Disable IPv6 (set DisabledComponents = 0xFF)

NetworkExpert riskReboot requiredReversible

Disables all IPv6 components except the loopback interface, per Microsoft KB929852. Microsoft DOES NOT recommend this for most users — IPv6 is a mandatory part of Windows and some features (Remote Assistance, HomeGroup, DirectAccess) will stop working. Useful only in legacy IPv4-only networks. Requires reboot.

How MaxTweaks applies this
