If your desktop computer makes a squeaking/whining sound when it is powered off, it could be your power supply still being on even though it should be off.
Fixing squeaking and whining sound from your computer after shutting it down can be as simple as unplugging your computer from the wall’s power outlet for a few seconds, and plugging it back in after you don’t hear the squeaking and whining sound. But, you’ll probably hear the sound the next time you startup and shutdown your computer.
I notice squeaking and whining sound from a computer happens mostly on computers which are many years old like ten years old.
I permanently fix my older desktop computer which makes squeaking and whining when powered off from clicking on shutdown on shutdown menu in Windows Start menu by replacing the power supply with a newer and better power supply like the Cooler Master Elite Power 460W Power Supply .

Switching to a lightweight Google Android keyboard can make your device run faster because of the lower RAM and CPU usage of lightweight keyboards. It can also give Google Android’s keyboard a nice modern, and simple and clean design instead of using the default keyboard which came with your device. Some Lightweight Keyboards use 4-10+ MB of RAM, and under 1% CPU resources instead of 30 MB of RAM, and a lot of CPU resources like more heavyweight keyboards with more features, graphics, and a bigger file size. The lower RAM, and CPU usage could make your Keyboard show up faster when you tap on a textbox, and less freezes and slow down problems when using your keyboard app, and there is more RAM and CPU resources available for other apps like web browsers, and games.
Lightweight keyboards apps are sometimes under 1MB in size, so you can save space, free up RAM and CPU cycles by uninstalling or disabling your default keyboard, and switching to a lightweight keyboard which is under 1MB in size, and uses very little system resources, You will have more space to install games, apps, and store your personal files, and more free system resources like RAM, and CPU cycles for running games and apps more smoothly.
