Fix for the horrendous Download Speed for Xbox Game Pass Beta!

All right boyz! Finally found how to fix the atrociously slow download speeds on the Xbox Game Pass for PC (BETA) APP. This fix will also be applied to Windows Store App.

I left my computer all night to download Gears 5 just to find out this morning my download was at 25%, got some pretty nice flash-back's from the good'ol Y2K days!

You need to ENABLE a feature called Delivery Optimization which basically enables Peer-2-Peer downloads alongside Microsoft servers.

1. PAUSE your download and close the Xbox Beta or Windows Store APP

Since we all know microsoft download servers are a complete trash right now, it can take several days or weeks (for some) to be able to download a 50+Gb game, this fix will surely boost your downloads to the max possible.

1. Windows-key + R to run a command, type gpedit.msc and hit enter.
2. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Delivery Optimization using the tree hierarchy on the left.

Several policies are listed under Delivery Optimization. The main one is
Download Mode which determines whether Delivery Optimization is enabled, and how it is being used.

Double click "Download Mode" Then here just tick the option "ENABLE" and below select from the drop-down list "Download Mode: Internet (3)" and click
APPLY > OK.

To make sure the setting is enabled now, go to

1. Windows-key + I to open control panel.
2. Navigate to Update & Security > on your left click on Delivery Optimization

Although the options are grayed out, you can now see the ON-OFF toggle is set to the ON position: SUCCESS!

Next and final step is to open-up your Xbox Beta or Windows Store APP and resume download, you will immediately see the speed increase. Mine went from 2-7 Mbps to my max speed of 45-50Mbps

Pro-Tip: You can also do a Ctrl + Shift + ECS then click on Performance tab then click on Ethernet where you can see your REAL download speed with metrics.

Hope it helps and see you at Gears 5!

Non-Related PS: Oh by the way, i have almost ZERO friends on PC to play with, so if you like you can add me hit me up. I play to play Gears 5 and Borderlands 3!
