Explanation
In Windows 10, proxy settings are configured under Internet Options (Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN Settings). A misconfigured or rogue proxy could route traffic through a slow or unreachable server, causing degraded speeds on that one device while others on the same network are unaffected. Network and Sharing Center shows adapter status and network configuration but not proxy settings. Firewall settings control traffic filtering, not proxying. System settings is too generic. Internet Options is the definitive location for proxy configuration in Windows.
