Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc


You can get it back:


Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes.This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy
then Computer Configuration
then Administrative Templates then Network then QOS Packet Scheduler and then to Limit Reservable Bandwidth.

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%.It works on Win 2000 as well.



Note:This trick works only for windows xp sp2 professional and windows 2000 professional.It does not work on windows xp sp2 home edition.


Tested...It's 100% Working...:rock:

old trick buddy..........i think already posted...check before posting

as he said it was already posted dude ... post a new one which rocks pc ..any way a good try dude

It's a trick I've been meaning to try but I still want the automatic updates so if I only took 15% of my bandwidth back would my automatic updates still run?Would the updates be dramatically slower?

Thanks.

do u need to restart ur pc once u have done this, to see the effects, and also does it work
