How to Stop Windows 10 Automatic Updates From Consuming your Mobile Data
If you have the windows 10 experience, you will know that this is not a trivial issue. Two days ago, I had more than 3.5gb data on my MTN line. I tethered the internet connection from my phone to my windows 10 laptop. I dozed off and in two hours time when I woke up, I saw a message on my phone saying I have exhausted my data and my internet connection has been suspended. To cut the long story short, I found out that my system was running automatic updates and even though my 3.5gb data was exhausted the automatic update was at 86%.
Thanks to GTBANK 737 service, I reloaded my line with N2,000 immediately so that I can continue what I needed to do online. The problem is that Windows 10 does not allow you disable automatic updates for security features. If you are using Windows 10 professional, Windows 10 enterprise, or Windows 10 Educational, you can differ feature updates(under advanced options) but even this can only be effective for some months; in other words, you can only buy time because the update must be downloaded whether you like it or not. The windows 10 users with home license must receive both security and feature updates and serve as the guinea pig for those who have the ability to defer receiving feature updates.
