Windows 10: Windows Update destination ip address

I am currently setting up a custom firewall/router built out of computer parts from scratch.


I would like to know what ip address and ports windows update uses to connect to microsofts windows update servers just so i can whitelist them and continue recieving windows updates as normal on my network which 90% of my computers run windows 10 Home/Pro.

IP address used by Windows 10 Update

Hi,

Thank you for the reply! I meant destination IP address .I could see many IP addresses being used by svhost.exe .I could able to white list few IP addresses used by svhost in windows firewall and I use Tinywall for blocking everything unless I allow so
that I can able to use many windows apps as well as windows store along with my third party apps. The reason is that I have metered connection.

I don't want automatic downloading of updates. So , I want to block only IP addresses pertaining to windows updates.

1) No changes made other than the above.

2) reason stated as above

3) windows defender is OFF (since it consumes too much of RAM)

4) Avast

5) used avast to scan.

Windows 10 (1703)

Since tinywall uses windows firewall , it is turned on.

Please provide me the list of IP addresses for windows updates so that I could block in my firewall

Regards,

Balaji

Hi Will,

You might need your computer's IP address if you want to set up an Internet connection, allow other people to connect to your PC, or need to troubleshoot network problems. Kindly follow these steps to find the IP address of your computer:

• Select the Start button , start typing View network connections, and then select it in the list.
• Select an active network connection, and then, in the toolbar, select
  View status of this connection. (You might need to select the chevron icon to find this command.)
• Select Details. (Your PC's IP address appears in the
  Value column, next to IPv4 Address).
