Large unexplained upload

<< < (3/3)

Willy2:
- I wouldn't be surprised to see your system to have turned into an extra Microsoft server (for distributing Updates to ohter computers). In the last say 10 months there were a bunch of mysterious Updates that were related to "Windows Update". And for those Updates Microsoft only gave minimal or no information on its website of the purpose of those updates. (Since a while I won't install those mysterious updates any more.)

- One thing you could try is to keep an eye on the folder "C:\Windows\Softwaredistribution" and see what that/those folder(s) contain and what happens over there. Delete that folder and see what happens. Windows will re-create the "SofwareDistribution" folder automatically when deleted. In the "Download" folder Windows stores the Original update files but doesn't delete them after an Update. Were/Are there (A LOT OF) large files ?
