How To Boost Internet Speed on Windows 10.

No matter whichever device you are using to access the internet connection. This trick will work with all of the internet equipment. Whether it’s a Lan connection, Mobile broadband, WiFi, LiFi, or Fiber wire. LiFi is a new invention, that currently not that much popular, and unfortunately there is no LiFi in a consumer product form out there, But we will definitely see one in the market near future. Technically speaking LiFi is the use of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to transmit information at a very high speeds. So if you are even using a LiFi to access the internet This method will definitely work for you. This method is universally supported, means that as long as we can access an internet connection there then we can definitely use this trick! this method is also compatible with any ISP’s out there.

Step number 1, Group policy editor.

In this step we gonna show you how to remove your system reserved bandwidth which is 20% of your entire bandwidth, for example before you applying this step, you will only getting 80% of your total bandwidth, and the rest 20% is reserved by your operating system for some wired reason, I know, you are not gonna believe me right now, until you try it on your self. So let’s start doing this! Head over to the start menu and search for run, and type ‘gpedit.msc’ and click on ok, now you can see a window will appear which is the group policy editor. If you are using a Windows 10 home version, probably you are not gonna see this window appear. Because this feature will only available for Windows 10 superior versions like Windows 10 pro or enterprise. So if you are using a Windows 10 home version. Under normal circumstance there isn’t a way other than upgrading to a higher version, to get this feature, but we can search on Google for how to get this feature on Windows home version, I’m sure you will definitely find one!, even I have done it once! So if you are not planning to do one of the two ways that I that I mentioned above, then the better thing for you to skip the first step To Boost Internet Speed on Windows 10. This decision is clearly up to you. Ok let’s continue, From the group policy editor you gonna wanna double click on “Computer configuration” Then double click on administrative templates and from here go to network, and then go to “QoS Packets Scheduler”, and finally from here you gonna wanna choose “limit reservable bandwidth”. Now you can see a window will appear, which is the limit reservable bandwidth! Just change this settings status to enabled, then under option you will find the band width limit percentage, You can see by default it is set as 80%, what we gonna do is change that in to 0%, For getting the best speed from your available bandwidth. Now hit this previous setting button on top side, then you will get here on “limit outstanding packets” window. Change this setting statues from not configured to enabled, now you can see the number of packets options, down here, by default 65535, what we gonna do is change that in to the maximum, For that click in side and erase the old value and type 4 followed nine zeros. Now you can click on apply then ok, Now you can close them all.

Step Number 2, Register tweaks.

In this step we are gonna show you how to register tweak to speed up your internet performance. Go to your start screen and search for run and type “regedit” and click on ok. From here you gonna wanna go to the “Hkey local machine” click on it, and then you wanna go to software, Then go to “Microsoft”, Now scroll down a little bit and go to “Windows” and here you will find “current version”, click on it! Now you can go to the inner field and right click on somewhere, and you will see this menu called “NEW” and you will see a drop down menu and form here, you gonna select “Dword” Just click on it, Now name the new rule ‘MaxConnectionPerServer’ without any space in between Now click on it and modify it’s value to 16, click on ok. Know you gonna wanna create another Dword, as same as we done earlier, just right click anywhere inside the registry editor inner field, and you will see a menu called new, just place your mouse over and it will drop down a sub menu and from here you gonna wanna select Dword. Now name this one as ‘MaxConnectionPer1_0Server’ without any space in between. Now right click on it and modify it’s value to 16 again. Now we are done editing the registry, just click on ok and close everything.

Step Number 3, Disable Tcp Auto Tuning.

From Windows Vista onwards Microsoft includes a feature called TCP Auto-tuning, to help improve performance for programs that receive TCP data. and we found, if we disable the Tcp Auto Tuning, we will get bigger boost in our internet speed, and We test it over and over again with in different systems and ISP’s Most of them are showing an increase in their internet speed. So we gonna be show you how to do it! Go to your start screen, and search for cmd or command prompt. Just right click on it and from the right click menu, click on run as administrator. It is an important step, don't miss it! Now you will see a black window appears which is the command prompt It self. Now you gonna wanna copy this command. Which is “netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled” Now click on enter and wait for 5 second, Now you can see we just disable Tcp auto tuning successfully. Now you can close the command prompt.

Step Number 4, Open DNS Super speed.

