Windows 10: Sharing absurdly slow, plus other possibly related problems

File sharing is absurdly slow on my home network. While I get very good speeds when accessing files and streams from the internet, when I try to move a file from my desktop to my laptop I typically get a speed of 355kB/s, and sometimes it just stops and gives up altogether. This is just one of a cluster of SMB failures on my home network. When I try to connect to a share on my laptop from my desktop, I always get asked for my login credentials, even though I have entered them dozens of times and have ticked the box to say that I want them remembered. And often when I try to browse shares on my desktop from my laptop, it takes 20 minutes just to open a folder. Sometimes it will open two or three folders quickly and then switch into the 20 minute mode after that. And also the desktop doesn't appear in the laptop's network browser. I have to enter the address manually.

I read somewhere that disabling large send offload for the network adapters would solve the problem, but it hasn't worked in my case.

How can I get acceptable SMB performance?

One or more network protocols are missing on this computer

That seemed to fix it (hopefully).

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: I don't know if this is relevant or not, but this specific issue seems to be pretty frequent. If I ever can connect, the internet is absurdly slow (on other devices, this isn't the case). Is there any reason why only my computer has the most trouble,
and only with one network?

It is the nature of Windows. Easier to just use a NAS or FTP server. Otherwise get a NAS.

 

No it is not nature of Windows. There is clearly something not right.

 

Are both networks private?
