Windows 10: Constant Internet Spikes

Hello, about 5-6 months ago I randomly received constant spiking and it has been a problem ever since. I constantly get very high spikes and it is so bad that I can barely play anything. My internet is pretty good and my actual ping in games is also good I average around 25-50 and on internet speed tests I get around 100 Download sleep and 60 upload speed but however, every time I am playing a game it spikes constantly to over 1k ping.

Windows 10 - Constant Ping Spikes Every 5 seconds





For months now my Windows 10 CyberPower PC (purchased in 2021) has experienced intermittent ping spikes that disrupts video calls, hangs webpages, and make online gaming impossible. I have replaced the modem, router, wifi adapter, and had the cable lines inspected by a tech. The issue persists.

The spikes seem to occur at random but I can also trigger them by going to a webpage that asks to use my location (via browser). Upon agreeing, the lag spikes begin and persist, sometimes even after closing the browser and restarting. Other times, just playing online games seems to trigger the spikes.

Below is a list of what I've already tried. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated bc this causing me no end of headaches.

Right click CMD
Click Run as administrator

At the command prompt, type each command then hit Enter:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
NETSH winsock reset catalog

When complete, restart to see if the problem is resolved.

If that does not work

Press Windows key + X
Click Device Manager
Expand Network Adapters
Select the Network card listed,
Select Update Driver
This should give you a choice of drivers - select the oldest one
Wait a few minutes while it installs the old driver

or

press Windows key + X
Click Device Manager
Expand Network adapters
Right click your adapter
Click Uninstall

Exit Device Manager, restart. Windows 10 should detect the network adapter then reinstall it. Check if you can connect and browse.

also try:

Open Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Status

Scroll to the bottom then click Network reset.

Click Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Manage known networks > select the wireless network
Click Forget

Restart

Try connecting again.
