Windows 10: Download speeds capped only in certain programs

I have 15MB/sec download speed, but I never actually seen it go that high until I downloaded some games from the Microsoft Store.


When I'm using a torrent program, Steam/etc, or downloading within my internet browsers (all with no bandwidth restrictions in the options), the rate seems to be capped around 2MB/sec.


Am I missing an option something that's capping download speeds except with Microsoft programs/etc?

Slow Download Speed

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft forums.

• I would suggest you to test the speed using any of the speed test website or app to confirm the upload and download speed.
• I also suggest you to reset the wireless router to check if that helps.
  
• You may plug in the Ethernet cable if available and check the speed.
  

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you
