Driver to fix the issue: Realtek USB FE / GBE / 2.5G / Gaming Ethernet Family Controller Software - REALTEK.

Be great if this driver gets added to the Windows Update repository

I know this post is pretty old, but I just did this and no joke, my download speed was over 12x faster!  Didn't even require a restart.  I don't know why Microsoft wouldn't automatically update the driver to this version, instead I was rocking the driver from 2015 lol.  I downloaded the driver directly from Realtek's website as mentioned in the post and my download speed (through a VPN) went from ~7mbps to 91mbps!  Super happy I found this post!
