Slow202 found a setting in Windows 10 that sends updates to your PC as well as the entire internet (by default).  Although it's not a security breech, it may use unwanted bandwidth from your home modem.

Thanks for the info. I don't mind if I get torrented updates, but I don't want to torrent to other clients, so I still have it on but I selected to get updates from Microsoft but only send updates to PCs on my local network.

Mine was set up like this by default. Is there a way it should be changed?

I changed it to off.
