Disable Throttling on SharePoint List using PowerShell

Throttling feature helps to avoid performance hits in SharePoint. We set throttling limits for entire web application. Its not possible to set throttling limits on specific SharePoint list or library. But we can disable/enable throttling on SharePoint lists.

PowerShell to disable list throttling:
Use the below script to disable list throttling in SharePoint 2010 using PowerShell

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

#Variables for Site URL and List Name
$WebURL = "http://sales.crescent.com"
$ListName = "Proposal Documents"

#Get the Site and List objects
$web = Get-SPWeb $WebURL
$List = $Web.Lists[$ListName]

#Disable throttling on the list
$list.EnableThrottling = $false
$List.Update()
