Windows updates
#1
Windows tries to do updates but fails. It says "Updates are available. We’ll download them when you are not using a metered connection, or you can download 781.79 MB using your current data connection (charges might apply). You might still need to connect to unmetered WiFi for some updates."

I don't know why it expects a desktop computer on a metered connection to move to where it might get unmetered wifi. My question is whether the incomplete update is a risk (I also have Norton paid version running). The updates that are stalling are:

2022-08 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based Systems (KB5012170)
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - v5.106 (KB890830)
2022-10 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64 (KB5018544)
2022-10 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based Systems (KB5018410)
NVIDIA - Display - 30.0.15.1215

It also tells me that my computer doesn't meet the minimum needed for Win 11. Which is a bit weird because although it's a few years old it's better spec than many currently on the market. I'm thinking about upgrading but haven't yet decided which way to go.

In the meantime, do I really need to force the nearly 800mb update and use up all my data? Our usage is mainly the same few websites, including YouTube, and uploading photos.

Thanks
