Windows 10 Proxy and exceptions gpo

PROXYwindows 10

I have a bit of a strange one.

We have started to roll out windows 10, proxy settings and exceptions are deployed using preferences as per windows 7.

I am getting a lot more load on the proxy server which looks like internal traffic is being sent via it, this looks to be only from windows 10 workstations, among others there is a proxy exception for *.mydomain.com but it looks to be ignoring this, it also seems that the proxy settings are applying to the whole system rather than just internet explorer so SCCM communication etc is going via the proxy server.

Has anyone come across this before?
