Have accidentally forgotten to turn back metered connections on during restart to no ill affect.
Note: not sure it matters as I’m on Win 10 Pro, but I keep ‘metered connections’ on at all times until I actually un-hide and do updates. Only then do I go into Win Update Stgs AND as it starts to scan, quickly click on ‘Pause Updates’, then quickly click on ‘Resume’ (which will show up above, where ‘check for updates’ usually is.) It will complete scan and say “You’re up to date”. I check again winshowhide twice (unticking advanced):ġ.checking nothing is left to hide, 2.
When you get to PK’s point “ *restart …may take 36 hrs …”, I do this Matador’s trick:
Then follow PKCano’s Clear The Queue instructions. When I’ve found an update snuck in prior to my morning winshowhide trigger finger, I have simply re-run winshowhide (clicking ‘advanced’ tab lower left corner and unticking checkmark), hide updates I don’t want, then re-run winshowhide (unchecking ‘advanced) to ensure they are indeed hidden and again to ensure there are no more to hide.
