Can affect Windows network-usage accounting and diagnostics. Because it targets ControlSet001 rather than CurrentControlSet, behavior depends on which control set is active.
Usage: Do not apply as a generic latency tweak without a specific reason and rollback plan.
Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP service
network/DisableNetBT.reg
High
Sets the NetBT service Start value to 4, disabling the NetBIOS over TCP/IP driver/service.
Can break legacy name resolution, discovery or applications/environments that still depend on NetBIOS. Modern networks may not need it, but disabling the service is broader than disabling NetBIOS per individual adapter.
Usage: Use only when legacy NetBIOS functionality is known to be unnecessary.
Hard-coded Ethernet RSS affinity profile
network/Ethernet RSS affinities.ps1
High
Configures adapter “Ethernet” for four RSS queues, MaxProcessors=4, NUMAStatic profile, BaseProcessorNumber=4 and MaxProcessorNumber=10.
The values are CPU-topology and adapter-specific. On another system the adapter may have a different name, fewer queues, different NUMA layout or different optimal processor placement. Wrong affinity choices can reduce throughput or increase latency rather than improve it.
Usage: Edit the adapter name and derive CPU/RSS topology first with Get-NetAdapterRss and system CPU information.
The actual changes are performed by the paired PowerShell script. This wrapper is intentionally one-click and therefore should only be used after reading the reset documentation.
Usage: Keep both files together. Run the CMD when the fixed MTU 1492 reset is actually desired.
Universal physical-adapter reset + MTU 1492
network/reset/Universal-Network-Reset-MTU1492.ps1
High
Selects the active physical Ethernet/WLAN adapter, records before/after state, resets exposed advanced NIC properties to driver defaults, normalizes selected TCP globals, enables RSS/RSC where supported, forces IPv4 and IPv6 MTU 1492 and restarts only that adapter.
It deliberately does not remove VPN/Hyper-V bindings, DNS settings or IP addressing. TCP changes include RSS on, autotuning normal, ECN off, InitialRTO 3000, RSC on, Fast Open on and supplemental congestion provider reset to default. MTU 1492 is persistent and is not the normal Ethernet default of 1500; it is appropriate only where the path requires it, such as many PPPoE links.
Usage: Use when the goal is to undo prior NIC/TCP tuning and intentionally force MTU 1492. For automatic path-MTU discovery, use a separate MTU test tool instead.
