It seems Steam is slowing down your downloads.
Internet performance and download speeds are separate factors. Steam controls how fast files are delivered, so even at 200Mbps, you might experience slower results. Watching multiple 4K videos on YouTube while a game downloads can help you gauge actual performance from your ISP.
I responded to another person explaining precisely what is occurring, noting it has been happening since I started using Windows.
Go back to the earlier operating system and check if that fixes the issue. They keep controlling your download speed.
I use both systems and it feels completely different—like switching from a 70-80 Steam OS version (25-30) to zero in an instant, while Windows behaves differently.
there are many factors involved in steam downloads. - understanding how busy steam servers are is important when you're near gigabit speeds. The actual download speed you get depends on either your ISP connection or your Wi-Fi (if used), whichever is slower. The client and your computer's processing power determine the speed of the download. Steam starts installing during the download, so if a game is especially demanding on installation, you might see slower speeds than expected. This is due to the other part of the process being the limiting factor.
