My ms edge automatic update to latest version 90.0.818.46 without asking when i click on "about ms edge".
Download updates over metered connections is off. Is there anyway to disable auto update ?

That is a feature of Edge as it seems not to automatically update when the Build updates are done. And it always checks for updates when clicking Help, About but then other browsers do the same. And some check every time they are just simply opened.
If the connection you use is set as metered and 'Download updates over metered connections' is off in the 'About', then the moment after it finishes auto-searching for an update either it will show a checkmark on a blue ball in front of a text message saying it's updated or show a red ball in front of a text message saying an update is available for download. In the latter case it will also show a button underneath, and, only when you click on it, will download and install the available update.

Look inC:\ProgramData\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Log\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.logif you don't trust it.
My connection is set as metered and 'Download updates over metered connections' is off in the 'About'
And metered connections is on on wifi network properties. It still download and install the update.
I manage to close it at about 60 % of download, but it still complete the update.
PS: I guess there is nothing i can do about it, hope it run well.
Hi teots,
Have a look at the Task Scheduler and you'll find 2 or 3 entries for Edge Updates that are likely set to daily checks and at every user logon. Some of these tasks were set to repeat hourly. That only requires to untick a repeat hourly checkbox to fix.
To disable repeat hourly, look here.
I use Edge strictly for testing purposes and truly can't see the need for updates that often. I've disabled 'at user logon' and changed the daily to weekly.
For my use, weekly is likely much too often. You could set yours to monthly, if you prefer. I've set many of the updates in my Task Scheduler to run monthly, no smoke yet.

Firewall is on using windows security.
Click here to download "Matthew's preference.zip" and extract the files.
Double-click on "Metered or unmetered.cmd".
