My internet speed is 56mbps download but im trying to download windows 10 and its downloading at 40kbps. It says it will take over 24hrs to download a 4gb file. How do i fix this?

MS can throttle these downloads when its servers get real busy. I have 35 mbps download speed, and I've seen downloads run at full speed for a few minutes, then slow to a crawl for a few minutes, then speed back up later. If you let the download keep running when you go to bed, I'm betting it'll be completely downloaded before you get up in the morning. Remember that you can do other things while it's downloading.

Good luck.

I connected my iphones hotspot to my computer and the download is taking 15 mins to finish. My wifi was over 24hrs. It's gotta be something with the wifi because an iphone hotspot shouldn't be faster than my wifi

To 'fix', we'd need to discover the problem.

Downloading from where?
Wired or WiFi
Is any other download 'slow'?

Downloading from microsofts website. Using wifi and every other download is slow on wifi and my iphone hotspot is working better than wifi

Well then...your WiFi is the problem. Not your ISP, not Microsoft...but the WiFi between your PC and your router.
Fix that.
