Speed Up Your PC When Programs Won’t Open

Overview:
If Windows feels slow or apps won’t launch, it’s often because your drive is full or too many programs run in the background. These simple steps will help free up space and restore performance.

Concern (Topic)

Operating system is lagging; software won’t open

Details

Deleting temporary files and uninstalling unused programs can clear space and reduce background load, making your PC more responsive.

Caused By

Your local storage is full and many apps are running behind the scenes, leaving too little room and processing power for new programs.

Resolution / Steps

1. Remove unused programs:
   Open the Control Panel, go to “Programs and Features,” find apps you no longer need, and click “Uninstall.”
2. Clear temporary files:
   
   • Press Win + R, type temp, press Enter, select all files (Ctrl + A) and delete.
   • Repeat for %temp% and prefetch by typing each into the Run box.
   • Skip any files that Windows can’t remove.
3. After both steps, restart your computer and try opening your software again.
4. If you still experience issues, go to helpdesk.elisha.ph and submit a ticket for further assistance.
