Seems like network test

Try restarting the router/modem. Also, log-off and login your PC's user account.

Even though my browser and any application requesting internet is closed i see an activity. Why i can see only downstream no upstream.

I cant restart my pc as Windows 10 is installing

Then that's probably Windows 10 installing updates in the background.

Windows10 download is over. Also hostname was msedge.net when downloading updates

Don't worry, it's downloading your Win 10 update if you are still not updated. Or some other requested background stuff (check with wireshark or another packet analyzer)

I see the same and the request URL is *aupl.v4.b1.download.windowsupdate...._9d40e15f430ab89a1eabb165acbf40c9f07d18bb.esd

So basically your requests are routed through your ISP. That's why you see bsnl ip there.

Thanks [MENTION=20614]Faun[/MENTION] thats quite relieving but my downloads are over it says "Preparing for installation"

Even though it is downloading why route by ISP since I see direct MS hostname few minutes ago

You can capture using wireshark and find out what else it is downloading. Even through your downloads are over MS might be downloading few other things.

I am not sure why ISP ip is showing. May be because it's a background process.

Looks like good chunk of windows 10 setup.

[Strike]You mean to say there is an ISO also downloading in background. Actually I kicked one in evening but cancelled it.[/strike] nvm you meant faun

Anyway restarted the machine my machine said installing updates 1 of 1 and I'm waiting for more than 20 min and no sign of restarting. Something screwed :(

As mentioned by [MENTION=20614]Faun[/MENTION] it is Windows update via ISP
