3 changes in Windows that Microsoft recommends to increase PC performance

For some time now we have had the possibility of carrying out certain modifications to the Windows operating system, both at a functional and interface level. This way we can adapt its operation to the maximum depending on our needs or requirements.

On most occasions we try to make Windows itself work as effectively and smoothly as possible. Here it directly affects the hardware configuration that we have on the PC. But we also have the possibility of making some changes to the operating system itself to improve performance of the same. Everything will depend on the knowledge we have of Windows or the tests we carry out to reach a successful conclusion.

This is something that becomes especially evident if the specifications of our computer are a little tight for run windows. Basically, if we have old or somewhat limited equipment, configuring the system well is basic. And working with a computer that freezes from time to time or makes us wait for any task is exasperating. Surely many of you have experienced this unpleasant situation on more than one occasion.

Hence, Microsoft recommends that we make three changes that it considers essential to achieve improved performance from our Windows computer. Below we are going to show you what these three configurations are so that you can modify the operating system and thus improve it, as the software giant tells us, if we have performance problems.

Change this in Windows to make it work better

This way we won’t have to think about all the functions that are part of the operating system to achieve better performance. We are going to try to modify these 3 parameters recommended by Microsoft itself to achieve this goal. Now we will tell you what changes to make.

Deactivate the virtual machine platform. First, we are going to type in the search box on the system taskbar, Turn Windows features on or off. Here we find a wide list of somewhat less known functions of the operating system. To improve its performance, Microsoft recommends that we uncheck the box that says Virtual Machine Platform.

Make that change in security. The operating system has its own integrated security software, we are referring to Windows Defender. This is a program full of functions that continue to increase to protect our equipment and everything we have stored here. Well, there is a function called Core insulation which prevents certain attacks from affecting high-level processes. It is something that Microsoft recommends that we deactivate. Within the antivirus itself, we go to Device Security and deactivate the Memory Integrity option.

Pagination size. Again in the search box on the taskbar we now type System Properties. In the window that appears, we go to the Advanced Options / Performance / Configuration / Advanced Options / Change section.

Now all we have to do is make sure that the box to manage the paging file size, automatically, it is activated.
