Explanation / Answer

1)Answer:

REBOOT.
Do this step if you have not done this recently. Some memory can be freed by restarting your computer.

b. BACKGROUND APPS.
Background apps are the ones who hog the memory the most. Remove or disable any TSRs (Terminate and stay resident program) and startup programs. If you have an antivirus app, you could check if it is scanning in the background since it can cause some lag to your computer.

c. DELETE TEMP. FILES.
When programs are being installed to your computer, temporary files are stored in the hard drive. Deleting those can improve the performance of your computer. You can use the default Windows Disk Cleanup utility to do the job for you. As suggested by a site*, "Unfortunately, the Disk Cleanup may not delete every file in the temp directory. Therefore, we also suggest deleting temporary files manually. To do this, open the Start menuand type %temp% in the Search field. In Windows XP and prior, click the Run option in the Start menu and enter %temp% in the Run field. Press Enter and a Temp folder should open. You can delete all files found in this folder and, if any files are in use and cannot be deleted, they can be skipped."

d. BAD, CORRUPTED OR FRAGMENTED HARD DRIVE.

e. SCAN FOR MALWARE AND VIRUSES.

Spyware, viruses, and malwares are the most common source for the lag of your computer. You can download some free antivirus and anti-malware to ensure that there are no viruses or malware.SMADAV and Trend Micro are my personal choices.

f. UPDATE YOUR WINDOWS.

Make sure you have installed the latest updates.

g. UPGRADE YOUR DRIVERS.

Make sure you have the latest version for your drivers since it can cause some issues, including slow performance.

h. REBOOT COMPUTER AGAIN.

If you have done the steps but it still slow, you can try rebooting your computer AGAIN.
