fellow gurus in the house, una good evening o.

I bought a new laptop today with Windows 10 pro OS.

I subbed 2gb on my mtn, connected hotspot to my lap and started surfing on the laptop immidiately.

About 30 mins later I just decided to check my data balance only to discover 720 mb left (i didn't download anything o, just normal surfing) I even disabled the auto updates and tried again with a modem, re subbed again this time 1 gb, not up to 20 mins the data is exhausted!!


The laptop is crazy, it drinks data like it's nothing, I no offend any body to deserve this o cry, please what can I do guys I have already disabled software updates but still the same issue!!! ! ..

You need to disable windows update from command prompt.
Type "cmd" on your start button to search for command prompt. Make sure you open the command prompt with administrative privileges by right-clicking and then selecting open as administrator.
Follow the link below to complete the process. Thank me later.

You cannot stop auto update on window 10..
Window 10 will force you to download update.. It's crazy and a lot of people have been complaining about it.


Any hoo,
Lemme teach you this simple trick that will save you your data.

Go to the WiFi settings on your system, chose the current modem you are using, set it as metered network. No more unnecessary background update

You can stop auto updates on Windows 10 by altering the registers. Its a really complex process. So the easier thing to do is wen u connect go to advance options under ur wifi settings and set as metered connection. That should solve ur problem

Na so Windows 10 they chop data and they are mostly for updates. And just so you know, you cannot stop automatic update on most versions of Win 10. Most of its updates are critical such that your laptop might just start behaving funny if you choose not to update.

forget all this one's telling you update, if you're on Windows 10, first open windows store, you should find apps been updated in the background, click on the top right arrow before search bar, cancel all downloads. or open settings, click on update and security, click on update, it's the first on the list, cancel it
cheers!

This Op must be a wicked sombori or he has offended the gods
I mean, how will you buy data and it will just walk away from you like that?
You need to donate that laptop to your pastor ASAP!

On a serious note, if disabling all automatic updates doesn't work, I'm afraid you will have to buy sufficient data to get through the updates at once so you can rest.

What's tha business?
