Windows 10 Workin on it.

Also, please post Make/Model of your computer!

Thanks,

sounds like wudo (windows-update-delivery-optimization) to me … in which win-10 is updating other people's computers from some of your computer's updates.

settings / updates / windows-update / adv-options / "choose how updates are delivered"
since my computer slowed down to worse than a crawl, and i already have low band-width to begin with … i turned this option off.

surreptitiously, i have searched windowsforum.com using filter "wudo" and came up empty-handed … one of the mods might create a short tutorial and pin it to the top of win-10 forum … since i've seen a number of posts here that could be attributed/related to microsoft's nefarious agenda.

• WUDO - Google Search
• Windows Update Delivery Optimization: FAQ - Windows Help

edit:
or, since the weekend has arrived … i might take a few hours and create a very short dissertation about wudo … and the succinct advantage in aiming a pistol at one's temple.

Hey! pnamajk! Sounds very interesting! Can we expect to hear more about this from you??
I turned mine off!!

Hi pnamajck;
Yes, this is a very good read! Thanks for posting it. I wasn't aware of this feature in W10. I've bookmarked both of your links and intend to use to help other forum users with intermittently slow W10 computers. I also was not aware that MS was doing the P2P component with OTHER PEOPLE'S PCs ON THE INTERNET!

Just a side note for other users that happened onto this very interesting thread, the settings to change your network adapter for a metered connection cap will only work if you have a Wi-Fi connection on your desktop PC or a laptop/tablet and that connection is active, and that's how your device is currently connecting to the Internet. The "metering cap" option does NOT show up if you have a WIRED connection (as I have on my Dell desktop PC I'm writing this on) to your router or broadband modem (DSL or CABLE).

Cheers!

well … during this latest upgrade (1803) … seems microsoft has revised some of my previous wudo settings. the good thing is they 'limited' the overhead to, supposedly, 50% of one's operating bandwidth. not so in my environment … a 35mb file should have taken 1min … ended up taking almost 10min.

i first had considered possibility of bitcoin(cryptocurrency) harnessing my computer … but my browser add-on "nocoin" showed no such indication. besides … mining cryptocurrency affects cpu and not bandwidth. anyway … i found the culprit to be wudo … and have attached two screen-caps … first being microsoft's 1803-wudo-config … and second being my revised 1803-wudo-config.

and, yes … things are back to normal once again.

Configure Delivery Optimization for Windows 10 updates (Windows 10)

The PC is one I built myself from components from various sources (Skylake).
I had another problem with the pc that wouldn't go away even with a Windows refresh.
So I did a clean install and now the pc works great.
I can only guess it was a corrupted Windows 10 problem.

thanks for posting back … relaying how you resolved the issue.
