Switch measured connection

Windows 10 allows the user to plan when updates are applied, but not at boot time.

One way to manage downloading updates for Windows 10 is to manually identify the Wi-Fi connection as the measured connection, and then manually re-establish it again.

My ISP allows you to download for free between midnight and 6 am. Therefore, it would be better if I could schedule Windows updates during this time.

Is it possible to use the task scheduler and the Windows script to change from measured to indefinite according to the schedule.

If so, then pointers to how to do this?

Thanks Brandon

First use this command to get the names of your wlan profiles:

netsh wlan show profiles

Secondly, use this command to get the current settings:

 netsh wlan show profile name="Your profile name"

It prints “Cost: Fixed” if the connection is measured, “Cost: Unlimited” if not measured

To change between measured and immediate, use the following:

 netsh wlan set profileparameter name="Your profile name" cost=Unrestricted netsh wlan set profileparameter name="Your profile name" cost=Fixed
