Download speed always drops to 0 Ko/s
Hello.
I am trying to re-use my old desktop that I haven't used for 4 years.
Everything seems to run smoothly, really reactive and fast.
Only big problem making it quite unusable:
I can't download anything.
Actually I can surf smoothly, speedtest shows me 15ms ping, 60 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload, youtube videos load instantly,... Also, I am using Discord software to talk with friends, no problem, they hear me nicely.
But when trying to download anything, the download speed drops to about 0 Ko/s after few seconds.
This happens everytime I try to download something via Google Chrome or with a launcher application (for example video game update launcher).
Even some very small softwares of 5-10 Mo can't be downloaded since it starts at 2-3 Mo/s and directly drops to 0-10 Ko/s after 2-3 sec (showing things like days of remaining time).
Other computers have no problem, only this one is facing this issue.
The desktop is directly connected with Ethernet onto my modem. I tried plugging the ethernet cable onto my laptop to check if it was wire related... no problem with downloads.
I tried release/renew my IP, flushing DNS, desabling windows defender and firewall, booting in safe mode, no difference.
The fact this issue does not disappear with safe mode makes me believe it might be hardware or pilote related. But not sure about it. Anyway, looks like even windows update can't download anything (I see two non-major updates available but it fails when trying to install them, probably due to the download issue).
I've read some similar issues onto different forums but can't find a fix for this.
Would love any advice/support.
Thanks.
