Over time, users notice that their computer starts to function more slowly. And when there are freezes, you can forget about comfortable work. If, after launching Task Manager, you see a fully loaded RAM, this article will help to correct the existing problem. Therefore, we consider how to clean the memory of a Windows 10 computer.

How to clear the RAM

There are many ways to unload computer RAM. Consider all possible methods from easy and less effective to more complex and more effective.

Manual cleaning

The most popular way. Do the following:

1. Open the "Task Manager" by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc.
2. Go to the Processes tab.
3. Sort the list of running applications by "CPU", and then by "Memory". Find out which processes are the most stressful for your computer.
4. Then click on the RMB program of interest and select "Remove Task" or "End Process Tree".

If some processes are not completed, the suspicion falls on the viruses that have flooded the hard disk of the computer. To scan the device, it is recommended to perform a system check using AdwCleaner and Dr.Web CureIt! .

But non-closing processes are not only viruses. They are also standard services and other related software. To disable them completely, you need to exclude the corresponding fields from the autoload. This requires:

Call the window "Run" by pressing the keys Win + R.
In the text box, enter msconfigand click "OK".

In the window that appears, go to the tab "Startup".

Uncheck unimportant programs.
Save the changes and restart the computer.

The program for cleaning RAM

If there is no desire or scary to do the cleaning yourself, you can use special utilities.

CCleaner

CCleaner is one of the most powerful memory cleaners. The program effectively cleans RAM, while not shutting down important services and processes for the system.
