Description

This PR cleans up the “Competitive Gaming Optimizations” profile by removing registry-based TCP tweaks that are commonly misapplied and don’t behave as advertised.

Type of Change

  • feat: New feature (software, configuration, or functionality)
  • fix: Bug fix

  • refactor: Code refactoring (no functional changes)

Closes #6

Changes Made

  • Removes the TCPNoDelay/“disable Nagle” registry tweak and the incorrectly-scoped TcpAckFrequency entry from the competitive profile.
  • Adds a separate advanced/opt-in configuration that applies TcpAckFrequency=1 per active network interface (Ethernet/Wi‑Fi) via PowerShell.
  • Adds a short warning explaining that the tweak can “take effect” without necessarily improving latency, is TCP-only, and may increase ACK traffic.
