Windows 10: high latency / ping spikes

For around 3 months now I've been encountering high latency and ping spikes online, I've looked at so many questions like this and not a single person has had the same exact problem, there's always been a way to resolve it, I have literally gone to lengths as far as installing a new Wi-Fi router in my home because It really affects my everyday life, from gaming to just browsing online, it happens randomly at no particular time, it used to happen for at least an hour at a time but its seemed to have dropped to like 10 minutes at a time, I'm still really confused, if it's not to do with my PC, n

latency ping

Hello JOHNLEIBNITZER, I am Andrew an independent advisor. What did you ping to get this latency? Is your network wired or wireless?

Latency can come from MANY sources, even outside your house out of your control. The internet provider could have a busy network and cause this latency. We can do some a few things in your control to help but may not improve the latency if its out of your control.
46ms ping is not all that bad actually. For example, my home network is 48ms at this time when pinging google.com.

Open the command prompt and enter ping google.com check the results. To try to help you can type ipconfig /flushdns in the command. Unplug the power from the router and your ISPs modem to reboot them. Then ping google.com again.

If you see no improvement as I said it could very well be out of your control what is causing the latency.

Take Care,

Andrew

Random High Ping Spikes

So, I decided due to other issues I was having, and low storage space to reset my PC. The issue was solved that way, I'm no longer experiencing random ping spikes.
