Why is my connection so slow when the sim is running

Before loading the sim my internet speeds are like 200 download 200 upload. During the sim it plummits to the bottom while exiting it’s more or less back up again. I get programmatry warnings. I never had that before.
During the plays i dont encounter much hickups or something like that and i will get a more or less 25 fps, which is fine for my laptop. But everythng else, menu’s, loading, even pressing buttons to go to an other page or exit the sim is sooooo slow.

When downloading an update file, My range falls to 1mb/s and then in time will go up to 230 mb/s.

for me it always stays around 7 mb/s

really don’t know whats going on. Only have it with MSFS2020… al other games nothings wrong…

Took a while, but for me during a lenovo update apperently ’ netwerk boost’ was turned on.

With that off its already a lot quicker in the sim itself (havent tried downloading anything yet) and i don’t get connection to slow for programmatry errors anymore (for now)
