Additonal comments – NOTE BY ADMIN posted on 09 Jan 2014:
The claim that Windows always reserves a percentage of the available bandwidth for QoS is incorrect. 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. 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, says KB316666.
So what will happen if you change the limit of the reservable bandwidth to zero?
Here is what Microsoft has to say:
The Windows Operating System reserves a fixed percentage of the total Internet bandwidth for the QOS or Quality of Service usage like Windows update, license renewal, etc. Thus, when you limit the Reservable Bandwidth of the operating system to 0, this will definitely affect the operating system activities like Automatic Windows Updates. If a QoS-aware application reserves more bandwidth than it uses, then the unused, reserved bandwidth is available for use by other applications. The reservation does not ensure that the bandwidth will be available to the QoS-aware application because applications that are not QoS-aware might consume too much bandwidth.

Hi,
Thanks for all these useful tips,
a,To get rid of trojan, instead of antivirus products, use MALWAREBYTES application.
b,Dont use web security in antivirus it will slow down the internet
c.Remove extensions in browsers
d.Remove unnecessary applications
e.Use Comodo Dragon broswer instead of Chrome.
f.Uncheck all protocols except IP4 in LAN>TCP Properties (Uncheck ip6 also)
Yep really went well but have a few modifications on windows 10. The command int TCP is not recognise in windows 10, instead for e.g. type set global chimney=enabled will go rather than netsh int TCP set global chimney=enabled in windows 10.. Thanks for the tut and I am looking forward to more of this from you
