Laptop download speed slows down when in use?

Hello, when I'm not using my laptop and the screen saver is on, my download speed doubles. I'd like this download speed to remain the same even when I'm only using Word, etc. I'd appreciate any suggestions for a solution. 😀

Hello! The problem with the reduced download speed when you use your laptop can have different causes. Here are some solutions you can try:

1. **Check background processes**: There could be programs or services in the background that consume bandwidth. Check the Task Manager (Strg+Shift+Esc) and close unnecessary applications.

Two. **Energy saving mode**: Your laptop could provide less power for the network in the energy saving mode. Make sure you have enabled the high-performance mode:

– Open the settings.

– Go to “System” > “Energy & Battery”.

– Select the energy saving plan “Höchstgeld”.

3. ** Network adapter settings**: Sometimes the energy management of the network adapter can reduce the speed. Change this setting as follows:

– Open the device manager (click the Start menu and select Device Manager).

– Find your network adapter, right-click it and select “properties”.

– Go to the Energy Management tab and deactivate the option “Computer can turn off the device to save energy”.

4. **Refresh drivers**: outdated or faulty network drivers can impair performance. Update the drivers for your network adapter:

Go back to the device manager.

– Select right-click on your network adapter and “Update Driver”.

Five. **Run Network Diagnostic**: Windows provides a built-in network diagnostic that can detect and troubleshoot:

– Go to “Settings” > “Network and Internet”.

– Select “Status” and click “Resolve Network Problems”.

6. **WLAN channel change**: If you use WLAN, it can be that your channel is overloaded. You can change the WLAN channel in the router:

– Log in to your router (usually via IP address 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1).

– Search the WLAN settings and change the channel.

These steps should help you improve the download speed even while using your laptop.
