So, basically I have a strange problem: downloading files from the Internet using a Browser on Windows 11 is way slower than it should be: I have a pretty good SpeedTest of about 340Mbps, and when downloading from other programs such as Steam or Epic Games, I download at around 40MB/s, which is great. But for whatever reason, downloading ANYTHING from any browser (Edge Stable, Beta, Dev, Canary, Firefox, Chrome, Chrome Canary, Vivaldi), just caps at around 1MB/s. I’ve obviously checked if it’s the server problem and it isn’t, for a bunch of reasons: It does it with every single website If I install another OS on my secondary SSD, being that Linux (Pop!_OS, Endeavour OS), or Windows (I’ve tried Windows 7 and Windows 11 (just realized that on here I use a different source to download Ubuntu but it's the same thing), downloading the same file from the same server is WAY faster, going to about 50MB/s At first I thought this was a problem with Windows 11, but like I said, a clean install of Windows 11 doesn’t have this problem (i've tried with both not doing any cumulative update and then doing every single update up to 22000.527), and also, another guy that has a not so old installation of Windows 10 21H2 has the same problem (Downloading using Firefox from Windows 10, downloading using Firefox from Arch Linux, downloading using Steam from Windows 10) I’ve tried disabling the Firewall, resetting network settings, sfc /scannow, doing an inplace upgrade of Windows 11 21H2, and nothing changed. I could just reinstall Windows (and that’s probably what i’m gonna do like tomorrow since this installation has a bunch of other problems too) but this could mean I can get the same problem again in the future, also considering I’m not the only one with this problem I’d like to know if someone else has had the same problem and has any idea in how to fix.

First, you can boot an entire OS from a USB, and that's a gorgeous thing when trying to troubleshoot a computer. Second: it's highly customizable, so technically no one can tell you he doesn't like Linux, because he probably haven't tried every DE or WM. Third: it runs really great on older hardware and especially on that hardware, it often has every driver that you need without having to install anything.
