I through in the towel on Win10 with the exception of one machine. Three others that formerly had Windows OS's have now been formatted with Linux Mint.
I just got tired of doing beta testing of Win updates.

I did some updates by hand but they impacted a program that I use a lot and caused it to perform erratically. Fortunately I had made an C drive image and was able to return my pc to pre-update status.

every so often.......2-3 months I change connection back to unmetered and enable updates and bring everything up to date.......and once finished change it back.
Mind you im on classic plan and do this during the free zone.......last time I did it I had about 12 gig worth of updates.

Please be advised the "metered" only works on designated wifi connections. If you connect by Ethernet cable the metered setting will have no effect.
There is registry edit that allows wired connections to be declared as metered but it requires as registry hack.
Also understand that after each Win Update episode that all settings need to be reviewed as many updates will cause Win10 to revert to its default settings.

If your not comfortable editing a registry key(BTW its step by step with pictures) then you could bring your PC to local PC repair shop and im sure they would do it for $20 or less.
Really though Microsoft should stop hiding stuff in the registry and add it to the main interface like they do the WiFi.
