Windows 10: Ping spike / disconnecting when opening windows on explorer

Hey guys, got a question that has been burning my brain out.

Everytime I open a new window on Windows (Win key + E, uploading/downloading window file, basically any Window) i got a HUGE lagspike to the point of the "Request timed out". Looks like I'm just getting disconnected from the internet for a couple of seconds or something, and sometimes it takes around 1 or 2 minutes to go back to normal. Even opened up 3 windows and got "disconnected" 3 times. Any tips?

Random Disconnects and Frequent Ping Spikes??

Ok, as the title says, I'm getting random disconnects and very frequent ping spikes during games. The disconnects seem to happen after the computer has been on for a while. I'll leave my computer on at night seeding some files and the next morning nothing I won't be able to access the internet. A simple restart fixes this though. To make sure it wasn't just my computer, I got set up a backup computer running Win7 RC right next to my main one and it works fine.

Also, during games (BF2) I get a very high average ping as well as frequent ping spikes. My average ping will jump from 30ms like it should to around 300ms. Then sometimes, it'll spike to 600ms or something then it'll go back down to something near 300. I know this is isolated to this computer, because I got BF2 running on the backup computer and went to the same server and its ping was like 30ms, while my main computer was like 300ms. Both of these computers are plugged into the same switch, which connects to a router.

I've also checked the background processes. Everything that isn't necessary to game with was killed. So the only thing that would access the internet would be the game. Still had the same issues.

Just for fun, I even threw another NIC that I had laying around. SAME ISSUE. So that seems to eliminate the mobo's integrated NIC as the issue.

I don't know where the problem lies. It's frustrating because this ultra fast watercooled quad core machine can't get a decent ping while this other Pentium D machine plays fine. *Bang Head :banghead: Help is greatly appreciated.

 

Random Disconnects and Frequent Ping Spikes??

Double check to make sure your ports were open, there was not network monitoring software on, and I found that turning off pre-rendered frames helps with ping and disconnects a lot. Pre-rendered frames is normally set at 3, turn it off if possible (0 frames), or 1 if it has to be on for some reason.

 

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