An Open DNS is a company and service which extends the Domain Name System by adding features such as phishing protection and optional content filtering to traditional recursive DNS services. So if you use an open DNS, it will fetch the domain names more faster than the regular and comparatively slower DNS servers provided by your ISP’s. You can also fund lot of other DNS servers on the internet as well. For example lets add this high speed DNS server to my network adapter For that you gonna wanna head over to your task bar. And there you will see network icon. If you are using WiFi, to get connected to the internet. Whatever right click on the network Icon. Then click on open network and sharing center. And from here you will find the change adapter settings hyperlink on the left side of the window. Just click on it, and you will get to the network connection window. and from here choose your network adapter and right click on it. And from the right click menu! You gonna wanna click on properties. Now you will see Ethernet properties. Now scroll through the settings and you find a setting called “internet protocol version 6” Just un- tick that settings from your Ethernet Properties, by clicking inside the box, right beside the setting. Now look for a settings called internet protocol version 4, just double click on it and then you will get the internet protocol version 4 properties. Now you can see its default selection is “obtain an IP address automatically” option. Just switch that in it “Use the following IP address”. Now you can see the fields are enabled, and this is the time to get the high speed DNS. Select one of this high speed DNS servers.

Alternate DNS server : 218.248.241.2

Copy the first one and past it to the preferred DNS server. Now get the second one and past it to the traceralternate DNS server. Then hit ok. Now you can close them all.

Step number 5, Remove unwanted add-ons, extensions and plugins.

In this step we are gonna show you how to optimize the browser for a better internet speed. For example let’s optimize Google Chrome. Launch your Google Chrome. Now go to the upper right corner and click the menu, and go to more tools, now click on extensions option. Now you can see all the extensions or add-ons are installed in your browser. Delete every unwanted and rarely using extension. By just clicking on the delete icon. By doing so your browser will become more efficient and it will definitely give you a better browsing experience. Now we have done almost everything to speed up your internet.

How To Speed Up Your Windows 10 Performance Without Any Third Party Software

This article show you how to speed up your windows 10 performance without any third party software, and it’s totally free as well. There are 10 main steps in this article, and before we starting, please update your Windows 10 to the latest version, and regularly check for updated as well. Because an outdated system may cause performance issues, and there is no doubt in it.

Step Number 1, Power Option Settings.

In this step, we gonna show you an important thing to boost your system performance using control panel power options settings. So let’s go to start menu, and click on this gear icon, and you will see the windows settings, Now navigate to ‘System settings’ and open ‘Power & Sleep’ tab, then click on the additional power settings, which will launch the control panel power options window. Normally windows default choice will be ‘Balance power plan’ but I recommend you to choose ‘High-performance’ power plan, because of its favors performance over the energy usage. If you didn’t find the ‘High-performance power plan’, make sure you always check the Hidden additional plans tab. Now click on the change power plan settings, and you will get ‘change advanced power settings’, Now go to Hard disk and change this ‘Setting Minutes from 20 to 0’, Now scroll down and go to ‘processor power management’, and go to Minimum processor state and set that to ‘0 %’, then go to maximum processor state and make sure you set that to ‘100 %’. Now click apply then click OK, and you are pretty much ready to close the window. So let's jump to next one!

Step number 2, Windows settings.

In this step, we are gonna disable every unwanted or rarely using settings or features from the Windows Settings, and by doing that you can retrieve a good amount of system resources free, which will naturally cause better system performance. So pay close attention and follow this step!. First, go to the start menu and click on the gear icon, or you can also search settings on the start menu as well. As you can see the windows settings is just launched, first you gonna need to navigate to privacy settings, now disable let apps use advertising ID, Let websites provide locally relevant content, let windows track app launches, and finally disable show me suggested content option as well.

Now navigate to location tab, and we recommend to disable the location service if you don’t use it that often. Now click on change, and disable ‘Location for this device’ option. As same as we deal with the location service only disable it if you don’t use it. Now navigate to Camera tab, and disable everything which uses your camera, except Skype or similar apps, because some people use it very often. And once you have done that, Navigate to Microphone tab, and disable every app from using your microphone expect skype or voice recorder in case you’re using it.

Now navigate to Contacts tab, and disable it for every other option other than Email and accounts, If you have a different preference, you can leave those apps enabled. Now navigate to Calendar and disable let apps access my calendar, then navigate to call history, and as same as the Calendar, disable let apps access my call history. Now navigate to email and disable let apps access and send email, then Navigate to radios tab, and disable let apps control radios. Now navigate to feedback & diagnostics, Now choose ‘Basic’ option from here. Then navigate to background apps. Now disable everything accept Alarm, Mail, Settings, and Windows Defender. Or you can leave any other app as you prefer if you think it’s important for you. And that’s all you can disable in the privacy settings. Now let’s go back to home, then navigate to system settings. And once you are here go to notification & action tab, now disable Show notifications on the lock screen, Show reminders and incoming VoIP’s, hide notifications when I’m duplication my screen” Option. Now disable notification from all unwanted or rarely using application except Mail and Skype. If you have a different preference, you can enable those apps for notification. Now go back again and this time let's navigates to ‘gaming setting’ now on the game bar tab disable the option, Record game clips screenshots and broadcast using the game bar, Now disable Show Game bar when I play full-screen games options. Now navigate to the Game DVR tab, and from here turn of Record in the background while I’m playing a game option, then turn of recorded audio when I record a game, and finally disable Capture mouse cursor in recordings option. Game bar is the worst solution for gameplay recording, and most of the people don’t ever use it. Now navigate to Broadcasting tab, and disable Record audio when I broadcast option, then disable capture mouse cursor in broadcasts option. Now go to true play tab, and make sure you are disabled that as well, it’s basically an anti-cheat feature for games, And we don’t really need it, and that’s all you can do on the windows settings.

