Mark Your Internet Connection as Metered to Intercept Windows 10 Forced Updates


Configuring your internet connection to a Metered Connection will require Microsoft to ask for your permission before downloading and installing updates.

Bear in mind that this option will only delay the updates. As soon as you toggle the Metered Connection button to “OFF,” Windows 10 will start downloading updates again automatically.

But as long as the metered connection button is set to “ON,” Windows 10 will never download any update without your permission.

To set your connection as metered, follow these steps:

1. Select Start > PC Settings > Network & Internet Network Status >

2. Select Ethernet (or Wi-Fi) > Network Profile (or Advanced options) >

3. Set metered connection as off.

See screenshot below for the steps:
