Windows 10: File sharing between two computers speed is limited.

Alright. So I've gone through 2 or 3 hours of troubleshooting now. I'm using the basic sharing system embedded in windows 10 to share files between my main computer and a PC I set up across the house for backups.


Both are capable of gigabit speeds and connected through Cat6A cable. Both are connected to the same gigabit network, and even the same gigabit switch. Both get gigabit speeds to the greater internet, and IPerf states that they can connect to each other through gigabit speeds.


The drives are both capable of well in excess of gigabit speeds, as testing shows they're sitting at 200-210 MB/s, which is about 1.6 Gb/s. Transferring the same files between different drives on the same system has them going at 200MB/s, but trying to transfer the files through the built-in sharing system puts them anywhere from 12.5MB/s to 16MB/s, which is well beneath gigabit, and is annoyingly slow when you're backing up 6TB of data.


I've tried disabling offloading of all protocols, disabling LSO, disabling auto-tuning, and forcing the computers to use 1000Mb full duplex setting. I've basically ruled out it being the network, the hardware, or the files, and all that I am left with is that windows either has a setting somewhere or is arbitrarily limiting the file transfer speed.


Anyone have any ideas?

Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

Here's a quick laundry list:

List of software to use for overclocking and testing
Examples:
Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

Windows 7 File Sharing between computers, PROBLEMS!!

Just do a file transfer in explorer from one computer to the other and see what speed you get. I would suggest avoiding homegroup and using a proper network setup instead.

 

Windows 10 Pro Internet Speed Limitation?

Hi guys.
I've had to mark this as unresolved and bring it back up as the issue has returned. I am not sure what it is that is causing this as I haven't installed any program that would limit, manage/handle bandwidth usage.
Below are a few screenshots of my Programs and Features list and the list of Windows Updates:








To also note; I have done a few speedtests and the result is the same as before I reinstalled Windows. (100-144Mbps) After reinstalling, for a few weeks I was getting my full speed. (380Mbps) Then it suddenly capped. My iPhone XR (being connected to my 5GHz WiFi network) gets the full speed.

I have also redone the "tweaks" for trying to remove the limitation as in tutorials on Google. No help. None of these "fixes" actually work. That is to say; updating my network card driver (in this case my TP-Link TG-3468 Gigabit Ethernet PCI card), using Command Prompt with the few commands suggested to use, GPEdit.msc, etc. None of these work. Windows 10 is still limiting/capping my Internet and it is beyond frustrating. Delivery Optimization is also disabled and Limit Reservable Bandwidth in QoS Packet Scheduler is set to 0%.

I should also note that my Private Internet Access VPN is disabled.

Update: Typing this into an elevated command prompt seemed to allow me to use more of my speed, but not 350Mbps+.

I'm assuming it is peak times at the moment.
