Те из вас, кто владеет компьютерами Dell, возможно, заметили, что иногда скорость вашего Интернета снижается при определенных условиях. Кроме того, вы могли заметить, что в таких случаях Smartbyte обычно работает в фоновом режиме.
Прежде чем обсуждать, могут ли они быть связаны, некоторые из вас, вероятно, захотят узнать, что такое Smartbyte.
Что такое SmartByteTelemetry.exe?
SmartByte – это прикладной инструмент, который автоматически определяет, когда вы транслируете видео, и предоставляет ему большую часть доступного Интернет-соединения.
Если вы хотите иметь доступ к сетевой службе Smartbyte, вам придется купить новую систему Dell, такую как Inspiron 27 7000 или новее. К сожалению, не было обнаружено никакой информации о том, чтобы сделать его доступным как отдельную утилиту.
Утилита, которая включена по умолчанию, работает как с беспроводными чипами Intel, так и Realtek, поэтому вам не нужно беспокоиться об установке новых драйверов и служб Smartbyte, чтобы получить ее.
При этом вы ожидаете, что после установки этого инструмента скорость вашего Интернета должна лучше регулироваться при потоковой передаче видео.
К сожалению, это не всегда так, поскольку все больше пользователей на самом деле жалуются на инструмент, а не хвалят его.
Если у кого-то действительно быстрый интернет, и когда вы проводите тест скорости, вы получаете только 100 Мбит / с, проверьте, не установила ли Dell приложение SmartByte на ваш компьютер.
У меня есть соединение со скоростью 400 Мбит / с и Wi-Fi 802.11AC, и мой компьютер Inspiron будет получать только 100 Мбит / с на официальном сайте тестирования скорости моего интернет-провайдера. Я перебрал 3 разные карты переменного тока, думая, что это они, потому что мой Ipad всегда давал мне скорость 400 Мбит / с.
Как удалить Smartbyte.exe с моего ПК?
1 Отключить Smartbyte
- Нажмите Ctrl + Shift + Esc
- Это откроет диспетчер задач
- Перейдите на вкладку Автозагрузка
- Найдите утилиту Smartbyte, щелкните ее и выберите Отключить.
2 Удалите Smartbyte
- Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши Пуск
- Щелкните Приложения и функции.
- Прокрутите, пока не найдете приложение, в названии которого есть SmartByte.
- Щелкните каждую запись SmartByte и нажмите Удалить.
- Следуйте инструкциям по удалению приложения.
- Повторите процесс со всеми приложениями Smartbyte.
Все зависит от того, считаете ли вы это больше неприятностью, чем помощью. Если вы все же решите и больше не будете его использовать, вы можете попробовать отключить его или вообще избавиться от него.
Если вы хотите переустановить SmartByte, все, что вам нужно сделать, это выполнить обновление драйвера на вашем ПК Dell с помощью функции Dell Update.
Выполнив эти шаги, вы сможете временно или навсегда остановить запуск Smartbyte на вашем ПК с Windows 10.
Если вы тоже столкнулись с проблемами, связанными с тем, что Smartbyte влияет на скорость вашего Интернета на ПК Dell, расскажите нам об этом в разделе комментариев ниже.

У вас есть компьютер Dell? Кажется, что у него более медленное соединение Wi-Fi, чем у остальных ваших устройств? Это может быть вызвано этой простой, но в основном неизвестной проблемой. Как только вы узнаете об этом, вы легко найдете и устраните медленную скорость загрузки на вашем Dell.
Что такое телеметрия SmartByte?
Это прекрасный пример того, что «если это не сломано, не чините это». Хотите верьте, хотите нет, но сервис SmartByte был предназначен для улучшения вашего опыта в Интернете. Телеметрия SmartByte, также известная как сетевая служба SmartByte, была создана Rivet Networks для предоставления более высокого приоритета действиям, требующим большей пропускной способности через ваш Wi-Fi. Да, Rivet Networks, которые создали Killer Wireless. Интел владеет им сейчас.
