Reclaim System Speed Without Formatting

Windows 11 laptops slow down over time as background startup programs, telemetry processes, temporary cache files, and browser bloat accumulate.

10 Fast Performance Boosters:

1. Disable Startup Apps: Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), click *Startup Apps*, and disable OneDrive, Teams, and update helpers.
2. Clear Temp Cache Files: Press Win + R, type %temp% and prefetch, and delete all temporary system files.
3. Enable Storage Sense: Enable Windows Storage Sense to automatically purge temporary files and empty the Recycle Bin.
4. Set Energy Plan to Best Performance: Change Windows 11 Power Mode from "Balanced" to "Best Performance".
5. Uninstall OEM Bloatware: Remove pre-installed antivirus trialware and bloat apps.
