Windows 10 Bandwidth Issues / How to Reduce

Having bandwidth issues on your Windows 10 systems?

Probably stems from the way updates can be handled. Windows 10 included the option to use P2P (peer-to-peer) to seed/receive updates.

Check this on your systems to make sure it is turned off if you're having issues or notice a lot of bandwidth being used:

System > Update & Security > Windows Update panel > Advanced Options > Choose How Updates are Delivered > Turn off the option with the On/Off toggle switch.

This will disable P2P updating that tends to use a lot of bandwidth.
