bandwidth control

Bandwidth control on Windows often involves managing Delivery Optimization, Microsoft's peer-assisted update system that can upload cached update data from your PC to other devices on your local network or the internet. This feature aims to reduce bandwidth use and improve update reliability, but many users prefer to limit or disable uploads to preserve their own bandwidth. Windows provides settings to restrict Delivery Optimization to local network only or turn it off entirely. Additionally, third-party network drivers like the Killer Suite offer bandwidth control features for managing network traffic. These topics cover practical steps for users who want more control over how Windows uses their internet connection.
