I just had a radical idea

You use GPEDIT.msc and the Administration section
of the top part. There are three settings.
A setting to bypass DoSvc. Two settings for BITS max connections.
The picture in that article, shows Delivery Optimization
has been disabled by GPEDIT. At the top here, I sort by "State"
in GPEDIT, so the settings I've modified, float to the top.

I'm not saying this is an "optimal" way to run Windows 10.

It was merely an experiment to see if the abysmal round robin
abuse of a router could be stopped or not. So you could actually
use your Internet connection from a second machine, while Windows
10 is doing an Upgrade Install. Windows 10 considers it OK to
do the "pre-load" portion of an Upgrade, during active hours.
The active hours setting is only there when it comes time for
a reboot to do the actual install, and they can then pester
you outside of active hours to reboot. It means it's possible
the downloading will happen during prime time.

And the weird part is, the Win10 machine is a trifle less usable
when the downloads are happening. Even though only one connection
is open.
