started and what are the programs I can start myself to my computer to run correctly when starting?

    Hello

    I understand you want to learn about programs, you should start your Windows startup. I will certainly help you to question.

    When you start Windows by using a normal startup startup, several applications and services automatically, and then run in the background. These programs include the base system, antivirus software, utility applications processes system and other software that was previously installed. These applications and services may cause interference when you install or run a program.

    The system configuration is a tool that can help identify problems that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. You can start Windows with common services and startup programs turned off and then reactivate them, one at a time.

    I suggest you to refer to the links below and check if this is useful:

    Using the Configuration System (msconfig)

    Perform a clean boot to determine if background programs interfere with your game or program

    Hope this information helps.

    Please get back to us with an update on the issue, we will be happy to help you.

    How can I find out what programs start or stop to start the computer? Now there's like 68 programs that start at startup of the computer, I know that this is the way to much, I just need if bought a laptop with windows7premium installed and the problem im having is that for a lot of programs running at startup the computer does runslow and being online is difficult. Can I just go back to the factory because im settings only to learn about computers. Any help would be late thanks all sorts niceome here

    Original title: need HELP

    Go in run and msconfig!

    Under the control of services tab hide all microsoft processes
    These are the programs that are running at startup you can go through the menu of your program and configure each individually to run at startup.
    If you decide it's not worth having to go to control panel and then programs and then decide to uninstall the program.
    If you decide to use your drive to factory restore do not forget to install the programs you need.
  • How can I find out what programs have access to my internet connection?

    I have a connection to the relatively slow internet (satellite). When programs to reach out for updates or whatever, the response time for my internet research goes down way but I do not know what are the offending programs and how to decrease their priority. Sometimes when I'm working on a WORD document or PowerPoint my computer seems to turn off to never-never land that I think is some background task waiting for a response from the internet.

    Thanks, Mike

    Hello

    ·        Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·        Remember to make changes to the system?

    ·        This happens randomly or only when you use word on the system?

    ·        Do you have an error message when this happens?

    ·        What browser do you use?

    I suggest to do a clean boot on the system and then checks to see if you are able to access the internet without any problem.

  • How can I find out what startup files

    Number of files is loaded on startup because the entries in the RUN keys in the registry editor.

    Most of them is probably necessary, but I would like to know what they're doing so that I can decide if I accept them there.

    How can I find out what files do, especially files from Microsoft to start? Looking for file names always seems to give a vague result and an exhortation to try a magic registry repair program.

    Here is an article on startup programs/applications. It might give you a better understanding of the subject.
    http://www.SysInfo.org/StartupList.php

    Excerpt:

    Key to 'status ':

    "Y" - normally leave to run at startup

    "N" - not required or not recommended - generally used that rarely tasks that can be run manually if necessary

    'U' - user choice - depends whether a user considers necessary

    'X' - definitely not required - typically viruses, spyware, adware, and "resource hogs".

    Hello

    Did you pay for Office (including Excel) in a packaging separated when you bought your computer?

    Office is not included with your purchase of computer for free.

    Most new computers come with a trial version of Office that lets 'x' number of days usuage.

    After this test times out, you will have to buy Office.

    And the product key on the computer case or laptop for the operating system, not for the desktop Suite.

    Here is the link for the Microsoft Store to Office products:
