This may be true upto Windows8.1, not for Windows 10. Reproducing email text sent today morning for quick reference:
***msg begins here*** Windows Updates is set to remain on always in Windows 10, there isn't an option to turn it off. However, identifying a network as a 'metered network' blocks automatic download over that network. If the device is connecting to multiple networks then each network has to be identified as a 'metered network'. Follow the steps listed below to identify a network as a 'metered network': 1. Press Windows+A to open Action Center. 2. TAB to the 'All Settings' button and activate it using SPACEBAR. 3. Navigate to the option labelled ''Network & Internet' using RIGHT ARROW and press ENTER to open the next screen. 4. Select the type of network (Wi-Fi, LAN, etc) from the list using UP/DOWN ARROWS. I select Wi-Fi (the 1st option) as I connect over a Wi-Fi network. 5. TAB to the list of available networks 6. Select the desired network that you are connected to using UP/DOWN ARROWS. The network that you are connected to is generally on top. 7. TAB to the 'Advanced Options' link and activate it to open available advanced options for the selected network. 8. TAB to the 'Set as metered connection' button and activate it using SPACEBAR. JAWS announces that it is checked. Steps 6 through 8 need be followed for each network that you want to identify as a 'metered network'. Backward navigation can be done using BACKSPACE. The checked status of this button for a network indicates that it is set as a 'metered connection' and automatic Windows updates will not occur over this network. JAWS doesn't announce unchecked for this button when it is not checked as it is not a regular check box. ***msg ends here*** Best Regards, Zujar… An optimist laughs to forget, a pessimist forgets to laugh ☺ Zujar… -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kaifi Azmi Sent: 24 September 2016 18:06 To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AI] turning off automatic update on windows 10 open run dialog box and type wuapp then press enter. bye pressing tab choose change settings and bye pressing down arrow choose never check for update.
