Hobow20_ Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Kaspersky Version: Plus, 21.15.8.493 (a) Operating System: Windows 11 Core x64 Build 22635 Issue: I have a limited home network speed due to issues out of my control (15-19Mbps Up, ~3Mbps Down). Recently, I've been gaming on my system with Kaspersky running on it. I often encounter issues in the game with high latency and bandwidth use. Using a network activity tracker, Glasswire, I've concluded that Kaspersky Lab Launcher is frequently using a sizeable portion of my available bandwidth whilst I'm gaming. I have game mode enabled which I assume is running whilst I'm in the game, but it's still using more bandwidth than I'd like. Are there any ways I can lower this network use? Thanks in Advance.

Guilhermesene4096 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) @Hobow20_Welcome back! Please check that the "Limit traffic on metered connections" box is properly checked. When the box is checked, Kaspersky limits internet bandwidth usage.

It's my home network so it's technically not a metered connection, and if I tell Windows that my home network IS a metered connection, it'll stop other background tasks that I need to keep running. Is there a way I can tell Kaspersky to treat my connection as metered even though it's not marked as such in Windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilhermesene4096 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 @Hobow20_ 1 - Well, there is no need to limit your network through Windows because it could affect all other processes. 2 - As I instructed you, when the box inside Kaspersky is checked, Kaspersky will treat the connection (between itself and the network - not Windows) as limited, which will reduce network traffic just between Kaspersky and your computer. 3 - You can try restoring Kaspersky to default settings to restore any incorrect settings. Spoiler Open the Kaspersky graphical interface Click on the gear symbol (configuration) in the lower left-hand side of the window Click → Manage settings Click → Restore Click → Next Confirm the operation (if necessary, enter the Kaspersky unlock password) Click → Done Restart your device (important) 4 - If the problem still persists, please contact technical support → Technical Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
