Go figure!
MS is about hiding or removing control.

You should read the whole section(s) on control settings. There are several settings that make things easier – like TargetReleaseVersion instead of Deferral.

That is 100% correct

Yes I can see that now, it is possible to defer but have to use GPedit. I was able to defer for 180days but you have to use the windows update for business.  Trust MS to make it harder for us plebs…

From what I can see it is no longer an option to be able to defer feature updates on Windows 10 pro in version 20H2, I certainly cannot see it where I could on the earlier version I had, 1909 from memory

Yes, I managed to get a fix from Win10 forums, so I am all good.

Got MWB premium running 24/7. Nothing shows up in scans.

Yes, I totally understand where you are coming from, but Why all of a sudden are there so many of these entries, and multiplying daily.

Thanks all, well it has hopefully finally been sorted.  I once again contacted my ISP and the  guy I spoke to really knew his stuff.  He said that considering pretty well all testing had been done and he would change a setting at their end, no idea what it was, but it worked, now getting full beans on all downloads, what an epic this has been.

This is happening any time of day peak and non peak periods. Running ESET internet security and Malwarebytes, do scans every day all clean.

I have been in contact with IDM support who are at a loss as well. the strange thing is last night I was doing a multiple download from 8 sites and the speeds of each download were around 1.5MB/s totaling pretty close to my theoretical max for my connection, so congestion is not an issue, but as soon as I started pausing downloads, instead of the others increasing, they stayed at the same rate. So with only 1 running it was still downloading at 1.5MB/s.  In the past this would have increased to the max for the connection, in this case around 12MB/s.

Something very strange is happening.!!!!

Well here we go again, this I think is just the same fault on going but much worse in as much my downloads are now ADSL speeds.

Once the previous issue seemed to have righted itself, I notice my downloads have now reduced to around 2MB/s where my previous average was in the region of 12MB/s. This is happening on all my home computers, have done a reset of my modem, upgraded to the latest firmware all with no effect. I got a lend of a mates’s modem and still same problem.

If I do an Ookla  speed test the results are excellent around 96mbps and the same with my ISP’s native speed test.  They are insisting I try their own modem and one is on its way to try out. Not holding my breath on that one!! I use IDM for downloads, so I tried disabling that, no effect either. I have attached a few images of 3 downloads happening on IDM noting that all speeds are similar regardless of whether 1 is running or all three.

The speeds are crud no matter what time of day, be it in peak or non peak periods.

I note that I received a text from my ISP last Sunday to say my service had been fixed, as I did not know it had even gone down, that was a bit of a surprise, it seems a coincidence that this latest round of issues happens just after this supposed dropout.  I do not believe in coincidence I must admit.  I mentioned to their support staff about the possibilities of my speeds being throttled and they denied that this is done with their company and no one else is complaining of this possibility, it certainly appears that my data speeds are being throttled, but why and how remains a mystery.

Well that was not the issue either, problem came back,  having said that 3 days later it was back to how it should be without any input at all from me,  sounds like something the NBN might have caused in our area, but I can only surmise that. It is now a week and all operating as it should be.

OK, I may have found the problem, or at least fixed it.  I downloaded TCP Optimiser and ran it as an administrator. I ran it for Windows default, rebooted and then did a download of a 1.3gb file, it was stable through the whole download at 12.25MB/ Sec, no major spikes like before. So it appears as though some settings on this computer somehow were changed and by running TCP Optimiser with the Windows default setting the problem appears fixed, one can only hope.  Thanks all for your excellent feedback.

Paul, did exactly as you said, problem still exists..

Thanks Paul, appreciated, will give that a go..

Have to be a pretty long cable around 30 metres possibly worth a try though..thanks

Nope just a built ‘puter from my local shop.  It is around 5 years old now and the first time this issue has popped up
