Limit connection - how to disable Windows Update Download when using Mobile Internet. Windows chips: control of traffic applications of parameter changes such as establishing for connecting

Starting with Windows 10 April 2018 UPDATE version 1803, you can install the Ethernet connection as limit. This ability was previously available in previous versions of Windows 10 for mobile networks and Wi-Fi. Let's see how it can be done.

Limit connection- This is an internet connection that has a limited number of traffic. Mobile data transfer connections in Windows 10 are set by default as limit. Network connections and Wi-Fi also can be installed as limit. When using a limit Internet connection, you will shorten the use of data.

In order to install an Ethernet connection, as a limit in Windows, follow these steps.

1. Open the application, the fastest way to press the WIN + I key combination.

1. Go to the section "Network and Internet" → "Ethernet".

If you establish an Ethernet connection as limit, Windows 10 will reduce the amount of data sent and obtained through it. The operating system shuts off unnecessary consensions and tries to save bandwidth.

Keep in mind that Windows 10 does not download updates when the limit connection is turned on. The same is true for Windows store applications - they will not receive updates.

To date, unlimited Internet is no longer uncommon. He is almost in every home. The tariff plans of some operators fully allow to connect unlimited for 250 rubles, but it is only on mobile operators, and that with some restrictions.

Suppose you have the Internet in which traffic is limited, and it happens that without your knowledge, some updates (especially Windows) or MEGabytes of traffic are generally nevertheless.

In this manual, you will learn how to avoid traffic spending using a limit connection, as well as look at the limit connection of Ethernet.

Blog reader San Sanych sent a letter with the topic "Control of Internet traffic", in which he inquired how to disable the background work of modern applications. I answered in the mail, and today I voicate two solutions on the blog.

Your task (in the broad sense of the word) reader did not formulate, so my first answer was telepathic, albeit within topics Letters. I thought that the limit connections would be suitable, which appeared in Windows 8.

Limit connections

Windows itself cares about mobile traffic. Connections to the Internet mobile operator automatically receive limit status, and in this case (I quote help, by the way):

• Windows Update Center will download only priority updates.
• Downloading applications from the Windows store can be suspended.
• Automatic synchronization of standalone files may not work.
• Updating tiles on the initial screen can also be suspended.

In brackets I note that if you have an unlimited unlimited plan, logically change the connection status on unlimited. By the way, pay attention to slippery wording may be suspended. What does it depend on?

As usual, Microsoft implements the API and publishes its recommendations for program creators, and how much they follow them are another question.

You can disable the loading of device drivers and synchronize the parameters, and since you have close integration with oneDrive and search Bing, their mobile traffic can now be monitored too.

Limit connections are designed to create a balance between traffic saves and the best experience, but they did not suit the reader. He just wanted modern applications to be connected to the Internet in the background, i.e. When they are not running. But it's even easier!

Discussion

In modern Windows, many new technologies focused on mobile PCs. In Windows 8.1, changes and improvements touched the mobile Internet under the hood and outside. For example, you have already seen a chip with tentery. It is also interesting that mobile connection can now be used at the Windows installation stages.

In my tablet, the SIM card I never even inserted, because I use it where there is Wi-Fi, or when its absence is insignificant. In principle, Windows Phone can distribute the Internet, but it is rarely necessary for me, because Screen 4.5 "Enough for online dive. Mobile plan I have conditionally unlimited, i.e. With the limit of maximum speed at the achievement of 70MB per day.

And for you is relevant to the control of applications on smartphone and tablet? Write in the comments, what is your [Mobile] tariff plan and how do you control the costs?

The limit connection is called the type of Internet access with a specific limitation of the transmitted data. For cellular connections, limit data transmission is set by default, but such connections can be configured for other options. This will allow competently saving valuable megabytes.

Thanks to this opportunity, users should not be afraid of a random and unforeseen exit beyond the traffic provided by the provider. In cellular networks - when using USB modems, as well as smartphones in modem mode, automatic activation of the function acts. For other ways to access the global network - on Wi-Fi or Ethernet, you will need to independently activate and configure a limited connection to the manual method.

This feature is useful to users, because it provides the most rational use of data. The main features of the limit connection are:

• disable forced automatic system update;
• suspension of automatic synchronization with some software species, in particular, Outlook, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.;
• preventing a reduction in the speed of the Internet connection.

8. After specifying all the required parameters, click on the "Save" button at the bottom of the window.

Limit connection for Ethernet

Note! The process of setting up a limit connection When using Ethernet cable access varies depending on the version of the Windows 10 - Creators Update operating system or earlier options.

Immediately, it should be noted that those who use the versions that came to Creators Update, to fulfill this procedure will be very difficult. In this case, you will have to work with the registry of the system.

1. Using the built-in search, enter "regedit" and click on the "Run Team" inscription.

   

2. In the "Registry Editor", open the section "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" and go to the DefaultIacost folder.

8. Near the line "Full access" to put a tick under the "Allow" parameter, then click on "OK".

   

The next step will be the change in the Ethernet access parameter itself. For this:

When using Windows Creators Update and the above process is greatly simplified.

Setting up a limit connection in the Windows 10 operating system allows you to rationally use traffic, saving valuable megabytes of information. The presented instruction will help to easily cope with this task even beginners.

Video - Internet Connection Setup (PPPoE) for Windows 10

If you use a USB-modem network to access the network or temporarily made the telephone source of the Internet, then save traffic will help the limit connection of Windows 10. This option has and applied value: setting a limit connection, you disable the system to download updates.

Installation of restriction

First, let's see the standard limit connection setup procedure. It works when using a wireless network or a USB modem / phone as an access point.

The traffic restriction feature is also supported on Windows 8, although many users do not even suspect its existence.

On the "eight" to turn on the limit connection, you must call the right menu and go to "Parameters".

Then click "Change Computer Settings", go to the "Network" section and open the Connects tab. Select the desired connection and in the Data Use field, set the limit connection.

Limit for Ethernet

If the computer goes to the Internet through the Ethernet cable, then establish a traffic restriction will not work. This is logical: why save traffic if a local network is used with unlimited tariff? But, as already mentioned above, the limit connection allows you to turn off the automatic update of the system components. Therefore, if you want to apply this feature on a computer with an Ethernet connection, you can use a small cunning.

Now that you have the right to edit the contents of the "DefaultIacost" directory, find the Ethernet parameter in it and open it with double clicking. Change the value of the parameter - set "2" instead of "1".

To the configuration start to act, restart the computer. After re-logging into the system, you can establish a traffic restriction for Ethernet connection. It will not affect the speed, but the system will not download and install updates without your knowledge. If you want to return everything back, then repeat the steps described above by changing the value of the "Ethernet" parameter from "2" to "1".
