64GB DDR5 RAM in 2024 vs. 2026: From $219.99 to $1,301.99 real quick! 😭 I literally built an entire PC in 2024 for less than what 64GB of RAM costs today... 💀

Drop a comment: What’s the most ridiculous price hike you’ve seen on PC parts lately? Is anyone actually paying over $1,300 for sticks right now?! 👇

Clean up your system safely using native Windows PowerShell commands. No third-party bloatware, no fake turbo modes—just transparent maintenance straight from official Microsoft documentation.

💡 Pro-Tip: Save this video for later so you have these commands ready the next time your PC feels sluggish!

Note: Command #2 is designed specifically for Solid State Drives (SSDs). If you're still running an old-school mechanical Hard Disk Drive (HDD), you can skip the TRIM command, as HDDs rely on traditional defragmentation instead.

How to Run These Commands:
Open PowerShell (search for it in your Windows Start menu).

Copy and paste each command one by one, hitting Enter after each line.

Note: Command #2 requires an Administrator PowerShell window to execute properly.

# 1. Clear Active User Temp Files

Remove-Item -Path "$env:TEMP\*" -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

# 2. Run SSD ReTRIM Pass (Requires Admin PowerShell)

Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter C -ReTrim -Verbose

# 3. Audit Background Startup Apps

Get-CimInstance Win32_StartupCommand | Select-Object Name, Location

Official Microsoft Documentation Sources:

This maintenance logic is built directly on native Windows administration modules:

Linux has never been better. Proton, SteamOS, and W**e are absolute game-changers for the OS. So why am I still sitting here booting into Windows every day? Three words: Kernel-level anti-cheat. When competitive multiplayer games demand Ring 0 root access just to let me play a few matches on a Saturday, open-source freedom gets locked right out. Am I the only one ready to pull my hair out over this, or are you guys still dealing with the Windows tax too? Let me know in the comments!
