Just tired of slightly slow internet?
Windows uses 35% of your bandwidth which makes your internet slow.Here’s how to Get it back
.
A nice little tweak for all windows. NOTE: Please don’t comment like ” can this work in windows 8.1?”, “can this work with windows 10?”, and those blah, blah.
I mean it works with all windows. Microsoft reserve 35% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)
Its one of the old stuffs in Windows.
.
Here’s how to get it back:
.
Click Start–>Run–>type “gpedit.msc” without the extension.
.
This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:
Go to Local Computer Policy–>Computer Configuration–>Administrative Templates–>Network–>QOS Packet Scheduler–>Limit Reservable Bandwidth
.
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the ‘Explain’ tab :
.
“By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 35 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default.”
.
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO.
.
This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 35%.
