    Hi, Einstien

    My name is Aracely, I am an Independent Advisor. I would love to help you today.

    Try to repair your internet connection.

    Click Start and type "cmd".

    • Right click on Command Prompt and run it as administrator.
    • Copy and paste the following line one at a time, pressing enter each time:

    netsh winsock reset - and press Enter.

    netsh int ip reset - and press Enter.

    ipconfig / release - and press Enter.

    ipconfig / renew - and press Enter.

    ipconfig / flushdns - and press Enter

    You can also try to reset your DNS service with the following steps:

    • Press the Windows key + R and type "services.msc" and press OK.
    • Scroll down to find the DNS client.
    • Right click on it and click Restart.

    You can also follow these steps: from the Start menu or by pressing the Win + I key combination, open the Settings and click on the Network and Internet option. Once there, we select the Status option from the menu on the left side and, within the configurations and options that are loaded in the right panel, we have to look for the restoration of the network.

    When you click on this option, it will show us a new window from where we can restore the network in Windows 10. In this way, all network adapters will be removed and reinstalled, and the original configuration of other network components will be restored . net. This implies that if we were using some software such as a VPN client or virtual switches, we will have to reinstall them.

    A process that the system performs automatically by clicking on the Reset button that is now displayed in Network Reset in the Windows 10 configuration. It is normal for the process to not take long, although we must wait until the end completely and restart the computer to continue with the network configuration in Windows 10 as we have done so far.

    Let me know if the information has been helpful in solving your problem.

    Hello, 

    Please run Network Adapter troubleshooter from Settings app > Update & security > Troubleshoot. See if it helps you.

    Also check other suggestions provided here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10741/windows-fix-network-connection-issues

    If issue still persists, try to perform Network Reset:

    1. Open Settings app, click Network & Internet > Status > Network reset link.
    2. Now click on Reset button on next screen.
    3. In confirmation prompt appearing next, click Yes.

    If you continue to face the issue, then it may be issue at the end of your network provider. So contact your ISP and ask them for resolution.

    Hope this helps!

    Odd that no one seems to have noticed that you are experiencing the exact opposite of what you should be.

    In other words, upload speed is ALWAYS slower than download.

    For example, I have a fairly slow Internet Connection compared to yours yet my Download Speed is blindingly fast compared to the upload speed:

    CenturyLink's free on-line speed test is reasonably accurate and a good way to judge your server's performance. Whether you use their service or another. Or so I have found over the years, anyway. You can find it HERE

    So I STILL say you should call your ISP and ask them why.

    Incidentally I am using Windows 10 also.

    Hi Einstein

    I am an independent advisor here to help

    I would work through the following steps offered by AngelCarreno in the thread linked below

    1. Close the Peer to Peer Update Process on Your PC to Fix Slow Internet after Windows 10 Update
      Shut down the peer to peer update process on your PC. That is to say, you need to close the channel which you can download applications and system updates from other PC’s connected to the server since it limits your internet bandwidth seeding to other users.

    Step 1. Click Start menu and then type Settings to open it.

    Step 2. Select “Update and Security“.

    Step 3. Click the “Advanced Options” tab.

    Step 4. Click the option “Choose How Updates are Delivered".

    Step 5. Turn off the On button.

    1. Adjust the Internet Bandwidth Settings
      Since windows 10, by default, reserves 20% of the internet bandwidth for the system applications and its operating system, you can’t browse or surf on the internet with 100% internet connection. This solution speeds up the dropping internet speed by trimming down the bandwidth which is reserved for Windows 10 and system applications. Follow the step-by-step guide to tackle slow internet after Windows 10 Update.

    Step 1. Press Windows shortcut keys Win + R to open Run dialog box.

    Step 2. Type gpedit.msc and then hit OK.

    Step 3. Give permissions. A pop-up window will open with title of Group Policy.

    Step 4. Click on Computer Configuration on the right side of the window.

    Step 5. Navigate to: Administrative Templates -> Network – > Qos Packet Scheduler – > Limit reservable bandwidth.

    Step 6. Click on Enable.

    Step 7. Change the Value from 20 to 0.

    Step 8. Apply and then click OK.

    1. Disable Window Auto-Tuning
      Window Auto-Tuning which is enabled by default improves performance for programs by receiving TCP data over a network. Slower internet speed after Windows 10 Update could hit your computer when Window Auto-Tuning feature is “ON”. While luckily, you can disable Windows Auto-Tuning level to improve the internet speed for the Windows 10 update. Use administrator privileges to process the following steps.

    Step 1. Press Win + X and then select Command Prompt (Admin).

    Step 2. Type the command netsh interface tcp show global in the window.

    Step 3. Check for Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level and if it is normal, you will need to disable it.

    Step 4. Type the command netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled to disable it.

    You can perform an internet speed test to see whether those adjustments improve your internet speed or not. If not, you can re-enable the Window Auto-Tuning level by typing the command netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal in the Command Prompt (Admin).

    Contact your Internet Service Provider and ask them why, Windows has no control over your Internet Speeds.
