Windows 10 Internet Active Probing

After some research it appears a similar issue to this occurred with Windows 8. I never had this issue during my roll out of Windows 8 but the resolution appears to work for Windows 10 1607 as well. At this stage I don’t know if making this change causes any unforeseen problems, but I’ll add to this post if I see anything.
Here’s how to prevent it. Using the registry editor, navigate to the location below, and change the “1” (enabled) to a “0” (disabled).

1	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet\EnableActiveProbing

Windows QoS settings

Windows 10 don't allow applications to mark outgoing packets with QoS DSCP values.

In order to overcome this you have 2 options

• Create a group policy QoS which works only on domain networks
• Run a powershell command to create a group policy attached to all network connections Domain / Private / Public

The powershell command is (Match on executable name):

New-NetQosPolicy -Name "CiscoJabber" -AppPathNameMatchCondition "CiscoJabber.exe" -DSCPAction 46 

Use the following command to view the QoS policies as the powershell created policies don't show up in Local Computer Policy snap-in.

Get-NetQosPolicy
