Surface pro running slow when connected to the internet

[conan]

Hi,

I have recently updated and since then my surface pro slows right down when I am connected to the internet. If I am not connected to the net it runs as normal but once I connect it slows down until it is barly useable. I don't even need to be using the net, it just needs to be connected.

I have plenty of space on my surface so that's not the issue. before updating it was running fine while connected to the internet. I tried updating to 8.1 but that didn't help.

Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Do you have many apps that are internet linked??Try closing all running apps and check performance.

Yep I have tried that with no luck.

IF you disconnect from a wireless network does the surface speed up noticeably?

No not until I do a restart.
