Windows 10 updates - taking all my internet bandwidth?

[VirtualLarry]

Not even enough (128Kbit/sec?) to listen to internet radio, while downloading updates?

It's ridiculous, this issue has existed since the very first versions of Windows 10. I don't know how they are passing their traffic (bulk UDP spam? Not TCP?), but it hogs my entire internet bandwidth, of my 15/2 connection. (I thought TCP was supposed to somewhat share overall bandwidth equitably?)

It's really annoying. Yes, I DO have "QoS" enabled on my router, which is an Asus AC68R/U, running Shibby Tomato 140. Unless QoS is broken on this build. I don't currently have multi-WAN enabled.

Edit: I noticed some of the QoS classes / categories, were set by default to "Max: 100%", so I changed those to 95%, maybe that was the issue.

I do NOT have any issues with bandwidth. I can listen to the radio feed and watch a separate video sans sound at the same time.