Step Number 3, Defragment and Optimize Drives.

Only follow this step if you have installed your windows on your HDD or hard disk, If you are using an SSD or Solid State Drive Please Avoid doing this step. Go to start menu and search Defragment and Optimize Drives, and click on it, once it’s open select your ‘C’ drive or system driver, which you have installed your windows 10 OS on. Now click on optimize. You may wonder if you have installed windows on an SSD, and still doing this defragmentation on it?. In case you do, it will not cause anything serious to your SSDs, but defragmentation will Wright unnecessarily data to your SSD, And Windows 10 itself do defrag your SSD’s Automatically in certain periods. So it’s not a big deal if you’re accidentally done it. If you’re using a conventional hard drive, definitely follow this step, Because Your mechanical drives need defragmentation, because, on a regular hard disk, data is stored in diferent sectors on the platter, and mostly the reading head had to reach to multiple locations on the palter to read a single file, so by doing this optimization, Your hard drive data will sort out and place everything where they belong to, so the read head doesn’t have to move to different locations to read a single file, may result in faster load times, and better performance.

But in the other hand a solid-state drive doesn’t read or Wright files in a similar manner, because it’s don’t have any moving part inside. It’s more like a memory card, so it’s not necessary to defrag an SSD if you can avoid it. Also make sure you have defrag all your other drivers, in case you have multiple partitions. As well as I recommend to replace your Hard drives with SSDs if you can afford it because SSDs had incredible read and write speeds comparing to your conventional hard drives as well as they can load thing really faster as well. So I think it’s an additional way to gain even more performance. You can upgrade it to any kind of PC’s which has the space to accommodate a common Hard Drive. So i think that's pretty much here, so let's jump to the next step!

Step Number 4, Disable Unwanted Start Up Programs.

For that all you need is to go to the Task manager, just right click on the taskbar and choose task manager ang go to Startup tab, and you will see apps which are atomically start when your system starts. We don’t need most of these programs start automatically when our system start,

because we don’t really use them all on a daily basis as well as they will cause your boot time go slower, and decrease in system performance, because once it startup when your system start, it will stay running in the background forever until you shut down your computer manually. So let’s go and disable every unwanted program from starting up automatically when your system boot. Simply go ahead and select a program, then click on the disable button, which will disable the program from automatic startup while windows boot. If you have a preference for a particular app, then you can leave that one enabled for startup. As well as I highly recommend to don’t disable your antivirus program and windows defender. As well as please note, the changes will only effect once you restated your system. By doing this process your windows 10 boot time will become much faster than ever before. As well as it will increase your Windows 10 performance by not allowing unwanted programs to run in background. So let's go to the next step!

Step Number 5, Delete Every Unnecessary File.

This is the way to free up some hard drive space and reduce system loads. We can call it a cleaning process if you want. But we are not using any tools to do it, because of most of the third party tools it self’s cause slower system performance for a variety of reasons. We have to do a couple of things, so let’s start by clearing the temporary files, hit windows key + R, shortcut and you will see a run box, now type in ‘temp’ and click on ok, now it will open a folder, and you will see a huge number of file. These files are only created for one time use, Programs sometimes store temporary information in Temp folder before a program closes, it usually never uses again by the program, so we can get rid of them. Select them all, now hit shift key + delete and it will delete the fills forever. Now we have to go the run box again, so hit windows key + R again, and then type %temp% now click on ok, and similarly, we will see another folder with bunch of unwanted files, select them all and hit shift key + Delete on your keyboard. Now you can close the folder. And Before we left for next step, I have to share you one more tip, it maybe simple but believe me it’s very effective when it comes to reducing some system lag. it none other but your recycle bin, Go to your recycle bin and delete everything you have there, I have to remind you about it even if it’s so silly, because there are people who never clean their recycle bins, Please note whenever you delete a file from your system by choosing the right click delete option, or by pressing the delete key on your keyboard, it will not actually deleting forever from your computer, unless it will keep the files in your recycle bin for a certain limit, and the windows 10 default recycle bin limit is some were around a 100 GBs, and all those space are acquired from your 'C driver' or system driver, the drive which you have installed your windows 10 OS on. So if you have a lot of things in your recycle bin, it can actually cause a system lag! So make sure you have cleaned your recycle bin as well as make sure your 'C driver' is never full or near full, always keep it around 40 – 50 percent, otherwise it will cause, system lag, unnecessary performance issues and so on. And I think that's pretty much it, so let's go to the next step!

