not a problem for me as I only run W10 in virtual box (the only fit place to run it anyway) to test software compatibility and it’s easy to disconnect from the internet, plus i won’t be doing anymore updates to W10 anyway.
How? It sounds like this just permits computers in a LAN to share updates over the LAN. That may result in more traffic over the LAN, and it might create security problems, but it should reduce use of Internet bandwidth.
Yeah, but what else gets uploaded?
Bought a new desktop with WIN 10.. pathetic performance, unbelievably slow and latency test was in the red a lot. I got rid of everything possible, turned off just about everything and little change. Reformatted the drive an loaded WIN 7 and it’s running like a champ.
Sorry but the update did not update my delivery preferences.
Im so glad i put win 7 back on !!
Happy Win 7 user here with all updates turned off. MSFT can take Win 10 and stuff it.
The whole idea that MSFT is allowed to take “stuff” from our computers is ridiculous. There’s no accounting.
My Internet access is on a pay as you go basis. MSFT is, in effect, making me pay for them harvesting my data. Outrageous!
“Optimization” == STEALING my hardware cycles and bandwidth to distribute their spyware. Hmmmm. I do not think that word means what you think it means.
so the difference between WUDO (Windows Update Delivery Optimization) and WUSA (Windows Update Standalone Installer) is that WUDO shares bits upstream of your LAN whereas WUSA only makes localized updates available within the confines of a LAN?
Another one step forward and three steps back for Microsoft!
For years I struggled with keeping multiple machines updated on a metered connection and wished for something like WUSA where I could download once and then distribute internally. Microsoft is working with the technology but does so not as a partner but as some sort of pseudo-benefactor. Their attitude is increasingly that we aren’t intelligent enough to take care of our own gear and consequently they have to save us from ourselves.
Thanks for the alert.
You can be assured that this is secure as all Windows operating systems are.
No one minds having strangers using your computer to upload Microsoft updates...... or maybe depositing files as some hacker somewhere will figure out how to do so and do so onto millions of pc’s at once.
Microsoft Windows 10 spyware and now using your computer to share files. They are like some creepy guy looking into your window all the time.
So, in other words, Windows 10 will now become a computer hog when updating. Am I correct?
