Some services that are running in the background include <\/span>Stream<\/b> gaming service, <\/span>Torrent<\/b>, <\/span>Antivirus<\/b> services, <\/span>Internet<\/b> security services and cloud sharing apps. Combined together, they are consuming a lot of bandwidth. Therefore, it is always a wise choice to disable all of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can disable them from auto starting as well. Simply press <\/span>Windows Key<\/b><\/span> + <\/span>R<\/b><\/span> and then type <\/span>msconfig<\/b><\/span> in the <\/span>Run<\/b> console window that just opened.

Disable Large Send Offload V2 (IPv4)<\/b><\/h2>\n

Large Send Offload V2<\/b> is a feature of <\/span>Windows 10<\/b>, which is available on both <\/span>IPv4<\/b> and <\/span>IPv6<\/b> connections.

Open up the <\/span>Device Manager<\/b>.
