There's also that they treat all wifi as the same. I saw my data allowance for a 2 week cruise in a few weeks, it's 250MB total. I wonder how many people burn through that on updates alone. As annoying as windows can be about applying the updates, at least they let you set if a connection is metered or not so it won't download. If only steam and everything else didn't ignore the setting.

> Ironically enough, Microsoft seems to have gotten the apply updates/restart frustration down. Maybe it's from all the flak they've gotten over the years.

Not IME. When I shutdown my computer to go away for Christmas holidays windows decided that this was the perfect time to apply updates. Fortunately it completed on the bus ride and not the flight.

I think we've gone well passed the point of what computers should do on our behalf, everything they try and automate lately just ends up aggravating me.

You can tell the system which Wifi networks are metered, at least since Lollipop if not earlier.

How? Long pressing brings up nothing relevant (and don't get me started on hidden functionality like that), no swipe actions in the wifi settings, if it's there it's not obvious.

On 8.1, it's in Network & Internet/Data usage/Network restrictions. It does seem odd that they put it in the data section, not the wifi section.
