Windows 10: Delivery Optimization Enabled and Greyed Out

The Delivery Optimization in Windows 10 newest build is NEW and yet on our work PCs that is somehow enabled and greyed out. We did not add or edit or update any GPOs to do this. How did this get enabled and from what I've read, it should be disabled, yet we cannot disable it.

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
