Windows 10: Problems with internet speed while any sort of online games opened

Hi,I have a small problem. When I play video games, which require internet connection doesn't matter if it's a super new, demanding game, or an old one, my internet is super slow when trying to browse through the internet while the game is minimalized. It's to the point, that when i want to watch a video on YT or Twitch, i need to set it to the lowest possible resolution. https://imgur.com/a/DXJquSo - download while game is openedhttps://imgur.com/a/xibPsDU - game closedI live at the dorms, so the download speed is usually higher that what i posted in the screenshot. I don't think

Why is my internet speed slowing down when opening games?

Hi there,
I am connected through ethernet cable to my internet network and the internet speed is mostly at 700-800 Mbps, even through Wi-Fi the internet speed is 300-350 Mbps, but everytime I'm opening a game such as League of Legends or CS:GO the internet speed goes down to max. 10 Mbps. I'm pretty sure that this is not a hardware problem, nor an internet connection one and it might come from Windows's side. Can I get some help to troubleshoot this problem?

 

Asus N580VD slow internet speed

Hi Blair,

There are several factors that affect your internet speed. A few would be connection speed, network traffic, hardware capability, and type of connection. To help us identify what might be causing the slow internet speed on your laptop, allow me to ask the
following information:

• How's your laptop connected to the network? Is it directly wired to the modem/router or wirelessly connected?
• Were your other computers that were getting 100 Mbps download speed connected to the same network?
• Were there other devices connected to the network while you tried to download?
• Have you tried connecting your laptop to a different network? Did you get the same internet speed?

In the meantime, please run a speed test on your laptop. If the internet speed is slower that your internet package, then you may try to update the drivers of your network adapters to ensure that it's up-to-date. Please check out and follow the steps provided
on this link: Update drivers in Windows 10.

If you're trying to download while your laptop is wirelessly connected to your network, then kindly check its wireless adapter speed by checking its Wireless Network Connection Status. Follow these steps:

1. Right-click the wireless icon on your system tray, click Open Network & Internet settings, then click
   Wi-Fi.
2. On the right pane, click Change adapter options.
3. Right-click your Wireless Network Connection and click
   Status.

Please take a screenshot of the status page and kindly include it on your reply.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Regards.

 

Slow Internet speed on only one computer.

Hi Cody,

Slow internet speed on one of your computer could be due to the following:

• Outdated network adapter driver
• Different Wi-Fi chipset
• Computer processing speed

Make sure that the network driver of your computer(s) are always updated.

We also suggest you to contact your internet service provider for them to check your internet connection speed and give you more information.

Feel free to post back if you have other concerns.
