Hi Jessica, The best way to speed up a Windows OS is to uninstall junk from it. Go to the section where you can uninstall programs and Windows features and uninstall the ones which are useless to you. Another way is to empty your Internet cache and those files left by old programs. A good application for this is ccleaner Also, visit my freeware section (www.webtlk.com/tag/freeware/) and look for utilities to speed up your PC. By the way, a good trick to make your machine faster is to turn off Windows Aero theme and defrag (again, visit the freeware section) your Windows regularly. Cheers

Jorge and Edward-you need full admin rights in your command prompt window. When you open command prompt window, rt. click on it and select open as administrator. You should be fine from there.

I had the same result as William Southall : “set global command failed on IPv4. The requested operation requires elevation”…
Could you please give me a hand with this …. I really don’t understand what it means.
Thanks.

Exactly, William. If you have a dial-up connection, this trick won’t turn it to a DSL connection!

Cheers for this tweak,Web Talk it has made my internet connection a damn sight faster.

I suppose this tweak would also depend on how much bandwidth you have with your internet service provider?

The article:- How to Speed up Vista Internet Connection
This does not work on my computer.
After typing in :-
netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled
I get the message-
Global Command failed on IPv4
requires elevation

Hello and thanks for your question!
Apparently, some computer takes another parameter. Try “normal” instead of “enabled”. Your issue has been reported with the autotuning parameter only, as far as I can see. So here is the working command:

netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=normal
or
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

As far as the other commands, the ones reported in the article should still work, otherwise replace enabled with normal
