Disable an Intel networking service - Windows 11

Hi all,

Cheating a bit since this isn't re Intel hardware.  TLDR: connected to a 2.5g port on my router I get terrible download speeds.  1g ports work fine.  Short CAT6 cable.

That's booted to Windows.  Booted to Linux I get 2300 down and 350 up.  Saturates my cable plan.

Bisected services and found the culprit: Intel Connectivity Network Service.

Thing is, I can't get rid of it, except by using Selective Startup - which I would rather not do.

It doesn't show up in Windows Services so I can't disable it directly.

Anyone know what app or other service spawns this thing?

thanks and regards,

Z.

By installing the latest Intel Connectivity Performance Suite I got that service to show up in Services so I could disable it.

Confirmed on two Lenovo ThinkPads: disabling it restores full speed when using a 2.5g port on my router.

FWIW,

Z.
