I have a PC running windows 10, all of the latest updates have been installed and drivers are up to date and it is connected to a ethernet cable for internet. I have a gigabit ethernet service. When I run an internet speed test I get somewhere between 14 -40 Megabits/sec download and 15-30 Megabits/sec upload (on a good day). When I connect my laptop to the same ethernet cable my download speed is between 650 and 750 Megabits/sec and my upload is closer to 50 Megabits/sec. I have tried many suggestions online such as turning off automatic updates, and removing the reserve bandwidth for updates. changing the network adaptor settings to force gigabit speed rather than auto assign. I have even tried installing a new gigabit network card to see if it was a motherboard issue and no luck. I cant seem to find anything online to help me resolve this issue. Please help.

2022-01-13T03:39:47+00:00 I have the same issue but couldnt find a solution yet.
I used Ubuntu usb stick to boot with Linux. The internet speed is as expected. So, the problem is not related to hardware. On Windows 10, something limits the speed but what is that? Last thing I will try is either upgrade or downgrade Win-10.

2022-01-12T00:53:59+00:00 I'm curious how you had it be not normal as Windows default is set to normal. Probably your real issue was some tuning software or something changing it in the first place. Windows 10 by default doesn't limit the speed. It can easily achieve the highest speed without any change.
