Windows 10: my ping is very unstable, going upwards to 2000ms while just browsing the internet,...

this issue has been there for sometime but i only noticed it recently when the issue kept becoming bigger while gaming it randomly spikes from my usual 120 - 140 ms to 300 and 400ms which is very annoying. i tried so many different methods i found online but none of them worked like server `/ipconfig` commands and changing windows settings so that windows does not search for network adapters in the background and etc.. none of them worked. could someone pls help me with this?

Can ping but not browse

Hello Tony,

We appreciate your patience on this issue. I would like to assist you with further information from here.

From the description provided, I understand that the Windows Firewall is blocking the browsers from accessing the internet.

I would suggest you to check in the list of allowed programs if the browsers (including Microsoft Edge) are included. Follow the below steps.

• Right Click on the Start Menu and select Control Panel.
• Choose Windows firewall.
• Select the option Allow an app or feature through windows Firewall in the left navigation panel.
• Further on, you can uncheck the browser applications which you think are blocked by the Windows Firewall.
