How to Make Microsoft Download Updates Faster | Small Business -
Windows is downloading updates automatically. I have a quota per day from my ISP. Today, the quota is almost exhausted due to download of updates. As such I am unable to do my regular work. Else I have to buy extra data at higher price. Was this reply helpful? Yes No.
Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I want windows to ask me before starting a download. In earlier versions it was possible. But now Windows is forcibly downloading updates without even my knowing when it is done. Further I am unable to toggle under "Schedule a time" under Restart options as the toggle key is inactive. I am coming to a stage to abandon Windows and go for an alternate OS. I feel that now Windows is enslaving me. That is, it doesn't want to take command from me but it gives commands to me.
I paid and bought Windows 7 that was working fine in my laptop. Microsoft forced me to upgrade to Windows 10 free of charge. Just because they gave it free, they cannot take away my rights. I never asked for an upgrade.
It was forced on me. Last month they updated to the latest version. From then on I have problem or other every day. It is ruining my peace of mind.
Now that we are used to working in computers, cannot keep that devil away also. I am in the state of holding a tiger's tail. I cannot do all what is said in the thread that you mentioned. I will just pull along and one day, who knows, I might break this laptop out of shear frustration. I am with you regarding the inconvenience and arrogance.
I want the convenience of setting the time to download during my cheaper times and also to specify the regularity of downloads for example once a month or every second week which is surely a better option than not at all which is what I have opted for now Microsoft?!!
As this is the option I have chosen I have to deal with the 'update' pop-up at inconvenient times. We do not all have the luxury of unlimited data and I live in a country which has one of the most expensive rates for data South Africa. Because I cannot set a time I would have to sit up til 12 to initiate the downloads.
I completely agree. Windows 10 updates mean I have to get up at 2am to start downloads. If this time was able to be scheduled life would be much simpler. In some months, I get no internet at all because of Windows downloads. Most websites will not work at these low speeds so if the Microsoft download comes on the first day of my usage month, I have no internet at all for 30 days!.

In reply to Paolo Mag's post on December 18, The article is telling about installation and restart of the update. I had to buy extra data twice during the last few months because of this automatic downloads.
In reply to Sharma Umakanthan's post on December 18, We appreciate the information that you have provided. For us to provide an accurate resolution for you to manually download updates on your computer, can you verify how is your computer connected to the internet?
Is it via Wi-Fi connection or are you using an Ethernet cable? We're looking forward to your response. In reply to Paolo Mag's post on December 19, I am using a data card in a dongle to connect to the Internet. The app also meters the consumption. In reply to Sharma Umakanthan's post on December 20, We appreciate the additional information that you have provided, Sharma.
To prevent Windows Update to be downloaded automatically, we recommend that you set your internet connection as metered. If you want to download Windows update, you can just turn off metered connection so that your PC will download the latest Windows update.
Here's a thread that you can refer to on how to set your connection as metered. Kindly update us with the results and if you have further queries, feel free to post back. In reply to Paolo Mag's post on December 21, I visited the thread and I tell you frankly that I cannot do all those settings. Why can't Microsoft send a notification and ask for a convenient time to download it? Sorry, I have come out with my woes.
Thank you for you patience. Sorry for taking your time. What a pitiful answer, and what an arrogant bunch of buffoons at MS. You guys might actually be worse than Adobe. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I guess I'm going to have to familiarize myself with Mac; running my business is just too important to have to wait to run programs because windows needs to do 8 million things in the background constantly!
