How can you improve my CPU usage percentage?
The question is not how to lower cpu usage but to either use less cpu (close background processes) or to smooth it out (I cannot find a way to do that no matter how hard i search). I find that it is not always the amount of cpu usage that is the problem but the way it is used. Windows has many pointless services built into every PC that runs it and they are all automatically set to run (such as wmpnetwork, etc.) if you want the best out of your computer i recommend following theese steps:
1. download a registry cleaner (I use CCleaner)
2. clean all temporary files and defrag, obviously :P.
3. disable unused appearance and ui features (you should know how to do this if not google it), i only disabled the shadows and animations because the rest just looks cool.
4. REGISTRY TWEAKS/MODS (google search it and you should come up with tons, they almost all improve performance or ui).
5. delete unused programs (we all have them, you can't deny it).
6.go to %temp% every once and a while and clean out what is left behind by the temporary file cleaners, if any file cannot be deleted then just click skip.
7. if you run firefox then this tip will really speed up your browsing... just as an extra tip. google for about:config mods/tweaks.
8. I reccomend this program by bitstrum called Process Lasso, it monitors every process, how much cpu usage, ram load, and virtual memory your computer is using and allows you to set permanent priority levels and throttles for every one. it also has a process watchdog allowing you to say if _______ is using ______% of ________ then ________. it comes witbh a tool called probalance witch sort of can try to work to balancing your cpu usage and responsiveness too!
9. This tip really helped me make my laptop so much more responsive, but it changes windows default memory usage. go to command prompt and type FSUTIL BEHAVIOR SET MEMORYUSAGE 2 (this will require a restart)
as some extra tips i will say right click your hard drive and go to properties, go to tools and start a disk check. it will prompt you to postpone it to the next startup and on the next startup it will open all MSDOS style and take a bit of time to do a full checkup. I find that this is not often usefull but you can try it if you want. another is to make sure your computer is NOT indexed... indexing may increase speed of searching but it deteriorates speed of the overall pc.
I hope this was helpful and i would like to note that this is my first time using answers.com...
