  1. Why does microsoft not remove delivery optimization from Windows 11, it is kills bandwidth...


    Delivery optimization is basically a windows based virus that kills the available bandwidth of Windows 11 users when on limited bandwidth connections. And even if I disable it, it comes back automatically as soon as I do an update. It is terrible programming, that acts like a Microsoft sponsored virus. Remove it from future versions.

    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:



    If you have further queries, I would suggest you to post your query in the
    TechNet Forums, where we have support professionals
    well equipped with the knowledge on Delivery Optimization.

  3. Windows 10 - Delivery Optimization hogging bandwidth

    Hi Abhishek,

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.


    • Click the Start menu button (or type “settings” in the search box), choose Settings and click Update & security (toward the bottom of the Settings window).

    • From within the Windows Update tab, click Advanced options.

    • Under Choose how updates are installed, change Automatic (recommended) to Notify to schedule restart:

    • Next, click Choose how updates are delivered

    • Under Updates from more than one place, switch the toggle to Off:

    • Click the upper-right X to close the window; your changes will be saved.


    Let me also inform you that this is an integral feature of Windows 10 as updates are installed automatically. To know more about Delivery Optimization,:

    For the FIFTH TIME, windows delivery optimization has stolen over 30g in one hour. No solutions to turn it off have worked. My bandwidth is limited, and I pay for everything Microsoft steals. Standby for the class action lawsuit.
