Despite the main aim, users faced many issues after the update was implemented such as high disk usage or periods of slow performance of the computer. There are a number of workaround present to solve the issue. Take a look.
Solution 1: Turning off Update from more than one place
As we discussed above, Microsoft now fetches pieces of update using the network of computers with whom your machine is connected with through the internet. We can disable this feature which will mean that the update could only be downloaded using the regular method.
Solution 2: Disabling Automatic Updates in Store Application
It is also possible that your Windows Store is automatically downloading the updates in the background which is causing the problem. Windows Store often seems to be ignored due to the fact we don’t use it on daily basis. However, it is an important contributor to the problem as it downloads and implements updates to store apps similar to the main Windows Update mechanism.
Solution 3: Editing Group Policy
If both solutions don’t work, we can try changing the group policy. Do note that changing the policies you don’t know about can hamper the computer. Only change the policies which are instructed in the solution. We will try disabling the delivery optimization completely and select another policy on its behalf. We will try to limit the bandwidth when download automatic updates to help in controlling the internet allocation. Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Delivery Optimization
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
Now restart your computer as a good measure and check if the problem got solved.
Solution 4: Checking Background Downloads
Many people reported that they had windows applications downloading/updating in the background when they started experiencing this problem. Windows applications (accessible thorough store) also make use of delivery optimization and its policies for downloading and updating themselves. You should open Windows Store and check for any pending or current downloads. Attend to them as soon as possible to stop the computer from going into such high disk usage.
Solution 5: Running Clean Boot
If all of the above solutions don’t work, we can try Clean Booting. This boot allows your PC to turn on with a minimal set of drivers and programs. Only the essential ones are enabled while all the other services are disabled. If the usage is perfect in this mode, you can restart your computer with turning on a very minimal set of programs (in small chunks such as 10 or 15). If the problem still doesn’t pop up, you can activate more programs and so on. This will help you diagnose what the problem is.
