Data usage by ntoskrnl

Question

So I try to play league of legends and out of nowhere my game starts lagging, high ping for a very long time . So I open task manager and see that ntoskrnl.exe System is using my network. This has been going for more than a month and I've tried so many things to resolve it :changed something with my virtual memory, ran a windows defender scan both a full scan and an offline one, turned off all background services beside Microsoft ones, and i cant seem to find a solution. everything is updated and the problem comes and goes at very random times and stop on its own.

Sorry if it didn't help.

I will suggest that you perform a repair/in-place upgrade to fix the system.

Follow the instructions below.

A. Downloading the Windows 10 ISO file.

4. Select the language, edition, and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit) for Windows 10. (Select the same as the currently installed system on your PC)
5. In "Select which media you want to use", Select ISO file then click Next.
6. Select the download location then click Save.
7. Windows 10 ISO file will be downloaded,

B. Repair Upgrade installation.

1. Right-click Windows 10 ISO file and click Mount.
2. Open/run the Setup.exe.

4. To get important updates, select Download and install updates. (Wait while checking for updates).
