1.     Turn off delivery optimization

As Windows installs an update or app using Distribution Optimization, it can scan for other PCs on your local network (or from the Internet, depending on your settings) who have already downloaded the update or app. Windows doesn’t download the whole file from a single site. The download is broken down into smaller pieces instead. Windows would then get parts of the upgrade or software from the PCs that have it, and parts from Microsoft. Windows uses the easiest, most secure update source for each portion of it.

Steps

1. Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced options.
2. Select Delivery Optimization
3. Turn it off

2.     Change power plan of your PC – Turn on high performance mode

Computers have various power plans (usually Balanced, Power Saver, and High Performance) to monitor how power is used by the machine.

Notice that this will only work on your desktop, as the High-performance mode on your laptop will kill the power.
