Windows Mixed Reality causing high ping / slow internet

[cw4ogden]

Any smart people want to hypothesize why mixed reality would kill my internet speeds?

I’ve been bitching at my internet people for months, and turns out it wasn’t them at all.  

It sounds like some bull<profanity>, but it’s definitely mixed reality, and or combination of mixed reality and dcs.

I get 24 mbs normally.  Booting up DCS and mixed reality drops it to 1mbs or less, with unplayable pings.  It doesn’t happen in the startup until the moment mixed reality launches.  And it clears once I close mixed reality.

Bluetooth is off to rule out interference. 

And lastly, every so often it boots just fine, no slowdown. 

My procedure to play DCS is now to reboot over and over while checking internet speed, until I get a lucky boot up.  

Thanks all.

This is a bit of a long shot but you might try searching on youtube for TechYesCity's windows optimization video (he has one for 10 and 11).  It's like a 10 or 20 minute video of him going through all the settings and turning off all of the bloat.  Worst case you have a faster PC at the end best case it resolves your problem.

Sounds like a driver conflict to me. Try turning off Wifi and going over the wire to see if the same thing happens. (you don't explicitly say you're going over the air, but 24 mbps doesn't sound like copper)

If the wire doesn't give the same symptoms, search out new/different drivers for your wifi adapter. (and/or try a different Wifi adapter i.e. a USB NIC)

Long shot, but it's something to try.
