Thread: 3 Win 10 PCs/All Download Speeds Dropped from 1 Gigabit to 200 Mbps!

Hi, first time posting, really would appreciate help. Comcast 1Gig service worked from December 2017 until about 2 mos ago. 3 pcs all running Win 10 Pro affected. Problems exists in Firexfox, IE, Edge and Chrome! Output of Arris SB8200 modem tests indicate 1.1Gb/sec on Comcast test rig running Safarai. 2 desktops are running Gigabyte boards with two different LAN cards. 3rd pc is a Toshiba laptop with a different LAN card. All ethernet connections are CAT6 cabling.All 3 pcs running Win 10 direct connect to modem test (Ookla) at 200 - 300 Mb/s. All 3 pcs booting to Linux test at about 980 Mb/sec behind router and switch! 

Definitely appears to be a Windows issue and so far Microsoft has not come up with a solution. ALL tweaks suggested on Internet have been tried. Msft also did a new install of the October Windows Update in case that had somehow created a problem. I am pasting the results of the SC TCP/IP Analyzer and some system info below. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

SG TCP/IP Analyzer

IP Address: 75.67.252.127 (c-75-67-252-127.hsd1.nh.comcast.net)
Client OS: Windows 10
Browser: Firefox 66.0
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0
Please Read the Analyzer FAQ if the above is not your IP address.
TCP options string = 020405b401010402
MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.
MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.
Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 64240
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 64240

In Windows 10, unless "TCP/IP Auto-Tuning" is disabled, only the Current TCP Window is displayed. Use the latest TCP Optimizer for tweaking.
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other RWIN values that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
64240 (up to 2 Mbit lines, depending on latency. MSS * 44) <-- current value
128480 (1-5 Mbit lines, depending on latency. MSS * 44 * 2)
256960 (2-15 Mbit lines, depending on latency. MSS * 44 * 2^2)
513920 (10-30 Mbit lines, depending on latency. MSS * 44 * 2^3)
1027840 (30-100 Mbit lines depending on latency. MSS * 44 * 2^4)
bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test):

Your current TCP Window limits you to: 2570 kbps (321 KBytes/s) @ 200ms latency
Your current TCP Window limits you to: 1028 kbps (128 KBytes/s) @ 500ms latency
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 115 hops
TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000 (0)

@jamesbowers I would suggest a system restore? Restore it to the time in which everything was okay.
