I just bought a brand-new Aspire 3. I've had an Acer for the past 10 years with no issues until an automatic upgrade made everything unusable and I had to replace the laptop. I'm pulling my hair out with the slow speed of the internet. I can use my husband's laptop right beside me with zero problems but this is killing me. Should I return it and buy something better?? All I need it for is Office and internet but I can't have slow internet because it affects my work productivity. Is there a trick to speeding it up?? Thanks!

Hi stephaniepb

- Click Advanced options.
- Click Delivery Optimization(or Choose how updates are delivered depending on the build of your Windows 10).
- Turn the Allow downloads from other PCs(Or Update from more than one place) toggle Off.
- Check if the Windows 10 slow Internet issue has been fixed. If yes, then great! But if the problem persists, move on to Fix 2, below.

Here’s how to do it:
- On your keyboard, press Ctrl, Shift and Esc at the same time to open Task Manager.

Thanks so much! I'm going through the second option now and task manager isn't finding gpedit.msc . It says windows cannot find it and make sure you typed it correctly. Any ideas? Thanks again!

Ah okay... thanks. So my internet is still pretty slow on here. Not sure why... I go onto my husband's laptop and it's way faster so it's not our internet connection...

Coqui13 How do I tell what the model is?? Hmmm... It was pretty inexpensive so I'm sure it's a base model at any rate... And I don't know about ghz either but probably 2. Our internet isn't super fast but my husband's laptop (and my old one) doesn't have this issue. Anti-virus is Windows Defender; brand-new laptop so it hasn't expired. I uninstalled Norton. Thanks!
If I do a network reset, will it delete everything I've already done to fix this??

This is a brand-new laptop... I shouldn't have to reset anything I don't think... I'm so frustrated though.

It was even slower when I first got it a couple of weeks ago, though... so wouldn't that slow the computer down again?? But I'll give it a try. I'm this close to taking the laptop back to the store this weekend. I do a lot of work on the internet and it's seriously torture.0
