I have a HP laptop (Model: 15-ac121na) using Windows 10 Home and for the last 3months ive been having problems with very slow internet speed. I tried so many different solutions to no avail and eventually i come across a temporary fix of rolling back the driver of the network adapter to version 2023.4.720.2015 however every time i close the laptop or restart it the network adapter updates itself again. This situation is bearable but now suddenly i keep getting window assistant pop ups constantly trying to download 5GB of updates. After giving in on what seems like the 1000th attempt to stop it i let the updates install and upon logging into my laptop i noticed the internet speeds had dropped again, i tried to roll back the driver but the option is now greyed out and i was stuck with just 54kbps on version 2023.58.731.2017!! I uninstalled the updates by going back to the previous windows build and now everything is back to normal (me rolling back the driver every so often) but im still getting windows assistant pop ups trying to install even after i went to control panel and deleted the application!

If anyone could help me with either deleting the assistant permanently or even my dodgy speeds i would be very greatful.

    I solved the problem by switching to MAC , no more problems. Microsoft does not care, so neither do I.

    So i think I've solved the issue. The update may be infected, at least it probably was for me. I troubleshooted it by downloading a thing from microsoft in order to fix it. Once that happened, I did the update and havent seen it since

    Thats a virus from windows whıch we cant control or delete ıt permently. I have the same problem more then 3 mounths. 

     u cant control ur own pc. they are not asking u that u wanna do this update or not. And worse part is coming that update cannot finish complety. WHY? cause microsoft workers cant create a perfect update. they only know to rape ur pc. thats why ı give up windows 10 ı start to use İOS system as least they are asking every step WHİCH EVERY ONE MUST DO cause THESE ARE OUR OWN PC not belong to İDİOT MICROSOFT.
