      All due for release via respective update channels on the 29th April.
      see #2768281 for details..

      Given that one can do so much more with mozilla firefox, this is my preferred option. YMMV

      From a 90’s era nostalgic viewpoint, compared to the bog standard 3½” floppy-drive and 1.44mb disks, I remember and cherish the ‘great in their time’ iOmega Zip drives initially with 100mb disks and later having the 250mb Zip drive/ disks that were reliable for quick read/ write access at a time when only low speed CD-roms were available.

      I have it installed and all is well on a Gen12 W11 23H2 device AND also on a W11 installation using what microsoft published then removed, to install on under-the-bar devices using rufus procedures.

      The patch works fine here, so here it shall stay as intended by MSFT

      Now ‘Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level’ has been checked, it rules out any issues associated there 🙂

      You could try Realtek direct for your NIC drivers:
      Last update 2025-03-28 which is likely attributed to Win11 24H2 in the NDIS driver package. (backup/ image first)

      Realtek PCIe Ethernet Controller Driver..
      Firstly, dig and establish exact details from your device manager,
      then try downloading the NDIS driver package for your device.

      @John, after a MSFT answers search, came across a similar situation to yours from 4 months ago with a resolution to try.

      What’s the output from the following command in the cmd prompt?

      netsh interface tcp show global

      See link below with answer from Rob Alter:

      Imacri, download the complete 137.0.2 firefox relative to your location, choose the .exe instead of the .msi and do a custom install which will upgrade over-the-top. (this won’t affect your profile/s)

      life’s too short to get worked up about an empty folder with/ without empty sub-folders, sigh
      Borking profiles was the worst, remember that W10 1809 ‘creature update’?
      now THAT was something to worry about IMO
