Is Windows 10 ignoring sysadmins' network QoS settings?

Re: @ chopsywa

I haven't seen any other traffic causing an issue. It is specifically the update process and it is the inbound traffic that runs amok. I thought it might be a flood of syn acks as I had seen a huge surge in connections (several thousand in several seconds) that then died down. However, the packet trace I took whilst the problem was occurring seem to indicate that the connections are fully open and the sending server (Akamai) is just hammering the external interface even though the router is dropping packets to try to throttle the connections back.
