I've recently emailed Realtek about the "wrong" or outdated download; hopefully they'll post the updated one on 12/2

Windows 10/11 v10.078.50: mega.nz/file/Yd1XGZDS#H-A6Tp0XW9Xzcsm7zO...BK81pJ76P_ABSNenl5gU  (Power-saving support), (dated October 3, 2025)

and "Windows 10/11 v10.078.50" should be "Windows 10/11 v10.079.50" as I recently got the 10.79.50 version. it's only the 10.079.20 version that isn't yet available

Just noticed the newest version (10.79.50.1003) that I installed now has the option to set higher / lower rss queues compared to before. For my system (7800x3d), I could only choose between 2/4 queues, now I have the option to select 1/2/4/8 queues
