Windows 10: Microsoft Delivery Optimizer will never stop downloading

Noticed that near 100% of my bandwidth is going to DoSvc a few days ago and have gone through every fix I could find online with no resolution.My PC is not receiving data from other PC's There aren't any locally.It is set as a metered connection.And there is nothing to be downloaded from the MS StoreI can't manually kill this service because it just auto restarts a few seconds later. I need to constantly disconnect the machine from the internet because it eats my limited mobile data.Any help would be much appreciated.

Windows 10 - Delivery Optimization hogging bandwidth

Windows update Delivery optimization is a Microsoft service that takes care of updates (windows + Microsoft Store Apps).

There are 2 things you can do to solve this problem:

1. Stop Windows update delivery Optimization:

• Go to Settings
• Click on Update & Security
• Click Advanced Options
  
• Click on Delivery Optimization
• Set Slider(Allow Downloads from other PCs) to off

2. Disable Automatic App updates from Microsoft Store:

(Note: Doing this will stop you from getting any updates from Microsoft Store. However, you can do this manually. These apps include Groove music player, mail, Movies & TV etc.)

• Go to Microsoft Store
• Go to menu
• Select Settings
• Set slider(Update Apps automatically) to off
• Restart your device
  

 

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
