Lots of programs load at once when booting up the computer will make the computer run desperately slow because of the insufficient system resources and memory. Go to Start, Run, type “msconfig” and press “Enter” to access System Configuration Utility, check “Startup” tab and uncheck the programs that do not need to run at Windows startup.

6. Do not use the ActiveDesktop. Otherwise, the system will run extremely slow. Open Group Policy by typing “gpedit.msc” within “Run” ->User Configuration ->Administrative Templates -> Desktop -> locate and disable Active Desktop.
