One of the issues users have found that pops up while installing the Windows 10 Anniversary Update is that all of a sudden their internet connectivity drops. Whether wired or wireless, you may notice a speed drop in your internet speed and this is thanks to a feature called Window Auto-Tuning. Window Auto-Tuning was originally introduced in Windows Vista to help improve the overall performance of programs that received TCP data over a connected network.
In theory, this will help stabilize internet performance for most users but for some; they may find connectivity issues and slow network speed. While you should see an immediate result, we recommend restarting your PC and cycling your home network just to be safe.
Special thanks to Ghacks who reported on this issue and the fix here. After checking for issues with your internet connection, try these steps to speed up downloads on Windows Download one thing at a time.
If you download multiple files on different devices for example, your computer and your game console simultaneously, each download will be competing with the other. Use an Ethernet cable or move closer to the router. If your computer has an Ethernet port , connect it directly to your modem. Circumventing the router ensures a stable connection.
If that's not an option, remove any obstructions between your computer and the router, making sure they are as physically close as possible. Delete temporary files. Your computer stores temporary files for programs you often use to speed up its performance, but too many temporary files can slow things down. Switch web browsers. Your default browser may not be optimized for your internet connection, so try downloading the file in a different browser.
Turn off the metered connection. If you set a metered connection to limit data usage, disable it to maximize download speeds. Turn off background apps. Applications that run in the background and use the internet can interfere with download speeds, so disable any apps that take up a lot of bandwidth and resources. Use a download manager.
Some download managers can download files from multiple sources simultaneously, allowing for faster download speeds. To limit a program's bandwidth, find it on the list and double-click it. You can use the Download Priority and Upload Priority dropdowns to adjust its usage based on preset filters. This is handy if, for example, you still want a program to be unrestricted, but want other programs to use the bandwidth first if they need it. Alternatively, choose Custom from the dropdown to define your own limits.
If you want to get into the nitty-gritty, you can set rules and filters; navigate to these sections from the icons on the left-hand menu. Alternatively, you can keep using it for free as a network monitor only. When you launch NetLimiter you'll see a list of all your open applications, along with their current bandwidth usage. Of course, some applications will naturally use more bandwidth than others, but it's handy to identify those which are consuming more than they need to.
To edit those defaults, right-click a row and click Add rule. Here you can change the bandwidth boundaries. NetLimiter comes with a day trial period. Net-Peeker has a simple user interface. At the top, you can see the active upload and download usage, along with access to a brief settings screen and some other features the program offers, like a system guard. We'll just be focusing on its bandwidth limiting ability.
The main table lists all active processes on your system, along with its bandwidth consumption. You can double-click a process to get extremely detailed information on the Network Sessions and Loaded Modules tabs. On either an entire process from the main window or on a specific network session, you can right-click to manage the connection. You can Limit speed to specify set bandwidth boundaries and Abort connection to disconnect it all together until you open it again.
Net-Peeker gives you a day trial to experience all of its features. SoftPerfect Bandwidth Manager is a good program, but it is tricky to get to grips with. When you first launch, you'll need to enter your network address and password before you can start monitoring the traffic.
