Before you download anything, try Disk Cleanup (it’s hiding in your Start menu). It’s like a free sample at a clothing store—small, but it works. Also, turn off “startup apps” in Task Manager. It’s literally two clicks: right-click the taskbar, then click “Startup.” Easy.
And for heaven’s sake, restart your PC once in a while. I know, I know—it’s 2026 and we want to “hibernate forever,” but a fresh boot is like a nap for your computer. It flushes the gremlins out of RAM. Trust the process.
