Delete stuff you do not need, but I doubt that will give you a speed boost.

But how do I see whats hogging my RAM, CPU, and GPU? I am running MSE and Super anti spyware right now though

Does anybody honestly use that horrid built-in thing? Your computer sucks, that windows index thing is useless and based almost entirely on amount of RAM.

I already saw your other post you don't need to repeat yourself.

A 23 second boot time is not bad. My brother's computer takes a minute and 24 seconds to boot, mine with Windows 7 took 37 seconds. If you want a fast boot, get an SSD. Otherwise, stop complaining.
As for the stuff performance, a Mobility HD 5650 isn't really great, it would get the job done back in 2010 for most mid-end games, but it just cuts par nowadays.

Ok now that we have that out of the way I have some new problems

First, whenever I start up my computer all this stuff starts up with it. I don't what programs are mandatory for my computer and the ones that are hogging my stuff.



Another thing is that every time I wan't to shut off my computer it always installs 3 specific updates. I have installed them repeatedly but they always want to install on shutdown



The last thing is different. Back at the beginning of the year my hard drive died. So I got a new one and reinstalled my OS and files. But now every time I start up my computer this pops up:

Can you please help me with this? especially the last one.

Issue two and three are linked. Yell at Microsoft.
Issue one can be fixed by pushing Win Key + R, typing msconfig, hitting enter, and disabling services and startup programs you don't use or don't need.

How do I tell if one is mandatory for my system?

My CPU got 6.9 on windows experience index. My GPU is 6.7

Now I am wondering why your i7 scored less than my i5.
My i5 scores a 7.4.
The best way to see the bottleneck, is to run a windowed game at maxed settings that's bothering you then get GPU-Z open on Sensors tab and open Task Manager on Performance tab, that way you can see if the game/program itself uses 100% of either. If it doesn't use 100% of either the problem is bad game optimization or the problem is from another source.

Example:


Even if my FPS is stable... This is just an example, GPU is the stressed one, the CPU seeming to have no problem, if it was for me to want even more, I should upgrade my GPU for Blockland.

Also, for your useless stuff that start with Windows: press Windowskey+R then type in msconfig go in Startup tab and disable what you consider useless, otherwise give us a image of everything you have in the Startup tab.

But eitherway, it's your GPU, as the above said actually... That is your bottleneck.

I think its a first gen i7

format your hard drive, with all the stuff you carelessly download onto your computer, it would be a good thing to do. put all  your important files on an external storage device, then format and reinstall windows.

Typically it should say "Microsoft Corp" or similar next to it. Most startup programs aren't vital, but some systems need special tools so I wouldn't disable everything.

It is.
