Windows 10: Fast upload speed but very slow download speed on a single device

For the past two days the download speed on my desktop wired connection has totally tanked. My upload speed has taken a slowdown as well, but not nearly to the degree of the download. Every other device I use has perfectly fine internet speed. I've unplugged the Ethernet adapter and replugged it and nothing seemed to help solve the issue so far.

Super fast download speeds but Really slow upload speeds

Hi Team,

I have been having a really annoying issue, I get really fast download speeds and upload speeds on all my devices except on my main PC the download speeds are fine, but the upload speed is 1mbps. it's been like this for a few months I've tried a lot.

At first, I thought it was the isp however I've checked with several other devices and come to the conclusion that it has to do with a setting with Windows as the problem persists with an ethernet cable or Wifi with the same speeds.

I've attempted to use the fixes in the link below but made it worse, I managed to reverse the settings and really lost with what to do.

Slow download speed fast upload on Ethernet.

Hi

If a website has a slow server, a fast internet connection may be experienced but may have very slow download speeds. Download speed will be affected with the website server as it also impact your internet connection speed.

You may try a test with other websites and check the results with the website that you are experiencing slow download speed.

Meanwhile, kindly click on this link and find the post created by Santos_Rai

slow upload speed

I'm embarrassed I didn't think of plugging the ethernet into another computer. Anyway, the result is that the speed on a laptop with the same cable is 91 Mbps download, 39 Mbps upload.
A couple of other puzzles: One is that the download speed on my desktop was around 900 Mbps, which is insanely fast, but the upload speed was under .2 Mbps. Now, after going through several of these iterations of remedies, the upload speed is still extremely slow, but the download speed is now around 32 Mbps, which is about 4% of what it was. But to my surprise, with a download speed of around 30, I don't notice too much difference for what I do. Anyway, awaiting your next suggestion.

With regard to re-installing Windows 10, even with keep my files this seems to be way over the top, as it removes apps and drivers. I find that a bit terrifying.
