jct21 Posted March 5, 2017 CID Share Posted March 5, 2017 im on a clean install of windows 10 x64 all speedtests here and other places come back normal 103mb on my cable connection using firefox. however internet explorer 11 & edge, when testing here at tmn will never get over 40mb speed. that said, IE & edge test normal at speedtest . net now while using windows 8.1 on this same computer firefox and IE test normal here and everywhere else. is there some settings im overlooking in these browsers preventing normal download test results using windows 10? i have everything that i can turned off in windows 10 that hinders my bandwidth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jct21 Posted March 13, 2017 Author CID Share Posted March 13, 2017 apparently ive found the issue. since upgrading to windows 10 1607 - anniversary update, speed tests using ie11 and edge are cut in half. transfer rates when downloading large files such as drivers from NVidia are half what they should be when using ie and edge. using firefox all speed tests and download transfer rates are what they should be. that is why while using windows 8.1 all browsers on all speed sites worked fine. ive tried all the anniversary update internet fix suggestions for windows 10 but none of them work. rolling back the update to a previous version fixes the problem in windows 10 and all browsers and download rates are as they should be. MS needs to fix this. Pgoodwin1 and CA3LE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete424 Posted March 18, 2017 CID Share Posted March 18, 2017 I've noticed a big drop off of my speeds using Edge. I really like the browser, but it is half as fast as Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hager86 Posted March 30, 2017 CID Share Posted March 30, 2017 pete, jc, edge gives me the same results as ie11 using windows 10 after the anniversary update. prior to that everything worked fine. my download speeds are cut exactly in half during large file downloads and this site will never get out of the 30's when testing with ie11 & edge, which should get 100+ results. here is what I know so far... windows 7, 8.1 and windows 10 prior anniversary update, all browsers get same accurate speed test results. seems the anniversary update only affects ie11 and edge. other browsers get accurate results ive searched for days trying various fixes from turning off auto tuning, turning Qos to 0% using gpedit, adjusting tcp settings using tcp optimizer, turning off ipv6, etc... prob tried at least 20 fixes that others claim works but none of them work for me. when downloading large files my transfer rate is 12.8MB/s using firefox. when using ie or edge its slashed down to 5 or less. I am directly connected via Ethernet cable. if anyone reading this knows of a fix to keep windows 10 from slashing internet speeds in ie11 & edge, please post, it would be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
