Windows 10: Allowing my windows 10 PC to utilize my new 1 Gigabit internet speeds from Century Link

I recently updated my internet service through Century link to the 1 gigabit speed..... I can get the top speeds on my phone and other devices but my PC that is windows 10 64 bit and the current ethernet card wont allow my to go over 100 MBPS........ I use the hard wire connection to the modem


I want to know how I can change this so that when connected via ethernet cable to 1 gigabit modem the computer allows the fastest speed available..


the century link technician came out and he said it is my ethernet adapter that is not allowing more than 100 MBPS

because when i do the speed test on the apple phone it showing 599 MBPS


thanks in advance for sugestions / solutions

Windows 10 With Gigabit Internet, Updates Lost Speed

Hello

I'm currently having some strange problems with internet speeds on my main Windows 10 machine. I have gigabit internet services but have only been able to get more more then 400mbps rather then the normal 800 - 960mbps.

This machine is custom built using Cat6a cable wired direct to router.

- I have confirmed router is on newest firmware and tired different ports

- I have Trend Micro antivirus on this computer and done scans for virus as well as spyware with Malwarebytes

- Have done the steps online listed for Windows updates and bandwidth limiter

- Confirmed latest NIC driver

- Disabled all startup items to see if any change

- On a fresh install of Windows I will have amazing speeds until the system does the updates.

I have confirmed with another computer wired that speeds are good without any issues. If it helps I do have a ASUS ROG motherboard. Running Windows 10 Pro. Any help on this would be great or if someone else has experienced an issue like this.

Thanks in Advance

Wyatt

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
