New pc all downloads limited to ~500kbps

Thank you, I found this setting disabled after just getting mbit fibre installed. Windows was limiting me to around mbit.

I tested my networked cables with iperf and they are good for mbit. Still running linux I am able to achieve mbit, so looks like windows is the bad guy here for me. Thankyou again though this has made things much better. Thank you very much, it solved my connection being stuck at mbps when it is supposed to be 1Gbps.
