      What nic do you have, and were you wireless and then moved to wireless. What driver on the nics? Windows default one? Or manufactures?

          It was wired connection, and the Windows default drivers.

            Lurking by this thread, how old is the PC? I remember some issues several years ago and turning off RSS at a few clients. A quick search yielded articles like:
            https://www.dell.com/support/article/en-ag/sln249772/how-to-resolve-performance-tuning-and-connectivity-issues?lang=en
            https://support.docuware.com/en-us/knowledgebase/article/KBA-35306
            https://serverfault.com/questions/726172/is-rss-receive-side-scaling-in-windows-considered-unstable
            In other words could this be a legacy setting carried forward to Windows 10?

            Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
            When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

              @teamits It's only a couple of years old, so I don't expect that it's a legacy issue. I've installed Win10 a few times on it since then anyhow.
