![]() If you want to use Skype, simply launch the application, but when you are finished close the application. This only serves a purpose IF you want to be interrupted. This literally just “ helps” iTunes launch faster, that’s it! ( Again, are you kidding me!?) Skype How about just sending us an email? iTunes Helper The sole purpose of this startup program is to send push notifications. ![]() To notify you when there is an update ( Are you kidding me!?) Apple Push.To help Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat launch 1-3 seconds faster than they otherwise would.Below each, I will comment as to their purpose. Those pesky programs that run in the background that almost always serve very little purpose, other than to cause the main application to launch faster.įor example, below are just some of the hundreds of programs that can run in the background on your computer. Before we move on, admittedly, this is a HUGE pet-peeve of mine. The biggest culprit are startup programs. ![]() What would cause CPU usage to be so high that it would affect the performance of your computer? There are several reasons, but let’s hone in on the biggest cause and why it seems to get worse, the longer you own your computer. So, when we speak of Disk Usage, we are talking about the number of running processes running at any given moment on your hard drive. If it hits 100% (or higher), your computer will “freeze”, and stay that way until all of the processes have had an opportunity to carry our their assigned task. The closer that number reaches 100%, the slower your computer will run. Every hard-drive has a maximum speed at which it can read and write data to and from your disk. Note that we are not talking about disc capacity, (what your computer hard drive is capableof storing). When we speak of “Disk usage” (DU), we are talking about the percentage of your computer storage that is in use at a given moment, meaning that your computer disk is occupied by some or the other task. As an added bonus, I’m going to who you several steps you can take to improve CPU performance. We will also check to see how to determine what the Disk Usage is in Windows, and what you can do to reduce Disk Usage. In this article, we will look at what Disk Usage (DU) is, and how it can get so high (the higher it gets, the slower your computer will run). The reason this happens is because these programs are all fighting for computer resources at the same time. Why does it happen and how much disk usage is normal?Ī computer that has several programs or processes running in the background may feel “sluggish” or even “hang” until all of those processes complete their assigned task. Sometimes, when using a computer, (especially when first turning it on), you may find that the disk usage (CPU usage), is very high and your computer seems to “bog down”.
