Windows 10: Disable updates in sleepmode

This is seriously one of the stupidest things there. Why would i want my computer to install updates in SLEEP MODE? It's when i don't want my system to change anything yet i can (and have) lose so much from this. How do i stop it updating in sleep mode and i don't want no you can't disable crap.

Disable updates in sleepmode

It's not automatically downloading thats annoying me so much as it decides to update while my PC is in sleepmode, i don't see how that helps me sorry. I've seen some people say disable it in task scheduler but it won't let me do that despite using the pro
version.

 

Disable updates in sleepmode

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Suggest you to set your network connection as “metered”. Windows 10 won’t automatically download updates on it. Windows 10 will automatically set certain types of connections as metered. However, you can set any connection as a metered connection.

So, if you don’t want Windows 10 automatically downloading updates on your home network connection, need to set it as a metered connection. Windows 10 will automatically download updates when you connect your device to an unmetered network, or when
you set the network it’s connected to as unmetered again.

Follow these steps to reset the power plan settings to default.

• Open CMD in admin mode.
  
• Copy and paste the command ‘powercfg –restoredefaultschemes’ into the command prompt, and press Enter. Once this is done, remember to restart the computer.
  

Hope this helps.
