Many owners of laptops and desktop personal computers notice that their devices are too slow — freezing, programs take a long time to load, and they take a long time to turn on, without even realizing that the cause of the difficulties is quite trivial.

As NBN reports with a link to the thematic portal Bibliotech, there may be many reasons that provoke the above-described behavior of the “gadget”, but one of them is a desktop that is too overloaded with shortcuts and icons.
In particular, a large number of icons on the desktop slows down the computer, due to the fact that all the shortcuts are actually placed on the same disk where the operating system is installed, which needs “space” for stable operation.
Experts recommend leaving no more than 3-5 icons on the desktop, for example, standard elements such as “My Computer”, “Recycle Bin”, browsers and the most necessary programs for work, and the rest should be moved to specially created folders.
Also, you should regularly empty the “Recycle Bin”, as the files in it continue to take up space on the system disk.
