Speed up old pc

[Malnutrition]

Make sure and copy the code box contents from Start:: to End::

Then right click frst run as admin hit the fox button. You will know it works when the machine reboots after

[johnnywyoming]

Apparently this fixlog overwrote the one we did yesterday?? I ran it and it rebooted. I did a search on Everything and it only showed this one on the desktop. Hopefully it is the correct one.

Working with the Autologger now but cannot find Windows Defender to open and suspend it. It was on the desktop but not now. Did search on Everything for it but none of the files that came up will open Defender so…

[Malnutrition]

You can turn off defender with this tool.

If you are unable to disable then skip it. Defender is useless in windows 7 anyhow

[johnnywyoming]

Should I still run the Autologger??

[johnnywyoming]

If Defender is useless then please make a recommendation.

[Malnutrition]

Yes go ahead and run the autologger program, and I’ll make a couple suggestions at the end of this.

How is the machine running feeling any snappier?

Did you install google chrome? Also, use geek uninstaller and remove anything you do not use.

https://geekuninstaller.com/

Then open ccleaner hit tools then startup, then disable anything that you do not use on a daily basis. Then move onto scheduled task, you can disable pretty much everything there as well. Unless it relates to an antivirus or a program you need updated.
Then reboot.
After you post the autologger logs I’ll take a look when I get home.

[johnnywyoming]

No, on Chrome download… did you ask me to do that?? And should I use it instead of Firefox?

[Malnutrition]

No, there are just a lot of traces, and I’m gonna remove that in the next fix. Post autologger results when ready.

[johnnywyoming]

Got Defender turned off.

[Malnutrition]

Ok I’ll check it when I get home. Have you uninstalled useless to you programs and trimmed up the startup and scheduled task on the machine?

[johnnywyoming]

I have uninstalled as much as I feel comfortable with. What about the software you had me download the last few days, and the reports, should I delete them now? Some of those I will keep, Do I need to keep CCleaner as one of the programs you had me download seems to do the same thing?

[johnnywyoming]

I will be out of town tomorrow so can we continue on Friday?

[Malnutrition]

No problem. I went to sleep early yesterday anyhow. I will check everything this afternoon after work.

Also, what do you use this for?

Run… Easy Service Optimizer.
Download unzip to desktop, then select Tweaked mode and then hit the little rocket icon from within the program.

If you connect via wireless then you will need to enter the following commands in command prompt.

So you will need to enter these commands in Elevated Command prompt after running Easy Service Optimizer, if you so choose to run it.

Copy and paste each command one at a time and hit enter after.
