Ya I feel dumb now but thank you anyway.
Having trouble with Kryta diving point #8 in Iron Marches South West of Sunken Halls of Clarent . It won’t give me the achievement . Is this bugged ,mixed up in the achievement guide or am I doing something wrong. I’ve tried diving to different points but it doesn’t seem to work. I’ve done the others for Kryta with no problems . Any advice would be helpful .
Because of the imbalance of matches ,band wagoning ,no one will fight unless they outnumber you ,gank squads camping spawn points or outside keeps,the rude whispers, the hacks (speed hacks ,macro bots ,invincibility hacks) ,exploiting ,imbalanced professions , profession bias an hatred, jerk commanders , meta BS , massive zergs ,condition cancer , imbalance of excessive control effects and lack of stability. The list goes on and on .
It’s broken and and no fun . I’ve quit WvW .
I couldn’t put this in one post because of a 5000 character limit. Give it a try see if it helps.
Add-On Congestion Control Provider
A regular network connection will send data in small blocks initially, increasing these only gradually to help avoid network congestion. Compound TCP takes a different approach, ramping up your TCP window size much more aggressively, and so enabling this may improve performance.
If NETSH currently reports that your “Add-On Congestion Control Provider” is “none,” then, try entering the command:
netsh int tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp
— and rebooting to enable Compound TCP.
If performance is worse (or you’re currently using CTCP, and want to see how your system runs without it), enter:
netsh int tcp set global congestionprovider=none
— to turn it off entirely.
ECN Capability
Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) provides a way for routers to signal network congestion without dropping packets. Whether it will improve performance or not depends on many different factors, including whether your router supports it. You’re not sure? Microsoft’s Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool will tell you more (and although it claims to support only Windows XP or Vista, we found it also delivered useful results on a Windows 7 system).
If NETSH reports your ECN Capability as “disabled” or “default” then enter:
netsh int tcp set global ecncapability=enabled
— and reboot to turn it on.
If your router doesn’t support ECN, though, or your connection has no significant packet loss, then you probably need to leave ECN turned off. So if it’s currently on, and you’re not sure why, enter:
netsh int tcp set global ecncapability=disabled
— and reboot to disable ECN, and see how that affects your performance.
Test carefully
There are plenty of options to explore here, then, but be careful. Make a note of your original settings before you change anything, for instance, in case you need to restore them later.
Only change one setting at a time.
And try to find some objective benchmarks, like an online internet speed test, or the time it takes to transfer a set of files across your network, to measure the success (or otherwise) of any tweak. These should represent your typical internet or network use, as much as possible (so don’t measure FTP download performance if you never grab files this way in real life). Repeat these tests a few times, note the average and the range, and you’ll be in a good position to figure out which Windows network settings deliver the best results.
Direct Cache Access
Windows 7 included a new technology called Direct Cache Access (DCA), which reduces system overheads by allowing a network controller to transfer data directly into your CPU’s cache. That sounds good, but again there are compatibility issues: your controller, chipset and processor must all support DCA for it to work, which is probably why it’s turned off by default. If NETSH reports that Direct Cache Access is disabled on your PC, though, you can try turning it on yourself. Enter:
netsh int tcp set global dca=enabled
— and reboot to turn the feature on. Re-enter the command, replacing “=enabled” with “=disabled” if there are problems and you need to turn it off.
NetDMA State
Windows 7 also supports NetDMA, a technology that allows network adapters to transfer data directly to your application, again without needing your CPU to assist. This should be turned on, but if it’s marked as “disabled” on your PC then a quick NETSH command will fix this. Enter:
netsh int tcp set global netdma=enabled
— and reboot to turn the technology on. Use the same command, replacing “=enabled” with “=disabled” if you have any issues with NetDMA and want to turn it off again.
Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level
Network tuning used to mean manually configuring settings like your TCP Receive Window (RWIN), which defines the amount of data your PC can receive without sending an acknowledgement. And this was tricky, as no one setting would cover all situations. Fortunately, Windows Vista and 7 both support auto-tuning, where the system automatically changes RWIN to suit the current network conditions, and this can significantly improve performance.
Others have reported that auto-tuning can actually reduce network speeds in some situations, though, so you may want to try all its possible settings. If NETSH reports “Autotuninglevel” as anything other than “Normal”, then, and you haven’t changed the setting yourself, enter the command:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=enabled
— and reboot to restore its default value.
