Several users over on Reddit have posted about a method to unlock the "Very High" streaming setting in the Xbox app on Windows 10. I searched here, didn't see it posted- so I'd like to share the info here!
I tried this myself and it works as advertised, I'm getting 18mbps streaming quality now, was only around 9mbps before.
Simply open the "userconsoledata" file with Notepad in the Xbox App folder and change IsInternalPreview to true instead of false.
Example:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxApp_~~~~~~\LocalState
[Close your Xbox App before you begin]
Step 1: Open File Explorer, and copy/paste this location:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Packages\
Step 2: Scroll down and open the folder that starts with "Microsoft.XboxApp..."
Step 3: Open the folder LocalState
Step 4: Right click the file called "userconsoledata" and choose Open With.. (select Notepad)
Step 5: Change this:
<IsInternalPreview>false</IsInternalPreview>
into this: <IsInternalPreview>true</IsInternalPreview>
Step 6: Now open the Xbox App, begin streaming- and in the top right of the stream window, click the ((o)) button to select Very High. See the pic below,
