I have been using Windows 10 on my PC for a while now, and I have noticed that it has become slower over time. I have tried some basic troubleshooting steps such as running a virus scan, freeing up disk space, and disabling unnecessary startup programs, but the performance issue persist. I am wondering if there are any advanced optimization techniques or tools that I can use to improve my PC's performance on Windows 10. Are there any specific settings or configurations that I should change to optimize performance? Or are there any third-party tools that can help me diagnose and fix the issue? I am looking for a comprehensive guide on how to maintain and optimize my PC's performance on Windows 10. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Have a look at: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/tips-to-improve-pc-performance-in-windows-b3b3ef5b-5953-fb6a-2528-4bbed82fba96 You already followed some steps and you may follow others. There are third-party products which state they will improve the performance but they might cause other issues, so they are not generally recommended.
Thank you for your response and for the helpful link. I will definitely check out the other tips mentioned in the article. I was also curious if you have any specific third-party products in mind that you would recommend or advise against using for improving PC performance? I appreciate your input on this matter.
Welcome, normally I won't recommend third-party tools because from experience they would cause more problem in long term.
