Turn off the network limit for multimedia

OptionalNeeds administrator rights

Windows limits network packet processing while sound or video plays. The tweak removes this limit.

Expected effect

May help with high network speeds during media playback. In-game ping usually does not change.

Possible side effects

Slightly higher CPU load with an active network.

What exactly changes

Registry key	Value	Type	New value
`HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile`	`NetworkThrottlingIndex`	DWord	`0xFFFFFFFF`

How to undo it

Before a change NyxBoost saves the previous values; "Revert" brings them back and removes those that did not exist before.

In NyxBoost: Recovery → “Revert” next to this setting's entry.
Without the program: open the Registry Editor (regedit), go to the key from the table and put back the previous value — NyxBoost records it in its change history.

How NyxBoost checks the result

After applying, NyxBoost reads the values again and compares them with the expected ones. To see the real effect on your PC, use FPS Lab: it measures the same game before and after.
