Windows 10: Ethernet spike and performance issue

The entire laptop is running slowly. It is new a few months ago, bit a Core i7 processor & 64gB RAM, both of which look ok on the task manager's performance tab. But Ethernet usage is spiking periodically. How can I discover what is causing this?****Original Title: What is hogging my Ethernet in Windows?*******Moved from: Windows/Windows 10/Ease of access

Ethernet connection is spiking, disconnecting and reconnecting


Hi everyone.

I have a problem with my internet connection. First, I've tried a PCI Wi-Fi card and a repeater and nothing change.

My computer have a problem with the internet connection. When I play games like Counter-Strike, I'm spiking and I have some rollback every 5s. Here's a picture of my internet connection in the task manager:



As you can see, I'm spiking alot. Sometimes, my PC disconnect from the router (even when it's wired).

What I tried:
- Recovery
- Flush DNS
- Renew IP
- Uninstall/Install network drivers and adapter
- Uninstall/Install general drivers

And... nothing worked, except one thing:
Fix network connection issues - Windows Help

It's working for like 30 minutes and then I'm spiking and lagging again. I suppose it's a DNS/IP problem. I need to do it again every time I want to play 30 minutes. Anyone have a idea?

Thanks!

PS: When I'm browsing on chrome, I don't see the spike effects, only when I play or skype.

 

CPU spikes and performance lag

I just did all 3 of the things you suggested and nothing has changed. Do you have any other ideas.

Edit: Apparently I didn't do all the things, you suggested me, correctly. I just did them again, like they are supposed to be done, and everything seems to be working appropriately. There are no lag spikes and I think the problem is fixed. Thank you very much for helping me.

 

Cannot connect to ethernet no valid ip configuration

We appreciate the information you've provided. We'd like to confirm the results after following the steps on the link provided on our previous post.

Meanwhile, to isolate your concern, we suggest that you check the following:

• 
  If the Ethernet port is clean.
  
• 
  If the end of RJ45 (Ethernet cord) is still intact.
  
• 
  If available, test the RJ45 (Ethernet cord) to your other device and check if issue persists.
  

We look forward to your reply so we can assist you further.
