Just ran across this and thought that some folks who are on metered bandwidth would be interested.
Windows 10 actually steals bandwidth from your ISP connection so that Microsoft can use your computer, and your connection, to send MS updates to their other customers.
Huh? Say what?
Yep. It's a devious little feature called Windows Update Delivery Optimization. It's enabled by default. For Enterprise and Education users, it operates over the local LAN. For ordinary Home type users, Microsoft can send their data update goodies to potentially any PC on the global Internet -- from your PC, over your Internet connection. On your dime.

I've asked this question before, but no one deigned to answer it.
This new Windows 10 thing--is this something we're going to have to install ourselves, or is it something Microsoft is going to install automatically without any acts on our parts?

You will have the option to install it yourself.

Thank you, sir!
Usually I just let the programs install themselves without any assist from me.
