Download Speed Horrible After Windows 10 Pro Fresh Install

[icejawa]

Hello,
I am having some serious problems with my download speed after I fresh installed Windows 10 Pro on my computer. When I had Windows 7 Ultimate my download speed was perfectly fine. This is via Wi-Fi because my PC is in a different room than my router and modem.

-When I start up my PC while running Window 10 Pro the download speed on SpeedTest shows 16 Mbps at least, but after about 30 minutes when I test it again this shows up at 1.30 Mbps. This happens when I restart my PC and/or the router and modem. I get a stable 300 Mbps signal quality

I believe that the problem is my WLAN Network card, but I haven't been able to figure the problem out myself. I have nothing downloading and I am the only one on the internet at all. I do believe my router settings are fine but I will double check again.

Wireless card: Realtek RTL8192CE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC
Router: Belkin N600 Dual-Band N+ Router
Modem: Motorola Surfboard-SB5100

EDIT: I have installed the driver for the networking card via the cd that came with it, and when checking on Realtek's website I do believe there are no newer versions of this driver (2013.12.1117.2014 currently installed)

Could be downloading windows updates in the background and sucking up the bandwidth.
In my shop I put win 10 on my laptop. 20min later internet for the entire premises was pig slow till I turned off the laptop.

Worked out later it was grabbing updates and hogging the line.
It even made browsing on another system on the same network very very slow

Thanks for the reply, I check and my computer says "Your device is up to date. Last checked: Today, ‏‎2:40 PM" but I will check further in the background

No problem.
There is another option to check in the update settings also. Can't remember what it is called off hand (I'm at home with Win 7 just now) but it has a description along the lines of allowing your system to share update data with other machines.
Basically it asks if it can use your system as a bit torrent node so other can get update data from you. Great for them. means yet another source of internet slow down for you.

Old thread, I know... But, I recently had the same issue with the driver that Windows 10 automatically installs. Having a look in the driver section of Realtek's site, it appears the last official driver release was for Windows 7. I installed it in compatibility mode for Windows 7 and it seems to work just fine ever since. Hope this helps!
