8 Ways to Improve performance in Windows 8

1. Set CPU Priority to High 
Windows 8.1 allocates a certain rate of the CPU to distinctive Apps. As a matter of course, Windows sets the need of most procedures to Normal – however did you know there are really 6 diverse need levels? All together of expanding asset utilization they are:

Low
Beneath Normal
Ordinary
Above Normal
High
Realtime

You can set unnecessary procedures to Below Normal or Low which consequently frees CPU power for your most imperative Apps. At that point you can set the need to High for your essential applications like Adobe Photoshop or Internet Explorer. Simply remember that these settings aren't sticky; as it were, the qualities are fleeting and vanish once you close the application. On the other side, your need settings will stay powerful for whatever length of time that the Apps are running in memory.

2. Disable Unimportant Services
The first time you boot a virgin copy of Windows all is serene.The desktop is tranquil with sparse icons.The taskbar is barren with only a lonely Internet Explorer icon and manila folder icon.When things are new your computer performs best.  But over time you install applications and end up goobering the system.Behind the pretty veneer of your beautiful desktop, there are undoubtedly applications called services running, lurking like hungry sharks feasting on your resources.

To track down and disable these hungry boogers press the Windows Key + r to open the run dialog box then enter this:
                                              services.msc
Sort the rundown to see all your running administrations first by tapping the Status tab. At that point begin perusing the Names of your administrations to check whether you can discover something you needn't bother with. On the off chance that you have some major snags choosing what to disablg, click the administration and read the depiction that shows up in the left sheet.

When you discover something to debilitate, double tap it, pick the Dependencies tab and watch alternate segments that rely on upon the administration you're pondering executing. On the off chance that you cripple this administration all administrations that rely on upon it will stop to capacity so you truly need to comprehend what you're doing here

3.Chop down the Visual Effects
 From the Desktop, press the Windows Key + x to open the Power User menu, then open the Control Panel.Now choose System, click the Advanced System Settings link in the left pane and choose the Settings Button under the Performance Tab to conjure your performance options.

Change the Visual Affects setting to Adjust for best performance. That’s all you need to do here but on the flip side, your system is going to look slightly more austere and might feel a bit drab, but remember, we’re going for performance not aesthetics.

4.Utilize a Solid State Drive 
Strong State Drives (SSD) appear to constantly speed things up, on the off chance that you've had opposite results please tell me in the remarks, however from my experience introducing a decent SSD like the Samsung 840inevitably declines time to boot, makes the OS feel more responsive and enhances my general satisfaction in the framework.Customary hard drives take a normal of 7 milliseconds to look for a document (known as Seek time); notwithstanding, SSDs can look for the same record in a group of that. For instance, it typically just takes a SSD .01 milliseconds to discover a record.Be that as it may, that is by all account not the only advantage.

5.Set a Universal Wallpaper
Get the feeling that your desktop backdrop would look equally fetching on the Start screen? No problem -- Windows 8.1 lets you use the same picture for both. Choose the Personalise option from the Settings charm on the Start screen and you'll see your current desktop wallpaper appear as the final option.

6.Restart applications
In Windows 8, dragging the top of a Start screen app down to the bottom of the display closed it. In 8.1, this makes the app disappear, but it remains running in task manager in case you need it again. You can use the same action to restart an app, but instead of letting go of the mouse button at the bottom of the screen, keep hold of it. The app card will flip over, at which point you can bring it back up on screen to restart the app.

7.Disable hot corners
The 'hot corners' let you access touchscreen swipe operations (like opening the charms bar) with a mouse, but you can turn them off in Windows 8.1. Right-click the desktop taskbar, choose Properties and then open the Navigation tab. Under the Corner navigation heading, you can disable the top left (open apps) and top right (Windows charms) corners.

8.Dock your apps
Windows 8 let you dock two applications nearby one another, yet Windows 8.1 gives you a chance to orchestrate three, and conform the dock sizes in the meantime. Drag an application starting from the top to the side of the screen to dock it. You'll see a large portion of the Start screen applications have small modes that they can return to.
