How to configure “Limit Reservable Bandwidth” in Windows 11 or 10 to increase download speeds?

In this video, we will guide you on How to Increase Internet Speed on Windows 11 or 10? by configuring “Limit Reservable Bandwidth” in Windows 11 or 10.

By default, Microsoft reserves the right to limit network bandwidth by 80% to accommodate system activities. However, you can change this setting if you need it.

In Windows 11 or 10, you can speed up download speed up to 20 percent; whether you are using the internet through Ethernet or over Wi-Fi, download and upload speeds are very important to your Windows PC’s overall performance. If you frequently download or upload large files through the internet, there is a tweak to gain more performance.

With the default configuration of Windows 11 and 10, as part of its quality assurance package, Microsoft reserves the right to limit network bandwidth by as much as 80% to accommodate system activities such as security updates and license checks. In everyday use of the internet, you may likely not even notice the slow internet, but when downloading large files, the limit may hit and tighten your PC’s network performance.

Using this video guide, you can limit or disable the default setting that allows Windows 11 and 10 to reserve your network bandwidth for its own purposes. Here is how to do it.
