Default Network Properties?

So when you open up network properties in Win10 you see...

-Client for Microsoft Windows
-File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
-QoS Packet Scheduler
-Internet Protocol (TCP/IPv4)
-Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Protocol
-Microsoft LLDP Protocol
-Internet Protocol (TCP/IPv6)
-Link Layer Topology Discovery Responder
-Link Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver

In addition there are advanced configuration properties you
can set which may vary by adapter...

-Energy Efficient Ethernet
-Flow Control
-Jumbo Packet
-Legacy Switch Compatibility Mode
-Packet Priority & VLAN
-Protocol ARP Offload
-Protocol NS Offload
-Speed & Duplex
-System Idle Power Saver
-Wake on Link Settings
-Wake on Magic Packet
-Wake on Pattern Match

So of all this bullsh*t... what is actually needed? What
should be enabled/disabled?

And I can see from the Network Connection Details that NetBIOS
is enabled. Why is that idiot thing still enabled and hidden
away on win10? Is there anything else hidden away that should
be disabled?

Thanks

I have a fairly simple home network so I turned all of
these off except for IPv4 and IPv6. I also disabled NetBIOS.
The NetBIOS was hidden under IPv4 PropertiesAdvancedWINS

I left the adapter settings at their default values.

Would NetBIOS still be used for printing ?

The two MS nameserving functions might be NetBIOS
and SSDP, and the SSDP one hides in a HomeGroup
Function-something-or-other service. After HomeGroup
was deprecated, the SSDP one is still used for... something.
(You can't turn off all seven services that
HomeGroup used.)

When SSDP was first put on a modern Windows, it
wasn't used for much at all (inventory pictures
of your setup was the only function then).

Windows 10 still supports SMBV1. In Control Panels,
Programs and Features : Windows Features, you can
tick a box and install it. Suitable for WinXP networking,
or perhaps an older Linux might use it.

I've not had reason to adjust the NIC parameters.
There should be a "standard set" for each NDIS
version. To me, as long as the link operates
at max_rate, I'm pretty happy and my interest
in adjusting those parameters is limited. There are
still things that prevent full Windows Share
transfer rates, but I don't think it's a function
of those parameters. Because the numbers
are all over the place. Some equipment combinations
work just fine, others not so much.
