Windows 10 Fall Creators Update lets you limit bandwidth usage for system and app updates, and in this guide, we'll tell you the steps to adjust the settings.
Windows 10 has a mechanism to dynamically measure and optimize the bandwidth your device uses to download and upload system updates, as well as for apps acquired from the Store, and numerous other products to make sure these activities don't interrupt your experience.
However, the delivery optimization mechanism can only analyze the network activity of your device, and it's not aware of the bandwidth usage on other computers on the local network. As a result, if you have a limited connection to the internet, other devices may experience noticeable speeds reduction during update activities.
Starting with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709), Microsoft is addressing this issue by introducing new options that allow you to limit the bandwidth your device uses to download and upload updates.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to manually throttle background download and uploads speeds while getting new system and app updates on your device – even if you're running the previous version of the OS.
