Get connected - how it works in Windows 10

In Windows 10, you can make numerous settings yourself. Thus, it is possible to set up your system according to your wishes. It is also possible to set a clocked connection. This is an Internet connection with a data limit. However, this can also cause disadvantages.

This is how you set a clocked connection in Windows 10

With Windows 10, there are various functions available to you with which you can set your WLAN connection. For example, you have the option of using a clocked connection as well. This is an Internet connection with a data limit. Note, however: If you set a clocked connection, it can happen that, for example, some apps no longer work properly. The apps try to reduce data usage accordingly and therefore no longer load certain content. Windows updates are also sometimes no longer loaded. This is especially the case when they require too much data consumption. However, you can still perform the updates manually.

1. Click on the Windows icon at the bottom left and then select the "Settings" option.

3. Select "WLAN" and then "Manage known networks".
4. Find your "WLAN network" from the list and then go to "Properties".
5. Here you can now select "Set as clocked connection". The change takes effect immediately.
