Win10 update package secretly downloaded to the local: C drive is small, broadband arrears

Microsoft on July 29 officially launched the official version of Win10 operating system. Compared with previous versions of the operating system, Win10 official version has cross-platform and can run on PC, tablet and smart terminal devices at the same time. Of course, the official version of Win10 also has more unique features.

However, when the Win10 push upgrade was started on July 29, some users found that Microsoft adopted the P2P upgrade method, and its bandwidth was occupied by “nothing”.

The same is to traffic to users, Inquirer reported that they have confirmed that Microsoft will quietly download the Win10 update package locally, even those who did not choose to join the free update program.

The source of the incident is consumer complaints. They found that their C-space is inexplicably reduced. After careful searching, it was found that the file named ~BT occupies 3.5GB to 6GB. The data shows that this is an upgrade package that Microsoft has prepared for upgrading Win10.

Another point of anger is that some of the broadband users who are charged by the flow meter are horribly miserable, and they are pitted without any vigilance.

Inquirer has verified this with Microsoft and has been confirmed by the other party. This situation will appear on Win7 and Win8.1 users who have enabled "Automatic Updates for Windows".

In addition, the system download process and the monthly "Patch Tuesday" update are kept in sync, so you may find an unusually large update in the "Patch Tuesday" update.

The foreign netizen who was informed of the news expressed dissatisfaction with Microsoft. Dave Allanach said with anger, "How dare you Microsoft?" ……”.

For this matter, the party that supports Microsoft said that the Redmond giants really "always encounter the soldiers", while the opponents insist that Microsoft is doing this for the users. The act of small actions exacerbates the outside world’s distrust of them.

What do you think about this?
