Allocate More RAM

If you have been using your Windows 10 computer for a while, you will notice that the device lags a little. You will also notice a lag in performance when you have multiple programs or tabs running simultaneously. If you are facing this issue, there is no need to worry. This problem can be resolved by allocating more RAM to specific apps. It may sound fancy, but the method to do this is pretty straightforward.

Allocating More RAM In Windows 10

This method basically optimizes memory usage allocation between apps and boosts performance. I am going to use this method to fix the performance issue in my browser. The process of allocating memory is the same for other applications as well. So, even if you face issues with other apps like MS Word, MS Excel, Antivirus, etc., the process to optimize performance is the same.
