Turn On Or Off Metered Connection on Windows 11
Here's how to Turn On Or Off Metered Connection on Windows 11.
FYI: Metered connection is a feature in Windows 11 that allows you to limit the amount of data your PC uses to connect to the internet. It's particularly useful if you're using a mobile hotspot or a limited data plan and want to avoid exceeding your data allowance.
When you set a network connection as "metered", Windows 11 will reduce the amount of data it uses in the background, such as downloading updates, syncing files, or performing other tasks that require an internet connection. This can help reduce your data usage and prevent unexpected charges from your internet service provider.
Windows 11 will still allow you to use your network connection normally, but some features like automatic updates or syncing may be turned off or delayed until you connect to an unmetered connection.
You can set a connection as metered in Windows 11 by going to Settings - Network & Internet - Wi-Fi (or Ethernet) - Properties, and then toggling on the "Set as metered connection" option.
