Hi everyone,

I have Asus i3 laptop that comes with Windows 10.

I have tried a lot to disable the automatic update, because every time it consume the data.

Even though, I set to 5GB monthly update, it's keep downloading the update and restart the PC :(

Now, the automatic update option has been disabled by the system itself (under Services).

Can someone please guide how to restrict the download.

Around March of 2020 MS will release a build splitting updates. Security update if I read correctly will be the updates automatically updated. I'm not certain but I'm thinking we will gain a choice once again for the other updates.

I know that is not helping you now. And I certainly feel your pain. But it at least gives hope for the future.

What version of Windows 10 do you have?

Home, Professional, Enterprise?

Home users cannot disable updates, however Enterprise users definitely can, and given professional editions also includes the Group Policy Editor, it may be possible the solution I have in mind would work for them too.

I have home version which comes with Asus Laptop.

The problem is every-time it download the updates and cross the limit (i.e. 5 gb monthly)

I have no way of testing how this works, but have you tried this option in the settings - updates?

First ensure you have metered connection set if you haven't already...

Settings > Network & Internet. On the left, choose Wi-Fi. On the right, click on your Wi-Fi connection. Move the slider for Metered connection to On.

(Replace Wi-Fi with Ethernet in above steps if using an Ethernet connection.)

Then follow davehc's directions.
