Latest Windows 10 Upgrade - Beware

My machine yesterday upgraded to a higher Windows 10 version - and it took forever.

It is quite a big upgrade as there appear to be some significant changes.

My machine is now slower, but it seems to be picking up again as I use it.
Time will tell.

However, two things to note.......

1. The upgrade started unannounced and I was unable to prevent it implementing. So if this happens to you just go with the flow!

2. More serious is the fact that Windows uses your machine now on a "peer to peer" basis to upgrade other machines in the net - this chomps your bandwidth, so you need to turn this feature off. I picked this up purely because I monitor bandwidth and thought I had a virus as I do not use peer to peer programs.

You can switch this feature off however, so do this now. If you don't then I assume you have money to throw away!

Rather than me explain (I don't get paid by Windows and they waste enough of my time already), here is a pretty decent clear explanation of how to do it.....
