IT WORKED here in 2020! I created an account just to comment that the OP's fix worked. I have 300 mbs and was getting that speed over Wifi and all laptops, but not my gaming desktop. My gaming desktop was only getting 150 mbs. I ran the TCP Optimizer and set it back to Windows Default and boom the next speed test I ran I got my full 300 mbs speed.
OMG, I have never been a fan of 3rd party TCP utilities but being desperate, I went to Speedguide and downloaded their TCP Optimizer. It made about 18 changes in the registry but sadly it went too fast and I did not get a screenshot of it. It frickin worked! I am now getting my 70Mb down speeds.
I would never have believed that program would have worked and if I had not tried just about everything else, I would never have even downloaded it.
MisterZebub, nice find. I will do that too just in case
Man! As some other guys above, I just created and account in order to thank you! I was going nuts already. I just could not understand why windows was limiting the applications. Only torrent client was working normally. I downloaded the TCP Optimizer and the donwload went from 400kb/s to 6mb/s!

Thank you!! I just spent days googling, testing, scratching my head to no avail. Instead of getting the full 500mbps, I was capped at 200mbps. I tried everything I could find. I ran this utility because of your post, I checked optimized, applied, and voila! I'm getting the full 500. Thank you thank you thank you!

I just registered an account to say Thank You! I was beyond frustration and at a complete loss. I had already combed through so many forums and discussions, rephrased my search terminology, everything and anything I could think of to find the solution to this problem. Hours wasted, save a little more knowledge gained, but without any progress. Honestly, after finding this method, I expected to be yet again disappointed. My desperation was wearing thin and I was not looking forward to resetting my PC. I have a gigabit connection, and my normal speeds were 450Mbps, that of my ISP service. At some point, I noticed I was only getting 100-150Mbps. This also impacted my transfer speeds to my Synology and anything else connected to my network. I was so surprised when I saw this fixed the issue. I am so F*ing happy this worked!! Absolute relief is all I can amount it to. So again, and I cannot express this enough, Thank You!!! It never even crossed my mind to try an optimizer as I probably haven't used one in over 15 years.
I hope anyone with similar issues finds this discussion and tries this solution. Even if it doesn't work for them, it's definitely worth a shot.

Just wanted to say that I registered an account, as well, just to say THANK YOU! Tried everything under the sun to get my gigabit internet running at full speed, and this was the ONLY solution that worked!!
Not to kick a Dead Horse(thread) but thank you for this, you solved my issue as well after 5 days of me trying everything I could to repair Win 10's throttling of my internet. So if you are having an issue where you are missing a lot of your bandwidth for Downloads this TCP optimizer worked like a charm.
