Hi @MysticFoxDE , Thank you for publishing this script.

Would it be possible to add a README.md file with an introduction and some explanations? This could help many users.

Possible contents of the README file could be: why you wrote the script, how to use the script, what the script does and which changes it makes, what are the specific outcomes of using the script, etc.

Maybe you can also add some links to the README file, for example:

Thank you!

Thank you for the script.
I very much welcome the script execution of a backup. But how do I run a restore?

Hi @mendel5,

I'll write a detailed readme as soon as I have a little more time, but that may take a few more weeks.

By the way, the links are already in the script header.

Best Regards from Germany
Alex

Alex, I am glad you made it. Not only on the topic but also you published your hard work to be applied.

Not only from the coverage, fruits of 2 years of persistent work, against all odds at Microsoft.

I am happy I was part of the journey, while it was too deep and abstract at times to contribute to your success :)

My 2 Cent: Does the internet profile makes sense, if one designed the Windows Client and Server OS optimized for cloud, e. g. Azure?
Maybe they want to avoid saturation of their network by intense workloads (QoS on their side would be better at times).

Hi Alex,

just wanted to say: DANKE! without creating accounts on administrator.de or so.

Gave it a try on my personal notebook and immediately - okay after the reboot to be exact - felt the difference.
It's all just much more snappier even via WiFi to the internet.

Best regards from NRW

Hi @Karl-WE,

"I am happy I was part of the journey, while it was too deep and abstract at times to contribute to your success :)"

Unfortunately, this crazy journey is far from over, but apart from all the downsides of it, it also had a lot of good things so far.
I met a lot of interesting people along the way, including you. 😁

"My 2 Cent: Does the internet profile makes sense, if one designed the Windows Client and Server OS optimized for cloud, e. g. Azure?"

Well, funnily a lot of people report back that they have a much better performance of all things when accessing cloud services after running my script. 🙃

Best Regards from Germany

Same here, glad to meet you.
Why the caveat to apply it on Windows Server 2016 - 2022, vNext or Azure Stack HCI OS, or Datacenter Azure Edition?
I believe it's the same stack.
Would not disable RSS / RSC, would you?

Coming back to the original request, I'd find it interesting to have an explanation of each setting that changes, what it is / does and why it's changed. I think such an explanation should be balanced between being somewhat technical but still understandable by non-experts. IMHO at least the former ("what is / does this setting) may be brief: People wanting to do a deep-dive can find and read other ressources.

I would always switch off RSC, that's a complete botch and also collides functionally with interrupt moderation.

You have to be more careful with RSS.
If your uplink speed is 1G, then you can whistle on RSS too.
Otherwise, it is not insignificant, especially for servers, especially with uplink speeds >5G. And from 10G at the latest you can't really avoid RSS, at least not without RDMA.

please be patient.
I have written entire novels on this subject. Now I just have to summarize them in a way that is halfway understandable, as you say yourself. And I just don't have the time for that at the moment.

@MysticFoxDE, no problem, I'm thankful you have discovered this. My usual reflex would be to offer to contribute, but I have a huge project at $daywork which is quite time-consuming ATM. I could do some proofreading or translation work (DE, EN, FR) though.
