Windows 10 Update Switch Portable

If you have updated your operating system with the notorious Windows 10 Anniversary Update, then you probably noticed that you are forced to install all patches released by Microsoft. Windows 10 Update Switch Portable is a tool that can help you avert this nuisance, as it allows you to toggle Updates function on and off, according to your needs and preferences.

Considering that the tool is portable, the setup is a quick and painless process of decompressing the archive in the desired location on your drives. The program comes with a clean and simplistic interface that is unlikely to give you any troubles. Then again, let us not forget that the utility solely has one role, namely to let you toggle the updates on and off.

According to the developer, the app should not be considered a permanent solution to the Windows 10 updates issue. In fact, there have been cases when the service starts back up automatically. In case this happens, then you turn it off again from within the application.

It is worth mentioning that one method that can help you reduce the occurrences when the service starts automatically is to set the Internet connection on your system as metered. Since the updates are running in the background permanently, switching to a metered connection entails that the downloading and installation of updates are delayed.

A further noteworthy function of the tool is that it allows you to set other types of connections, others than WiFi, as metered whenever required. It goes without saying that you can toggle between the metered and non-metered settings just as effortlessly.

In the eventuality that you grew tired of having to install updates for your Windows 10 at the most inopportune moments and want to control when they should be installed, then perhaps Windows 10 Update Switch Portable could come in handy.
