TIPS :

If you want to manage the drivers (remove old/unused drivers for example) that you have in your Windows DriverStore
Use Driver Store Explorer (Right click on "Rapr.exe" > Run as administrator).

If you want better interrupts delivery latency
Enable MSI (Message Signaled-based Interrupts) mode on all your supported devices (see the column "supported modes") with
MSI Mode Utility (Right click on "MSI_Mode_Utility_v3.exe" > Run as administrator).

Hi everyone,

@ Intel I225/I226 Ethernet controllers users :

As reminder :

- If you are using Windows 10 : There is no choice to make, you must use Windows 10/NDIS Drivers (1.x.x.x).

- If you are using Windows 11 : I recommend that you try Windows 11/NetAdapterCx Drivers (2.x.x.x) type first and switch to Windows 10/NDIS Drivers (1.x.x.x) type only if you have an issue :

Windows 11/NetAdapterCx Drivers (2.x.x.x) : More efficient than NDIS drivers type because of more low level access to the controller than NDIS drivers type, but can generate side effects due to the non-support of NetAdapterCx by other apps or system addons features. If you encounter any issue with NetAdapterCx drivers type, switch to the NDIS drivers type.

Windows 10/NDIS Drivers (1.x.x.x) : NDIS drivers type is the legacy drivers type used for all other Intel Ethernet gigabit controllers drivers whether for Windows 10 drivers or Windows 11 drivers, this drivers type will give you better stability/compatibility.

I tried the version 2.x.x.x which give me the error  "e2fnexpress"0xC00000E5" and when i tried the version 1.x.x.x i got the error "device cannot start ( code 10 )"
