# Windows tuning

This section describes tuning recommendations for the Windows operating system environment, version 7 or later.

Implement these recommendations to prevent deployment issues, particularly in high capacity environments. The following settings will increase the performance and capacity of network, specifically the TCP socket, connectivity, enabling PingAccess to handle a high volume of concurrent requests.
