Windows 10 might cause connection problems or packet loss.
I examined all possible ways to verify, but I still face some issues that seem unusual. It appears to be related to Windows 10. This problem mainly impacts my online gaming sessions—Fortnite, Dota 2, and Elder Scrolls. When I’m playing, my ping is good, but every 20 to 30 seconds the game freezes for a few seconds. During those moments, I’m unable to move or shoot accurately, and I end up a few meters away from my position. The issue doesn’t last long, usually between 2 to 3 seconds. In Fortnite, the reported packet loss is around 100/150%, while in Dota 2 and PubG it doesn’t display any loss. I’ve tried several fixes: using a USB-to-LAN adapter didn’t help, reinstalling Windows via the "reset PC" option and wiping the system drive didn’t resolve it, updating BIOS and drivers also failed. Currently, I suspect a network problem rather than a hardware fault. I connected my phone to the same Wi-Fi as my LAN setup, then used my mobile as a hotspot. When switching to 4G data, everything works perfectly; however, with Wi-Fi it mirrors the LAN experience. Since my mobile behaves like a modem and Windows doesn’t recognize the connection type, I’m leaning toward a connectivity issue. There’s another PC with Windows 7 on the same network that works flawlessly, so it’s likely my internet connection is the culprit. Would you consider reinstalling Windows 10 using a USB drive instead of the built-in method?
UPDATE: Not sure if it's random, but apperently disabling and enabling network adapter fixes packetloss for some time...? p.s. USB LAN i bought to test had similar "prefix" as my onboard lan (onboard is Realtek PCIe GbE Family controller, and usb one was Realtek USB XX (some latters) Family controller).. Might be that some kind of controller makes problem with connection
