SUPPORT.MICROSOFT.COM - How to temporarily prevent a Windows or driver update from reinstalling in Windows 10

Symptoms:

"In Windows 10, your device is always kept up to date with the latest features and fixes. Updates and drivers are installed automatically, with no need to select which updates are needed or not needed. In rare cases, a specific driver or update might temporarily cause issues with your device, and in this case you will need a way to prevent the problematic driver or update from reinstalling automatically the next time Windows Updates are installed."​

"Microsoft doesn’t provide a way to block updates from within Windows 10, but it does provide a downloadable tool to do this. This effectively allows you to “hide” updates like you could on Windows 7.

If you want to temporarily prevent Windows from automatically downloading and installing any updates, you can do it without using the above tool to block updates. Just set your current Internet connection as “metered” and Windows won’t download updates while connected to it — at least until you tell Windows the connection isn’t metered anymore."

Look it up on the web, "windows 10 metered connection":

I read the links.

So it can be set to metered only if you are connected via WiFi.
Not for me then coz I am mostly connected through wired router or my direct connection. I hardly use my home connection through WiFi.
