In the following chapters, you will find out why it is important to do so and how you can use Increase per-
formance to increase the performance of your system, by turning off unnecessary tasks and services.
All modifications to your system will be monitored by TuneUp Rescue Center and can be undone if
necessary.
Increasing Performance - Introduction
You can improve your system performance by turning off tasks and services that run in the background and
that you rarely, if ever, need for your day-to-day work. For tablet PC compatibility (i.e. the option of operating
the computer by moving a stylus across the screen) or network server technologies. You can also increase the
performance of your computer by uninstalling programs. A search is therefore run for programs that have not
been used for a long time - programs that you may not even remember you had and which slow down your sys-
tem unnecessarily. TuneUp Utilities also recognizes when your computer hardware is not powerful enough.
Your Internet settings can prevent Windows from using the bandwidth of your Internet connection optimally.
Downloading two files at once or downloading data from websites can be slowed down by Windows default set-
tings. You will also be shown the potential for optimization here too.
Should your computer be slowed down by superfluous visual effects, this will be identified.
TuneUp Utilities checks your computer for such performance-sapping visual effects and provides rec-
ommendations for increasing performance.
To enable TuneUp Utilities to provide you with comprehensive recommendations, you must complete the pro-
file before running the software for the first time. The way is then clear to a rapid and simple performance boost.
All modifications to your system will be monitored by TuneUp Rescue Center and can be undone if
necessary.
