How long does it take to learn programming

✓ Accepted Answer

To speed up a slow Windows computer without spending money, start with these free steps: Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and check what's using your CPU and RAM. If one application is consuming everything, that's your culprit. Right-click and end task to test if it's the cause. Disable startup programs. In Task Manager click the Startup tab. Disable anything that doesn't need to launch with Windows. This alone can dramatically speed up boot time. Clear your temp files. Press Windows key + R, type %temp% and press Enter. Select all files and delete them. Empty the Recycle Bin after. If you have a traditional HDD rather than SSD, run Defragment and Optimize Drives from the Start menu. SSDs don't need this. Finally, check if your storage drive is nearly full. Windows needs at least 15% free space to operate well. Delete old files or move them to external storage if needed.

Start with the basics: restart both your router and the device you're trying to connect. Unplug the router for 30 seconds then plug it back in. On your device, forget the wifi network and reconnect fresh by entering the password again. This solves about 70% of wifi issues. If that doesn't work, check whether other devices can connect to the same wifi. If they can, the problem is your specific device. On Windows open Device Manager and update your network adapter driver. On a phone go to Settings > Network and reset network settings. Also check if you're connecting to the right band. Modern routers broadcast on 2.4GHz and 5GHz with similar names. The 5GHz band is faster but shorter range. Try the 2.4GHz network if you're far from the router. If nothing works, try connecting to a mobile hotspot. If that works, the problem is definitely your router settings or ISP. Log into your router admin panel (usually 192.168.1.1) and check if your device's MAC address is blocked.

To recover deleted files, act quickly. When a file is deleted it isn't immediately erased — it's marked as available space. But new files can overwrite it. The sooner you try recovery, the better. Recuva is the best free recovery tool for Windows. Download it from Piriform's website, install it, and run a deep scan on the drive where the file was. It will show recoverable files — save recovered files to a different drive than the one you're scanning. On Mac, check the Trash first. If it's not there, Time Machine is your best bet if you had it enabled. System Preferences > Time Machine. If not, PhotoRec is a free cross-platform recovery tool. For accidentally deleted cloud files (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive), check the trash within the web interface. Cloud services typically retain deleted files for 30 days. If these fail and the file is critical, professional recovery services exist but cost several hundred pounds/dollars.
