Internet speed is very slow - but network is ok

[WaltJoh]

This system has recently become very slow with the internet.  Other functions seem ok.  The speed has been good until recently, the last 2 to 3 weeks.

This computer speed test on internet is ~9Mbs , other computers on same router are 90Mbs++  (comcast cable).

The speedtest speed is the same on E.N. or on WiFi. 

The E.N. speed is >100Mbs.

I have turned off the firewall, realtime virus check, and the speed barely changes.

The windows trouble shooting shows No Problems Found,

A CPU test show the CUP running at 100%.

Task Manger show no unusal applications and total CPU usage at 10% to 15%.

All updates are installed according to the HP support tool.

Computer model number is 23-g209

Product number is J4W20AAR#ABL

OS is Windows 10 Home 64-bit 

Thanks for you help.

The Fossette,

Thanks for your reply.

The driver reinstall did not improve it.

And the Network diagnostic still reported nothing wrong.

Then I started your suggested artcle.  AND WHEN I powered off this PC and the router at the same time, it fixed it.  I had previously reset the router and the pc but not at the same time!

Go figure!

Thanks again.

Walt
