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,:

Hope this information is helpful.

This fixed my problem. At least for now. Thanks

The problem is back!

The problem is actually not in sharing the updates, but in the early P2P nature of the Delivery Optimization service used by Windows Update.  Even with Delivery Optimization having been told that it's not to share it's updates, it still opens multiple connections to the Windows Update servers.  With 10+ connections all trying to use maximal bandwidth, there is barely room for another connection to get a word in edgewise.  This is actually why your internet connection seems to quit every time updates are being done.

If Microsoft would give users access to the speed controls that they built into Delivery Optimization (See policy DOMaxDownloadBandwidth) users could solve this for themselves.  Or if MS forced Delivery Optimization to only open 1 connection to the Microsoft servers, then it would play nicely with others and share the bandwidth when not set to share with the Internet.

BITS was better.  If you have Win10 Pro or higher you can, through gpedit.msc, tell Delivery Optimization to use BITS instead, but manually setting this on Win10 Home doesn't work....  Come on MS, do you have to go out of your way to cripple the home version everywhere you can?

This "solution" did not solve my problem. In my computer (Win10 Home) the culprit was not the Windows Update itself but caused but the app update from the Windows Store. I have installed Win10, both Home and Pro version on at least 5 computers since the release and I always made sure the "Updates from more than one place" is switched off however this WUDO thing keeps hogging the bandwidth for itself and ignores the active hour setting. I took me until a few days ago to realize it was not Windows Update after all but actually an app (game) that I installed recently from Windows Store was updating itself. So I tried these steps:

1. Open Windows Store app
2. Go to Settings (click you profile picture to access the menu)
3. Switch off the "Update apps automatically"

It solved my problem for now but this is just a workaround and you will have to update Windows Store apps manually from here on. Until Microsuck learn to honor the "Updates from more than one place" setting is already switched off then this is the only way to do it, or you can get the bandwidth control software such as NetLimiter or NetBalancer to control the background download speed (sadly none of them are free though).

Hi,

Have you tried the steps provided by SujataMoktan and halfey on this thread yet?

Regards.

Same issue was bothering me ..

To resolve this 
go to task manager

open the service delivery optimisation's properties

Open services

then disable the delivery optimisation process

and restart your system
