    Is there a way besides setting networks to metered and disabling automatic updates in...


    I ask because those two methods, which are the ones most commonly found on the internet, no longer work. Windows overrides their customers' preferences and settings and shuts down/restarts their personal computers at random times, losing unsaved information during, say, a bathroom break. I have a feeling that the only answer is to stop using Windows products, but looking for alternatives since I would have done that years ago if the software I used wasn't in cahoots with Microsoft. I have had no luck solving this with their support.

    Thanks!

    :)

  3. 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.

    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.
