If no user is signed in, even if both the Internet Explorer proxy and netsh configuration are set, the netsh configuration will take precedence over the Internet Explorer proxy. This can result in download failures. For example, you might receive HTTP_E_STATUS_PROXY_AUTH_REQ or HTTP_E_STATUS_DENIED errors.
You can still use netsh to import the proxy setting from Internet Explorer (`netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie `) if your proxy configuration is a static *proxyServerName:Port*. However, the same limitations mentioned previously apply.

answer: Yes. Devices obtain the update payloads from the WSUS server, but must also have an internet connection as they communicate with the Delivery Optimization cloud service for coordination.
- question: Which ports does Delivery Optimization use?
answer: |
Delivery Optimization listens on port 7680 for requests from other peers by using TCP/IP. The service will register and open this port on the device. The port must be set to accept inbound traffic through your firewall. If you don't allow inbound traffic over port 7680, you can't use the peer-to-peer functionality of Delivery Optimization. However, devices can still successfully download by using HTTP or HTTPS traffic over port 80 (such as for default Windows Update data).

Delivery Optimization attempts to identify VPNs by checking the network adapter type and details. A connection is treated as a VPN if the adapter description contains certain keywords, such as "VPN" or "secure."
If the connection is identified as a VPN, Delivery Optimization will suspend uploads to other peers.

- question: How does Delivery Optimization determine which content is available for peering?
answer: |
Delivery Optimization uses the cache content on the device to determine what's available for peering. For the upload source device, there's a limited number (4) of slots for cached content that's available for peering at a given time. Delivery Optimization contains logic that rotates the cached content in those slots.
- question: What is the recommended configuration for Delivery Optimization used with cloud proxies (for example, Zscaler)?
answer: |
The recommended configuration for Delivery Optimization Peer-to-Peer to work most efficiently along with cloud proxy solutions (for example, Zscaler) is to allow traffic to the Delivery Optimization services to go directly to the internet and not through the cloud proxy.
At a minimum, the following FQDN that is used for communication between clients and the Delivery Optimization service should be allowed with direct Internet access and bypass the cloud proxy service:
- *.prod.do.dsp.mp.microsoft.com
If allowing direct Internet access isn't an option, try using Group Download Mode '2' to define the peering group. [Learn more](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-the-source-of-group-ids) about using Group Download mode.
- question: How do I turn off Delivery Optimization?
answer: |
Delivery Optimization is an HTTP downloader used by most content providers from Microsoft. When a device is configured to use Delivery Optimization peering (on by default), it does so with the HTTP downloader capabilities to optimize bandwidth usage.
If you'd like to disable peer-to-peer capabilities of Delivery Optimization, change the Delivery Optimization [Download mode](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode) setting to '0', which will disable peer-to-peer and provide hash checks. [Download mode](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#download-mode) set to '99' should only be used when the device is offline and doesn't have internet access.
> [!NOTE]
> Disabling Delivery Optimization won't prevent content from downloading to your devices. If you're looking to pause updates, you need to set policies for the relevant components such as Windows Update, Windows Store or Edge browser. If you're looking to reduce the load on your network, look into using Delivery Optimization Peer-to-Peer, Microsoft Connected Cache or apply the [network throttling policies](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#maximum-download-bandwidth) available for Delivery Optimization.
- question: Delivery Optimization is using device resources and I can't tell why?
answer: |
Delivery Optimization is used by most content providers from Microsoft. A complete list can be found [here](waas-delivery-optimization.md#types-of-download-content-supported-by-delivery-optimization). Oftentimes customers may not realize the vast application of Delivery Optimization and how it's used across different apps. Content providers have the option to run downloads in the foreground or background. It's good to check any apps running in the background to see what is running. Also note that depending on the app, closing the app may not necessarily stop the download.
- question: What Delivery Optimization settings are available?
answer: |
There are many different Delivery Optimization [settings](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md) available. These settings allow you to effectively manage how Delivery Optimization is used within your environment with control s on bandwidth, time of day, etc.

## New in Delivery Optimization for Windows 10, version 20H2 and Windows 11
There are two different versions:
- New peer selection options: Currently the available options include: 0 = None, 1 = Subnet mask, and 2 = Local Peer Discovery. The subnet mask option applies to both Download Modes LAN (1) and Group (2). If Group mode is set, Delivery Optimization will connect to locally discovered peers that are also part of the same Group (have the same Group ID)."
- Local Peer Discovery: a new option for **[Restrict Peer Selection By](waas-delivery-optimization-reference.md#select-a-method-to-restrict-peer-selection)** (in Group Policy) or **DORestrictPeerSelectionBy** (in MDM). This option restricts the discovery of local peers using the DNS-SD protocol. When you set Option 2, Delivery Optimization will restrict peer selection to peers that are locally discovered (using DNS-SD). If Group mode is enabled, Delivery Optimization will connect to locally discovered peers that are also part of the same group, for those devices with the same Group ID).

- **How do the results from the Delivery Optimization PowerShell cmdlets compare to the results in the report?**
[Delivery Optimization PowerShell cmdlets](waas-delivery-optimization-setup.md#monitor-delivery-optimization) can be a powerful tool used to monitor Delivery Optimization data on the device. These cmdlets use the cache on the device. The data calculated in the report is taken from the Delivery Optimization telemetry events.
- **The report represents the last 28 days of data, why do some queries include >= seven days?**
The data in the report does represent the last 28 days of data. The query for last seven days is just to get the data for the latest snapshot from past seven days. It's possible that data is delayed for sometime and not available for current day, so we look for past 7 day snapshot in log analytics and show the latest snapshot.

Overlap in device membership is a common scenario when working with device-based Azure AD groups since sometimes dynamic queries can be large in scope or the same assigned device membership can be used across different Azure AD groups.
Since Autopatch groups allow you to use your existing Azure AD groups to create your own deployment ring composition, the service takes on the responsibility of monitoring and automatically solving some of the device conflict scenarios that may occur.

- **Status: Active**
The Windows Autopatch team is aware that all device conflict scenarios listed below are currently being evaluated during the device registration process to make sure devices are properly registered with the service, and not evaluated post-device registration. The Windows Autopatch team is currently developing detection and resolution for the followin device conflict scenarios, and plan to make them available during public preview.
- Default to Custom Autopatch device conflict detection and resolution.

> - Review your software update deployment requirements thoroughly. If your deployment requirements allow, try using the Default Autopatch group as much as possible, instead of start creating Custom Autopatch groups. You can customize the Default Autopatch to have up to 15 deployment rings, and you can use your existing device-based Azure AD groups with custom update deployment cadences.
