🚀 The Secret Trick to Faster Internet on Windows
The setting that "eats" speed without you knowing it – and how to disable it in 2 minutes
Are you paying for fast Internet but feel like it's dragging? 😤 Are pages opening slowly, downloads getting stuck and online gaming experiencing lag for no reason?
The problem is not always the provider. Very often, Windows itself uses your connection in the background for updates and sending data.
👉 The result? Lower speed for you, through no fault of your own.
The solution is simple, free and requires no technical knowledge. You will see a difference immediately.
🔥The Secret Behind Windows
Function Delivery Optimization allows Windows to download and upload updates using your own connection.
Simply put: Your computer may be "sharing" updates with other computers, consuming speed without you knowing it.
📊 Where Does the Problem Appear in Everyday Life?
- Slow opening of web pages
- Delays in game and file downloads
- Lag and high ping in online games
- Netflix, YouTube and Twitch crashes
- Problems with video calls (Teams, Zoom, Messenger)
⚠️ Important: This feature only makes sense in corporate networks. At home, it usually reduces speed for no reason.
️How to Disable It (Step by Step)
Start → Settings (gear)
From the left menu
"Allow downloads from other PCs"
✅ Ready! From now on, your connection is used only by you.
💡 Tip: If you have multiple computers at home, you can leave the setting active only for the local network.
⚡Extra Boost: Make the Internet "Respond" Faster
The DNS over HTTPS It helps pages open faster and protects your connection from eavesdropping.

🌐 Recommended DNS
🧹Bonus: Clear the DNS Cache
A simple step that often solves problems with lag and "stuck" pages.
💡 When does it help: After a DNS change or when pages are slow for no apparent reason.
(I.e. When is the provider at fault and when is Windows at fault?
Before blaming your provider or router, it's worth checking if the problem starts with Windows. Many times the delay is due to computer settings and not the connection.
🖥️ When is Windows to blame?
- When the Internet is slow only on the computer, but not on the mobile
- When lag only appears in computer games
- When downloads get stuck for no reason
- When the problem starts after a Windows update
- When Wi-Fi shows full signal but speed is slow
Advice: If you disable Delivery Optimization and see an immediate improvement, then the problem was Windows.
🌐 When is the provider at fault?
- When all the devices in the house have slow Internet
- When the router needs to be rebooted frequently
- When the speed is slow even with an Ethernet cable
- When the speedtest shows much lower speed than what you pay for
- When there are line interruptions or high jitter
⚠️ If you see low speed on all devices: then the problem is almost certainly with the provider or router.
🔧 How to make a quick diagnosis
- Do a speedtest from your mobile and computer
- Try with an Ethernet cable
- Restart the router.
- See if the problem occurs at certain times (indicating network overload)
- Try another device to block Windows
💡 If the problem only occurs on Windows: then the solution lies in the settings we explained above.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
👉 Why is my Internet slow even though I have a good package?
Often it's not the provider's fault. Windows may be using the connection in the background (e.g. Delivery Optimization), reducing the speed that reaches you.
👉 Is Delivery Optimization dangerous?
No, it's not dangerous. It just uses up some of your speed to distribute updates to other computers. It doesn't offer anything useful at home, so it's best to disable it.
👉 Will I see a real difference in speed?
Yes. Most users see faster browsing, less lag, and more stable ping in online games within minutes.
👉 Is DNS over HTTPS secure?
It's more secure than classic DNS because it encrypts your searches. Plus, it helps pages open faster.
👉 Should I change DNS often?
No. Just choose a reliable DNS (Cloudflare or Google) and leave it permanently. If you change DNS, it is a good idea to do a flushdns for a clean start.
👉 Is there anything else I can do to improve speed?
Yes — check your Wi-Fi, change the channel on your router, use an Ethernet cable for gaming, and avoid old powerline adapters that reduce speed.
🎯 Conclusion
No need for a new router or a more expensive Internet plan. A few simple settings are enough to see a difference.
