@eschluss here's a few things you need to do, to resolve this issue once and for all:
- Disable all firewalls and antivirus programs including windows ten's own firewalls and antivirus programs.
- try safe mode with networking to check if the Internet connection is fast there. Try both wired and wireless options.
- Link for safe mode with networking is given in my earlier post. Please try that.
- Uninstall the existing network adapters and update the bios chipset and network adapters (both wired and wireless) from this link : click here to find and install the same
- Please try to change the router's broadcasting channel to another value. try different working channels. that might help for WiFi only.

I have 4 laptops 1 hp and 3 acers. My speed is slow only on my HP..I have already tried what you suggest and still the Hp is slower. This happened from when I got the laptop. It also has high cpu, memory and hard drive usage. I wiped the laptop and redid everything. nothing works.
