It’s becoming more sluggish, so I ran CCleaner to tidy things up and tried using compressed air to clear the vents. Any other suggestions? I just want to keep my PC running for a while.

You're facing low storage space. Consider cleaning up unused apps or moving files instead of deleting them one by one.

The simplest approach is to save any required files and carry out a new Windows installation.

You have no other options except to use specialized tools like the Iobit Uninstaller to remove the app.

It’s becoming slower due to unnecessary background processes. Many Windows apps start automatically but aren’t essential at launch. You can disable or uninstall them, use built-in cleanup tools, or create a fresh installation after backing up data. An in-place repair can also refresh the system without losing files.

Choose SSD or HDD? Ask: 'Although it seems unlikely, it's likely not hardware-related. Cut down on startup items.'

Your computer is running slowly and you're missing storage space. It's a good idea to back up all your files and perform a fresh installation of Windows.

If you haven't cleaned the box in a year, open the side and use a good blower such as XPower. It's advisable to wear a painter's mask. If you're backing up your HDD files right away, do it soon. HDDs slow down when they're near failure. Cutting down startup applications was already recommended, I fully agree with that.

I'm here with you, but I'm not sure how thoroughly they clean or if I have any background in cleaning software. What I do understand is turning off automatic startup for programs you don't need running at boot. You can adjust this via Task Manager under the Autostart section.

Avoid using cleaning tools that risk deleting important files. Instead, consider dusting vents with a vacuum for better results. Make sure the laptop is off and use low power on the vacuum to prevent spreading dust deeper into the system. Canned air can also help, but be cautious not to open the laptop or disturb components. Regular vacuum cleaning helps maintain performance without damage.
