It doesn't change the speed. It only affects what/how Windows decides to
feed itself. everything else is normal.

Is this the so-called "Creator's Update"?
I have for a long time set all my ethernet connection to "metered" via
a registry hack. I leave the WiFi connection turned off, except when I
want updates to run. It works for me, as it leaves me in charge of
exactly when the updates run.

What are you guys doing to control Windows 10 update from downloading
updates whenever it wants to?� Windows used to have a setting for
when it would download and install, and now that setting (IF have you
have access to the Group Policy editor - some Win versions supposedly
don') only allows defining when it will INSTALL the updates and not
when it downloads them.� You can make the update process manual I

can also set an interface to �metered� which means it won�t DL
until it gets an unmetered connection but that won�t help either.�
Today 3 customers (plus my PC) were killing an AP, all connected to
Microsoft presumably downloading updates as mine was from that IP.�
That is what my PC was doing when I caught the problem.� All
customers and myself were connected to the same MS IP address.
Even if customers had access to GPEDIT, and if it had that ability,
talking customers through that would have been a not fun job for tech
support for all the Win10 devices out there now.� Supposedly, not
all versions of Win 10 have access to GPEDIT easily.� GPEDIT does
have a setting for maximum DL for updates which helps but that would
only slow things down for a loooong time to get updaes.� Much
better to have it do full updates after midnight.
Was wondering if there was something that could be defined at the
customers CPE Mikrotik (in place at 95% of our customers) or at the
tower Mikrotik.
There has to be some solution.
