Windows 10 Anniversary Update and Slow Internet Speeds

Hi Brad,

Thank you for your response and suggestion. I followed the steps but the Advanced window on the Properties does not include a property called "Bandwidth" as shown in the example. The card is a Dell Wireless 1705 802.11 b/g/n (2.4 GHz).  The driver has been updated and is from Qualcomm Atheros Communications Inc., # 3.0.2.201 dated 2/27/16.

Regards,

Henry

Install the newer driver:

NATAKUC4 - this driver did not have any impact on internet speed. It also did not give me a choice of frequencies.

NATAKUC4 or Brad - any further ideas? New network adapter?

Hi Henry,

I apologize for the delay in response, but I have been out of the office. Were you still having trouble with the adapter? If so, under Device Manager can you tell me what wireless adapter is now showing (after the driver installs)? Also, go ahead and Private Message me you Service Tag (please do not post this in the thread).

Best regards,

Brad

I know how you feel my friend, because I asked this very question myself :)

1. Close the Peer to Peer Update Process on Your Computer

 

I actually did this when I first got my laptop which came with Windows 10, and let me say it did have a great effect on my internet speed.

 

 

Step 1:  To start off, Click Start and then go ahead type Settings to open it.

 

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ

Step 2:  Next select Update and Security

 

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ

Step 3:  Now click on Advanced Options

 

Step 4:  You’re almost there! Click on Choose How Updates are Delivered.

 

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ

Step 5:  Finally, go ahead and turn off the On button.

 

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ

Now you no longer need to send your own precious internet for complete strangers around you.

 

 

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ

2. Quit your background apps

 

There’s two parts to do this.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Find out which of your apps take up most of your Internet

Here’s how you can see which of your apps take up most of the internet and how to turn it off.

 

 

Step 1: Start off by right-clicking the Windows Taskbar. Open Task Manager. (You can also search on your computer or ask cortana on Windows 10)

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ

Step 2: Once you’re in your Task Manager’s menu, click on the Performance tab.

 

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ

Step 3: Now click on Open Resource Monitor from the bottom part of the window.

 

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ

Step 4: Lastly, click on the Network tab and check for all your apps or services that have a high number of send and receive requests.

 

The way it works is, the higher the number, then it shows that these apps or services are taking a chunk of your internet bandwidth.

 

 

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ

Quitting your Apps

 

Since now you have an idea or sort of which of the apps or services that takes up most of your internet, you can now get onto disabling them.

 

Here’s how you can do that in just two little steps.

 

Step 1: Click on Start and then select your Settings.

 

Step 2: Next click on Privacy, and then Background apps. Here’s where you can turn Off for the apps and services that feed off your internet.

 

 

 

 

 

3. Adjusting your Internet Bandwidth settings

 

Your Windows actually keeps away 20 percent of your Internet bandwidth just for its OS and other system-related ‘stuff’.

 

 

What does this mean?

 

Well, since you only have the remaining 80 percent for you to use, you can actually get back that 20 percent for you to use.

 

 

Here’s how you can do that in just six simple steps.

 

Step 1:  Go ahead and get the Run window up by clicking on Windows key+R key on your keyboard. (You can also search for it on your computer)

 

 

Step 2:  Type gpedit.msc in the search box and then press OK.

 

 

Step 3:  Alright! Now you will find that the Group Policy window will come up, so what you have to do here is just click on Computer Configuration

 

 

Step 4:  Next go to Administrative Templates, then Network, and lastly QoS Packet Scheduler. Once you’re here click on Limit reservable bandwidth

 

Step 5:  Now in the new window that comes up, all you have to do is just two things. First choose Enabled and then change the Bandwidth limit (%) to 100.

 

 

Step 6:  Make sure that you Apply these new changes that you just made and then click on OK.

 

 

That’s it! :)
