Windows 10 Upgrade degraded my download speed. Help
Hi everyone!
I've recently had the courage to upgrade my windows software from windows 8.1 to windows 10 but it has been causing me a lot of issues lately. My internet is extremely fast but my downloads seem to take over an hours just to download files sizes at around 300 mb? I'm extremely confused and the system lags a lot. Just attempting to save a picture onto my desktop lags the system a little. I have attached an image of my internet speed.
However, when I'm actually downloading a software, the speed is at 406kb/s and sometimes even lower.
I am a video editor and I need to run heavy file sizes on my system but ever since I've upgraded, windows 10 has been so undependable lately that I'm afraid I might not be able to carry out my work in the future.
Here are my device specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600k CPU @ 3.50GHz 3.50GHz
RAM: 16.0 GB
System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Edition: Windows 10 Pro
Version: 1809
System specs:
(I can't remember a lot cause I built it 2 years ago based on a Youtube channel)
Motherboard: Asus Z170 ProGaming
Graphics: MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 (Version 399.24)
SSD: Samsung EVO 256GB
I've tried to clear disk space on my SSD, I've tried to speed up my cpu by clearing temporary caches. Any advise for me will be appreciated. I am an extreme noob so please be basic about your instructions if possible. Thank you!
