So, my internet slowed down after I factory reset my PC. Before the factory reset I was constantly getting ~3mb/s but after I reset my PC to windows 10 (Before Windows creators update) it's been 200kb/s or even lower, I used this tool called driver booster which downloaded most of my drivers. I have tried Ethernet as opposed to USB dongle but that just makes it even worse which didn't happen before the reset, also wifi doesn't change speed when no devices are connected.

Motherboard:Gigabyte 970A-DS3P
Power Supply: Corsair VS 650
Router: Sky (Europe) Model: ER110 Firmware: 2.06.2188.R DSL Firmware Version: A2pv6F039m1.d24m
Using: USB Dongle 802.11n USB Wireless lan card
Number of connected devices connected: 4

Windows reset does 3 things. Replaces system files, unloads drivers, and clears application association with windows. The source of your issue is most likely associated with the drivers. I would reinstall my drivers using the ones from your motherboard manufacturer's website. Video card drivers are about the only ones I get directly from AMD or Nvidia. Hopefully this will correct the problem, but there is a possibility of something loading without your knowledge and unless you want to do a bunch of hunting, resetting Windows again might your only recourse.

One other thing ... I wouldn't use driver booster.

What make and model network adapter are you using?

Double check that only one network adapter (wired or wireless) is enabled.

Download and install the drivers directly from the manufacturer.

You have no idea about where and what "drivers" are being installed by Driver Booster. And what else may have been installed as part of the process.

Try using Task Manager (and Resource Monitor as well) to observe your PC's performance while on and off of the internet.

Good chance that you will find some resource bottleneck or some demanding service slowing things down.
