Speedy DSL using Safe With Networking, bogs down with normal boot.
Hey everyone--first time caller, long time listener...
Having issues with my ethernet connected DSL. Speeds come fine to the router/modem (TP-Link W8980) but bog down from there to my laptop (HP 8460P). Tried everything I could think of--new cables, different ports, updated drivers, etc--nothing helped. CCleaner ran and Malwarebytes has nothing coming up as suspicious. I do run accountability software (Covenant Eyes) and thought that might be the culprit, but after uninstalling and running without it for several days I saw no increase in speeds. Using Chrome browser.
The only way I can get the speeds I'm paying for is if I boot in Safe with Networking. Then it all works fine--which means there's most likely something running in my 7 Professional 64 bit background that's throttling the works...
The only question is, what? Is it a process? Service? Attached is the hijack this file. If anybody has a suggestion, please let me know. This has been driving me nuts forever. Gone around and around with my ISP, router/modem folks, Intel, you name it without any solutions. Glad to get you any additional info you need. Thanks.
