Check if you have the latest updates for Windows and device drivers
make sure you have the latest updates for Windows and device drivers. To get the most out of your computer/laptop/pc you need to have the latest version of windows on it along with the driver’s update. If any of the drivers are not updated then it may also cause performance issues. When you check for updates your computer will also search for the latest drivers update. To do so follow the instructions below-
- Press Win+R together for the Run dialogue to appear. ( press and hold the windows key on your keyboard and now press the alphabet “R” on your keyboard then leave both keys and a Run box will appear)
- Now type in “Control”.
- Press ok or hit the enter key. By doing that control panel will appear. On the right top of the control panel, you have the option to view by. Make sure it is set on “small icons” options to see all options in the control panel at once.
- Now see the bottom of that list you have an option of “Windows update”. Click on it.
On the left pane click “check for updates” or you have this option in the very middle of the Windows update box. Click on that now it will search for all the latest updates. Then it will also download these updates. you can manually install them or when it prompts you just need to restart the computer.
Do not turn off the computer when it is taking the updates during the restart process. It may take a while.
