I wouldn’t normally post on a forum but, I’m not sure what else to do as I’ve exhausted all my options.
I recently bought a new computer (https://www.argos.co.uk/product/7637407) but I think Windows 10 or other software may be slowing the internet speed.
speed test with my phone connected to the WiFi gives speeds of 40mbps as does my Xbox (being able to download games within a couple hours.) When I speed test on the pc it caps at 17mbps on speed tests but when I check the task manager it says the computer is getting 40mbps.
Steam caps at 5mbps and chrome takes forever to download anything. I’ve tried both Ethernet and WiFi but having it wired up doesn’t make a difference. Followed multiple videos but none make a difference.
Unsure what’s happening here but, I think software is the problem. I’ve uninstalled McAfee and that helped a bit but it’s still very bad.
Apologies if that has been an eyesore to read.
Thanks
