Slow setup of Beta/Dev/Can

Everytime i need to setup a new installation of Edge from the channels in the subject (yes i format a lot of times. lol) i download the setup file and it's really fast. When i start the setup process it takes around 1 hour or more to get the install done, when the setup doesn't fail. Is anyone experiencing this ? Thanks in advance.

        Your speed is lower than average tbh (11.7 Mbps / 8 = 1.4 MB/s)
        but your Ping is good which is important for online gaming

         

        You can try a couple of things,

        first you can update your Windows 10 to the latest version, which is 1909, using Windows update or this site:

        https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

         

         

        also you can change your DNS to Cloudflare's:

        once you do that, run this command in an elevated Powershell:

         

        IPconfig /Flushdns

         

         

        there is also another command to run to reset more than just DNS: (again in an elevated Powershell) (computer restart required after running it)

         

         

        netsh int ip reset

         

         

         

        lastly here is a guide for another method you can try to improve your download speed in Windows 10.

         

        (p.s elevated powershell = run powershell as Admin)
