You have a laptop with a good internet connection. Your connectivity speed may be 1 – 3 Mbps but still you will feel that internet or download speed is low . All you need is to know this first . Your Windows OS (XP , Vista , 7 and 8) has an allocated speed of 20 to 50 % from your Internet connection for Windows Update and other services.
This 20% will look smaller but this will affect the internet speed of your PC or laptop . To disable or delete the allocated speed we have a good old technique. For this follow the steps listed below. Also , deleting or removing this allocation will not affect Windows Update or other services connected to it.
Following methods are applicable for Windows OS only.