Идея состоит в том, что если вы транслируете видео одновременно с проверкой Facebook или Instagram, SmartByte предоставит большую пропускную способность для видео, поскольку обычные веб-приложения не требуют столько. Во всяком случае, это была теория.
Иногда SmartByte устанавливается только как служба и драйвер. Однако если у вас есть Dell Inspiron, G3, G5 или G7, у вас может быть приложение SmartByte или приложение Dell Cinemastream. Оба используют драйвер и службу SmartByte.
На что еще влияет SmartByte?
Если более низкие скорости Wi-Fi для вас не имеют значения, SmartByte также вызвал проблемы, отбрасывая пакеты протокола пользовательских дейтаграмм (UDP) в Windows 11 версии 21H2, согласно Microsoft. Говорят, что это было исправлено обновлением KB5006674 в октябре 2021 года, поэтому проверьте, есть ли оно у вас.
Могу ли я обновить SmartByte, чтобы исправить это?
Dell по-прежнему распространяет SmartByte и заявляет, что он работает с Windows 11. Можно было бы подумать, что в новейшей версии эта проблема исправлена, поскольку она существует примерно с 2017 года. Судя по всему, они ее не исправили.
В базе знаний Dell есть новые статьи от января 2022 года о том, как устранять проблемы с производительностью сети, и они указывают на SmartByte. Так что нет, обновление SmartByte не обязательно решит проблему с низкой скоростью.
Как исправить проблему со SmartByte?
Хотя Dell рекомендует обновить SmartByte, маловероятно, что это улучшит ситуацию. Есть два варианта. Один из них — отключить SmartByte, а другой — полностью удалить SmartByte. Прежде чем делать что-либо из этого, запустите тест скорости интернета и сохраните результаты. Закончив отключение или удаление SmartByte, запустите еще один тест скорости интернета и сравните его с предыдущими результатами.
Если второй лучше, то со SmartBytes были проблемы. Если второй такой же или хуже, то что-то другое вызывает замедление. Вам нужно выяснить, почему у вас низкая скорость загрузки.
Как отключить SmartByte
Зачем нам отключать SmartByte, а не удалять его полностью? Возможно, SmartByte работает на вас при определенных обстоятельствах. Возможно, вы обнаружите, что собрания Zoom проходят лучше с SmartByte, но потоковое видео 4K из-за этого ухудшается. Или, может быть, вы просто хотите убедиться, что SmartByte является реальной причиной проблем со скоростью вашего Wi-Fi.
- Выберите меню «Пуск» и найдите «Службы». Откройте Службы, когда найдете его.
- Найдите службу SmartByte. Это можно сделать быстро, один раз щелкнув любой сервис, а затем начав вводить смартбайт. Чтобы остановить только службу SmartByte, выберите ее, а затем выберите Остановить службу в области описания службы или нажмите кнопку остановки на панели инструментов.
- Чтобы отключить SmartByte, дважды щелкните по нему, и откроется окно свойств службы SmartByte.
- Измените Тип запуска с Автоматически на Отключено. Затем нажмите кнопку «Стоп» в области состояния службы, если она еще не остановлена. Выберите OK, чтобы закрыть окно.
- Статус службы SmartByte очищен, а тип запуска отключен.
Проверьте скорость вашего интернета и сравните ее с предыдущей. Если он выше, есть большая вероятность, что проблема в SmartByte. Вы можете полностью удалить SmartByte.
Как удалить SmartByte: метод приложений и функций
Отключение SmartByte улучшило скорость загрузки? Если это так, рассмотрите возможность удаления SmartByte. Это просто.
- Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши меню «Пуск» или используйте комбинацию клавиш Win + X. В открывшемся меню выберите Приложения и возможности.
- В окне «Приложения и функции» начните вводить smartbyte в поле поиска. Любые приложения, использующие SmartBytes, будут отображаться как результаты. В данном случае это драйверы и службы SmartByte и приложение SmartByte. Вы также можете увидеть приложение CinemaStream.
