I have been fighting this problem for several months after the Fall Creators Update without success: When I start my PC fresh, I get fast internet download speed of 60 Mbps, which is the speed of my Cox Internet plan. After one hour or so, the download speed drops down to 0.3 Mbps. When I try to restart, there is ALWAYS a warning saying, 'This program is preventing Windows from shutting down'. I have closed ALL programs before the restart. There is no active programs running in the Task Manager. This happens every time that I noticed the extremely slow internet speed and tried to restart. I have to force it to restart and to regain my internet speed back to 60 Mbps. So my routine every day is as follows: Start my PC fresh, then restart my PC again every one hour or so due to extremely slow internet speed. This happens at work, at home., during the day, during late night, or 1-5AM in the morning before work. I have confirmed that it is not due to Cox Internet. I believe it is this mysterious program that is running in the background that does not show up on the Task Manager. It takes up almost all my internet bandwidth and choke my internet speed to almost zero. It is happening everyday, all day long. I have tried anti-virus by Kaspersky, Windows Defender, and Webroot. All have same results.
Do anyone know how to find out what is this unidentified program running in the background that slows the internet speed to 0.3Mbps consistently? It is running in the background and preventing the PC from shutting down? Does something inside Windows 10 have anything to do with this? I have turned off 'Allow downloads from Other PCs' in the setting. https://togetherclever768.weebly.com/bad-moms-download-torrent-magnet.html. I have watched the Memory and CPU usage for all items running in Task Manager. Nothing seemed to consume much to slow down my internet net speed to such extreme low speed.
The upload speed that you have when sending files though Hightail. Make sure to Allow the Drag and Drop applet once you restart and attempt the upload again. (ISP) often calculate and advertise upload and download speeds in terms of. If your download speed is significantly lower than the speed you should be getting, contact your ISP and ask them to run a line test to determine the cause of the speed loss. Note: Many connections (e.g., cable/DSL, & wireless broadband) have a slower upload speed in comparison with the download speed.
Can someone share some thoughts on this? Any help will be deeply appreciated!!
My interent on my custom desktop, as far as I can remember, has functioned fine for a long time now. However, after upgrading to windows 10 and having it around for a while, I noticed a sharp decrease in internet speed. I've tried multiple solutions, but nothing seems to have worked. It only seemed to start occurring after installing Windows 10.
