Windows 10 1709 Network Latency

Go to solution Solved by GoodBytes,

Make sure that no power saving feature is enabled for your network card under Device Manager.

If that doesn't help, try installing your motherboard chipset driver and networking, and not stay with Windows default, does that help?

 

I recently upgraded my system to the latest version of Windows 10 Pro. I am experiencing abnormal stutter and rubber banding in games (BF1 and Fortnite is what I have tested so far). This doesn't occur constantly but ever minute or two. I have Windows 8.1 installed along side Windows 10 right now and it does not have this issue at all (same network of course).  Checking my ping levels in game show them fluctuating much more than in 8.1. In Windows 8.1 in BF1 my ping is always in the 30-50 range while in Windows 10 it is anywhere from 30 - 100. Both using North American servers (tested multiple ones). Is there some setting in Windows 10 that needs to be changed?

Have you installed the latest drivers for your NIC? Either check your motherboard manufacturer's website, or find out exactly what make/model the NIC is (such as Intel, Realtek, Broadcom, etc) and get the latest drivers from their website.

Double check windows update settings and that it is truly up to date after the 1709 (quite "old" now).

Don't know if serious. What's currently newer than 1709? (Aside from usual security updates) :|

 

 

Stop and think a second, something is more than nothing.

While 1709 is indeed the last major release it was from september of last year. (half a year now). So you are correct with the security updates and what not. If someone has the actual September release of the installation media, sometimes it will do a few upgrates in the background... causing some "latency" depending on how much bandwidth you have and if you are for instance playing BF1.

Turning off everything in the Power Management Tab seems to have fixed it. Thanks!