- Выберите одно из приложений одним щелчком мыши, затем выберите «Удалить». Он запросит подтверждение. Выберите Удалить еще раз.
- В другом предупреждении может отображаться предупреждение о том, что после удаления компьютеру потребуется перезагрузка. Нажмите OK, чтобы продолжить, и после завершения удаления перезагрузите компьютер.
Как удалить SmartByte: метод панели управления
Этот метод удаления SmartByte больше подходит для технарей старой школы. Некоторые из нас до сих пор все делают через панель управления
- Выберите меню «Пуск» и начните вводить «control», чтобы найти «Панель управления». Найдя, откройте его.
- В Панели управления выберите пункт «Программы и компоненты».
- В окне «Программы и компоненты» найдите и выберите «Драйверы и службы SmartByte», затем выберите «Удалить».
- Появится запрос, уверены ли вы, что хотите удалить драйверы и службы SmartByte. Выберите Да.
- Удаление начинается, и это быстро.
Как только окно индикатора выполнения исчезнет, SmartByte Drivers and Services будут удалены. Убедитесь в этом, заметив, что его больше нет в списке программ в окне «Программы и компоненты». В сервисах его тоже нет.
Вызывает ли удаление SmartByte другие проблемы?
SmartByte состоит из службы и драйвера, и вы знаете, что избавление от служб и драйверов может вызвать проблемы. В этом случае нет, проблем не будет. SmartByte — это просто утилита. Ниже вы увидите, что все наши сетевые драйверы все еще там. Ваш может выглядеть немного иначе.
Драйвера для вашего Wi-Fi и всего остального останутся нетронутыми и никакого вреда не будет. Фактически, некоторые пользователи сообщают, что другие проблемы с их ПК Dell были решены. Проблемы людей с VPN, FTP и сбоями Windows прекратились. Однако, если вы считаете, что удаление SmartByte вызвало проблемы, вы можете переустановить его.
Вам помогло удаление SmartByte?
Это кажется простым, однако скорость загрузки и выгрузки увеличилась более чем на 25% на основе нашего тестирования скорости до и после.
Нам любопытно, насколько вам помогло удаление SmartByte. Дайте нам знать об этом в комментариях. Если вы знаете кого-то с Dell, у которого проблемы со скоростью, отправьте им эту статью.

In case, the name Revit Networks sounds familiar to you. Yes, it is the same company that developed the Killer Wi-Fi cards that come within many Dell and Alienware laptops.
In this article, I will explain to you what Smartbyte Network Service is and the problems in it, and their complete solution.
What Does Smartbyte Network Service Do?
It is often seen that Windows prioritizes among applications to which it focuses more internet bandwidth and to the lesser fortunate it just feeds the leftovers.
Come on, we all have been through times when you have a fast and stable internet connection yet your Netflix is buffering like anything. Meanwhile, the Windows update is sucking on most of the bandwidth available.
To solve this problem Revit Networks developed a new utility for Dell laptops named Smartbyte Network Service which automatically senses that a video is being streamed and sets the network priority to the streaming app rather than any other operation.
Revit Networks have shared the results of a lab test that a laptop connected to a 10mbps connection took about 3 minutes 59 seconds to play a 2 minutes 13 seconds video. The video buffered about 8 times because of Windows updates sucking on most of the bandwidth available.
But when the Smartbyte Network Service Utility was installed in the system the video didn’t even buffer once.
In another test, the company claims about a Skype video playing on 320 x 180 resolution with a 13.8% data packet drop rate when Smartbyte was disabled. But when the utility was enabled resolutions changed to 960 x 540 and the drop rate was negligible.
This utility comes in pre-loaded on selected Dell laptops like Dell Inspiron 27 700. However, Revit Networks show no interest in making the utility available as a Standalone.
But wait before you go running to buy a new Dell PC. Read the article further and decide for yourself if it worth it.
