While it does look a lot better than the previous versions, Windows 10 has many limitations and lacks features you may need to use daily. One stringent issue with Windows 10 is that it addresses computers with unlimited Internet connection and hence, it uses the bandwidth without asking for permission or confirmation.

Metered Connection Control is a tool that can put you back in control of your bandwidth, as it provides you with a quick and effortless way to set up a metered connection. Consequentially, you can prevent Windows from using the bandwidth as it pleases and perhaps, it the worst moments when you are using the PC.

The application is as simple as it gets and it does not even come with an interface. In fact, the GUI is a wizard that allows you to toggle between enabling and disabling the metered connection. Given the type of modifications you are making, it goes without saying that the program asks you to reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.

The utility can come in handy in a wide variety of situations, such as connections via data caps, mobile hotspots, dial-up or a satellite Internet connection. The metered connection is also recommended for tablets and laptops with Windows 10 and that come with an integrated mobile data connections.

It is important to note that the application modifies a registry key, namely the one responsible for turning the metered connection on and off. It would be a good idea to create a backup before installing this app.

In the eventuality that your Internet provides limits the data you use, but using another version of Windows is not an option, then Metered Connection Control allows you manage the Internet usage more accurately and efficiently.
