Windows 10: Large increase in network latency after latest update (11/14/2018)

After the latest update (today, Nov 14 2018) my network latency seems to have gone through the roof. I am a composer and music producer who uses several computers to run virtual instruments that send audio data over my LAN. The machines had been running fine but they did an update today and when I rebooted I no longer had clean audio transfers - there are all kinds of crackles and pops in the audio.

So:

1. How do I fix this problem?
2. Is there any way to completely disable the automatic updates? (Yes, I do the "delay" updates thing).

This is causing me a lot of lost productivity. And the system worked fine before the update, so odds are extremely high it was the update that caused the problem. Back in the XP days I was able to choose when (and if) to update, so I could do it during slow-downs when I had time to adapt if a problem arose. I am extremely annoyed that I no longer have that option. But I digress...

Thanks in advance,



:)

 

Network latency

My system is a i5-3570k @4.1Ghz on an Asrock Z77. Not sure if that qualifies as old or not. The NAS is a Synology DS1515+ with the latest DSM.
My NAS is running smbd 4.1.20:

Code:

Code:

admin@DS1515:/$ smbd -V Version 4.1.20 Synology Build 7321, May  4 2016 11:48:34

Samba 4.1.20 was released on 9/1/15, so it's not that old.

Network latency


That's probably not network latency. Network latency is how long the low level network packets are delayed, and there is no indication that this problem is at a low level.

More than likely, given the age of your previous system (XP) your NAS is probably likewise older which means it probably doesn't support the latest SMB protocols fully. You might look to see if your NAS has an upgrade available for it.
