Windows 10: PC running Windows 10 appalling file transfer speed

Hi Everyone,

Im a newbie on this forum so tell me if Im posting incorrectly or doing anything else wrong?

We`ve been told by Microsoft that Windows 10 is the best and most stable OS ever, but thats not my experience of it. Im constantly googling how to sort things out that are not working in Win 10 or following instructional videos on YT to try and resolve things, and what staggers me is I have a particular problem, I google it or search within You Tube for an answer but invariably straightaway start getting responses saying `Oh yes this is a common or well known problem in Windows 10`! Well why dont Seattle get off their bums and put these well known issues put right in their updates?

My current problem, thats driving me absolutely mad, is the slow transfer speed Win 10 has in just copying data files from my PC to various hard disk drives or even to another folder on the same disk that the original file is on, on my PC. On Windows 8.1, I used to get transfer speeds of 200 mb/s regularly, now running Windows 10 it can be anything from 13 mb/s down to a few kb/s! This is total madness, I used to back up all my data on a Saturday and it used to take a couple of hours, now its taking anything up to 3 days. Now I've tried a few fixes people have suggested via Google searches or in YT videos but to date I`m in as bad a state as a few weeks ago, when thinking the problem was `something unknown` on my system I had a complete OS reinstall done on my PC and the file transfer speed when I got my PC back hadn't changed one iota. My PC is a Lenovo H50-50 desktop i5-4460 processor with 16GB RAM, it was manufactured in February 2015, so surely not ready for the scrap heap just yet.

Any help that anyone can give will be much appreciated.

Thanks everyone

Steve

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 extremely slow file transfer speeds


I have three pc's on my home network. One had windows 10 from the factory the other two were Win 7 and 8.1 and all were experiencing 70-90MB/sec file transfer speeds. My internet was and still is 60MB/sec. After upgrading to windows 10 the file transfer speeds went to 5-8MB/sec. Internet speed is unaffected. I have followed many forums and tried every suggestion and nothing has resolved this issue. The last big windows 10 update did slow down the native windows 10 machine from 70-90MB/sec to 50-60MB/sec. Also, the native Win 10 machine is connecting via wifi and others via ethernet (wired)
Any new ideas? Yes, latest drivers. Yes, Large Offload is disabled and many other suggestions.

 

Transfer speed

If you want the speed of your uploads and downloads, use the sites in the link above me. If you are looking to see the speed within the network, transfer a large file and expand the window showing the movement, it should display a speed of that file from PC to PC.
