1 Initial Checks

Before diving deeper into diagnostics, it's essential to perform some initial checks. Verify that your system meets the minimum hardware requirements for the operating system you're using. Check for any available software updates, as these often contain important performance improvements and bug fixes. Ensure that your antivirus software is up to date and run a full system scan to rule out malware or virus infections that could be hogging system resources. Additionally, check for sufficient free disk space, as a lack of space can significantly slow down your system.

On the hardware side, two more things also need attention: 1. BIOS/UEFI settings: Relevant hardware acceleration features need to be enabled. 2. Instead of having an HDD (quite old), SSDs should be used for much better performance. Still many PCs use HDDs.

2 Resource Monitor

Utilize the built-in Resource Monitor tool to get an overview of how system resources are being used. This tool provides real-time data on CPU usage, memory, disk activity, and network traffic. High CPU usage could indicate a need for a process cleanup or a hardware upgrade, while constant disk activity might suggest defragmentation or checking for disk errors. If memory usage is high, consider closing unnecessary applications or upgrading your RAM. Network issues could be due to outdated drivers or a misconfigured network setting.

Many a times, if network issues are not found to be due to misconfiguration of network settings, resetting of network stack can resolve the issues. It happened with me multiple times.

3 Process Analysis

Carefully analyze running processes and services using Task Manager or similar tools. Look for any processes consuming an excessive amount of CPU or memory resources. These could be rogue applications or services running in the background. If you find an unfamiliar process, research it to understand its purpose and determine whether it's necessary. If it's not required for system operation or your daily tasks, consider disabling it to free up resources.

4 System Logs

Review your system logs, which can be found in the Event Viewer on Windows or Console on macOS. These logs contain detailed information about system events, including errors and warnings that can help pinpoint performance issues. Look for patterns or recurring errors that could indicate a hardware failure, driver problem, or software conflict. Understanding the events leading up to a system crash or slowdown can provide valuable clues for troubleshooting.

5 Performance Tweaks

After identifying the bottlenecks, make performance tweaks to optimize your system. Adjust visual effects for better performance, especially if you're running on older hardware. Configure startup programs to minimize the number of applications that run on boot. On Windows, you can use the Performance Options dialog to adjust for best performance. For macOS, consider managing login items and reducing transparency and motion effects through the Accessibility options.

6 Upgrade Path

If all else fails and your system is still sluggish, consider the upgrade path. Hardware upgrades like adding more RAM, switching to a solid-state drive (SSD), or upgrading your processor can provide a significant performance boost. However, if your hardware is relatively new and you're still experiencing issues, it might be time to look at the possibility of a clean OS installation to eliminate any deep-seated software issues that could be affecting performance.
