I have set my connection to metered in Windows update settings and it should only be for the Windows updates. But it also turns off daily automatic virus definition updates, which I don't want it to do.


There used to be a setting in the [COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)]Local Group Policy Editor by the name of [/COLOR][COLOR=rgba(193, 187, 179, 1)]"[/COLOR]Allows Microsoft Defender to update and communicate over a metered connection", but I don't see that setting anymore. Why was such an important setting removed?


I'm not a computer geek so not looking for any command line or task scheduler workarounds.
