 Often while using the computer we need to copy or transfer a file from one place to another on the hard disk, whether transferring a file from Partition "D" to Partition "C" on the desktop, or from the flash drive to the hard drive. When you want to, you have to select the file and right click to get the option "Copy" for copying and "Cut" for transfer, select the appropriate option and then go to the folder you want to add it to. The problem with this method is that it is difficult when it comes to copying or moving multiple files from different folders, so you will find that it is impractical and wastes a lot of time. In this case, the "Send to" option is usually used to make the command smooth and fast, as you specify the location from the submenu and a shortcut to the specified files is created immediately in the specified location. But the shortcuts don't always work, as the original copy must be stored on the same hard d...

What happens when you activate the "Metered connection" feature in Windows 10?

بواسطة Abd Al Rahman Al Tell -

 Windows 10 is designed to work on personal computers, which usually have an unlimited Internet connection, allowing the download and upload tasks to be performed as desired without being asked. However, Windows 10 contains a useful feature called "Metered connection" that helps reduce data usage, and this is necessary for some types of connections.

Microsoft knows that not all Windows 10 users are connected to the unlimited internet, as there are those who connect to limited capacity packages, portable hotspots, or via a phone server, and anything else. Therefore, it was necessary to provide a feature that would make the system realize that you are connected to the limited internet and thus reduce data usage. This was an initial definition of the feature, so let me tell you on this topic how exactly it works, when and how to activate it.

As we indicated, when you activate the Metered connection feature, Windows 10 will know that you are on a limited connection and then take the necessary measures to automatically limit the use of the limited bandwidth or package capacity. These include: disabling automatic downloading of new updates; Instead, you will get a "Download" button that you can click whenever you want to install updates (as shown in the image below), but this does not apply to security updates, as they are important updates and cannot be postponed.

Also, automatic downloading of app updates will be disabled. Windows Store will not automatically download updates for apps installed on your device as long as the "Limited Connections" feature is enabled. But this only applies to store apps, regular programs like Chrome, Firefox, etc. will continue to update themselves normally.


If you don't know, Windows 10 is using your device for the upgrade on other devices, which may consume more data in the background, so once you activate the Metered connection feature, the system stops continuing to do so. Also, keep in mind that some apps will work differently under Limited Communications activity, especially apps downloaded from the Windows Store - they can read this setting to work in a way that makes them friendly to the limited package!

It should be noted that the OneDrive cloud service, which is integrated into Windows 10, will not be affected by activating the "Metered connection" feature, as it will continue to synchronize files as you do and ignore your connection restrictions. Microsoft may change this in the future, however, it is possible to control how much data a service can consume during synchronization operations.

When is the best time to activate the metered connection feature?


According to Microsoft, you should enable the "Metered connection" feature if your ISP limits the data that you can use, or in other words, if you are subscribed to a limited capacity package. However, you might also want to enable it to prevent Windows from using excessive bandwidth, unless you choose to, especially on slower connections.

For example, if you have a Windows 10 laptop or tablet that has a SIM card that can connect to the Internet via cellular data, then Windows will automatically activate limited connections on your behalf. Whereas if you are connected via a mobile network (HotSpot) using your mobile phone, you will need to activate the feature manually, as Windows is unable to realize your limited Internet connection.

You will also need to manually activate the feature if you are connected through a home network, but with a limited package, so that you do not have to renew this package before the specified time. In general, the "Metered connection" feature is very useful when you want to control the automatic updates and downloads that Windows 10 makes, so that you have some kind of control over the system's data consumption and make it work according to your own schedule.

How to activate the "Metered connection" feature in Windows 10

To activate this feature, whether you are connected to the Internet on the device via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable, all you have to do is open the "Settings" application, then go to the "Network & Internet" section, then click on the "Change connection properties" option and in the following properties page, Activate the feature by clicking on the button under "Set as metered connection" as shown in the screenshot.

Note that if you are connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi, this procedure only affects the network you are currently connected to. That is, Windows will remember this setting, and that this Wi-Fi network should be treated as a limited network whenever you connect. But as soon as you leave this network and connect to another, Windows 10 will automatically resume downloading updates and work normally since you did not specify to him that this network has limited connections as well.

How to Fixing Error 0xc00000e9 on WIndows 10? From the error code mentioned in the above post, you may be facing this issue due to the hardware incompatibility or the faulty device drivers installed in the PC. When a device driver is faulty or not working properly, it can be identified by the yellow exclamation mark on the driver in Device Manager. Most of the time updating the faulty drivers will help in resolving the issue. Method 1: Removing the external device and updating the faulty device drivers. Step 1: I suggest you to remove all the external devices connected to your PC except for mouse and keyboard and check if you are able to boot and login into the PC.

We show you how to open and use Disk Cleanup in Windows 10 and use its advanced mode to free up even more space. It’s smart to buy a small SSD to run your OS, but this can lead to its own problems. All too often, temporary files and deleted items can build up, getting your drive so clogged that it can affect performance. Because of this, Microsoft has created the Windows 10 disk cleanup tool, which you can utilize to free up space on your C: drive or any other drive. Unfortunately, low disk space notifications don’t tend to direct you to this tool, instead taking you to Windows storage settings. This leads many to wonder where disk clean up is in Windows 10. Though it isn’t displayed prominently in the settings app, you can find it quite easily in Control Panel or via the Start Menu. Running Disk Cleanup in Windows 10 can free up space by deleting files that you don’t need. The most savings are often found by deleting previous Windows installations and files left in the recycle b...

We show you how to use Windows 10 to delete a user profile to reset an account without deletion or to aid a complete removal.           Adding a new account in Windows 10 creates a user profile, a collection of settings and folders that ensure each person on the PC has a unique, customized experience. This also contains all of their documents, saved games, videos, and more. This can take up some space, but fortunately, Windows lets you delete a user profile if you no longer need it or it gets corrupted. What’s the difference between a user profile and a user account? It’s worth noting that a Windows 10 user profile and a user account are two separates, but somewhat linked concepts. Though a user profile is created when an account is added to a PC, it’s not always deleted when it’s removed. Likewise, you can remove a user profile without deleting the account from Windows 10 and the login screen. For that. Deleting a user profile in Windows 10 can be a stro...