If you find this setting slows you down or causes other issues, then many guides simply recommend that you turn auto-tuning off entirely, but there are other options that may deliver better results. Entering:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=restricted
— will still allow some variation in your receive window, while reducing the chance of problems. And the command:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=highlyrestricted
— will vary the receive window even more conservatively, though still enough to perhaps improve overall network performance.
Still no good? Then entering:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
— will finally turn the technology off entirely.
Click “Start,” type CMD, right-click the cmd.exe link and select “Run as administrator” to launch an elevated command prompt, then type:
netsh int tcp show global
— and press “Enter” to view your system’s current settings.
Then print this out, take a screen grab, or otherwise note the settings — you’re probably going to change them, and it’ll be useful to have a record of the original values just in case you want to undo your tweaks later.
Chimney Offload State
One of the first options listed here is “Chimney Offload State.” It sounds a little cryptic, but the idea is a straightforward one: to transfer various network connection processing tasks from your PC’s CPU to the network adapter, thus freeing up valuable processor time for other things.
This is generally a very good thing, then, and in theory at least Windows should turn this feature on whenever it detects that your hardware can handle it. So if the NETSH report says Chimney Offload State is “enabled” (or “automatic”) on your PC then everything is working as it should, and you can move on to the next setting.
You can’t rely on Windows activating this setting, though, so if Chimney Offload State is marked as “disabled” then you might want to try turning it on manually. Just type:
netsh int tcp set global chimney=enabled
— and press “Enter,” then reboot to try the new setting. If it’s better, great; if you have problems, open another elevated command prompt and enter:
netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
— to turn the technology off again.
Hey folks I found this and it seems to help somewhat with my connection .It works on windows 10
It helps if you have some idea of how the command prompt works.
I’ll add this as I found it and see if it will help you .Remember to do one at a time to see if their is any benefit.Because it can be reverted easily if you remember where your at.
Carefully read each section and only do one at a time .
If your computer explodes or opens a worm hole into an alternate reality that’s your problem.I don’t hold any responsibility for my own actions let alone yours.
********USE AT OWN RISK*******
Use hidden Windows tweaks to speed up your Internet and network connection
Windows Vista and 7 include valuable features carefully designed to optimize your Internet and network speeds. Do these work for you, though? It’s hard to say, because they’re so deeply buried that there’s no obvious way to see how they’re set, or turn them on or off — and so many people don’t realize the options even exist.
If you’re looking at optimizing your network performance, then, you should probably start by seeing which of these technologies is enabled on your PC — and this applies even if you think you know already, as there’s no telling when a Windows tweaking tool or other package might have decided to “optimize” your connection without telling you exactly what it’s doing.

Their will never be any population stability with linking , fancy algorithms ,merges or what ever idea comes up until they get server to server traffic down to a sane level.No linking will work using algorithms from the one week ,when masses move from server to server the next.Mergers won’t work with masses moving from server to server from one week to the next.
The reason? No one can’t predict the future.
The ONLY way to stabilize the populations is to restrict transfers on an account to account basis over one year. First transfer no access to WvW for one week second transfer no access to WvW for 2 weeks Third transfer no access to WvW for 4 weeks and so on . Then account gets reset for WvW after one year.
Yes theirs going to be whining. But it’s the only way to stop the constant imbalance and massive blobbing by fair weather players and guilds.
To add. their needs to be diminishing returns applied based on the ration of players in each sever at a given time at a given location . example if the ratio is 1 for server A . 5 for server B and 10 on server C then server C players get 1/10 the returns if fighting server A ,5/10 or 1/2 return when fighting players in server C. If your on the disadvantage side then the opposite happens. Server A would get 10 X and server B would get 2 X when fighting sever C. By returns I mean drops from kills and points per tick (PPT). This would stop the 5 or 10 to 1 gankers because they would get nothing worth while for the kill.Put a kill zone of say 1500 around each player .If 5 people of the same sever attacks 1 person in that 1500 kill zone they get 1/5 the returns for the kill.Where as the disadvantaged player gets 5x the returns per kill .
Why don’t you just uninstall at the Programs and Features of Windows.Works every time.
