Windows 10 is known for tying up bandwidth but updates shouldn’t hog it to this extent. Are youy on wireless or cabled and if so, what speed are you running at? Wireless 2.4GHz is actually quite slow especially compared to a Gigabit cabled link.
Try uninstalling that update and follow this for deferring future updates (it only works for wireless connections):
Setup A Metered Connection
Windows 10 offers users on metered connections a compromise: to save bandwidth Microsoft confirms the operating system will only automatically download and install updates it classifies as ‘Priority’.
While Microsoft doesn’t reveal its method of classification, this does cut down more frivolous updates which typically include new drivers and software features – both of which have already caused stability problems.
Open the Settings app (Win + I)
Open the ‘Network & Internet’ section
Open ‘Wi-Fi’ and click ‘Advanced Options’
Toggle ‘Set as metered connection’ to ‘On’
Note: If your PC uses an Ethernet cable to connect to the Internet the Metered Connection option will be disabled as it works with Wi-Fi connections only (silly I know).
