Windows 11 on one machine experiences sluggish SMB performance
You're experiencing differences in file transfer speeds between your PC and laptop despite both being on Windows 11 and connected via Gigabit Ethernet. The laptop consistently handles ~110 MB/s, while your PC only manages around 62-65 MB/s. Changing startup settings didn't resolve the issue, hinting at a potential OS-related problem. Consider checking for background processes, driver conflicts, or system updates that might affect performance.
Determine your Ethernet controller model and download the appropriate drivers directly from the manufacturer’s site to replace the default Windows setup.

Absolutely, it's the same cable, port, OS, and setup—still confusing!
