How To Manage Windows Update In Windows 10

Introduction

 
Microsoft Windows 10 has simplified and automated the Windows Update process at the expense of transparency. You can take some control over this and have Windows 10 install updates on a schedule. Windows 10 doesn’t automatically download updates on it. You can set any connection as a metered connection or a Wi-Fi device.
