Update: Called Verizon, explained the situation and everything I had done up to now. The tech was very smart and immediately tried something that appears to be working. What she explained to me is that Verizon has had issues with their most recent firmware update with some IPv6 things. So...

It's midnight, still having the same issue. Also, tried moving which port the cable is in on the router, no change. Did some assorted Tracerouts, seems there is quite a bit of packet loss (for YouTube, 9 out of 23 hops). Watched plenty of stuff on my laptop on the Wi-Fi with absolutely no...

Did a couple more tests: Brought my laptop into the same room. With Wi-Fi, watched a portion of the same video. No issues whatsoever. Disconnected from Wi-Fi on laptop, plugged the ethernet in. Seemed to work fine, but buffered noticeably less. I then saw that the laptop was behind on a...

At the moment, the Wi-Fi is more reliable than the Ethernet for streaming videos, but I haven't had any issues with gaming. To touch on your time question, it is currently 12:30 Eastern, so theoretically not a busy time. I immediately had the same issue as yesterday evening. I can collect more...

Tom's Hardware friends, I am having an issue I can't explain with my internet. It started roughly a week and a half to 2 weeks ago (for the sake of easiness, we will just say this month). I initially have always had Wi-Fi on my desktop at this house because the fiber access point is the bottom...

Another update: I was finally able to try the drive in my buddy's desktop... It works perfectly fine. We tried the same cable I used and everything. I once again tried a different SATA port in my computer (avoiding SATA port 1 as per the mobo manual) and still the same issue. This pretty much...

Just another update, I wiped the drive and restarted for a second time. This time, I ensured that I did not install any Windows Store games on the drive and kept them on the OS drive. I put a couple of files on the drive (Division 2, EVE Online, COD:MW, Dota 2, all utilize separate services)...

I changed from A to F and the drive is still not functioning correctly.

View: https://imgur.com/a/efiaT4C I took these snips of the resource monitor before the drive dipped back to normal, good performance. There was also another program... Hogan something or other, related to Windows? The extremely long one I THINK has to do with Halo MCC, but I am not 100%...

I uninstalled a secondary antivirus because I thought it was causing the issue (was just super high disk use, not active time). Aside from that, all I have done is add mods for GTA V but according to the resource monitor those are not the items with issues. This time, aside from testing to open...

COLGeek, A couple weeks later, it is back to its old antics. The issues are the same as before.

Correct.

I updated the BIOS from version F10 to F12a, and upon restart the disk is at 0% active time! Do you have any idea why this may be the case?

If I had a second computer to test it with, I would. It only really continues for 5-10 minutes at most after each boot, then is fine. Looking in the Resource Monitor, the NTFS log and master file table, along with some assorted random files on the drive (Halo MCC, Steam-related, even a War...

First off, thanks for providing a plausible solution. It did not help, but thank you anyway. I checked to see which m.2 the OS was installed in, and it was the m.2A, which shares with SATA 1. I have nothing plugged into the SATA 1 port. The m.2M, which has nothing installed, is related to SATA...