Step number 6, Disk Cleanup.

Disk Cleanup is a feature that available natively on every Windows 10 PC's, it uses to clean Junk file on your system. So let’s get started, Go to start menu and search “This pc or my computer” Now open this pc. And once right click on the system drive or c drive then choose properties, under the general tab you will find the ‘disk cleanup’ option, So click on it. Now select “Downloaded program files, Temporary Internet files, Thumbnails, Temporary files and Recycle bin”. Then click on 'Clean up system files' button. And it will clean all the junk files and free up some disk space. I recommend you to do this to all your local disks, or partitions. You can use the same step to do the process on any other system partitions, so let's jump to the next step!

Step Number 7, Registry Tweak.

In this step we gonna show you how to tweak your Registry to speed up your Windows 10 Performance. Hit windows key + R on your keyboard and launch the run box, now type in 'regedit', then click on OK, and you will see the Registry window. First you will need to go to the ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER’, Now Go to Control Panel, Then click on mouse folder. Now double click on ‘mouse hovertime’ and change its value from 400 to 10, and click on ok. Now go ahead and select the desktop folder, and look for an option called “Menu Show Delay”, once you have found it, double click and change its value from 200 to 10, then click on Ok. Now you have to go to ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE’ then Software folder, then Find Microsoft, now find Windows NT folder, and to the Current Version folder, Now scroll down a little bit and find Multimedia folder, and finally go to System Profile, Now click on system responsiveness, and change the Hexadecimal value to 0 and click OK. Now we need to go to the same ‘System profile folder’ then go to Task and finally go to Game folder, Now you have to open the file GPU Priority, and make sure you have set the Hexadecimal value to 8, then click on OK, Now open priority file and change its Hexadecimal value to 6, then click OK, and that's pretty much it. and you can close the registry editor. Now let's go to the next step!

Step Number 8, Reduce Runtime service.

It’s a great way to achieve even more performance by cutting some of the unwanted services. Let me show you how to do it. First, you gonna need to open the run box by hitting windows key + R Shortcut on your keyboard. Now type in 'msconfig' and click on OK, Now it will open the system configuration window. Once you are here move over to the services tab, and you will see all services which are always active in the background. Before we doing anything with the services, Please check Hide all Microsoft services box, to make sure we’re not messing up anything accidentally. And once you have done that, you can see it’s selected every services other than Microsoft service. So let’s proceed, you can disable them all at once by clicking on the Disable all button, or your cross-checks them and see if is there is anything particularly important for you. Don’t worry you can always restore everything back to default order if you have messed up something accidentally. So once you're ready you can click on the disable all button, now click apply and it will disable all the unwanted services on your Windows 10 PC. And it might ask you for a restart, in that case just give it the permission.

Step Number 9, Reduce Visual Effects.

In this step, we are doing something really crazy to get the maximum performance from your computer and let me warn you, only follow this if you need the extreme level of performance that your windows 10 can ever offer you. And we are achieving this performance boost by reducing the visual effects and your windows 10 UI graphics. May result better performance, but you might find your windows 10 interface less graphically attractive than before, and please note it will not affect your gaming graphics and program graphics quality. If you don’t mind you to have tried it, because if you didn’t like it, you can always set everything back to default, by applying the same things in reverse order. So let start, first you need to go to the start menu, and search This PC, now right click on it, choose properties, and click on “Advanced system settings hyperlink” and you will see a little window. Now on the advanced tab you will find the performance settings, click it and you will see another window with all these options. So go ahead and uncheck every option other than your preference, I’m going to leave the option ‘ Smooth edges of screen fonts and Show shadows under mouse pointer’ untouched. If you have a personal preference like this. I suggest you leave that untouched and uncheck all the other options. And once you have done with that, you can click on apply.

Step number 10, Additional Performance Tips.

In this final step, we gonna show you, everything else that can boost your system performance even in a graphical level. As well as this step is equally useful for both for gamers, or users of graphically demanded software like Premiere, aftereffects and so on. First I will show how to optimize your graphics settings for better graphical performance, it’s both applicable if you're a user of a graphically demanded program like I mentioned earlier or a pc gamer who expecting better frame rates. There are two main graphical powers, Nvidia and AMD. You can optimize your Nvidia control panel settings or AMD Radeon settings for better graphical performance. You may wonder this are mainly title for gaming performance but believe me, it’s the same settings to boost your graphically demanded programs as well. Because we know games them self’s are graphically demanded programs. And you will find links for all those article in the next article as well, so make sure you have check them out. So that’s how we can speed up your windows 10 performance.
