Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc. Don�t you want to get it back for your self? Here is the trick how to get 100% of your available bandwidth without any software.
- Click �Start� then �Run� and type �gpedit.msc�without quotes. This opens the �group policy editor� and go to: �Local Computer Policy�.
- Then click on �Computer Configuration� Then�Administrative Templates�.
- Now select �Network� then �QOS Packet Scheduler�.
- Double click on �Limit Reservable bandwidth�. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the�Explain� tab i.e.� By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 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 20%.
