How to stop Windows from using background internet access
Windows Usually uses about 20% of your bandwidth, Here's Get it back
A nice little tweak for XP. Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)
Here's how to get it back:
Click Start-->Run--> "gpedit.msc" without the "
This opens the group . Then go to:
Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Scheduler-->Limit Reservable Bandwidth
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :
"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this 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%.
I have tested on XP , and 2000
other o/s not tested.
Please give me feedback about your results
