Performance Advisor
On the Performance advisor tab, you are given a list of suggestions for significantly
increasing the performance of your computer.
These include options to speed up your system even more. By answering a few simple
questions, you can identify functions that reduce performance and if they are not needed,
disable them to increase the performance of your computer.
You will be asked about programs you haven't used for a long time, perhaps so long you no
longer remember them. By uninstalling them, you can get rid of unnecessary brakes on
your computer's performance. Answer the question "Do you recognize this program?" by
clicking on the appropriate answer. If you choose No, I don't recognize this program,
extra information will be displayed to the left. If you choose Yes, I recognize this
program, then you can decide whether to click on the link Program can be uninstalled
to uninstall it immediately or on Keep the program
to fade out the entry and add it to the
list of ignored recommendations.
Also listed will be functions that negatively impact performance and that will be disabled for
you if you give the corresponding answer to the question posed.
The performance advisor also knows when your computer is under-equipped and can
provide upgrade suggestions.
For each suggestion you have the option to
Ignore recommendation

ignored recommendations is displayed in the footer bar. By clicking on the number
displayed, you can display these recommendations again.
