Windows 10 1803 Update huge performance penaltys

Recommended Posts

Hey,

 

I've been using Airvpn for years without any problems. UDP and lately SSL were constantly providing 300-450mbit/s (my connection maxes out at 450mbit/s). Following the 1803 Windows update I started suffering HUGE performance problems. UDP Will max. out at 100mbit/s, SSL/TCP will cap at 14mbit/s.

 

This is confirmed to be a windows only problem - Dual booting into arch linux gives me stable 350mbit/s+ on the same configuration and the same airvpn server.

 

This problem is not limited to airvpn, perfect-privacy and ovpn.to suffer the same problem (to name two big providers).

 

I reinstalled windows 10 multiple times of course, nothing that helps there. I disabled all windows defender options, excluded the airvpn and openvpn.exe etc, nothing helped.

 

This is really frustrating. My gut feels like windows 10 is now trying to break up any openvpn connection to monitor the connection, that could explain the huge speed penalty.

 

=> Has anyone here encountered similar problems and maybe even has a solution?

 

Greetings.

Hello,

Yes it is a Windows only problem. If Arch Linux works for you use Linux and stay away from Windows 10.

You can reinstall Windows 10 a zillion times and it will not help.

Windows 10 will eventually break your VPN connection, unless you prevent it.

Your solution is in the GUIDE below.

Enjoy,
