Windows 10: Delivery Optomisation using all of network's bandwidth

As far as I can tell, Delivery Optimization is using ALL of my network bandwidth, preventing any other programs on my computer from using bandwidth, and stopping the connections of the other computers in my house. This is despite having the main "allow downloads from other PC's" option disabled, AND setting all of the sliders on the advanced page to their minimum. Is there any way to either stop the program from running entirely, or at least a different setting or something to stop this problem? I know it is my computer, not another, because the problem only occurs when I am connected to the network.

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.

Windows 10 - Service Host Delivery Optimization using too much bandwidth even while turned off.

Hi,

There are two ways on how Delivery Optimization works. When you're trying to download an update or an app, it will look for other PC's on your local network or checks neighboring computer that is online that have the app or update. One of the possible reasons
why Delivery Optimization is using too much bandwidth is due to the files size of the app or update you're trying to download. To isolate your issue, we suggest that you set your device to a metered connection. To do this, kindly follow the steps on this
link.

In the meantime, you can also follow the steps provided in this article:

issue. This will be able to diagnose and troubleshoot your issue.
