Someone put instructions here a few weeks ago about how to stop automatic updates. It might have been in Chat. I can’t see a topic. I want to stop the lappy doing auto updates because it is only dongle connnection and eats up the Mb (yes, only Mbs).

A friend has offered to do the updates irregularly.

The lappy has nothing on it that anyone could want to look at.

settings>network & internet>advanced options

switch on metered connection

Ta. I’ll turn it on later and do it.

Good. Pity it doesn’t also exist in Windows 7.

I seem to have (almost) the opposite problem. Win 10 doesn’t update.

I now (finally, after a full month of frustrations getting Telstra to make the connection work properly) have ADSL here with a very large download allowance. I’ve checked the “metered connection” setting and it’s off. I’d like to get the latest patches etc to make this little box work properly.

When I go to Settings —-> Update & security —-> Windows Update, Win 10 just continues to look for Windows Update, seemingly forever – well, for hours at least.

Any suggestions as to what I should do next?

Are updates set to ‘automatic’?

Got a tv yet? What was the solution?

Yes, we have working TV. I called an aerial fixing service. It turns out the masthead amplifier had to be injected with electricity from a particular one of the three TV aerial outlets. I have no idea why, when I tried this combination it didn’t work, but you get these glitches sometimes, I guess. Anyway, he knew the house and the set-up, so it was $80 well spent.

We are both here permanently now. Brisbane house is sold.

Inflation proof, I spent about 80 bucks as well.

OK, this is in “Windows Update”, under “Advanced Options”, or so the internet tells me. Unfortunately, “Windows Update” is seemingly unavailable – Lose 10 seems to have lost it.
