I have a weird situation and I hope someone can help. All of my devices connected to my WiFi router have "reasonable" internet speeds except for my laptop which recently slowed to barely usable. Please heeelp

My cell phone and tablet shows speeds of around 5Mbps where my laptop shows speeds of 0.2Mbps. They are all connected to same WiFi and are all in the same area.
I have performed
troubleshooting and Windows [10] finds no issue.
I have flushed DNS, removed and recreated network access points, rebooted router and laptop [often] , uninstalled network card and reinstalled.. nothing works.
If I use a LAN cable the speed is normal.
Using new ASUS Viviobook, Windows 10 [all updates done and latest drivers]

Yes, I tried at a place over the road.

Booting into safe mode with network did not activate wifi so couldn't test

My life saver . Disabling all start-up items did the trick. I didn't see any that should pose a problem but seems I was wrong . Speeds are back to normal. If I find the offending application, I'll post it back here.
Many thanks
