    Slow Wired Internet in Windows 10 (Not the case in Ubuntu)


    Posted this on Reddit yesterday to no avail unfortunately.

    I am currently having internet issues on my desktop setup with a Asus Strix B350-F mobo, running Windows 10 (ver. 1909) on a wired internet connection. I also have the latest Intel gigabit ethernet drivers.

    I am subscribed to Shaw's internet 600 plan but I am only getting ~178 down on Ookla speedtest. For comparison I am getting ~360 down on my iPhone 8. I even ran Ubuntu (20.04 LTS) off a live USB (same computer), and I got up to 466 down.

    What are some steps I could take to troubleshoot the issue? I have attached a screenshot of my network processes (I usually don't run Google Play Music player and it made no difference after I closed it) to show what is going on.

    Thank you in advance!

    Open a Elevated Command Prompt:

    Press Win key, type cmd. Right click on cmd.exe at top left and select Run as Administrator.

    Paste the following into the Command Prompt window, exactly as shown, including double quotes:

    cmd /c "ipconfig /all > postme.txt & ping yahoo.com >> postme.txt & reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" | find /i "proxy" >> postme.txt & notepad postme.txt & del postme.txt"

    and press ENTER.

    A file will open in Notepad. Please copy and paste the contents here. Please don't redact anything as there is nothing in there that is a security breach. Close the Notepad window and the file will be deleted and the Command Prompt window will also close. Post results in a reply here.

    Hey guys, I solved the issue by enabling Windows Auto-Tuning, instructions for which can be found here: Window Auto-Tuning in Windows 10 - Should you disable it or not?
