Me too. Ditched it 3 years ago.

You said you're attached to your modem via a cable vs wifi.
Windows 11 prioritizes wifi and it looks there anytime you open a new app that needs an internet connection. It slows everything down.
Try this:
Open Network & Internet settings.
Click Change adapter settings
On your ethernet right click and open properties
highlight IPV4 and click properties
click advanced
uncheck "Automatic metric"
Put a "1" in the interface metric box.
This tells windows to set your ethernet connection as the top priority. that way it won't spin its wheels checking and double checking for a wifi connection.
Exactly. He just has to remember to disable it again anytime he restarts the machine.
Computer doesn't come with a wifi card so thats a non issue. So far my thinking is that it was the power setting. I'm going to check the bios this evening to see if they've underclocked the ram.
