Windows 10: How does delivery optimization work?

I want share a Microsoft game with my brother but i don't want download it again. Does delivery optimization work in this situation? If yes how does it work and how can i notice if it is working or not?

:)

 

delivery optimization is consuming too much 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!

 

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



Additional info:

• Windows Update Delivery Optimization and privacy
  
• Delivery Optimization for Windows 10 updates
  
• Delivery Optimization reference
  

If you have further queries, I would suggest you to post your query in the
