5. Disable SuperFetch

The function of SuperFetch is: when the system is not busy, the SuperFetch process will allocate more memory to the most frequently used processes as cache to improve running speed. When the system is busy, the memory reserved for the cache is reduced accordingly. SuperFetch is the main reason for the high memory usage of Windows 7. However, disabling it may make some software feel stagnant when using it, but it does allow the hard disk to reduce rotation and achieve the purpose of resting and cooling down. It still comes down to personal preference.

6. Close or uninstall Windows Search

The function of Windows Search is to perform quick searches. By default, Windows Search in the Windows 7 system is turned on. If you do not use Windows Search, you can turn it off and delete Windows Search directly from Windows, which can also reduce the amount of hard disk space occupied. Windows Search will still be stored on the hard drive and can be opened again when needed.
