Extreamly high ping after fresh install of Windows 10

[PremiumPillow]

A day or two after fresh installing Windows 10 on my PC I started to get really bad problems with high ping of around 250ms-3000ms, my ping is usually around 30ms. I don't know what could have caused this or why it even started. I have tried tons of fixes and nothing has seemed to work. I never had problems with ping this bad before, and it is not in just one game, it seems to be any online game I play would have very high ping.

I am using a wireless adapter (Glam Hobby 600Mbps AC600 Dual Band USB WiFi Dongle) but I haven't changed it or did anything to it before the lag started, it is also pretty close to brand new since I just bought it back in November.

Some of the many fixes I've tried are:
Disabling Virus Protections
Disabling Windows Firewall
Disabling Microsoft DVR
Disabling all background processes
Running the game in Windows 7, and 8 compatibility mode
Changing a plethora of settings

Nothing has worked and I have no clue at all what could be causing it. My internet speeds are not even that bad either. I get on average 50Mbps download and 9Mbps upload. If anyone has any clue or ideas to fix this I would really appreciate the help.

So did things; i.e., gaming actually work okay for that first "day or two"?

Is only your PC affected?

Did you download and install the applicable driver for the Glam Hobby Dongle via the manufacturer?

Could be that some update was applied after your fresh install and as a consequence performance is now suffering.

Use Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Performance Monitor to monitor system activities and resources.

Double check the wireless adapter's configuration: E.g., Try setting "auto configure" to manual settings to match the router. Or vice versa if already auto.

Do you have administrative access to your router? Check the logs (if available and enabled) to see if any errors or performance related information is being logged.

Gaming did work for just a small bit of time.

I am pretty sure it is only mine but I will ask when I get a chance.

I did download drivers for my wireless card using the disk that came with it.

There were 3 updates around the time of this happening (For some reason 2 of them can not be uninstalled).

I disabled all background processes so I don't believe it was any system activities that caused it.

In response to the "Setting auto configure" I am unsure of how to do so.

I do have access to the administrator. After looking at the logs, nothing seemed to be happening at the times I was in game.


The three updates could have been the problem, but as I pointed out two of which can not be uninstalled. The third one though, is a Flash update, I am pretty sure that couldn't cause any problems, should I uninstall and test anyways?

Download the wireless card adapter drivers directly from the manufacturer - the disc is likely to be out of date.

Also try using a USB extension cable to raise the dongle up and about. Does not take much sometimes to reach some "threshold" signal level and have the wireless connectivity drop and/or stop.

Auto configure is done via the wireless adapter configuration settings. E.g., check speed & duplex: match to router manually. Or change to automatic if manually set.

Try other combinations of settings but change only one thing at a time and keep notes should you need to reverse some change.

You might also try the built-in Windows Trouble shooter - see what, if anything, that it finds and fixes.

Also feel the dongle from time to time. See how warm or even hot it gets. That can be a sign of trouble.

As for the Flash update you are likely correct about that; however, no harm in uninstalling it just as a matter elimination.

I used the USB extension cable thinking it would really do much... and to my surprise it actually worked. My ping is actually better than ever. I have no clue how that even worked, or why. But thank you so much for the suggestion, it worked surprisingly well.
