Mar 29, 2010 Disable Windows Scaling heuristics Windows Vista/7 has the ability to automatically change its own TCP Window auto-tuning behavior to a more conservative state regardless of any user settings. It is possible for Windows to override the autotuninlevel even after an user sets their custom TCP auto-tuning level.
Windows 10 have an auto-tuning feature which tries to dynamically adjust the receive buffer size for transmission and latency of the link. In-fact this feature is present in all Modern Operating systems including Windows 10. So, its a Necessary Feature all together as it manages and adjusts Receive buffer size dynamically.

I am uncertain about the more modern Windows OS like 8.1 and Server 2012. However, auto-tuning did not work correctly in Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. One of the biggest symptoms was that GUI-based copy/paste between Windows 7 workstations and Server 2008 R2 servers would fail or creep along very slowly (think of copying a file to the company share or your home drive). Disabling auto-tuning, receive-side scaling, and heuristics almost eliminated the issue for me. If your environment consists of these particular operating systems, then you will want to disable auto-tuning, receive side scaling, and heuristics on both the workstations and servers. There is a hotfix but it may be just as easy to either script it or do it manually.
It is an easy fix and won't interrupt production.
EDIT: Has to be done with elevated privileges.
