I read this from this guy's blog - Windows TCP/IP implementation: Reset can increase network performance

btw, Windows 11 24H2 was publicly released on the first day of October, along with 24H2 (2024 update) ISO image downloads posted.

hi Philip. long time no see.

I think the TCP Optimizer 4 Documentation page needs to be updated:
https://www.speedguide.net/articles/tcp-optimizer-4-documentation-windows-7-8-10-2012-5821

especially about the "Retransmit timeout (RTO)" section that mentions about the "The default timeout for ...

hi Philip

I recently read this blog from here:
https://borncity.com/win/2023/02/14/microsofts-tcp-mess-how-to-optimize-in-windows-10-11/

what do you think?

and when connecting via ethernet, try a different cable maybe a either a CAT5e or CAT6 cable (not CAT5)

Used to run the good old AdBlockPlus.
A few years ago switched to uBlock Origin...quite a bit better.

me too - had been using AdBlockPlus (ABP) back in the late 2000s (like 2007 thru early 2010s) and that one has not been the same ever since uBlock Origin (uBO) came out in which UBO works better ...

Windows Update. When I run it I'm told...

"Great news—your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Windows*11. Specific timing for when it will be offered can vary as we get it ready for you."

I know I can probably do the ISO route but I was hoping to do the upgrade online.

back then you ...

my family's old Dell Inspiron 620 desktop computer uses Intel Sandy Bridge hardware (Intel HD Graphics 2000) and running Win10 LTSC 2019 (v1809) and that one works well. not gonna run the "normal" Win10 editions like Pro, Education or Enterprise on there since MS will be offering those "feature ...

I upgraded my Win 7 machine to windows 10 LTSC, and everything is going smooth so far. I can't speak the same for other editions of Windows 10 as I haven't tried them.

do NOT use Win10 Home edition. very difficult to control updates on the Home edition as MS may install updates on their schedule ...

Maybe their driver monitors/modifies the settings, not sure.

this is the case, especially with Broadcom ethernet and Realtek PCIe [FE and GbE] LAN devices and their drivers, where you must change the "checksum offload" and LSO settings in Device Manager's advanced properties, rather than using ...

Hi Philip,
They were giving me errors. Turned out I had somehow borked my Windows 10 permissions. Tried to fix them to no avail. Had to do a time-consuming full Windows reset.
It is all working fine now.
Thank you for your support.

doing an in-place repair upgrade install of Win10 (from at ...

it's really hard to say what kind of transfer speeds I get with the recent Realtek GBE LAN drivers on different PCs, Philip.
while my family's Dell Inspiron 620 desktop PC (and my custom built PC using a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 R2 motherboard) do have an onboard Realtek PCIe GbE LAN adapter and using ...

regarding RealTek GbE LAN adapters, install the latest drivers for those from Realtek's web site .

AND make sure Large Send Offload (LSO) is enabled for Realtek GBE as that is usually enabled by default when using those drivers from the Realtek web site (not the built-in Windows OS drivers for ...

Keep in mind that MS is wanting to change from buying to subscriptions...


there were some rumors about that but with Win10 that has not actually happened yet as noted by this ZDNet article by Ed Bott:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-five-years-later-almost-nothing-turned-out-as ...

ah thanks Philip. the 4.1.0 version worked great on my Win8.x machines

erpguy2 we are looking into it, thanks.
Also, what is the output of: netsh int tcp show supplemental
(does it have a line saying "The TCP global default template is ...")

speaking of netsh , why not make future versions of the TCP Optimizer program use the netsh int tcp set global initialRto=3000 ...

Thanks for the update erpguy2.

Can you please post the exact built of your Windows 8.1 ? (right-click Start > Run > type: winver)
I thought the template was changed from "InternetCustom" to "Internet" in one of the later 8.1 builds, will have to do some testing on our end.

well you thought wrong ...

erpguy2, thanks for the info, sent you a PM with links to some of the older versions.. I don't have a Windows 8.1 test machine, would be helpful if you can test those other versions and see which works. Thanks

actually Philip I found the problem:

TCP Optimizer v4.0.9 (and maybe v4.0.8) was using ...

@Philip

It looks like the latest version of TCP Optimizer (v4.0.9) can not seem to change the Initial "Retransmit Timeout" (RTO) setting from 3000 to 2000 (or vice-versa) in Windows 8.1.
I ran TCP Optimizer with administrative privileges in Win8.1, changed the Initial RTO value from 3000 to 2000 ...

the "Classic" Windows Defender interface has been removed in the 1803 version of Windows 10, Qui-Gon John.
use an older release of Win10 (like the v1709 release) if you like the older Windows Defender UI

some Office 2013 updates have cause more problems than fixing them

use Never10 or GWX Control Panel

AND

install the KB3184143 update on any Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1 machine

one minor problem with latest version of TCP Optimizer. It seems to "mis-identify" Windows 10 Pro v1803 as "Windows 10 Enterprise build 17134" on one of my computers

https://preview.ibb.co/fc9FBe/sg_tcp_optimizer_app_win10_mis_identification.png

it should be updated to correctly recognize the ...

A 4.0 beta of TCP Optimizer was released late April 2015 that is compatible with Windows 8, 8.1 and 10.
Better late than never.

BTW, for those using Windows Vista and have TCP Chimney Offload feature enabled, obtain & install the KB3019168 hotfix to update the tcpip.sys & tcpipreg.sys files and fix ...

Win9 has been changed to Win10 and that one is coming out near the end of July 2015
But I'll stay with Windows 7 since it runs fine on my existing PCs

I had this question too. In the meantime, you can make the current version work with Windows 8
by running the program as admin, and in Windows 7 compatibility mode. All applicable features and tweaks will work.

Right click the program executable, "properties," "Run this program in compatibility ...

Hello. To the creator(s) of the SG TCP Optimizer tool:

I've noticed that the SG TCP Optimizer program on the SG web site has not been updated for a few years and I recently ran the latest version of it (v3.0.8) under a Windows 8.1 computer. TCP Optimizer could not correctly identify what version of ...
