- Run malware scan as and when you deem necessary.
- Keep your hardware clean with a Cleanmgr, SFC/scannow, or by uninstalling manually the programs you don’t need at all.
- Backup your system periodically and set some restoration points wherever necessary.
- Keep using the “resmon” command to find out more about the processes that might be causing a problem for you.
- DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restore health is the path to follow if you want to repair the operating system as and when required without losing any data.
- Use the Security Task Manager if you want to know about the programs running in your Windows taskbar.
