How to remove OneDrive download limit grey out
Its very frustrating my organization IT who set a group policy to limit download sync and cause the cloud service unusable. However, after studied that on my local machine has download group policy from my organization domain, I find that is possible to hack and overwrite it so long it meets my goal.
If you have admin rights to your PC, you can change it easily via registry editor.
Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive\DownloadBandwidthLimit and change the value.
Without admin rights
IF you do not have admin rights, then you have to RUN registry editor as ADMINISTRATOR. Normally group IT will setup PC by using .\admin or .\administrator without password.
Take note that the registry path render differently if it run under administrator rights.
Then in the editor, Find (Ctrl + F) DownloadBandwidthLimit until it reach to a path of OneDrive. My case here is a path that inside a user. Its not very hard to recognize the strings of path its self explanatory.
After changing the value, restart OneDrive app. Here we successfully change download rate.
