jamescarroll Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 this is sorta windows xp and internet but anywaywindows update reserves around 20% of windows just to download updatesbut how do you stop reserved bandwidth because my internet is fast but things like reserved bandwidth realy slow it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 That must be QoS related, and only when it starts to download. Believe me, it’s not taking up any of your bandwidth.I would blame your ISP for a slower connection then you pay for . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straus Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 well i donno how far it works, but this is the procedure with Windows XP and above versions there is a QOS packet handler that gets installed with the network protocol, you can take back the reserved bandwidth by this, type gpedit.msc in run, in that computer configuration - administrative templates -network - QOS packet scheduler - limit reservable bandwidth - enable - change 20 to 0%. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...B;EN-US;Q316666Clarification about the use of QoS in end computers that are running Windows XPAs in Windows 2000, programs can take advantage of QoS through the QoS APIs in Windows XP. One hundred percent of the network bandwidth is available to be shared by all programs unless a program specifically requests priority bandwidth. This "reserved" bandwidth is still available to other programs unless the requesting program is sending data. By default, programs can reserve up to an aggregate bandwidth of 20 percent of the underlying link speed on each interface on an end computer. If the program that reserved the bandwidth is not sending sufficient data to use it, the unused part of the reserved bandwidth is available for other data flows on the same host.For more information about the QoS Packet Scheduler, see Windows XP Help. Additional information about Windows 2000 QoS is available in the Windows 2000 technical library.Back to the topQoS it a non issue regardless of XP edition. if your network hardware does support it (and if it does its almost never enabled by default) then it could potentially use up to 20% of your bandwidth but it would have almost zero performance impact even in that most unlikely scenario.
