Please if anyone can help please do! Recently I was forced to use my sons pc to do my gaming b/c mine took a poop. Any who I use steam to game and I also play WoW (world of warcraft) With either client I use they both are deathly slow. This computer is only a year old so and was a pre built for gaming. My son has always complained about its downloading speed though I didn't really get first hand experience until I had to update the games I wanted to play. We have gig internet speeds and I tried WIFI and Ethernet connections on his computer. WIFI was only giving me about 200mbps and Ethernet gave me almost the full gig. BUT regardless of what I was using the speeds were that of a snail! It literally took from 1 pm to 2 am to update one game on steam. I looked into some help sections to see if I could fix the issue but nothing. I am thinking its a hardware issue but I have no idea what would be throttling the download so bad!
 
Windows 10 has a built in network reset, I’d try that first. Before you reset the network, uninstall any third party antivirus, and or firewall. Then use the removal tool found below, and reboot the machine.
