Prepare your PCs for a faster start in January

Companies keen to start 2025 with a competitive edge will want their computers working at top speed.

Logging on after the holidays only to experience lag is an uninspiring beginning to the working year, but it can also seriously impact productivity.

There are many simple solutions that can get PCs working at their best. A cluttered desktop filled with files, or a browser bogged down with endless bookmarks and add-ons can harm how quickly staff can perform their role or get online. Removing non-essential folders and extras can make them run smoother and more effectively – and this is an easy task to accomplish.

Computers running older versions of software is also an issue. Make sure that the edition of your operating system in use is the most recent, and all apps employed are up to date – including your antivirus. When updates aren’t installed, devices become vulnerable to viruses and malware attacks, which are another cause of slow computing.

Another key cause of a slow loading machine is too many apps trying to start simultaneously. Cutting down the number of programmes that launch on start-up to a short list of essentials can seriously speed up how fast your personnel can perform their role.

It’s understood that there are many other reasons for PCs to perform slowly, including hardware being no longer fit for purpose.
