Windows 10: Windows 10 is not using full internet speed

Hey,

I've recently upgraded to a 500 Mbit/s contract. I've noticed that I don't have access to the full extend of that speed under Windows 10. This is definitely not a hardware sided problem. I have full internet speed on a Mac OS device and also booted my computer with a linux usb where I have the full 500 Mbit/s (slightly more than that actually). So this problem must be caused by something on the OS level or smth building up on that. The speed I have access to is somewhat around 370 Mbit/s. Weirdly I have the exact same speed on my PS4 which is known for throttling down the internet speed.

Some useful information hopefully:
- Windows Version: Build 18362.720
- The PC is connected to the router directly with a LAN cable
- Full internet speed on a Mac OS device
- Also full speed when I boot the exact same PC with Linux
- The only antivirus I got is Malwarebytes and probably Windows Defender
- The adapter and router settings are both set to 1 Gbit/s
- Network adapter: Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V

I'd be grateful if anyone knows what could be causing that or what I can do for troubleshooting this.

:)

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.
