I’ve been having some crazy network issues on a new PC I bought and am having a very difficult time fixing this. Any help would be immensely appreciated.

I started to notice issues right after setting the PC up, I tried to install some requirements for a project using anaconda, the Python environment and package manager tool. While doing this, some of the downloads it was trying to do began to hang at arbitrary amounts complete, and after a solid 30s - 60s, some sort of timeout must have hit because I got an CONDA HTTP ERROR 000. After a ton of research and trial and error, I could not solve this.

I then noticed that I’m unable to download large files via my web browser OR via curl requests. The behavior is that I initiate the download, the download progresses a few percent, then the ETA begins to increase rapidly until the download effectively stops and hangs.

There are a few other little things I notice, such as browser pages occasionally just hang while loading. Additionally there are a few pending Windows update that I have that fail when trying to download.

Some things I’ve tried so far:

• Removing my ethernet adapter in device manager then having it reinstalled.
• Installing the latest drivers for my adapter which I downloaded from Intel’s site
• Disabling the TPM security processor. I did this because I had a suspicion it was having some effect. I noticed that on every startup, I had an log in Event Viewer along the lines of “SCEP Certificate enrollment for Local system via [some long URL] failed: PkiStatus”. So I figured there was some SSL verification issue going on, so I tried to disable as many security features as I could for a short time.
• Disabled every setting I could find in Windows Defender & firewall
• Installed OpenSSL for Windows

Any ideas on what might be going on or things to try?
