(p2p) update distribution system called ‗Windows Update Delivery Optimization‘<br />
(WUDO).<br />
The benefit of WUDO is that on<strong>ce</strong> one Windows 10 devi<strong>ce</strong> has downloaded the<br />
latest updates it will automatically distribute them to other PCs on your network,<br />
saving time. The problem is your PC will also start to share this update with other<br />
PCs around the world that still need it. This takes the pressure off Microsoft‘s<br />
servers but also means Windows 10 will consume more of your bandwidth than<br />
Windows 7 or Windows 8, neither of which do this.<br />
The good news for those on metered connections is this can be changed by going to:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Settings > Update & Security > the Windows Update section > Advan<strong>ce</strong>d<br />
options<br />
Select PCs on my local network only for WUDO to only be used for your<br />
PCs, or<br />
Switch it off so each PC has to get their own downloads<br />
While the option to disable is ni<strong>ce</strong>, WUDO is another example of where Microsoft<br />
should be more transparent with Windows 10 and let them know upfront what their<br />
devi<strong>ce</strong>s will be doing behind their backs by default.<br />
