End Network-Intensive Processes

Open up your task manager and navigate to your resource monitor. In the Network tab, open the Processes with network activity, and after a few seconds, you will see every process using your network connection. This might be your browser running in the background, Steam or a download bottlenecking your connection. We suggest you only end the processes you know won't break your operating system.
