    Hi FinnBrader,

    Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

    Try this steps to troubleshoot the issue.

    Method 1: Disable Peer to Peer Update

    • On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and R at the same time, then type control update in the box and press Enter.
    • Click Advanced options.
    • Click Delivery Optimization(or Choose how updates are delivered depending on the build of your Windows 10).
    • Turn the Allow downloads from other PCs(Or Update from more than one place) toggle Off.
    • Check if the Windows 10 slow Internet issue has been fixed. If yes, then great! But if the problem persists, move on to Fix 2, below.

    Method 2: Adjust the Internet Bandwidth Settings

    • On your keyboard, press Ctrl, Shift and Esc at the same time to open Task Manager.
    • Click File > Run new task.
    • Copy & paste gpedit.msc into the box, tick the box before Create this task with administrative privileges and click OK.
    • Under Computer Configuration, double-click on Administrative Templates > Network > QoS Packet Scheduler. Then double-click on Limit reservable bandwidth.
    • Click the Enabled option and set Bandwidth limit (%) value to 0. Then click Apply > OK.

    Method 3: Update your WiFi drivers

    • In the search box on the taskbar, enter device manager, then select Device Manager.
    • Select a category to see names of devices, then right-click (or press and hold) the

    one you’d like to update.

    • Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
    • Select Update Driver.
    • If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

    Method 4: Disable Windows Auto-Tuning

    • On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and type cmd. Then right click on Command Prompt and click Run as administrator.
    • Click Yes when prompted to confirm.
    • Copy & paste netsh interface tcp show global into the window and press Enter. Then check if Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level is set to normal.
    • If yes, you’ll have to copy & paste netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled into the window and press Enter to disable it.

    Method 5: Disable Large Send Offload

    • On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and R at the same time, then type devmgmt.msc into the box and press Enter.
    • Double-click on Network adapters > your network adapter.
    • Click the Advanced tab, then click Large Send Offload V2 (IPv4) and set the value to Disabled.
    • Click Large Send Offload V2 (IPv6) and set the value to Disabled. Then click OK.

    Hope it helps.

    FinnBrader,

    I can't know what network commands you used if you don't specify it clearly ...

    Try to reset the network: Settings> Network and Internet> Status, click Network Reset on the right side, follow the instructions, otherwise try to temporarily uninstall any third party Firewall / Antivirus or VPN software and try again. If the problem persists, uninstall any network optimization software, such as (SmartByte, Killer Network Manager, Rivet Dynamic Bandwidth Management, Dragon Bandwidth Controller etc.). Uninstall any utility from the PC manufacturer for network management. If necessary, try running and keeping a clean boot:

    Hi FinnBrader,

    Which build is running on your PC? If you don't know, type winver in the search box.

    Is it a desktop PC or laptop? Are the PC and router located on the same floor of the house or are they far apart?

    Open CMD or PowerShell (administrator), type the following commands and hit enter at the end of each command:

    ipconfig / flushdns

    nbtstat -R

    nbtstat -RR

    netsh int ipv4 reset

    netsh int ipv6 reset

    netsh winsock reset

    Restart your PC at the end of all the commands.

    thanks for replying

    for your first question it is version 1903/build 18632.592

    gor your 2nd question it its a PC not a laptop

    and 3 its on the same floor spereated by one room

    also i have tried those commsnds before that is what is what i meant by "running a few commands in the command prompt section"
