Windows 10: Origin, Battle.net, and Google speed test capped to 3Mbps, other test tools and apps not capped

I'm having a strange issue where Origin, http://speedtest.googlefiber.net/ I get 60-70Mbps.

My other wifi and wired connections are getting 100-200Mbps.



Is it possible for some apps and google search speed test are both being throttled by some Windows setting? The fact all 3 are maxing at around 25Mbps is interesting.

Windows 10, 1903

Intel 3168 wifi

Upload speed capped on windows 10

Okay so, for some unknown reason, my computer and brand new laptop both running on windows 10 home, are capping my upload speed at 7.9mbps (exactly 0.6mbps from my router's upload sync speed). At first it may seem normal to be running slightly lower than
the upload sync speed, however on all my mobile phone devices, speed tests show that my phones are reaching between 9-10mbps. The exact same speed tests (And other speed tests) on my computer and new laptop show that the upload speed is being capped at 7.9mbps.

The router is new. I have recently had the line fixed so there's no issue there. The fact that my new out of the box laptop is also capping it makes me believe there's no malware or virus issue going on here. The only thing I have narrowed it down to is
that Windows itself is capping the speed somehow. I have also tried connecting to the router via ethernet cable however the speed is still capping at 7.9mbps. It is ALWAYS capping 0.6mbps under the sync speed and I'm not sure what is causing it.

 

Microsoft Network Speed Test app reports incorrect results when tested behind a proxy

I have been searching this community trying to find out why every time I run speedtest.net it never drops below 90Mbps yet the Network Speed Test app keeps capping iteself at either 20Mbps or 10Mbps. Every single person who brings this up is told their
network service provider is not giving them the data they signed up for.. I am in awe at this point.

You answered my question though. When I am on my VPN it just caps itself to either 10 or 20, even though Speedtest is showing 90. When I turn my VPN off the normal speeds return to Network Speed Test.
