Do heavy files get something like a sudden download stop?
Network packet loss.
my PC and wifi run fine normally, i have 200mbps and it get downloads fast. there is only 1 thing wrong and thats why im here to seek help.
randomly in about 2 minute intervals (but still random just not frequent) i get complete inbound packet loss.
so if im downloading something it will fail then i restart and it resumes just fine.
OR
if im in a game lobby everyone stops moving and i can walk around then it catches back up and everyone teleports.
screenshot included of my task manager with the error happening. : https://imgur.com/a/9FWADOw

My name is Caio and I'll be happy to help you today =)
Are you using a wired or wireless connection? Try updating your network card drivers:
> Search for
Device Manageron your Windows search bar and open it> On the window that pops up, expand
Network adapters> Right-click your network card and then click on
Update driver(if it has two, one for Ethernet and one for Wireless, update both)> Proceed with the update following the instructions on the screen
> Reboot your PC
> Check if the issue persists
I hope this helps you! Please let me know if I can assist you more.
Best regards,
Caio G.
