How to control Windows Update Delivery Optimization
To stop downloading updates and apps from or sending updates and apps to other Windows 10 devices on the Internet:
- Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced options.
- Select Delivery Optimization (or Choose how updates are delivered in earlier versions of Windows 10).
- Select PCs on my local network.
To stop downloading from or uploading to other PCs on the local network:
- Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced options.
- Select Delivery Optimization.
- Make sure Allow downloads from other PCs is turned Off. You’ll get updates and apps directly from Windows Update and from Microsoft Store with Delivery Optimization; however, you won’t download from or upload to other PCs.
If you use a metered or capped Internet connection, Delivery Optimization won’t automatically download or send parts of updates or apps to other PCs on the Internet.
To identify a Wi‑Fi or Ethernet connection as metered or capped:
- Select the Start button, then select Settings > Network & Internet > Wi‑Fi.
- Select the network you’re using, and then turn on Set as metered connection.
