Easy Solutions to Common Tech Support Problems

http://matterhornsolutions.ca/calgary-tech-support/


You don’t need to get help from a tech support expert each and every time you face a technical issue on your PC.



Many times, you can fix a problem yourself in just a few minutes, if not in a few seconds.

Let us show you how.



How to Fix a slow computer



1.Uninstall unnecessary programs.

The more programs you install, the more space they occupy in the RAM. If your RAM is almost full, your PC will become very slow.



2. Choose small, lightweight programs.

Large programs take up a big amount of RAM space and slow down the PC.



3. Clean up your disks.

To clean up your disks, go to ‘Control Panel’ ‘Performance Information and Tools’ ‘Open disk cleanup’ and then select a drive to start the cleanup process.



It would look like this.



4. Defragment your disks.

To defragment your disks, go to ‘Control Panel’ ‘Performance Information and Tools’ ‘Advanced tools’ ‘Open Disk Defragmenter’ and defragment the disks to speed up your PC.






5. Free up the system drive.

If the drive where Windows is installed is almost full, your computer will become very slow. If you have files in the ‘Documents’ or in the ‘Downloads’ folder on the system drive, move them to other drives.



6. Disable unnecessary startup programs.

To stop a program from running at the startup, click on the ‘Start’ button, then type “msconfig” to open the msconfig.exe program. Then uncheck the programs that you don’t want at the startup.






How to Speed up Chrome



If Chrome’s performance is low, disable unnecessary extensions and plugins, remove web apps that you don’t use, exit other Windows programs and close unnecessary browser tabs.



Improve Download Speed



If it takes longer to download a file than it should, stop anything that is using the Internet. For example, remove browser extensions, close browser tabs, and exit any programs that are eating up the speed.



Fix a Browser That Shows too Many Ads



If you notice that your browser’s space has been occupied by many unwanted ads, then most probably a Chrome extension or a Windows software is causing the problem. Find the extension and software that might cause the issue and remove them.



So if you face any of these problems, try to solve them on your own using the tips mentioned in this presentation, and save yourself some money.
