Windows Update Delivery Optimization (WUDO) is a feature in Windows 10 that allows devices to download updates and apps from Microsoft and other sources, such as PCs on the local network or the internet. It helps to reduce the bandwidth usage and speed up the update process by sharing downloaded updates with other devices. In this article, we will explore the importance of WUDO in the Windows environment and provide instructions on how to optimize its settings for better performance.

WUDO is particularly valuable for organizations with multiple Windows devices connected to the same network. By enabling WUDO, devices can share updates locally, reducing the need for each device to download the same update individually from the internet. This not only saves bandwidth but also speeds up the update installation process.

Examples:
1. Enabling WUDO:

• Open the "Settings" app in Windows 10.


• Go to "Update & Security" and click on "Delivery Optimization."


• Toggle the "Allow downloads from other PCs" option to enable WUDO.

2. Optimizing WUDO settings:

• Open the "Settings" app and go to "Update & Security."


• Click on "Delivery Optimization" and then "Advanced options."


• Adjust the settings according to your preferences, such as limiting the download bandwidth used by WUDO or choosing to download updates only from PCs on the local network.

3. Monitoring WUDO activity:

• Open the "Settings" app and go to "Update & Security."


• Click on "Delivery Optimization" and then "Activity monitor."


• Here, you can see the download and upload activity of WUDO, as well as the devices it has interacted with.
