Disable Receive Segment Coalescing (lower latency)

Network QoSModerate riskReversible

Runs `netsh int tcp set global rsc=disabled`. RSC batches multiple inbound TCP segments together before handing them to the stack — great for raw throughput and CPU efficiency on a file server, but it adds a few milliseconds of buffering latency that hurts latency-sensitive traffic like online games and voice. Disabling it favours latency over bulk throughput. Best for competitive gaming; leave it on if you mostly do large downloads. Reversible. Revert re-enables RSC.
