Move network RSS off CPU core 0

NetworkModerate riskReversible

Sets every RSS-capable network adapter's base processor to core 2, steering NIC interrupt/receive processing away from core 0 (where Windows funnels most system interrupts). Can reduce networking-induced stutter. Requires an RSS-capable NIC. Reversible (revert sets base processor back to 0).

How MaxTweaks applies this

MaxTweaks applies this tweak with one click and snapshots your original setting first, so you can revert it cleanly at any time. A System Restore point is offered before batch changes, and every tweak links to its official source.
