Garmin Express takes forever to sunc workouts to Garmin Connect (Slow to sync)

My internet connection is working and is fast enough, but since the latest Express software update, my workouts don't upload. The green status bar indicates that it is syncing. But after 60 minutes I give up and quit. Here's a pic the screen I stare at for an hour

Problem solved! Undid a workaround for another problem I experienced. The workaround was found in the forum "Internet connection is being blocked. (Discussion)" post nr 25.

Here's the steps in the workaround, I simply set the properties for the Garmin Core Update Service back to the default and now it syncs again:

"It does say that you'll need to do this every time you update Express (unless of course you can track down the issue on your PC that's causing it)

1. Press the Windows key+R
2. Type "services.msc" and press Enter
3. Locate and right-click Garmin Core Update Service
4. Click Properties
5. Click on Log On tab
6. Select This account
7. Click Browse
8. Type Network Service
9. Click Check Names
10. Click OK
11. Remove all text from both password fields
12. Click OK
13. Click OK again
14. Right-click Garmin Core Update Service and Click Stop
15. Right-click Garmin Core Update Service and Click Start
NOTE: This is not a permanent fix. These steps must be repeated if Garmin Express is updated to a newer version or re-installed."
