    Strange case of slow internet

    Dear all, I am having a strange case of slow internet. I am using wired connection.

    My Geforce 570 from 5 years ago died recently, so I went to a store to buy Radeon RX 5600 XT.
    I installed the drivers and the β€œRadeon software”, but ever since then I am having a slow internet connection.

    But I am not having a typical slow internet connection, it’s a lot weirder. Internet browsing, SNS software, Steam is all slow, like really slow. Opening youtube takes about 20 seconds, and sometimes videos won’t load at all. Speed test always won’t start the first time by giving me latency of 10876 ms. The second time gives me on max 85 Mbps down and 80 up with a latency of 26 ms, which is pretty fast to me.

    What is even more strange to me is that when I play online games, for example, Counter-Strike Global Offensive, the dashboard doesn’t load, but I can still connect to servers, and I have very smooth connection when gaming. However, browsing while gaming is still slow.

    I hope someone could help me. Thank you.

    Here’s my PC spec (custom build):
    OS: Windows 10 64bit Home
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
    Motherboard: X470 AORUS GAMING 5 WIFI (I’m only using WIFI for mobile-hotspot, I am using wired connection for the PC)
    RAM: 16GB
    GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT

      If you uninstall the β€œofficial” AMD drivers and install drivers from Windows update?

      Go to Device Manager, right-click on the Display Adapters and select to uninstall it (and remove the drivers too).
      Reboot the system and run Windows Update.

      See what happens.

        I already did and it didn’t change the situation.

        Also, installing drivers from Windows does not support dual display for some reason.
