Download speed extremely slow

notebook329B to Tech Support@poweruser.forumEnglish · 1 year ago

Hey everyone.

Today I turned on my PC (runs Windows 10) for the first time in six months. I’ve updated everything Windows wants me to and now I’m trying to update my games so I can play them again. However, my download speed is extremely slow. Epic Games Launcher is showing a constant 0.00B/s and I’ve only downloaded 471MB in two hours. My PC used to be really fast but I’m confused as to why this download speed is suddenly really bad. I use an Ethernet cable and I tried running a speed test and got great results, I just don’t know why my PCs speed is so slow.

Any tips other than “update stuff and restart?”
