Off: This disables the data sharing feature entirely. You will only download updates as you used to be via the Microsoft servers. PCs on my local network: Well, this is the best option I will recommend because this option lets you share Microsoft’s updates to your home or work network. In other words, you only have to download the updates on one of your PC connected to your home Wifi and all the other PC connected to the same network will get the updates without using the internet.
