That's what, 27.7 mb/s? My guess would probably also be anti-virus or some privilege management type software. Maybe try using procmon while you init and monitor all the processes to get a better understanding of what could be the problem https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon I've used that successfully in the past to figure out the source of unexplained performance problems (spoiler: it was privilege management)
