Connection issues only with Windows

[AiutatemiPerfavoreGrazie]

For a while now I've had problems related to my internet connection speed and stability, I tried checking up with the provider and modem but already had a red flag since for my housemate it was working just fine. I then tried port forwarding and ethernet but the problem persisted so i went and checked if it was a hardware or software problem on my end.

 

Got ubuntu on my usb and started the pc through it and lo and behold I was suddenly getting the exact same test results as my housemate, so I'd say it's definitely a software problem related to windows.

 

Now I know it could be a miriad of things and formatting is probably the fastest way to solve but I'm currently an architecture student and have multiple single download licenses programs (plus some projects that have lots of temporary files related to them) so i would really prefer trying everything I can before getting to that.

 

My test results were as follows (did them through testmy.net with multithread off and throughout the day):

 

- On Windows 10: download speed around 17 mbps, latency around 60ms with frequent spikes to 110 and sometimes even more 

 

- On Ubuntu: download speed around 200 mbps, latency around 30ms at most going to 50 (which are the same my housemates got)

 

 

I spend most of my time playing on online multiplayer and since this problem the spikes have made them close to unplayable since it's most fighting games and fps.

 

Thanks in advance anyone willing to help

Try updating your network drivers.

They are updated, tried checking them the first time but nothing changed

Please run the speed tests from speedtest.net.

 

Microsoft has some recommendations which I suggest you run.

I did check the microsoft page when I started looking into it but nothing really helps, besides most of the problems listed there are related to the connection completely not working which mine still is or are discarded by the fact that it was working well on the Ubuntu try.

1. Are those speeds on WiFi or over ethernet? If over ethernet, this has to be directly connected to the modem/gateway or router... not through a powerline adapter or range extender with wired input.
2. Did you try running the netsh commands and performing a network reset?
3. When you run these speed tests, are you sure there is nothing running in the background (e.g. torrents, streaming, etc.) that might be consuming bandwidth? What about others who are on the same network as you? The network has to be completely “quiet” when you’re running the speed tests.
4. Do you have any TCP/IP tweaks applied to the way Windows handles internet connections?
5. Try running the speed test from another browser to compare.
