Slow PC optimisation in Mougins
In Mougins, is your PC or Mac dragging? Before thinking about changing machine, a thorough software clean-up is enough in 70% of cases. On-site visit (Tournamy, Mougins-le-Haut, Notre-Dame-de-Vie) or at the workshop in Le Cannet, from €50.
The slow PC is a common reason for calls in Mougins, particularly for remote workers whose work machine has built up years of installed-and-uninstalled software and various configurations. In most cases, the hardware is still fine — it's the software build-up that slows everything down.
My clean-up goes further than a basic CCleaner: clean uninstallation of unnecessary programs (along with their leftovers in the registry), manual removal of PUPs and adware not detected by standard antivirus software, start-up optimisation, targeted updating of problematic drivers, integrity check of the Windows or macOS system. Allow 1 to 3 h depending on the initial state.
For Mougins residents, I ideally work at your home — it saves you having to transport the equipment and you can see what's being done as it happens. Many of my customers in Mougins-le-Haut or Notre-Dame-de-Vie take the opportunity to ask me the technical questions they've built up (Wi-Fi dragging in the study, a temperamental printer, how to sort their photos). I answer, it's included.

Frequently asked questions
My Mac has been dragging since macOS Sequoia, is that normal?expand_more
Not quite — Sequoia has weighed down quite a few Macs, but with good optimisation (disabling unnecessary agents, clearing caches, memory management), you get decent responsiveness back. If the machine is old (Mac before 2018), an SSD may be needed as well.
My remote-working PC takes 4 minutes to start, I've lost 1 h a week just to boot-ups.expand_more
A typical Mougins case. Start-up optimisation: disabling the heavy services that launch automatically (Adobe, Skype, OneDrive, Teams, etc.), Windows clean-up. Boot in 30 seconds after the visit. 1 to 2 h on site.
Is optimisation enough or do I need an SSD?expand_more
It depends on the diagnosis. If the slowness comes mainly from the software, optimisation is enough (saving €100-150). If the mechanical hard drive is old and worn out, the SSD is the next step. I tell you honestly after the diagnosis.
How much does a call-out to Mougins cost?expand_more
Included for any job over €60. For shorter jobs, a €15 call-out charge.
Do you offer follow-up after the optimisation?expand_more
Yes, via the **Zen Package** at €99/year: two annual services, priority support, no more slowdown worries in the middle of a production week. Very well suited to Mougins remote workers.
