Windows 10: Disable Delivery Optimization

Is there a way to permanently disable Delivery Optimization?


HP Pavilion 570-p076na Desktop PC: Windows 10 Home 64-bit.


In Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced options > Delivery Optimization: “Allow downloads from other PCs” is turned Off.


With random frequency, my computer installs a folder called Delivery Optimization that contains a sub-folder called Cache that contains no files.

When I delete this folder I receive a pop-up that says I need Admin privileges, for which there is an option. I click on this option and the folder goes to my Recycle bin.


Sadly the folder re-installs itself after a random amount of time (usually a day or so).


I have also tried to disable Delivery Optimization in Component Services (local).


The first picture shows how I set the service to “Disable” Delivery Optimization.


In Properties I set Recovery to “Take No Action” and Reset Fail Count to 0 days.

This second picture is what happens after a random period, when the setting changes from “Disable” to “Manual (Trigger Start)” without my intervention.

The third picture shows what happens after updating my P.C., which I do manually as I have a Metered Connection – the Service resets to “Running” again.

Is there a way to permanently set the service to “Disable” so that it does not restart itself, which also results in the creation a folder on my Desktop?
