Disable Windows Update is not Good advice as there can be security implications. However, Windows is extremely terrible at taking care of updates and makes the PC slow all together. For example, if you are running an old PC with low specifications, you don’t want to install feature updates. Yet, Microsoft shoves down every Windows update user ’s throat. Additionally, Windows continues downloading and moving large files in the background which causes to slows down your PC. So it’s better to disable the update and turn it on, only when you want to update your Windows 10 machine. It will offload your PC from unnecessary background processes and will notably speed up Windows 10. For disable Windows update, follow these steps.

  6. Disable Indexing on Older Windows 10 PCs 

        Indexing means keeping a list of all the files located on your PC. It helps Windows in finding the file quickly when you hit the search button. However, on older PCs, the indexing process consumes too many resources and makes the PC remarkably slow.

Note:-  if you are using a Windows with powerful configurations then disabling indexing will not make a considerable difference. The reason I am recommending to disable indexing is that having good performance all the time outweighs searching quickly once in a day. So the bottom line is, if you are using an old PC with low configs then go ahead and disable indexing to speed up Windows 10 PC.

     The popular myth is that disabling indexing turns off Windows search. But that is simply not true. You can still search in your Windows PC, however, it will be a tad slower. 

follow these steps to perform these tasks.

•  Open “ This PC” and then right-click on the “C” Drive. Here, You need to select “Properties”.
•   Now, Here you found “ Allow files in this drive to have contents indexed ” at the bottom uncheck it. After that, click on the “Apply” button. 
• Now the next screen appears You need to select “ Apply Changes to drive C:\, subfolders, and files ” and click on “Ok”. 
•  The C drive will start deindexing and will take some time to complete the task. The time will depend on how long you have been using your PC. It may vary from 5 to 30 minutes.
•   Now to completely disable indexing, open the Services window by pressing Win+R key. Here, type services.msc and hit enter.
• On the Services window, look for “Windows Search” and right-click on it. Choose “Properties”.
• Here, click on the “ Stop” button and then change the startup type to “ Disabled”. Don’t worry, this will not disable Windows search, but only stop further indexing of files. Now, click on the “ Ok” button and congrats you are done.

7. Use an Efficient Browser 

                   Using of web browser also affects Windows performance Most of us use a web browser on our Windows 10  to browse the internet. In my case, I use Chrome all the time because I am deep into Google’s ecosystem. However, it is quite popularly known that Chrome is a resource consumer. It really consumes most of my computer resources, making it slow and overall laggy for a few seconds. If you are facing a similar situation then you can use a better browser, well suited to Microsoft ’s ecosystem.

           Recently, Microsoft unveiled Chromium-based Microsoft Edge and it looks really awesome. The performance is on par with Chrome and unsurprisingly, it consumes less power and resources than Google Chrome. The best part is that you can install Chrome extensions on the new Edge so you are not missing out much. I have written a short guide on how to install the Chromium-based Edge on Windows 10 so check it out. I am pretty sure that you might like it.

 8. Switch to an SSD 

    Most of us use Windows 10 on a  hard drive(HDD) which is quite slow and further results in slow performance. However, swapping it with the modern-age solid-state drive(SSD) speeds up Windows 10 to a far greater degree.

   Due to the Flash memory chip in SSD, it is much faster than HDD. The difference between SSD and HDD is simply day and night. If you have done everything that is mentioned in this article and still your Windows PC is slow, it’s simply because of the old hardware. As they say, you can ’t replace the hardware with software. You should consider replacing HDD with an SSD.

I Hope this Last Tip will really help you a lot to increase Your window 10 performance.
