Hi Naqib,

In order to make your Internet connection faster, you can use the below fixes one by one and see if it works:

Fix 1. Delete browsing History
Start your computer up in safe mode and run a complete antivirus scan. While that is running go to Internet explorer reset it back to default setting and wait for the scan to finish.

Then try opening up your Internet Explorer click on safety tab click on delete browser history leave the first box blank and check mark all the rest of the boxes.

Fix 2: Uninstall unused programs
New PCs come with a whole load of programs you will never use, and you probably don’t even know they exist. Some programs even run background processes when you load your computer, even though you are not using them.

To remove all these pointless programs, open the Control Panel’s Programs and Features page, and have a trawl through the list of installed software.
Uninstall those that you do not need, while being careful to leave programs your computer’s hardware needs.

Fix 3: Automatically delete temporary files

Temporary files amass on your computer through everyday tasks and can remain on your hard disk, slowing the computer down. Getting rid of these files, including your internet history and cookies, should give you a larger amount of hard disk space, speeding up your PC.

To do this, open “My Computer”, and select your local drive (usually C:\). Select the “Windows” folder and then open the folder titled “Temp”.

Use your mouse to right-click on the folder, and in the “View” options, choose “Details”. Once this is done, select all the files that are older than the current date and press the delete key. Then go to the Recycle Bin on your desktop and empty it.

Fix 4: Run a disk defragmentation

Disk Defragmenter is a utility in Microsoft Windows designed to increase access speed by rearranging files stored on a disk to occupy contiguous storage locations, a technique called defragmentation.

You need to go to “My Computer”, right-click on the hard drive and select “Properties”. Under the “Tools” tab there should be an option to “Defragment Now”.




Fix 5: Run disk clean up

Windows also includes a built-in disk de-cluttering tool called “Disk Cleanup”.

It searches through the system for unnecessary large files such as temporary Internet files, program installers, and so on.

Open Disk Cleanup by clicking “Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup”.

Also, free up space on your C drive by performing the below steps as it is very important to have at least 5GB of remaining space for programs to work at their normal speed:

Disable Hibernation on your Windows

Just click on the Start button and select Turn off computer. Hold down the Shift button and see if the Standby icon changes to Hibernate. If it does, Hibernation mode is enabled.

If Hibernation is on, you can disable it by going into the Control Panel and clicking on the Power Options icon. Click on the Hibernate tab. Uncheck the Enable hibernation checkbox and click OK.

I hope this helps in solving your problem of slow internet.

Regards,
Lokesh

On all screenshots I see, it shows the Start Screen on the "Dashboard Tile". But for me, it shows Skype. I also don't understand the difference between the settings "Enabled", "Disabled" and "Dynamic". Only "Hidden" is obvious, and it removes the Skype tile. But the other options don't seem to make any difference...

The blue background (or transparent background) doesn't look good at all when I use other colors for the other tiles. Also, to clarify I only want to change the reviversoft tile's blue background; not the whole start menu's background color. Also if it could be removed completely that would be nice :) or at least change the whole picture so that it can line up well with the other tiles on the start menu.
