Configure common Delivery Optimization settings for education in Windows

Completed

Windows Delivery Optimization helps you get Windows updates and Microsoft Store apps more quickly and reliably. It works by letting you get Windows updates and Microsoft Store apps from sources in addition to Microsoft, like other PCs on your local network, or PCs on the internet that are downloading the same files. Delivery Optimization also sends updates and apps from your PC to other PCs on your local network or PCs on the internet, based on your settings. Sharing this data between PCs helps reduce the internet bandwidth that's needed to keep more than one device up to date or can make downloads more successful if you have a limited or unreliable internet connection. Delivery Optimization creates a local cache, and stores files that it has downloaded in that cache for a short period of time.
