Windows 10: delivery optimization is consuming data

Today i became tired of svchost.exe which was using too much data since last update. found in service that it was actually delivery optimization DoSvc, so i did the following:

• disabled delivery optimization in windows setting. didn't work
• disabled " allow downloads from other pc" didn't work
• disabled delivery optimization service in service.msc worked but after the next boot up it came back again
• disabled automatic update in window and windows store. didn't work
• used windows firewall for delivery optimization to stop accessing the network it worked but it restricted my whole computer to use network, including browsers, i dont know why is that?
• used every other tutorial available on internet, but this DoSvc is not in mood of saving my data bill

and yes, I have updated my windows to most latest version perhaps it is what causing the problem so don't suggest me to update.

please help!

Windows Update and Delivery Optimization burning through data on metered connection

We suggest that to manage your connection consume for Windows Update and Delivery Optimization is to configure Delivery Optimization through Group Policy and Windows Update by deferring the Windows Update.

For more information on how to use Group Policy to configure Windows Update Delivery Optimization in Windows 10, check this
link.

Deferring Windows upgrades prevent your device from getting the latest Windows features downloaded or installed for several months. It doesn't affect any security updates. To do this, follow these steps:

• Type Settings in Cortana Search and press
  Enter.
  
• Click Update & Security and click Advance Options under
  Update settings.
  
• Check the tick box for Defer feature updates.

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
