From there, you can select “troubleshooting” to access a series of wizards which will resolve common operating problems. Including cleaning up systems that are slowed by a lot of adware and other clutter.
- Do younger members of your household install cumbersome software that slows down your computer? This can be easily prevented using the Windows 7 AppLocker feature. This feature only allows your pc to run and install programs that have your pre-approval. You can tell AppLocker to only run programs from trustworthy companies, so if someone is trying to run a program from an unknown publisher AppLocker will prevent it.
- Another great feature is its power efficiency service. This enables you to keep an eye on how much power your laptop is using. This can be very helpful if you’re working remotely and have no access to a power source.
