"Windows Reserved Bandwidth" is just a QoS Packet Scheduler. The Linux Kernel has this too. Equally difficult to disable on any system, because its assumed you will want to be able to download a file and surf the web at the same time. You can turn it off I guess, if quality of service isn't your vibe.

It's always funny seeing users doing their cargo cult dances when troubleshooting stuff

Shocked Pikachu face when other stuff starts breaking because you 'optimised' 500 settings

Do we know for a fact that the Windows marketing telemetry does not use any of this reserved bandwidth? Or are we just taking the vendor's word for that?

I asked because 'reserving' is different than 'prioritizing'. Generally speaking, a QoS prioritizes, where what's being described by the title is reserving.

Microsoft: [implements a common OS feature]

You: But can you prove it's not malware?

That's just tinfoil hat paranoia.

Based on what they did with Win10 and 11, not paranoia at all.
