I have a question about my Dell Inspiron 5570 that has an application called SmartByte by Rivet Networks....does anyone have any suggestions or know anything about this application.

  1. It seems like to me the I/O should only be handled through Intel. Does anyone think that I should remove it?
  2. If so, what would you suggest that I do afterwards?
  3. Just let it be, or is there something better that may help me with video processing??

I appreciate any feedback or suggestions. Thanks. :)

    Good Day RossBurnette,

    My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 10 pc and community member like you.

    It is not advisable to delete the app, it came pre-installed with Dell computers, It is designed to let you attain the maximum signal strength while you are streaming videos, movies.

    This app is related with the network connection in your Dell computer.

    I hope the information above helps.

    Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

    Sincerely,

    Carlo T.

    SmartByte has been known for impeding network transfer rates. It is a bandwidth monitoring utility and can restrict something you don't want to restrict.

    If it is working for you, then keep it. If you find you have low bandwidth for certain types of operations, you might want to remove it. If you have the Killer Performance suite it may be involved and setting default options for specific types of transfers.

    I don't know how old the 5570 is but Intel now handles those utilities for certain Killer Wireless cards.

    Check out the Dell Community and ask others that use the same computer you have and see what they did if they have or had the same app.
