//your windows are dirty...
>>> Are you getting the internet speed you are paying for ??? Click on speedo image below...
Every time you use your Windows pc, files become fragmented + corrupted (over a period of time + even more so if you have malware) , hence it becomes very necessary to perform maintenance tasks on a regular basis to keep your Windows machine running as best as it can.
Here at geex4u, the research + testing never stops as we know the importance of proper Windows maintenance (we have seen many computers become exceedingly slow just because they were never given a proper file-cleaning + defragmentation, etc).
Below you will find apps that meet the criteria of being effective along with being as user-friendly as possible. Yes, because these apps are free, there is going to be a bit of what we call 'nagware' in that the app may prompt you in a friendly way to upgrade to the 'professional' (read that 'paid') version. Remember, nothing man-made is perfect ... only The Good Lord can do that ! (it is recommended that you set a restore point in Windows before trying any app).

Slow computers are NOT tolerated here at geex4u ; yet day in + day out we see many computers that users totally neglect that have become slower than a turtle on its' back. How sad that so many people are missing out on an enjoyable computing experience because they do not know how to properly protect + maintain their devices.
Now i will be the first to tell you Windows is a high-maintenance operating system
(OS) + there are alternatives that are much better than Windows (imo). My daily ''workhorse'' is the Linux Mint OS which i feel is superior to the Windows OS in virtually every way as it is impervious to Windows + Mac malware , does not fragment , and is much faster + way easier to maintain. No , i am not a 'Windows-hater' as i do run Windows 10 ; however , as long as Windows continues to be built on the current foundation , it will remain a hassle to maintain + protect.
Soooooo , what can be done to help ensure a good-running Windows computer ? Regular use of the apps shown above (in the coloured circles) would be a great start to kicking up your computers' performance. i also recommend doing the following three things on a monthly basis :

Please note depending on which version of android your device(s) has , some of the apps listed below may not be compatible, but the Google Play Store will let you know :
