My Win 10 machine has upload speeds under 1Mbps when using an Ethernet connection. Wireless upload speed is 15-20Mbps. Safe mode Etnernet connection is also 15-20Mbps. Here's what I've tried:

Any other ideas?

    Had similar experience with the software activated again after using the majorgeeks tool. So this was useless.

    What I found to work so far was keeping the software installed, and turning the Perioritization Engine off, and also disabling Auto Bandwidth. This will prompt for setting a bandwidth. Set the up and down speeds to something like 1500 MB.

    This I found on the Dell website at this link: https: //www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000135709/slow-internet-speed-using-killer-ethernet-adapters

    I do have XPS 8930 and this did the trick for me . I hope this works for other models or brands.

    So far this solution has worked. I have turned the PC on and off for several weeks and the UP and DN speeds are normal at the ISP nominal rates, and those settings at the Killer software have stayed the same.

    Cheers.....

    Hmm... I thought I had fixed this with the Major Geeks uninstaller but today I noticed the Killer software was back!

    With the Major Geeks uninstaller, I use the first two buttons to Scan and Remove the Killer software. Then when I click on the Disable button, I get a message that says "---Disabling Killer Software (Service and KCC)---" and that's all that ever happens. Does that mean it's not finishing that process?

    Thanks!

    Excellent! After a few days of messing about this solved my problem too!

    Only thing is it switches back on when I restart my pc! How do I keep it switched off?

    I had this same problem - a reboot would turn on the priortization engine. Found this solution from the Intel Community (https://community.intel.com/t5/Ethernet-Products/Killer-Intelligence-Center-Slow-Upload-Speed/m-p/1482295/highlight/true#M33158) 

    TLDR version: run the Killer Software Uninstaller at https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/killer_software_uninstaller.html 

    I ran it about a week ago, have rebooted multiple times, and the upload speeds have remained consistently high.