Some people do use macros, but without a screenshot, you have no proof. We just have your word to go off of it. And considering how bad the majority of people in this game are, and their terrible reaction speed, its not really believable without proof anyway. I’ve had people rage whisper me after i’ve bursted them down saying I use macros, which I don’t. You can do multiple actions in a split second if you’re fast and have good keybinds.
Screen shots can be difficult because of the speed in which the situation happens.Best thing is if you have a video recording of the suspect using a capture like Shadow Play.But many people don’t have or know how to set up such programs.In most cases its best just report the situation immediately at the time its happening or as soon as possible and let ANet look at it.I’m sure they have logs of some sort they can look at or watch a person if enough reports are made from others.Regardless whether or not its a legitimate ,if it looks to perfect or suspicious ,just report it.
Unfortunately no one really knows how seriously these reports are taken because no data is revealed to the public. How many people are caught and banned? How serious are vulnerabilities to the game taken?What security measures are taken to block third party programs from gaining access to the client or dat file? What monitoring is being done?
Theirs no shame in admitting that something is wrong and that showing that action is being taken to correct the problems .But keeping quiet ,hiding and not proving that action is taken is shameful. Especially when people are seeing the same "cheats’ being used for the past 4 years.
I can understand we would all like to play a non policed game with a basis of trust in others to conduct themselves with maturity and “fair play”. But this just isn’t realistic. Some people don’t believe in “fair play”. They will use such excuses like “improving their gaming experience” to justify the use of macros/macro bots ,hacks ,exploits ,spying ,sabotage or other unscrupulous actions to bolster their own egos when in fact they are just really lousy players. I can imagine a psychoanalysis of these people in real real life would be very scary to even a hardened expert.
You could also try creating a short cut of GW2 client. Right click and open properties. In the target line add A space then type -uninstall. Apply then run shortcut.
But it seems theirs an issue with windows and that may need repair.
This seems to be common but unfortunately ANET or NCSoft have no control over any servers other than their own. If your lag spikes occur during peak times ,which in my case is around 2:00 pm UTC to about 10:00 pm UTC, then its most likely congestion.
In some cases server nodes will throttle some ports like 6112 (WoW ,NCSoft gaming port) .So try port 80 (HTTP) or port 443 (HTTPS) by creating a short cut of GW2 client and editing the Target Line by adding at the end of the line a space then type -clientport 80 or -clientport 443. You can create those short cuts and just leave them in the GW2 program folder.You can find the GW2 client application in the Local Disk(c:)/ Program Files /Guild Wars 2
Just a quick note to Canadians ,Under CRTC regulations ,throttling is illegal in Canada.because it’s considered a direct interruption to service.But it won’t help complaining if the throttering is in another country.
Some other things you can try are turning off any nonessential background apps and services that require internet connection. Run GW2 without firewall and antivirus which could be some what risky but unlikely to be a problem just running GW2. Try using an Ethernet connection instead of WiFi to your router or modem.This is not usually an issue unless you turn on a Microwave or unknowingly sharing a WiFi connection.
If one particular server is in question try ,contacting the owner of that server and describe in detail your issue.They may or may not help,but be courteous.I found I got more action being nice than angry. You probably won’t get instant results but expect a couple days for any to respond.I also found the GW2 support team to be very helpful and kind. I got a response quickly and the information was extremely helpful .GO SUPPORT TEAM!!
Now some notes about Ping Plotter (PP). PP uses Tracert/Trace route and Ping to find latency and packet loss in your connection.But can give false negatives because some server nodes will filter ping requests. If you see something like blank blank blank or * * * then 100% packet loss then that node is filtering ping requests and is not a fault in connection. Also PP sends continuous pings which can give false readings as well. I prefer to just use the command prompt or WinMTR .These use less resources to run .WinMTR also uses continuous pings but seems to have less impact on the reading.
If anyone has anything else that may be helpfull please feel free to add what you can.
The problem is that the linking system doesn’t take in account the number of people in a server that play WvW. It’s based on total server population of a server. TC is not a dominant WvW server like BG or Maguuma.TC is a PvE and RP dominant server and has been for some time. Because of this it’s hard to keep WvW guilds in TC. Compared to other servers TC has very few guilds primarily playing WvW in relation to it’s total server population.
