You can now set your device to download updates automatically over metered internet connections in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. Here's how.
Windows 10 includes a feature that allows you to configure a network connection as metered. This option comes in handy when you're connected using a limited data plan, and you want to reduce usage to prevent going over the data cap.
However, the feature prevents updates from downloading and installing, which over time can make your device vulnerable to malware, and it blocks your system from getting performance enhancements.
Of course, you can always install updates manually, or temporarily disable a metered connection, but the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update introduces a new option that allows you to set a network connection as metered while letting you keep your device secure and updated with automatic updates.
