This is a Myth that Windows by default reserve the 20% of bandwidth for their use. I mean updates, validation etc… So if we disable this we can increase the speed by a bit. There are many discussion article based on this topic see the official Microsoft response about it.This mostly works on broadband connection.

 


Now the procedure:

·         Go to start menu (Metro UI) in Windows 8 by pressing Windows key. Now type “gpedit.msc” in it and Click to open. In that windows go on clicking the following path:

      Lisa I agree. I tried gpedit.msc in the run command in Windows 8.1 and it says that Windows cannot find the file . Were you ever successful in locating this file?

    It helps, but very little. Should the computer be rebooted after this tweak?

    ‘gpedit.msc’ can only be used in Win 8/8.1 Pro-Enterprise. It is not available in Win 8 Core/Single Edition.

    For those using Win 8 Core/Single, you have to manually edit the registry.
