Windows 10: Very slow connection to websites after starting up, but still high internet speeds.

After starting up my pc connects to websites very slowly. But when I check my internet speed it still says 100+ mbps, none of my other devices have this problem. And I have no clue on what could be the issue. I was hoping someone could help me with my issue. Thanks in advance.

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• Outdated network adapter driver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.

 

slow internet speed through ethernet(high speed internet connection), and disk usage as high as 100 percent

i have an ethernet connection for using internet. i have 2 windows 10 , version 1607 laptops. When i plug the ethernet cable in one laptop, i can use internet at the speed promised by my service provider(2mbps). I have checked this speed in task manager.

but when i plug in the same ethernet cable in other laptop, internet speed in task manager shows very little speed near about 50 kbps. and this too doesnt remain constant. the speed varies very rapidly between 0-100 kbps. suppose first i saw 20kbps, then
in next second it goes as high as 100 kbps..and then in the next second it shows 0kbps..remains 0kbps for a few seconds, and then again speed picks up for a few seconds.

One more key observation, whenever internet speed grows, my disk usage grows as high as 100 percent. And then internet speed slows down.

Whenever i connect this laptop(the one i am using ) to internet either through ethernet/wifi...even with higher speed connection, though i get a bit higher speed, but i have observed a lot of fluctuations in speed in task-manager, performance tab, the graph
rarely stays straight(constant), it just forms a triangular shape, it as if a connection loss is taking place every 4-5 seconds.

A month ago, this PC was working well.

 

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.
