With the release of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, many users have been reporting slow internet connections after installing the update. Many websites have also pointed out that the problem is caused by “Window Auto-Tuning”, and disabling the feature will improve speed performance. This is absolutely not true. Microsoft has published a statement noting that disabling Auto-Tuning will definitely limit your internet speeds, and it won’t improve it one bit. The company also says that the feature is consistent throughout all modern operating systems, not just Windows, and you shouldn’t disable it.

How to fix slow internet speeds

If you’re experiencing slow internet speeds, Wi-Fi disconnecting, or limited connection after installing the Anniversary Update, you should investigate elsewhere. You should start by resetting your network adapter on Windows 10 to see if that fixes the problem. You should also try checking with your network adapter manufacturer to see if there is a new driver available. If there isn’t an update, you should try reinstalling the same version of the Wi-Fi (or Ethernet) adapter driver. If other computers around the house are running a different version of Windows, or your other devices with a different operating system, and all your devices are experiencing limited internet connection, then chances are there is a problem with your router or Internet Service Provider (ISP).
