    Hi, I'm Robinson, an Independent Advisor and a Windows user like you.

    There is a feature on some Network Adapters called Large Send Offload. This is enabled by default for both IPv4 and IPv6. It essentially blocks TCP from partitioning large data packets into smaller packets.

    To disable this you need to configure the WSL vEthernet adapter

    1-Press the Windows Key and type “Control Panel” and hit enter

    2- Click “Network and Internet”

    3- Click “View network status and tasks”

    4- Click “Change adapter settings”

    5- Find the “vEthernet (WSL)” adapter and click properties

    6- Click “configure” and open the advanced tab

    Select “Large Send Offload Version 2 (IPv4)” and change the drop-down to disabled. To the same for “Large Send Offload Version 2 (IPv6)”.

    Once this is done click “OK” and you are all done. You may experience a slight downtime in connection while this is saved.
