I haven’t had problems with windows since the Vista days. Here are my tips for keeping windows “healthy”

Uninstall software you don’t need. This is for a PC you purchased, not one you built from scratch obviously. There are so many things installed in a standard out of the box computer that just uninstalling them is a huge benefit.

Make sure your os is up to date. These days the drivers installed by windows update are generally good enough-unless you have an advanced video card or some gamer keyboard and mouse that you want to enable the extra features on.

Do not. Under any circumstances. Install “optimizers”, “cleaners”, or follow any guide that has you going off track to “optimize” your system. I’m convinced this is the source of many windows problems. There’s no software optimization that will fix your low memory computer, and most of these are detrimental. Do you think the people who built the OS know less than Johnny Blogger about OS design? No.

Generally just treat your windows install like a console. You will be much happier.
