Windows 10: I can't seem to save my settings on the 'Delivery Optimization'.

I'm having some trouble with downloads from the Microsoft store. I attempted to fix this by going to settings/update&security/deliveryoptimization/advancedsettings and ticking the option to 'limit how much bandwidth is used for downloading updates in the background'. But for some reason, it never saves my changes.

But for some reason, it only affects the download portion of it. My settings for anything else in the Delivery Optimization is saved except the setting i want to change

How does Windows Delivery Optimization detect the bandwidth available?

Hi Jason,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In the heart of the Windows kernel there is a networking stack. It contains a suite of algorithms that would determine the available bandwidth.



You can use the PowerShell cmdlets to monitor the delivery optimization.
Get-DeliveryOptimizationStatusreturns a real-time snapshot of all current Delivery Optimization jobs. For more information, I would suggest you
to refer to the article: Set up Delivery Optimization for Windows 10 updates
