This policy setting determines the percentage of connection bandwidth that the system can reserve.
This value limits the combined bandwidth reservations of all programs running on the system. By
default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 80 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but
you can use this setting to override the default. If you enable this setting, you can use the
Bandwidth limit box to adjust the amount of bandwidth the system can reserve. If you disable this
setting or do not configure it, the system uses the default value of 80 percent of the connection. If a
bandwidth limit is set for a particular network adapter in the registry, this setting is ignored when
configuring that network adapter. (Go to gpedit.msc)
4. Now, in the above shown window, select Enabled and in the Options section; you could input the
percentage for limiting the bandwidth. If you input 0 percent here, you can gain the reserved
bandwidth reserved by the system. UPDATE: Do read the note below.
Click Apply followed by OK then. You may now close the Local Group Policy Editor and reboot the
system with gained bandwidth.
If your version of Windows does not ship with Gpedit, then you may open Regedit and navigate to
the following registry key:

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.
