Windows 10 has been launched by Microsoft on July 29 2015 and there has been already a feature that causes problem under the name Wi-Fi sense. Recently another problem has been deducted in Windows 10.
Microsoft is providing free upgrade for the users who are using Windows 7,8 and 8.1 and so millions of users are downloading simultaneously and it has been a difficult job to handle that much traffic.
To solve this problem Microsoft is using Torrent Style downloading option under the name of #Windows Update Delivery Optimization and it uses peer to peer connection that enable the user to download the files from another user.
When you are initiating the upgrade to Windows 10 your computer will copy the installation files from other user who already upgraded to Windows 10 this is the strategy followed to minimize the traffic to Microsoft Server.
For this purpose of #WUDO your computer after fresh upgrade will start upload as similar to that of seeding process in Torrent download. This will drastically steal the network bandwidth of the system.
This feature is enabled by default and if you don't want to upload and act as a peer then you have to disable it manually to avoid further stealing of bandwidth.
To disable the feature do the following
Go to settings in the start menu
Search for Update & Security
Under Windows Update open Advanced options
Under Choose how updates are installed, select choose how updates are delivered.
Disable the toggle under updated from more than one place.
Users are recommended to disable the feature to avoid the further loss of network bandwidth.
P.S : The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
