That would be perfect! But I am not paying MS $7 a month so they can remove features. I like my kill updates solution for now. This really should be a default on business products like Dell 9550.
- AlexeyBrin 8y agoIf you change the Network to Metered Connection it will only give you updates for Windows Defender and Security Updates. Doesn't seem to do any download by itself. Also, if you are a developer LTSB edition is a non starter. You can't install Visual Studio 2017 on it :).

- AlexeyBrin 8y ago(I hope you are not talking about Visual Studio Code which is a an entirely different product.) I've tried Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition on Windows 10 LTSB a few months ago and it never worked. Good to hear it worked for you.
- AlexeyBrin 8y agoWow, you were right, now it works! Thanks for the heads up.
