If you change your mind and want all your files stored locally and kept in sync via OneDrive, go back to the OneDrive settings dialog box and uncheck the box next to Files on-Demand. Windows 10 indexes your hard disk in the background, allowing you — in theory — to search your PC more quickly than if no indexing were being done.
But slower PCs that use indexing can see a performance hit, and you can give them a speed boost by turning off indexing. Even if you have an SSD disk, turning off indexing can improve your speed, because the constant writing to disk that indexing does can eventually slow down SSDs. To get the maximum benefit in Windows 10, you need to turn indexing off completely. To do so, type services. The Services app appears.
Scroll down to either Indexing Service or Windows Search in the list of services. Double-click it, and from the screen that appears, click Stop.
Then reboot your machine. Your searches may be slightly slower, although you may not notice the difference. But you should get an overall performance boost. To do this, type index in the Windows 10 search box and click the Indexing Options result that appears. The Indexing Options page of the Control Panel appears.
Uncheck the box next to any location, and it will no longer be indexed. Cleaning it out can give you a speed boost. Windows 10 has a surprisingly useful built-in tool for doing this called Storage Sense.
You can customize how Storage Sense works and also use it to free up even more space than it normally would. You can also delete old versions of Windows that might be hogging space. Under the Windows hood, the Registry tracks and controls just about everything about the way Windows works and looks. That includes information about where your programs are stored, which DLLs they use and share, what file types should be opened by which program, and just about everything else.
But the Registry is a very messy thing. So over time, it can get filled with countless outdated settings of all types. And that can lead to system slowdowns. To do it, you need a Registry Cleaner.
There are plenty available, some free and some paid. Before using Auslogics or any other Registry Cleaner, you should back up your Registry so you can restore it if anything goes wrong. To do your own Registry backup, type regedit. That runs the Registry editor. From the File menu, select Export.
Then choose a file location and file name and click Save. To restore the Registry, open the Registry editor, select Import from the File menu, then open the file you saved. Now download, install and run Auslogics Registry Cleaner. On the left-hand side of the screen you can select the kinds of Registry issues you want to clean up — for example, File Associations, Internet or Fonts. I generally select them all. Auslogics Registry Cleaner scans for and fixes problems in your Windows Registry.

Look for those applications that you rarely use and uninstall them. This activity will free up more memory and give your PC room to operate faster.
Scroll through the list of installed apps and note the unnecessary ones. Startup processes are those apps that start running the moment you boot your PC. They impact boot time and limit the speed of your PC for a while even after booting is complete. Obviously, the more processes the system has to run during boot up, the longer it takes to boot up to working state. To make your Windows OS run faster, stop these apps from starting by following these steps. Search for Task Manager using Windows search.
Launch Task Manager on your PC. Once it launches, click on the Startup tab. The goal is to disable any apps that have a high impact on startup. Viruses and spyware hog computer resources, so it is essential to remove them every chance you get. This step will need the installation of an anti-virus software first. Avira antivirus will be used for this guide. This process may take quite a while. Windows stores a lot of temporary files as it works.
All that storage used up causes your PC resources to be poorly utilized by the OS. For improved performance on your Windows PC, delete these files by following these instructions.
It will request that you select the drive to be cleaned up. Select the drive where you have Windows installed and click OK.
