Hello Globespy, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)
Yep below, but they were wanting help with metered connections instead.

My specs were not quite correct - OS is W10 64bit Home Premium. From what I have gleaned from the net, those Pro options are not available to Home users, but I could be wrong.
The download button has shown and disappeared at various times, but I think I managed to get some updates downloaded and installed when I reset connection to un-metered for a day. Is there some way to view all updates to see what has actually happened? Two of the last updates on 29/6 - Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool for Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2 x64 Edition - August 2016 (KB890830), and Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3176493), have failed to install despite 37 attempts each.
You could look at your Windows Update history and installed updates to see what was installed. :)

Update History only shows what has failed, but did find the other stuff in "Uninstall......". The two updates above [date should have been 26/9] definitely not there, and I guess I need that cumulative one. In the past I have gone to the Windows Update site to try to get this one some other way, and though I can find it, I can never find a download link/button. However, seeing as it is already downloaded to this computer but won't install, there may be another problem.
Have tried to schedule a restart time to install the failed updates, before I switched back to metered connection, but that didn't work either.
Hey Brink, (or anyone else who has the answer)
I use Windows 10 Home edition - 1607 Build 14393.351. I had previously set one of my connections as a metered connection. But once I updated the build to one I just cited, it changed the value back to a non-metered connection & has downloaded updates. When I went change the connection back to metered, it won't let me. I made sure I went thru the same process I used previously, taking ownership, etc. It appears it will not let me change that setting.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!
Hello Roy, :)
Restart the computer to see if that may help in case there were updates still being installed or waiting for a restart to finish.
What's the exact error message it is giving you when you try to change the value?
I also have Home edition - 1607 Build 14393.351 and have just set Ethernet to metered (took ownership of DefaultMediaCosts, made changes, reset ownership to NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller). I then restated my PC - Ethernet is still set as metered (0x00000002), just as I had left it, so it can be done.
As Brink asked, what error messages do you see? At what step do you get them?
Well, unfortunately I don't have the computer with me right now. It appears to basically state I don't have permissions. Although, I was able to change ownership, but unable to change the administrators to full access. I'm sure it's a permissions problem. I haven't tried it since I updated (I don't believe) So, I'll try that when I have access to it. Duh...I should've made sure I tried again.