I can’t say that this is a problem for other people but I don’t like big blobs not because of the challenge, but because my internet connection ( 1 Mbs) won’t handle it. I find this to ,especially be, a problem in tier1 a majority of the time. Tier 2 doesn’t normally present a problem.
IP over Avian Carriers (IPoAC). During the last 20 years, the information density of storage media and thus the bandwidth of an avian carrier has increased 3 times as fast as the bandwidth of the Internet
Just a little humor
Regardless whether or not ANET takes the policy serious is irrelevant. Player conduct needs to be respected by players.Focusing attention on one player because that player is enjoying the game playing by the rules is simply unethical .I wouldn’t want to be responsible for a player quitting the game or worse because that person was unexpectedly targeted.It seems to me that if some people get their kicks trolling ,harassing by openly organizing the targeting other people should be seeking psychological help.
Doors need to have a minimum of 5 players attacking for 10 seconds or one peace of siege attacking a door or wall.It would be highly unlikely for even 5 players to PvD a door down with out being noticed .Having a minimum number of players to “tap” doors would be a better discouragement to contesting WPs
Camps must have immediate contesting upon attack.
While playing Guild Wars 2, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the Game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players. This includes posting insulting, offensive, or abusive comments about players, repeatedly sending unwanted messages, reporting players maliciously, attacking a player based on race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. Hate speech is not tolerated.
you may not organize nor be a member of any pledges or groups within Guild Wars 2 that are based on or espouse any racist, sexist,
anti-religious, anti-ethnic, anti-gay, or other hate mongering philosophies.
You just proved conclusively that thieves are over powered .
Seriously ,their needs to be bonus war score points awarded for players that intentionally disconnect to avoid being stomped. 10 points minimum .It’s becoming really annoying to defeat some one just to have them disconnect to avoid the loss.
I would even go as far as saying that its an exploit and match manipulation by use of an exploit.
I apologize for my errors I my last post .But my point still remains that its not that hard to make or acquire ascended gear.I have six full sets that I made myself and 1 set from just drops. I have changed the stats on those sets at least dozen times in the mystic forge . I have so many rings I’m salvaging most of them.Back packs.rings and other accessories are ridiculously easy to get in the new maps.Oh ya you don’t do PvE or craft .Well that’s your undoing.Why the heck are you even playing for.It’s like wanting to go to the Olympics but you don’t want to train.It,s getting to the point where people just want it so easy all they want to do is stand in Lions Arch and collect prizes all day for nothing.
You reap what you sow.
Hmm the third specialization .How abut the Ranger/Druid /Enviro kitten. Give full crowd condi clears and retaliation with high DPS protests.
The thing with trapper runes is that as soon as the trap is tripped you are revealed.even stacking traps for the stacked stealth will reveal you when tripped. If the player tripping the trap has retaliation that will be cast on you know matter how far away you are.
In PvP the armor you buy is not usable in any other environment other than PvP. Also its limited in that infusions , can’t be added to any armor,weapon or accessorys.Allowing ascended gear and weapons to be openly purchased in WvW would make the specialized system of crafting and the collection of materials completely pointless game wide, destroying an important aspect of the game. By presetting armor and weapon limits exclusive to WvW like that in PvP would destroy the vibrancy and variety currently available in WvW.The game would become stagnant .Even if they did have separate WvW armor and weapons would be a programmers nightmare based on the current mechanics of the game.
If your expectations are instant gratification in a complex game such as Guild wars 2 then maybe Tic-Tac-Toe is more your speed.
(edited by Mokk.2397)
I simply don’t understand how people are having so much trouble with ascended armor and weapons. Collecting materials doing crafting and increasing the level of crafting is apart of the game . Aside from Scribe ,it’s so easy to do .Changing armor stats at the mystic forge is relatively cheap now compared to the old way of having to create a whole new set.
Holy smokes ,if you put the effort in you get the rewards.
If you make the game to easy then theirs no fun in it.
Careful folks ,Any bad talk about any of the over stacked servers will get this thread closed.
Because of the broken stealth of thieves and mesmers I would even go further to say that stealth traps should be instant cast much the same way that siege disablers work.
Standard font size is based on the resolution of most computer screens at the time and during the life time of the game.At the time that GW2 came out the most common resolution for games 16:9 aspect ratio was 1920 x1080 and under.So font size is set for easiest reader at those resolutions.3840×2160 (4k) and 8192×4608 (8k) are relatively new and very few people have those types of screens. Best bet now is set your resolution back to a more common one until the rest of us catch up to you.
