How To Disable Automatic Updates In Windows 10 While Using Hotspot by khalhokage(m): 5:57am On Sep 11, 2015 |
Windows 10 has been programmed to stop automatic updates when you're on a metered connection, so if you connect using a usb modem it won't automatically update your system, but if you use a wifi hotspot the system will not recognize it as a metered connection and that's how your data will be drained on updates, so in other to avoid this i will show you how to set your wifi to be recognized as a metered connection. Enabling the option stops your Windows 10 installation from downloading the updates. To enable the setting, bring up the Start Menu and perform a search for Change Wi-Fi settings. Open the resulting option and navigate to Advanced Options. Locate the Set as metered connection toggle and enable it. ![]() Once you’ve switched the toggle, updates will no longer be pushed to your system by Microsoft, since you’ve explicitly specified that you’re on a metered connection and wish to conserve your data plan. However, the option is only viable for users who exclusively use Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet. If you use an Ethernet cable for Internet connectivity, this option will make no difference. And that's it very simple. |
