Armor badly affecting Xbox series x
I’ve spent all evening trying to figure out why my wired Xbox series x was downloading and carrying out speed tests so badly, it was hitting between 40 Mbps and 200, completely wild, each test would r...
Test the RAX with out Armor enabled. Armor has been known to cause problems before.

What’s strange is that over Wi-Fi it seemed to be OK, so Armor appears to take offence to Xbox over wired connections only.
I spoke to NG support who were actually really great but in the end all they could do is suggest I call Bitdefender direct on a US number which I can’t do from the UK, it’ll cost too much. (There’s no UK number which is another alarm bell).
They’ve been good enough to refund my Armor subscription, shame though, this is Microsoft Xbox, not some obscure utility…Ya. Shame. I don't use Armor. Haven't had a need for it. Armor seem to add a layer of security but maybe adding too much or not be able to exclude known items from being filtered.
Good Luck.
