Sooner or later, you get into the moment when you require providing intense and advanced laptop and desktop repair services to your device. If you are not a tech expert, then you will visit a tech-squad so that he can fix up the wrongs in your PC. But that will be a paid service.
However, you can also do a lot of things that the squad will do and thus save some money. This blog will make you learn three very simple but highly effective methods of computer repairing. Troubleshooting computer problems is not that difficult as you might think.
Remove Viruses and Malware
Virus infections in computers and laptops are not new things. It happens to all devices irrespective of brand and make. When virus attacks halt down the operational functionality of your PC, you make no delay to call up a professional and pay him to get your issue resolved. hat tech-squad doesn’t have any magical tool; he too uses standard antivirus tools that you too can use yourself.
So when you get a virus in your computer, first check whether your antivirus software has got updated or not. With an updated AV program, you shouldn’t have got caught into this web. And if you were operating without an AV software installed in your device, then you deserve this mess.
You must always have updated AV software installed in your computer. Not necessarily a paid one, because even a free AV program can offer quality protection.
However, if your PC is already deeply infected, then get an AV program right now and manually dig through the auto-start entries and registry in your system. However, if your PC is already badly infected, then the antivirus software might fail to remove the malware. In such a case, the tech experts move to the next level of troubleshooting, i.e., Operating System reinstallation.
Reinstall the Operating System
Not just virus’s issues, but operating system reinstallation also mitigates various other computer errors such as hard drive problems, file corruption, blue screen errors or other weird errors, etc. Windows reinstall is the easiest and fastest advanced laptop and desktop repair solution.
Replacement of corrupted drivers and files often fixes many computer issues, but OS reinstallation is usually the fastest way to fix the issue.
New manufactured computers have factory restore partitions, using which you can restore the operating system to the factory reset. Earlier, computers used to come with CDs or DVDs from which you can restore the OS. If you have the operating installation disc, then you can use that also. If you are using Windows 8, then reinstallation is a very simple process. Just use the Reset or Refresh feature to reinstall Windows.
However, before you go for reinstallation, don’t forget to create the backup of your data. As OS reinstallation will wipe out all data, installed apps and programs. In short, you will have a fresh OS, just like that of a new computer.
Remove Included Bloatware
Whether you reset an old computer or purchase a fresh computer, you are sure to find your computer packed with bundles of software, some are useful while some are not. Your device manufacturer is paid, to include these software programs. You might consider keeping these software programs, but that unnecessary stuffing will affect the speed of your computer and make it slow.
So, you must remove these preinstalled programs, called bloatware, and you can easily do it yourself. There are two ways of doing that.
Use PC Decrapifier: This program will scan your computer for bloatware and automatically uninstall it.
Manually uninstall them: Open the ‘Uninstall a program’ in the control panel and select the bloatware one by one and start manually uninstalling them. While you do that, make sure you don’t uninstall hardware drivers.
These are the three basic, but very effective steps for troubleshooting computer problems. There are more complicated things that you can fix without any external help, but those steps are applicable only after practicing these basic of troubleshooting.
