Windows 10: Updates paused - svchost.exe still using all my bandwidth!

I have limited bandwidth, usually around 170kB/s on a good day, so I pause updates during the day and restart them at night.


I also have background and foreground downloads throttled to only use 5% of the available bandwidth.


Regardless of those settings, Windows is still using 100% of my bandwidth doing something with scvhost.exe, making my network unusable for anything else.


Is there anything else I can switch off, adjust, change to take control of my network back?

svchost using all of bandwidth

Hi,

Svchost is essential in the implementation of so-called shared service processes, where a number of services can share a process in order to reduce resource consumption. To resolve your issue, we recommend setting a bandwidth limits for background downloads.

To set a bandwidth limits:

• First, select the Start, then select Settings.
• Then, Update & security, then Advanced options.
• Select Delivery Optimization.
• Choose Advanced options.

Select Limit how much bandwidth is used for downloading updates in the background. Then use the slider to set the percentage of available bandwidth used for background downloads. Lower values use less bandwidth but cause updates to be delivered
more slowly.

We look forward to your response.
