Maintenance This section includes information about tasks you can perform to help ensure trouble-free operation of your computer, and to ease the recovery of important information on your computer if problems arise in the future. Maintenance tasks It is important that you perform simple maintenance of your computer to ensure that it works at peak performance. Weekly Software Cleanup Defragmentation Virus Scan Monthly Hardware Cleanup Software Updates Hard Disk Diagnostic Yearly System Recovery Using Disk Cleanup or safe third-party cleaning tools removes junk files and temporary files that accumulate and slow down your system. Also, check for programs you no longer need and uninstall them. Running Disk Defragmenter keeps your hard disk in good condition, as well as improves system performance. Frequently performing this task does not harm your system. Performing a full virus scan every week can catch anything that may have slipped through unnoticed. Most anti-virus products have a scheduling feature to keep track of this automatically. Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of your computer. Using Windows Updates can fix operating system bugs and improve performance. Also, be sure to check for driver updates for your hardware and new versions of your favorite programs. Sometimes a failing hard disk can be caught beforehand, saving you a lot of surprises in the future. In time, your system may still get bogged down, depending on the usage of the computer. Use System Recovery to wipe your Windows® operating system installation clean, restoring it to the original configuration when you first powered up your system. Remember to make a backup first!
