Unless they've completely perverted the network stack in Win 10, which I

easier than pulling the cable and/or reverting to sneakernet.

I don't know how the P2P windows update works, it might need to discover
the updates direct from the Microsoft, and use any local peers as a
download source, or it might discover updates fro local peers too...

I don't know, so I guess he's going to continue to pull the cable. :-)
