Service Host Delivery Optimization using all of my Internet bandwidth. I tried to force stop the process, but it starts again when I restart the PC. 

I have also enabled Metered Connection on both of my wifi and Ethernet.

What is the permanent solution of this problem?

Hi Chandan,

You have to reboot your PC in order for changes to take effect. If the above steps didn't work after reboot, your PC might be installing Windows OS update. Can you check Settings > Update and Securityand check if your system is downloading updates.

If it's not downloading updates and the Windows Update Delivery Optimization is disabled, we suggest doing a clean boot to stop non-Microsoft services from running and isolate possible conflicting software that might be using the Update Delivery Optimization.

Note: Do a normal boot after checking the clean boot.

We look forward to your response.

All the best.

    Hi Chandan,

    Delivery Optimization or Windows Update Delivery Optimizationhelps you get the latest updates for your PC and Windows apps more quickly and reliably. If it's affecting the overall performance of your network connection, you may disable it in the Windows Update- Advanced options. You will get the updates directly from Windows Update and from Microsoft Store after disabling the service. Kindly follow the steps from this article on how to disable Delivery Optimization.
