Restores Windows' default receive-window auto-tuning if another tool disabled it.

Applying it needs Nexus Standard or Pro. Every plan can read it here and undo it in Restore Center. Compare plans

What it changes

Receive window auto-tuning level: Normal

Before anything is written, the review screen shows this setting's current value on your PC next to the new one.

Why it helps

Disabled auto-tuning cripples download speeds on fast or distant connections; Normal fixes that.

Trade-offs

None - this is the Windows default.

Evidence

Strong evidenceExpected impact:Noticeable

Strong evidence means: documented by microsoft or consistently measurable. Expected impact is noticeable (2 of 3): how much it can matter when this is actually the bottleneck on your PC, not a promised gain.

Is it in a pack?

Yes. It's in the Network & latency pack, so that pack and Optimize everything include it. You can still untick it in the review screen.

How to undo

Switch the tweak off in Nexus, or open Restore Center and restore this change (or choose Undo last change). Nexus writes back the original value it recorded before applying, not a generic default, then reads it back to confirm.

Apply it safely with Nexus

Preview the exact change, apply it with its original value recorded, and undo it in one click if you change your mind.
