The Limit the maximum number of BITS jobs for this computer machine setting should be configured correctly.
This policy setting limits the number of BITS jobs that can be created for all users of the computer. By default, BITS limits the total number of jobs that can be created on the computer to 300 jobs. You can use this setting to raise or lower the maximum number of user BITS jobs. If you enable this setting, BITS will limit the maximum number of BITS jobs to the specified number. If you disable or do not configure this setting, BITS will use the default BITS job limit of 300 jobs.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)\Limit the maximum number of BITS jobs for this computer
(2) KEY: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\BITS\MaxJobsPerMachine
