How to accelerate the Internet from GPEDIT in Windows 10

Maybe you didn’t know, but Windows reserves a portion of the bandwidth for itself. This percentage is 20%. Obviously, this value is intended for the operation of some programs. Also, for those users with high network speeds the impact is minimal. However, for those computers with limited speed, then the impact will be greater. On the other hand, it is not mandatory to maintain this 20% network percentage. So we will see a couple of methods to disable it. In the first place we will use the group policy editor. With this in mind please press the Win+R combination and run the following command:

gpedit.msc

After the editor is opened you must follow the following path: Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Network>QoS Packet Scheduler. Once there, please select the Limit reservable bandwidth policy.

Then double click on the policy. When the menu opens, please enable the policy.

Then, you only have to edit the value that is 80 and set it to 0.

Please press OK and close the editor to continue.

How to improve network speed using the registry editor.

Before continuing it is advisable to make a registry backup or create a restore point. Then press the Win+R combination and execute the following command:

regedit

Once the registry editor is opened, please go to this path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Psched

Once there, double-click on the DWORD value NonBestEffortLimit

The value must be at zero (0) to make use of 100% of the available bandwidth:

Press OK and close the registry editor.

In this way we have seen how to speed up the internet in Windows 10. Specifically we use two methods so that Windows 10 guarantees the user 100% of the network bandwidth. All right, we’ve come to the end for today. I hope to see you soon. See you later!
