Windows 10: Recent (Dec 2018) drastic slowdown in printing speed.

Running Windows 10 (64-bit) and Epson WF-4630 printer via wi-fi network via gateway router . This combo has been working perfectly for close to a year, then last week of Dec 2018 sudden slowing of print from apps such as Word, Microsoft Office Picture Manager, etc. It now takes on the order of 4 to 5 minutes to print a single page of text, in short spurts of a few lines at a time. I stopped, cleared and restarted the print spooler...no joy. I removed the printer and all its applications, and reinstalled Epson driver/apps package...no joy. I reset the Window OS (keeping personal files)...no joy. This sounds suspiciously like a bug in a pushed update to me. Any similar complaints? Any suggestions?

Network speeds drastically reduced overnight.


Issue:Overnight my download speeds have dropped drastically on this PC. Other devices show typical speeds of 65 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up. This PC is showing roughly 5-7 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up on 5 GHz network and around 25 down and 10 up on my 2.4 GHz network. This is consistent over multiple tests and browsers of course.

Info:

• Windows 10-1511 Build 10586.164
• No firewall/AV enabled (Windows Defender disabled in GPEdit.)
• Linksys WMP600N Wireless adapter (802.11 b/g/n Dual band).
• D-Link DIR-850L router (802.11b/g/n/ac Dual band).

What I've tried/checked so far:

• Malwarebytes turns up nothing on full system scan.
• Task Manager / Resource Monitor shows nothing is using network out of the ordinary.
• Tried 4 different WLAN driver versions with the same results no matter which is installed.
• Ran TCP/IP stack reset (netsh i i r r).
• Reset winsocks (netsh winsock reset).
• Flushed DNS.
• Restarted PC.
• Powercycled router/modem.

Attempting Ethernet would be extremely challenging and I'm 99% certain this is specific to the WLAN adapter. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

Here's a quick laundry list:

List of software to use for overclocking and testing
Examples:
Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

Hi Riel,
