Hi,
I have a machine with Windows Server 2019 OS.
I am trying to set KeepAliveTime registry setting. I find references of this setting for Windows 2003, 2008, 2012.
I can not locate any reference of this setting for windows 2019.
I anyways tried those settings on windows 2019.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\KeepAliveTime
But unfortunately it did not work. Please suggest how to set this setting on windows 2019.
KeepAliveTime: determines how often TCP sends keep-alive transmissions. TCP sends keep-alive transmissions to verify that an idle connection is still active.
Looks to have been deprecated

The referred page does not mention anything about deprecating KeepAliveTime.

The deprecated parameters listed do not include KeepAliveTime, however experiments with WireShark suggest that this setting is ignored by Windows Server 2019.
Could we please have a definitive answer on whether this setting is supported or not - I cannot find any official documentation on this.
Many thanks

That article does not refer to KeepAliveTime, only these parameters that are listed:
Deprecated TCP parameters
The following registry settings from Windows Server 2003 are no longer supported, and are ignored in later versions.
All of these settings were located in the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
