I recently noticed in the device manager when you klick view theres an option to show hidden devices.
Once i activated that a few things appeared, one of them named software components.
As you can see on the screenshot below i have tree different entries there.
1 general software component
2 intel dynamic application loader interface
3 intel iCLS client

What are those tree things exactly and what do they do and why do i need them?
Is there a reason i should disable those things and what would that reason be?
I mean, i have an intel CPU and the chipset so it might be legit ofcourse but the general thing what is that? maybe microsoft?

Next question, on the seccond screenshot you see my networkadapter / ethernet settings.
I never payed attention to those options and im totally blank now what those settings do.
Can anyone explain what exactly every single of those settings do and if i should turn some of them off or on and why?
Otherwise if you can share a link with me, officialy from microsoft explaining the settings in detail that would be good too.
But i doupt microsoft has a indepth explenation for this. Perhaps youtube does.

The third screenshot shows the menu that opens when i klick on properties and then advanced.
By default this setting is disabled but there is a whole list of options there, what do they do and should i use any of those?
