- mosselman 9y agoThat is a nice feature.
- skgoa 9y agoIt is absolutely necessary. Windows will happily downloads tens of GB worth of updates (or, you know, a full OS that MS is trying to push on you) without the user being able to do anything about it.
- B1FF_PSUVM 9y agoThe 'wifi' may be a 4G router or another phone, makes sense.
- NickNameNick 9y agoIt will download the updates anyway if you only use metered connections for long enough.
- baud147258 9y agoNope. I've stayed months with only a metered connection and Windows did not download anything. And when I switched to non-metered, I got something like 10 Go of updates on one go. But I don't if other software, including other Microsoft products, respect this indication.