Not saying that this may be a problem but I had that key delay issue while running Nvidias Shadow Play.Not certain if a fix was made in recent Nvidia updates.
Warning: Do to the easy availability to programs that can interrupt internet access I urge people to NOT display their IP addresses or the IP addresses displayed in Ping Plotter on any open forum.
All though Ping Plotter(which uses Traceroute to do it work) can be a some what help full tool it can also give false information since it uses ICMP echo requests .Many severs block and/or filter ICMP echo requests do to security reasons (example: DDOS attacks).Because of this you may see some servers not responding (ICMP echo reqests are blocked)or servers that show high latency (ICMP echo requests not prioritized ). I used Ping Plotter to get a general idea of the path but had to ping individual hops (using command line)to get more accurate information.
This is getting so bad that the game is becoming completely unplayable.Whether people are in PvP ,WvW or PVE the latency /skill lag has become a serious problem.
I myself have ,in the last 2 months, have reinstalled my operating system 3 times. Uninstalled and reinstalled and updated drivers more times than I care to mention.Run equipment tests .Uninstalled and reinstalled the game 4 times .Done repairs on dat file to many times .Run the game on different ports . Using the lowest possible settings .Had my internet provider look at my connection and system numerous times.I’ve run speed tests .tracerts ,pathpings ,pings, jitter tests, throttering tests. Uninstalled every app using or potentially using network bandwidth. Blocked and shutdown automatic updates. Ran without firewall and antivirus. I’ve tried everything.
Still when I get near some people ,whether in Lions Arch ,PvE or WvW l, in the game my ping will spike up to 2- 4 Kbs and sit there for up to 20 seconds or more or just disconnect .Ive run in blobs (zergs) before and never had this much trouble and it’s getting worse.
This issue isn’t isolated because after talking to others that play they are having similar problems.
A Lot of people have become so discourage that they don’t even feel that putting in tickets is worth while.
If the foundation of the game is so unstable that people cant play ,then all the new content and fancy crap in the Black Lion Trader becomes meaningless.
I don’t think any one who runs Druid/Ranger main is sobbing about damage .I certainly don’t. the damage is fine as is .The argument is relevancy on the battle field.Many say that Druid?Ranger can’t bring AOE to the table .Well that’s untrue if you’ve every run a axe /torch trapper.Plenty of might can be stacked off of torch and ,if placed correctly at trigger, fire trap.Poison trap for weakness field.Frost aura off of frost trap.and healing spring gives very good healing on a blast.Not to mention some pets have AOE effect on F2. The misleading idea that a retaliation will kill a ranger is also untrue.Sure if you just blindly throw shots off without looking to see whats going on ,that may happen, but I find it rare.Rangers can’t do front line is also untrue .If rigged up right with the right weapons and traits a ranger can survive as well as any medium or light class.Basically My point is ,because rangers have been neglected for a period of time, a lot experimentation hasn’t been done to find the right niche.I myself run three different armor sets for WvW ranging from extremely high dps ,high condition,and very high defense.
The point of the game is to have fun ,experiment.Groups need to stop being so militant .lighten up and allow people just to have fun.It’s not the end of the world if you lose a battle or a match.Guild Wars isn’t a job.It’s entertainment.
I like the new tags .Not so much clutter on the screen.Find it much easier to pick out a target .
I was wondering if anyone knows or has used the Leatrix Latency Fix for Guild Wars 2.
First I’d like to know if its all right to use if it works. I wouldn’t want to get band if it causes ANET servers trouble.
Does it work and will it cause hardware issues later on.
Some input from a Anet person would be appreciated.
Sounds like a scam . But on the other hand, if certain “Server War Council” players have that much power to manipulate the locks on a server then that warrants a serious look by ANET.Of course great care needs to be taken before developing conspiracy theories without proof. If it sounds to good to be true,It is.
Not sure what your doing, but my static power on my ranger is well over 2500 without consumable buff and that isnt even with full berzerker gear.
For that swamp stalker do we get a swamp donkey (Moose) for a pet?
