Windows 10: Windows 10 cuts gig internet speed in half streaming one video...

Cross posted on a few tech Reddit's

So here's the situation. i'm running Comcast Gig speed into there XB7 modem, which is connected to my desktop via a Cat 6 cable from the 2.5gb port into my motherboards 2,.5gb port.

With nothing running, I can pull 1200mbps down all day long on any speedtest site, but the second I stream one 10800P video, which according to task manager is pulling around 10mbps, my speed drops to 300 or lower when running a speed test. if I stop the stream, goes right back to 1200mbps.

Running a speedtest over WiFI via my iPhone 12, I can pull 700-800mbps all day long, even when streaming on my PC and my speed drops to 300 on the desktop. I'm running the latest driver for the Intel i225-v, but it happens regardless of what I install.

I'm at the end of my rope here on how this is possible, even more so after seeing how my WiFi devices are uneffected...

Specs:
Core i9 10900K
Asus Strix Z490-a
32Gb RTam
RTX 3080
Windows 10 20H2

Here are some of the steps that you can try to stop video buffering problems:

Method 1: Cut Down on Background Downloads

Bandwidth is one of the most important resources for streaming video. If you have other active downloads, it will greatly affect your ability to stream video thus creating a buffering.

Method 2: Create a Larger Buffer

You may pause the video to give the software enough space to stream the video smoothly. A few seconds can do wonders for the video performance.

Method 3: Select Access Time

The streaming videos are hosted on servers that are available to scores of other users. If the video is popular, you can bet that it’s being simultaneously streamed by multiple users. This will make streaming slow thus making buffering necessary. Try to access
the site and video you want at a time when the server is not been hit by many users.

Method 4: Check Internet Speed

If you are constantly having buffering problems and your internet surfing is overall slow, you may have some connection difficulty. You can test your internet speed by using an online speed test.

Method 5: Alter Buffering Options in Media Players

• Press Start button in the bottom left-hand corner.

• Select Run and type: mplayer2.

• Select View and then click Options

• Choose Advanced.

• Select the Streaming Media option.

• Click Change and Set the Buffer to 0.
