Here's how to Run Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) Troubleshooter in Get Help app on Windows.

FYI: Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is a Windows service that is responsible for transferring files (such as updates or software installations) between computers over a network. It uses idle network bandwidth to transfer files in the background without interrupting other network activities.

BITS is designed to handle various network environments, including low bandwidth and intermittent connectivity, by using the available network bandwidth effectively. It also allows for resumable file transfers in case of a network interruption, which can save time and bandwidth when transferring large files.

BITS is used by various Windows features, such as Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), and Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), to download and distribute updates and software packages.

BITS can be controlled and configured through the Windows Services console or Group Policy settings. You can start, stop, or restart the BITS service as needed to troubleshoot issues related to file transfers or to free up system resources.
