What build are you using? (search start for winver open that build will be shown). Thinking it may have had to original build waiting and be downloading a new one.
Open Store, click the face icon near top right, Download and updates and check for updates. Install all those.
Check Settings > Update & Security > Check for updates see what that is doing.
Will download updates but that should not last.
If all that is done then Check Settings > Update & Security > Advanced Options > Choose how updates are delivered, turn that to off. Will stop any bandwidth but that would mostly uploads.

Hi,
From our experience, Windows 10 update doesn’t take quite bandwidth, maybe other programs are also downloading or uploading at the same time, we’d better check this point in advance.
If you confirm that Windows update causes current situation, there is a link introduces how to disable P2P updates in Windows 10, please have a look, it will give you prompt.

Best regards
