Is the problem only with your internet connection.

What do you mean by work related.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

my internet download speed is 194 idk if that info is needed. But word google docs all of it just bad cant run multiple programs when i first got the pc it was perfect i accidently updated to windows 11 and had issues ever since. I am writing this while listening to Spotify and the music is fine but my typing is delayed or just freezes also the command prompt pops up every time i get on and its just empty and stays that way but wont close i dont know much about pc so i dont know if thats normal. Other problems are boot up times are slow even though i have nothing set for start up on pc boot.

sorry for long reply

Thanks for any help been on multiple reedits and discords no help

Apologies for the delay getting back to you, been busy elsewhere I`m afraid.

Looking at Speccy, there is nothing shown to be wrong with the internet connection itself but you do have the awful McAfee AV installed so that will need to go.

Something is wrong with the speed that the RAM is shown to running at, in dual channel it would be almost 15000MHz o_O

Almost half of your RAM is shown to be in use, this most likely McAfee.

Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11 come with an improved Windows Defender, it offers the same real-time anti-virus/anti-malware protection as Microsoft Security Essentials. Windows Defender also shares the same malware signature definitions as Microsoft Security Essentials, and Forefront Endpoint Protection. Technically, Microsoft Security Essentials has not been renamed Windows Defender, or combined with it in Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11.

If any AV product that you have is a paid for version you should always make sure that you have a copy of the product key kept somewhere safe just in case you ever wish to reinstall it.

Please create a new system restore point first.

McAfee product removal tool (MCPR) here

Once McAfee has been correctly uninstalled, check to see if Windows Defender has auto enabled and allow it to update and carry out a full scan of your computer.

Once done, restart, test by using the computer as you normally would, post back with an update when you are ready.

Defrag is probably setup to automatically preform automatically.

4% is not that bad can still be done yet not that bad.

Just to confirm that the system since the update is no longer allowing you to download updates or download yet you were able to download and use speccy?

Or is this just updating through a program specifically?

Are you using a browser and or the Apps for these programs?

Tried a different browser?

Uninstall the App (if used) then reinstalling?

If browser have you tried resetting the browser?

Have you also attempted to reset the network setting on the system?

I am able to download things and do updates When it comes to discord and Spotify I have the program itself also steam for my games and for the yt and Google docs and all all that stuff I have tried Internet explorer chrome and opera Gx but still have issues the problem is when I started using the PC I was able to run multiple task with ease but since going to window 11 that seems impossible. The performance did increase slightly when I uninstalled macfee and reinstalled windows example the boot up time is slightly faster but when I get to opening programs even task manager or settings there is a 2 min delay in which they open the delay gets longer depending on the program I try to open. Then after I open everything I have to do what I want to do on the computer I have hitching or freezing thankfully the crashes have stopped I haven't experienced any as of late but the hitching happens a solid 8 times out of 10 and its quite infuriating also some download for windows keep failing I have to press retry like 3 different times for it to finally download but one problem at a time I guess

There may be no fix since it was an update and not a fresh install. Left over part from Windows 10 could be messing with Windows 11. Which is why we will always suggest a fresh install over an upgrade for situations like this.

Bigger questions is do you want to keep fighting with Windows 11 like this or do a fresh install and or go back to Windows 10?

Please do not post as 1 solid paragraph makes it hard to follow, read. some things may get skipped.

So, you are using the Apps for which?

Each browser is affected the same way?
