Windows 11 has been developed with an improved approach to offer the user a complete and modern user experience, but for this to be possible, some criteria are required that can affect the performance of the system and we are talking, for example, about animations, effects and processes. ..
When Windows 11 is updated or installed for the first time, we will see a stable system and in optimal conditions, but with the passage of time, the installation of applications and other tasks, this performance can be affected and it has a direct impact on our work and using Windows 11.
For these reasons TechnoWikis will explain various reasons to clean and optimize the operating system in a detailed step by step each one of them..
