    Need solution to schedule updates at my isp's free time


    Ok I live in the woods and use satellite internet (means expensive). They have free download time between midnight and 5am I had Windows 8 merrily updating for years. Now pretty new 10 wants to update when ever it wants. Thanks Microsoft, your free upgrade is now very expensive.
    Can anyone think of a hack to tell Microsoft that I need to be in charge of update times?*Mad

    :)

    What happened to Windows Update scheduler?

    Hi Guys,

    I've just upgraded to Windows 10 and I can't find the setting to schedule Windows Update downloads. I'm on a metered connection (satellite ISP) but I have free download hours between midnight and 5:00 AM, so I really need to be able to schedule updates between
    these hours only to keep WU from eating up all my data.

    If you set your connection as Metered, (assuming that works with the connection type you have?) then it seems to stop it downloading the big updates until you manually push a Download button, which is a partial solution:

    Also you can tell it not to download drivers over a metered connection.

    I would think Windows Update would be a service. Can you schedule the service to only run between 12am and 4am?

    The metered option only shows up on wifi connections not on Ethernet from my router.

    You can just use "Task Scheduler" which is a program that has been included in Windows since the land before time.

    If that doesn't work for you, you can just use a 3rd party called "Winaero Tweaker" and set the Windows Update option to just "Notify if there's an update".

    If you want to do it with just using Windows, just run "gpedit.msc" and then change the Windows Update options there.
