1 Check your disk space

One of the most common causes of a slow operating system is a lack of disk space. When your disk is full, your operating system has less room to store temporary files, cache data, and run programs. This can result in slower boot times, longer loading times, and frequent errors. To check your disk space, you can use the built-in tools in your operating system, such as Disk Cleanup in Windows or Storage Management in Mac. You can also use third-party software, such as CCleaner or Disk Drill, to scan and clean your disk. You should aim to have at least 10% of your disk space free for optimal performance.

Disable Automatic Application Startup: On Windows, use Task Manager to disable unnecessary programs at startup. On macOS, go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items and remove unnecessary applications. On Linux, you can use tools like msconfig to manage the startup of applications.

Disk Cleanup is a very useful way to recover the disk space. Especially if you had done recent OS updates (Windows) to major releases, there could be a chase your previous installation maybe lying around. If you no longer care about returning to that, you can remove it to save multi-GB space. Another thing, if you are on a corporate system with OneDrive, you can free up space at the root level to put everything in the cloud and then pull specific ones as required

2 Update your software

Another reason why your operating system might be running slow is outdated software. Software updates are not only important for security and bug fixes, but also for compatibility and performance. Outdated software can cause conflicts, crashes, and slowdowns in your operating system. To update your software, you can use the automatic update features in your operating system, such as Windows Update or Software Update in Mac. You can also check for updates manually in each application or program that you use. You should always backup your data before updating your software, in case something goes wrong.

If you have an OEM optimization/update app installed, it is definitely worth scanning using that app for the latest driver updates

El software desactualizado puede ser la razón detrás de un sistema operativo lento. Las actualizaciones no solo mejoran la seguridad y corrigen errores, sino que también optimizan el rendimiento. El software obsoleto puede provocar conflictos y ralentizaciones. Actualiza utilizando las funciones automáticas, como Windows Update o Actualización de software en Mac. También verifica manualmente las actualizaciones de cada aplicación. Recuerda hacer una copia de seguridad antes de actualizar para prevenir posibles problemas.

3 Disable unnecessary programs

Sometimes, your operating system might be running slow because of too many programs running in the background. These programs can consume your system resources, such as memory, CPU, and disk, and interfere with your operating system performance. To disable unnecessary programs, you can use the task manager in your operating system, such as Task Manager in Windows or Activity Monitor in Mac. You can also use third-party software, such as Process Explorer or iStat Menus, to monitor and manage your system processes. You should disable or uninstall any programs that you don't need or use frequently, especially those that start automatically when you boot your computer.

4 Adjust your settings

Another way to speed up your operating system is to adjust your settings to suit your preferences and needs. Some settings can affect your operating system performance, such as visual effects, power options, and notifications. To adjust your settings, you can use the control panel in your operating system, such as Control Panel in Windows or System Preferences in Mac. You can also use third-party software, such as TweakUI or OnyX, to customize and optimize your operating system settings. You should reduce or disable any settings that are not essential or relevant for your user experience, such as animations, sounds, or alerts.

5 Scan for malware

Another factor that can slow down your operating system is malware. Malware is any malicious software that can harm or compromise your computer, such as viruses, spyware, ransomware, or adware. Malware can infect your operating system through various sources, such as email attachments, downloads, or websites. Malware can cause your operating system to run slow, freeze, crash, or display unwanted ads or messages. To scan for malware, you can use the built-in security features in your operating system, such as Windows Defender or Security & Privacy in Mac. You can also use third-party software, such as Malwarebytes or Avast, to detect and remove malware. You should scan your computer regularly and keep your security software updated.

6 Upgrade your hardware

Another solution to a slow operating system is to upgrade your hardware. Hardware is the physical components of your computer, such as the processor, memory, disk, or graphics card. Hardware can affect your operating system performance, especially if it is old, damaged, or incompatible. To upgrade your hardware, you can either replace or add new components to your computer, depending on your budget and skill level. You can also use third-party software, such as CPU-Z or Speccy, to check your hardware specifications and compatibility. You should upgrade your hardware if it is below the minimum or recommended requirements for your operating system or applications.

Many times systems slow down due to thermal conditions where the CPU maybe throttled (lower frequency/power/perf). Check Task Manager or Linux equivalent to check for that. You may want to pull latest OEM software if possible to address some of these concerns.
