Hello,
I have been experiencing slow Ethernet speeds in Windows 10 (about 200 Mb/s), but on Linux I have installed I have full 500 Mb/s which our ISP guarantees.
Tested the speed using https://www.speedtest.net/ as well as torrent based speed test.

My MoBo: Asus ROG Maximus VIII hero
I have installed the newest drivers available for my board as well as tried older ones.

Thank you for any help
 
[SOLUTION]
I found how to fix this problem. It has something to do with Windows config, registers and stuff.
I don't know much about this, but I found a application that fixed this for me.
TCP optimizer - And I selected Windows defaults, now it's working like a charm. 500mb/s
