A critical Windows task that can impact updates
Background Intelligent Transfer Service has stopped and not working in Windows 11/10 [FIXED]
Windows Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is an essential component that allows programs to download data and files from the Internet.
Nowadays, applications need the latest updates, new content or configurations. BITS handles network interruptions intelligently, even after a reboot, by pausing and resuming transfers.
The 'intelligence' in BITS also increases or decreases the file transfer rate based on the available idle network bandwidth. The app-specified transfer policies ensure that if a network app is using more bandwidth, the transfer rate is reduced to prevent the files from being transferred on expensive networks.
