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!

    So just for anyone who is still having this issue 99% of the time this is caused by the microsoft store auto updating things even if you have auto updates off it will still update stuff because you know its microsoft. the only thing you can do is open up the microsoft store and pause all updates and that will stop delivery op from just starting again, also turn on stop auto updates because it does work like 70% of the time

    I just had the same problem but figured out it was the Microsoft store updating games that was using the bandwidth for me.

    I just started getting this process overwhelming my internet usage.  Did not notice it until I was attempting to play a competitive game on line, and my ping shot up from 55 MS, to 350MS and stayed that way.  I stopped this process multiple times, and each time I did, my ping would go down again.  For some reason, this process has an automatic restart, and would just start again a few minutes later.  Cant go into its properties and disable it, adjusted its so called limits, did nothing, and no way to stop it.  been going on for 4 hours now... sucking up a download speed of 25.2 Mbps... which is impressive, given that steam can barely break 10, when I am trying to download something.  PLEASE FIX THIS.

    i had the same problen(still have). solution(quick n dirt) :kill the task named 'DELIVERY OPTIMIZATION'

    Another solution: go to task bar . search for delivery optimization n right click on it n select services.a new services window open up. in the new window scroll down to find deliivery optimization n right click on it n select properties.in its properties dialog go ahead n turn its startup trigger to manual or disabled. 

    win 10 has so so so many problems n i hate it when i have to make comments in threads to help people who microsoft should be helping instead. get yo' business togetheter MS . n try offering real working solutions atleast or are you all incompetent as hell?
