How to prevent window 10 from stealing your bandwidth !!!

Go to Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Update -> Advanced Options. From Advanced Options go to ‘Choose how updates are delivered’. From ‘Choose how updates are delivered’ you can do any of the following:\
  • 1. Turn off the p2p transfer entirely
  • 2. Limit the p2p transfer to PCs on your local network.


1. Open update & security.




2.Open  "advanced option " from the windows updates.



3. Select  "choose how updates are delivered" in window 10.







5. Limit update to local network or completely turn it off.


The idea of delivering Windows updates through P2P is genius. But on the other side, it can make PC’s vulnerable to hacking attempts as well as bandwidth problems. Microsoft should at notify user about background data sharing so they can decide whether they want to keep it or turn it off.
