Disabling Windows 10 Update Uploading

Disabling Windows 10 Update Uploading


In a move that has a lot of users up in arms, Microsoft has changed the way that updates are delivered in Windows 10. The new Windows update system uses a torrent like function of using PCs that have already downloaded an update, to share it back onto the internet. This is fine for users with unmetered internet, but for a lot of users, these uploads churn through their data caps quite fast.


Here is how to disable that feature:

Step 1:


  1. Click on the Start Menu
  2. In the search bar, type "update"
  3. Select "Windows Update Settings"


Step 2


  1.  Click on the option that reads "Advanced Options"



Step 3

  1. Click on "Choose how updates are delivered"


Step 4

Read the information to get an understanding of the options. My recommendation is that you set up the computer to send updates to PCs on the local network. This will actually save you some bandwidth if you have multiple computers running Windows 10 on your local network.

  1. Select the option that works for you (or turn of update sharing all together).
  2. Close the update settings window to apply changes.

Disabling spam email notification of AntispamBee plugin in WordPress multisite

Disabling spam email notification of AntispamBee plugin in WordPress multisite


Antispam Bee is a great spam filtering plugin for WordPress. Its free of charge and ad-free. But the thing is when you apply it for your network, a WordPress multisite with hundred or thousand of blogs, you have to set it up one-by-one. Luckily, I found an easy way to apply the default settings of Antispam Bee for all the blogs, such as disable the spam email notifications or even delete the spam without sending it to the spam folder.

Its quite easy, you just need to open the antispam_bee.php (/path/to/your/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/antispam-bee/) file and modify these lines as following (around line #370, #371):

                                flag_spam             => 0,
                                email_notify          => 0,
