Ping spikes during the day

Hello ParsaAsghari.

I'm Daniel, a Microsoft user like you. It is a pleasure to help you today. I know how frustrating it can be for you, but I will do my best to help you

I understand you are experiencing ping spikes in games during the day.

I have a question, do you use internet over Wifi?

Here I was having the same problem and it seems that windows gave a random ping spike when using WIFI because it was looking for networks at a regular interval.

I suggest you try this:

Open CMD as administrator and use the command:

netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=no interface="Wi-fi"

That way it will stop seeing new networks and avoid the ping spike.

And if you want to undo just use this command:

netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=yes interface="Wi-fi"

____

I hope I have helped you, have a great day.

Take care!

 

Windows 11, ping spikes

Hi Dan. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, specializing in Installation, Performance, Troubleshooting and Activation, here to help you.

You could always shrink C in Disk Mgmt and Clean Install WIndows 10 in a Dual Boot to try it on that laptop: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

This way you can decide if you want to keep it on the PC, go back and forth, use both, or use one and keep the other in reserve. If you decide you want to keep it I'll show you how to still get a free WIndows 10 license, just skip the key during intsall.

Now, here are fixes for ping spikes during gaming:

wlan autoconfig wifi lag spikes

Hi there,

I've been having this issue for several months now where my usually stable 20ms WiFi connection will spike to over 3000ms. I've narrowed it down to the WLan Autoconfig. Whenever the autoconfig scans for changes to the network the spike occurs, this can
be replicated on demand by clicking the WiFi symbol on the taskbar.

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this before or knows of a fix? I'm managed to stop the spikes by disabling the wlan autoconfig feature but then my connection speed gradually slows over time and is only resolved when I turn wlan autoconfig back
on for a minute to reconnect properly.

Neither of these options are fun.

Any help or advice is appreciated

Kind regards,

Andrew

For reference,

multiple usb wifi adaptors tested

tested on sky q hub and mobile hotspot

updated all drivers and bios

Windows up to date

Windows reset

All of these have had no effect.

The next step would probably be a clean install but I'm just checking here first if there's any other ideas
