Default I just had a radical idea

Why can't Microsoft post a notification when they are downloading

download bandwith disappeared.

Even more radical - why don't they wait till it is outside of my set active
hours. Then it really wouldn't matter if they take up a majority of my
bandwidth, because I will be in bed sleeping the sleep of the just.

Just a thought, but to paraphrase a popular song, "Gee it would be nice if
you did."

It definitely would be nice to know when updates are going to be
downloaded. Now the only way to know is when the machine starts acting
strange or slow.

If there was a pre download flag, you could plan for the download. The
download could then be completed faster if you were not using the computer.

PS: Our computers are only on when we are using them, so the times for
download do not apply, as the computer may be off when MS wants to download.
