Windows 2018 October 10 Update is now rolling out globally. Although a serious problem has already been detected on computers, which causes files or entire folders to disappear on the computers of some users who have updated. Therefore, it may be a good idea to postpone this update on your computer, to avoid problems.
Many users do not know how it is possible to do this. There are several ways, depending on the version of Windows 10 you have (Home, Pro, Enterprise…). Although there is a method that works in all, and it is also the simplest of all.
The fastest and simplest way to delay the arrival of this update to our computer is to establish our connection as metered use. In this way, if we have a limited data plan, it will allow us to have more control over them. For this reason, converting the connection as a metered one is extremely useful. Also in this case.
Since in this way, Windows 2018 October 10 Update will not install automatically on our computer. We will have the possibility to decide. Considering the problems out there, it's not bad. To do this, we go to the computer configuration.
Within the configuration we go to the network and internet section. As soon as we enter this section, we look at the screen, in the center, where we will see a text that says "change connection options" appears in blue. We then click on it. There, one of the options that we get is to establish the connection as metered use. We simply have to flip the switch.
In this way, the Windows 10 October update will be postponed. It will not be installed automatically in the computer. We will be the ones who will have to do it manually. But, given the problems it is generating, it is good to wait a while. In fact, Microsoft itself has already stopped it.
