Arnhem Aula Meeting Ten tips to speed up your Unity computer
Tip #1: have a realistic expectation HP warranty check:https://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/wc/home/ HQ | Arnhem Aula Meeting
Tip #2: keep sync’ed documents (in My Documents folder) to a minimum (1) Time (in seconds) Volume of data HQ | Arnhem Aula Meeting
Tip #2: keep sync’ed documents to a minimum (2) • From time to time, review you’re My Documents folder: • throw away what you don’t need anymore ! • store elsewhere what you don’t need now but wish to keep. Storage of personal working documents: don’t let this grow beyond 2 – 3 GB Storage of shared departmental documents Move personal inactive documents that you wish to keep to a separate folder that’s not sync’ed HQ | Arnhem Aula Meeting
Tip #3: Use “work offline” when travelling To switch offline working on: Start / All Programs / Work Offline To force synchronization: • Right-click the computer icon in the taskbar • Choose “Synchronize” HQ | Arnhem Aula Meeting
Tip #4: Minimize items in startup folder May seem convenient to put in for instance Outlook, so it automatically starts Result can be that overall startup is slower, when your computer runs out of working memory and starts “swapping” to cope with all concurrent tasks Swapping causes the computer to use its disk for working memory, which is considerably slower HQ | Arnhem Aula Meeting
Tip #5: Remove unneeded network printers Certain tasks (e.g. Opening / Saving a document) cause Windows to recheck all printers, causing long timeouts for non-existing ones HQ | Arnhem Aula Meeting
Tip #6: Manage the size of your inbox and mailfolders Keep the overall size of your mailbox below 300 MB: when it gets over 300 MB, items younger than 90 days will get archived as well ! Keep the number of items in folders below 3000 items The best method to reduce the mailbox size is to delete messages you don’t need anymore. In particular delete: alerts and notifications, newsletters you’ve read, mail from suppliers HQ | Arnhem Aula Meeting
Tip #7: compress your offline mailstore from time to time HQ | Arnhem Aula Meeting
Tip #8: minimize the number of open mailboxes and calendars in Outlook This is on by default. Especially for secretaries managing many calendars it’s recommended to turn it off to prevent sync errors and performance issues. HQ | Arnhem Aula Meeting
