I'm pretty familiar with Win7-Pro, but just got my first Win-10-Pro
system
DELL XPS-8930
Win-10-Pro 10.0.15063
Question 1: Where is the control to set the maximum download speed of
the connection (I want to use a "throttled" or "metered" connection to
limit update downloads.) It is not in the Windows Update settings or
advanced settings as some web sites describe.
Question 2: Update seems to take forever. After listing four updates,
including a cumulative one, it took hours to download them. It then
went into "preparing to install," where it is now at 12% after about
four hours.
Question 3:: I looked at the windows error reporting. That was today
3/21/18 at 7:09 PM as shown on the desktop clock. The last error
listed says it was 03/21/18 at 7:50 PM. There were several others with
times after the actual time. I know, forecasts G.
I'd appreciate any wisdom from you folks.

Dan,
You are running the "Creators Update" version 1703. The next version is
1709 which is the Fall Creators update.
1. Do a search from the lower left corner near the Start icon. You may have
a a Search window or a magnifier icon. Just enter Dial-Up and that will
take you to the settings page and related setting on the right side.
I did finally find a web page that matches my version of Win-10
https://winaero.com/blog/ethernet-co...ed-windows-10/
3. Double click on the time and date on the task bar (far right side) and
that will open a window with time, date and calendar. At the bottom of that
window, click on the Date and time settings to bring up the next window
where you can adjust settings for everything related. Time zone, date and
time can be set. I have seen the same thing as you but have never looked
into exactly why or what caused it.
Doing this I discovered it was set for central time even though I
originally set it for eastern. Strange. Still doesn't explain (to me
anyway) why the log's times would be almost an hour ahead of the
system time.
You could type Reliability into the search window and that will bring up
historical graph and text entries at the bottom of the graph. Pick a date
and then see if you can find any entries that relate to time.
Nothing shows other than a bunch of "successful" things apparently
related to Windows Update.
