Computer Speedup trick - turn off iCloud Photo Sync

Start the icloud app and then clear all thse options for Photos

The title of the post says it all really. For a while I’ve been bothered by the way that the fan in my PC kept coming on when I wasn’t doing much. Then things seemed to slow down every now and then. A little detective work with Task Manager showed that the Apple iCloud Photo Sync process was grabbing 10% of my machine for no apparent reason. I’ve turned off photo sync. There’s no particular need for it on the PC and it has solved the problem.

I had a look at the Apple support for this problem and the suggested solution was to remove iCloud and install it again. Which wasn’t terribly impressive.
