Ok so im still hoping for some insight as to my problem. See the image below of 3 diffenent speed tests run in browsers. the one on the left is Firefox running in ubuntu vm, the one on the right is Firefox running on windows 10 host and the bottom is Chrome runing on the windows 10 host.

well what are you looking for because outside of resource monitor displaying in bytes it shows the program name the specific PID in and out activity as well as total and the ip or mac its communicating with for the specific pid of the application. to be honest im not sure you can get to much more detailed than that without access to the content of the packets themselves, which is probably not going to happen if the traffic is encrypted. it also lists all the applications with each specific pid that are listening on a port what the port is the protocal its using and again the address. same with tcp connections it gives you the application name pid local and remote port and address packet loss and latency. not sure what details your looking for but the built in windows recourse monitor seems to have a lot of your bases covered. this all here only covers some of what it dose on the network section. it may help if you better describe what its missing that you want, or what task you intend to do.

Yes task managers network utilization matches and confirms what the epic games launcher is saying. also there are other programs besides the epic games launcher that behave as expected when it comes to network speed. the epic games launcher is not the exception, and the reason i have not solved this myself or found the problem my self is there is no obvious rule or exceptions so far it seems what is affected is random. to list things a few applications that dont work steam, chrome, firefox, edge, the actual speedtest app for speedtest.net(using it or the website in browser nets the same result).

Ok, yes i understand this, and have seen in before in action especially with steam. However note this is not the case here for my problem. this problem has persisted over a month now that i have noticed. I can go to speedtest.net and run a speed test on my two different computers and get wildly different results for my internet speed using the same usb 3 gigabit ethernet adapter and cable for both pcs removing as much network variability as i can. furthermore as i have stated the pc in question, my desktop consistently gets a speedtest.net result of ~160mps while my tablet gets ~400mbps. Even more confounding is going back to the desktop and using the epic game launcher to download fortnite at 50MB/s(~400mbps) while it can't do a speed test to show that type of connection speed. but my tablet can both download fortnite at 400mbps and do the speed test showing 400mbps. so again what gives?

So i have this problem where my desktop for some reason does not use my full internet connection with certain applications. This speed limitation is limited to this specific computer on my network and more importantly to some sort of software or application imposed limit, and i cannot find the cause of what it is. Lets start with what works the epic games launcher is able to download and install Fortnite at my internet speed of 400mbps. This works over the gigabit built in port and a usb 3 gigabit adapter. The computer is a i7 6700k with 32gb ram and the drive is 3 ssds in raid 0. Where the problem starts is with other applications chrome, firefox, edge, steam, origin all will not during a speedtest or download of anything, do it at a speed of greater than ~160mbps. i am completely baffled by this problem as i have a asus tablet with a dual core i7 and only 8gb ram, that when testing all the same applications using that usb 3 gigabit adapter i mention earlier is able to use the full 400mbps internet speed to do the same tasks. Any help or suggestions for something to look for would be appreciated!

I thought I would post a link back to this video to help explain why they are using the codecs and software there using, because it isn’t without thought. https://youtu.be/YQ96fLCGFRw
