The problem is, home routers are sensitive to "connection count".
When a Win10 machine opens 20 connections, it "hogs" the router.
It squeezes out a machine which is just using its web browser.

nonsense. home routers can handle many hundreds, if not many thousands
of simultaneous connections.

if 20 connections caused a problem, then all sorts of things wouldn't
work properly, or at all. a single web page often has more than that,
plus all the other stuff that's in use.
