Don’t Install Multiple Antiviruses

Make sure only one Antivirus is installed at a time. Check the Programs & Features list for more information.

 

Turn Off Audio Schemes

Sound notifications are played during certain Windows activities. In order to improve system performance, you can disable the audio schemes. Using the mmsys.cpl command in Search/ Run, open Sounds dialog box. Choose “No sounds” option under Sound tab so that no sound scheme will be set.
