    Download speed is low

    When I am downloading something from the Microsoft Store, Steam or Epic Store, the speed is too low. My Internet speed is 100 MB, so the downloading speed from the Microsoft Store should be about 10MB. But I get about 4 MB. Why is it happening?

    Very Low Downloading Speed

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting on our Microsoft Community.



    Download speed also depends on the kind of network adapter that you have on a computer. We would suggest that you uninstall the network driver, restart your computer after to let Windows install a new driver for your Windows 10 computer.



    To uninstall your network driver, follow the steps below:

    • Click Start, type Device Manager, and press
      Enter
      . Alternatively, you can also press Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the options.
    • Find and double-click the category of device whose driver you wish to uninstall (for example, the graphics card would be listed under Display Adapters).
    • Right-click the device, and click Uninstall.
    • Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click OK to remove the driver.
    • After the uninstallation is complete, reboot your computer as soon as possible.


    Let us know if this helps.
