Why does any windows get slow over time?
Hey all,
I'm actually running Windows 7 RC, but have found it to be the case with this also.
Always after a few weeks/months, Windows slows down considerably from when you first installed it. This is despite my having auto defrag on every week, cleaning up temp files etc.
I know more services might be installed with programs, but other than this what do people think is the reason for this 'bit rot' of sorts?
When I was testing out drivers I installed Win7RC on another partition of a different hard drive, and that was super fact and responsive as this was when first installed. Obviously the slow down isn't huge, but it is definitely noticeable.
