Connection issues plague a large portion of community members at times. Unfortunately for me, I live in a bad wifi area in general. However, I was able to fix a large portion of my ping issues with 1 simple tip!

Windows updater:
The windows updater often checks at random times for a windows update. This can effect your connection.

Go to the "Check for updates" setting, and click "pause updates for 7 days".

Please bear in mind that this will result in you not having any updates received, and upon the 7 day pause period ending, the first thing your PC will probably do is look for an update.

Also, for the people using windows defender, this means you won't get the up to date version.


Hope this helps!

Another thing you can also do is set your ''Active hours'' this is as it sounds, During the set time period, your computer will not update or check for updates. I tend to use this as it works really well.
