Windows Optimization. How to disable? At last give us a solution that works.

I have done all these (the last workaround I did yesterday) but today the process turned itself on again. If there is no other workaround to do, then can we safely assume that this process is a Microsoft blunder that cannot be corrected? .

I have done all these steps but the process starts again running in the background. I need a solution that works.

Hello, I'm sorry to hear that. Let's try more troubleshooting.

Modify Active Hours:

1. Open the "Settings" app by pressing Windows key + I.
2. Click on "Update & Security" and then select "Windows Update" from the left menu.
3. Under the "Update settings" section, click on "Change active hours."
4. Set the start and end time to cover the period when you typically use your computer. This will prevent Windows Optimization from running during your active hours.

Limit Delivery Optimization:

1. Open the "Settings" app and go to "Update & Security" > "Windows Update."
2. Click on "Advanced options" and then select "Delivery Optimization."
3. Toggle off the "Allow downloads from other PCs" option.
4. Additionally, you can set the "Download settings" to "PCs on my local network" to reduce external network usage.

Check Background Apps:

1. Press Windows key + I to open the "Settings" app.
2. Go to "Privacy" and select "Background apps" from the left menu.
3. Toggle off any apps that you don't need running in the background. This can help reduce unnecessary network usage.

Reset Windows Update Components:

1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator. Right-click on the Start menu, select "Command Prompt (Admin)."
2. Type the following commands one by one and press Enter after each:

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

3. After running these commands, restart your computer.
