Windows 10: Slow / Hanging Internet

Hey all,I have a PC with Windows 11 installed. I have reasonably fast internet via ethernet. However, every browser + website is slow, occasionally hanging for 10s-20s at a time.No other device in the household behaves this way. I have a Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10 installed with no such issue, even when WiFi is turned off and ethernet via the same cable is used.I booted up WireShark everyone's best friend on both the Surface and the PC. I've found something interesting: The PC experiences constant TCP spurious retransmissions and duplicate ACKs. See image below:Note that I removed all IP
