Windows 10 Update caused slow internet speed? Is it possible to allow Windows 10 to download its updates, but at a reduced bandwidth? With the release of Windows 10 April 2018 Update, Microsoft brought the feature for users to limit the Windows Update bandwidth. Here we’ll show you how to set a bandwidth limit for foreground (or background) downloads of Windows updates in Windows 10.<\/p>\n

Method 1: Limit Windows Update Bandwidth from Settings App<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open the Settings app<\/a> and click Update & Security<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  2. On the right, click Advanced options<\/strong> at the bottom.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  3. On the next screen, click Delivery Optimization<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  4. On the Delivery Optimization page, click Advanced options<\/strong> at the bottom.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  5. Under the Download settings<\/strong> section on the right, check the “Limit how much bandwidth is used for downloading updates in the foreground<\/strong>” option. Use the slider to set the limit for foreground bandwidth.\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \tSimilarly, you can choose the “Limit how much bandwidth is used for downloading updates in the background<\/strong>” option to control the bandwidth of Windows Update’s background downloads.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Method 2: Limit Windows Update Bandwidth Using Group Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open the Local Group Policy Editor<\/a> and navigate to: Computer Configuration<\/em> > Administrative Templates<\/em> > Windows Components<\/em> > Delivery Optimization<\/em>, then double-click the “Maximum Foreground Download Bandwidth (percentage)<\/strong>” policy on the right side.\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      \tIf you want to limit the bandwidth of Windows Update’s background downloads, double-click the similar policy “Maximum Background Download Bandwidth (percentage)<\/strong>” instead.<\/li>\n

    2. Select the Enabled<\/strong> option, and then set how much percentage of bandwidth you want to allocate to Windows Update’s foreground downloads.\n

      \"\"\n<\/li>\n

    3. Click OK<\/strong> and restart Windows 10. Note: After applying this group policy, you’ll be unable to change the bandwidth limit for Windows Update from the Settings app.\n

      \"\"\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