Longbow is good as it is. It’s a perfectly balanced weapon
Agreed but barrage should have the same area of effect as similar skills like meteor shower.Since each meteor has its own area, they may hit outside the skill’s AoE circle if the center or a meteor’s AoE is close enough to the border.
Spirits are some what weak without traiting for them with Nature Vengence.Also the lack of mobility makes them wasted considering how far a group can move out of the 1000 range in the 20 second cool down let alone 60 second duration.
I like the pet but their is an awful lot of overlap and repetitive pet skills not to mention a whole class of pets (Porcine) that do exactly the same thing .And alot of useless pets as well that simply won’t synergize with any realistic build . Some times I just have the pet on passive simply for the F2 (example :Red Moa or Jungle Stalker).It would be nice if there was a stability pet,stun breaking pet and another condi removal pet.And some pets need to be more beneficial to a group.This would bring more variation to the ranger and benefit to a party.
I would also like to bring up spirits. Spirits might be better off in the pet gallery .To even make any build with them remotely viable they need to be mobile .
Before you condemn a specific skill or trait on any class you need to look at similar skills on other classes. Consider Basilix Venom for instance Does that not seem over powered and annoying .If you don’t carry condi removal , stun breakers or stability thats your fault not the fault of the skill used on you.
All this please nerf this or nerf that because people won’t counter various skills /traits calling them “Overpowered” is getting so old and worn out.
I was having sleeping issues unrelated to gaming but my doctor did mention that video games can cause sleeplessness and said that taking a hour after gaming to read or just relaxing will help.
Photosensitive Seizures:
If your start experiencing headaches ,dizziness ,blurred or altered vision ,nausea , lightheadedness ,jerking ,shaking ,twitching ,disorientation or convulsion you should discontinue playing immediately and consult your doctor.
Outnumber team should get nukes.
I think it’s pretty simple of an explanation. Some people are just kittens
You can close the thread now.
I think what people fail to understand is that while the DDoS is in progress the problem is happening to all servers for ANET not just a few selected ones. I believe ANETs team was doing the best they could judging from the varying providers they were switching to regularly all day. I was Tracert-ing trying to figure out if it was something going on at my end.Anyway running the servers as is during an attack is allows the technicians to diagnose the problem better because some DDoS attacks are harder to filter out than others.So they need to know what is legitimate traffic and what isn’t. Yes it can be annoying but better than not being able to fix it by shutting things off.
I stopped using Shadow play because it was causing keyboard and mouse latency.Haven’t tried the new update yet Version 3.1.0.52.But I would definitely try a clean reinstall of your mouse drivers. download newest drivers for your mouse go to device manager and uninstall your mouse .The generic drivers should remain.Reboot your computer.Install the downloaded drivers.Reboot your computer.I have windows 10 and it seems it’s having trouble installing drivers properly.Might be wise to do a clean reinstall of any devices manually if their giving you trouble.
I wonder if the amount of damage to the supervisor makes a difference.I’ve notice when taking camps for instance that I’ve been grated first dibs because I immediately attacked the supervisor while others dealt with other NPCs even when they had more of their guild present.
How about powder keg sites to demolition walls and doors.Be funny as heck getting blown up trying to run kegs to a wall or door as people shoot at you.
I have the same issue of spikes as high as 4k and wild disconnects even in unpopulated PvE areas.
I’m trying a few things to help me but it’s just shooting in the dark.
From what I understand , windows 10 seems to have a problem installing some things correctly.I’m running a Nvidia GPU so I completely uninstalled the drivers from the device manager then rebooted .Downloaded the most current drivers, installed checking the “Clean Install” button them then rebooted .So far so good.I also downloaded the Direct X 9c and installed that as well.Seems things started to work better. I figured with DX12 that should be fine but it seems from further investigation I figured wrong .Doesn’t make sense does it but since when did windows ever make sense.Going to give it try for a bit and see what happens.Might even manually reinstall sound and ethernet .Really not sure what the graphics drivers have to do with connection issues but its happened to me before since the introduction of windows 10.I also set the windows updates to occur when I’m not using the computer and killed delivery optimization completely in the sevices . Seems some of the settings features don’t turn off as they should.
Windows XP was a ball of band aids and hay wire .Vista was over nerotic .Windows 7 worked very well.But It seems microsoft decided to De-evolve windows 10 for the sake of Bing and stupid apps.
