lan driver ( floaty mouse ,etc )

Post by ablemor » 25 Mar 2025, 18:04

Hi everyone, if I roll back the Ethernet driver to an older version, the floaty mouse feeling decreases. It doesn’t disappear completely, but it gets 1-2 degrees better. Has anyone else tested this?

Look into analyzing DPC/ISR performance of your Windows installation with the xperf or xtw script made by VoD.

You're free to use other tools made by the authors of Windows Internals to troubleshoot your driver issue.

some pcs autoinstall the netadapter driver instead of ndis based on your mobo
netadaptercx its just a newer and improved driver structure demanded by microsoft as said by them
search “realtek ethernet driver”
click on the first link
scroll down you are gonna see win11 drivers
choose the netadaptercx driver do the captha and its an exe file you press on it and thats just it
on intel these are not as stable as they didnt focus on them
choose the 3rd one

Unfortunately, it says that the Realtek controller is not found, so it doesn’t work. For those who have it, what changes do you notice? I currently have an X670 ASUS ROG Strix motherboard, but I’m switching to MSI or ASRock. I believe those have Realtek, so I should be able to install this driver.
