    How to schedule the download time for Windows Update packages


    How can I schedule the download time for Windows Update so that it only downloads during Off Peak data times, typically 01:00 to 07:00 with my satellite broadband provider

    Please note that I am not asking to schedule the restart, only the downloading of the update packages.

    This was easy in Windows 7 but I can not find the function in Windows 10 Pro ver. 1803

    This problem is costing me money each month in data usage, far more than the cost of a new Windows 10 installation package (which would then need to be updated, so I'm a lose/lose situation)

    :)

    How to schedule the download time for Windows Update packages

    Scheduling Downloads


    Hi there,
    You could always get Windows to check at 3AM that way it would download once it's checked. To change the time Windows check for updates simply do the following...

    1. Go to Action Center
    2. Look for the Automatic Maintenance section
    3. Put a check in the Allow scheduled maintenance to wake up my computer at the scheduled time check-box
    4. Optionally set the exact time (to the hour) when Windows should wake up and check
