SQL Express 2014 Performance tweaks : I have a few customers who are running a third party program and they often complain of slowness when the program searches and even freezes at points. The computers are running i7 3.2ghz with 16 GB memory on a 1 terabyte hard drive. The performance of the actual computer is great. I am in no way a SQL Admin, I can navigate through it and write basic queries like inner joins. Are there any settings in SQL Express that I can modify to help performance wise?
