Throttled download speeds for steam/gog.

I recently bought a new pc running windows 11 (specs below).

I'm facing throttled download speeds for certain applications and I can't figure out why.

Speedtest is giving me 150Mbps down (max from my provider).

This speed seems to also be active when downloading windows/driver updates.

When downloading anything from steam/gog (maybe other things, haven't tested a lot), the download speeds seems to be limited to 10Mbps (in app + performance tab in task manager).

Things I have checked:

• I never had this issue with my previous pc using the same cable/switch/router.
  
• I have switched cables, connected to the router itself.
  
• I have checked the settings in steam/gog, no throttling active there.
  
• I have reïnstalled windows multiple times.
  
• I have reïnstalled gog/steam multiple times.
  
• I have tried a few network adapter drivers.

Slow Download Speed

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft forums.

• I would suggest you to test the speed using any of the speed test website or app to confirm the upload and download speed.
• I also suggest you to reset the wireless router to check if that helps.
  
• You may plug in the Ethernet cable if available and check the speed.
  

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you
