I did the following test today. The results show that the commandnet stop Netman & net start Netman
will immediately bring the DWORD value "2" into effect without having to restart the computer.
The screenshot below was taken when the DWORD value is "1" (unmetered).
Then I set the value to "2" (metered) and rannet stop Netman & net start Netman
without restarting Windows. The screenshot below shows the metered connection has already taken effect. So far, I have NOT restarted Windows.
Try it yourself. See for yourself.
Great news @Matthew Wai. I see the same.
It would be nice to run the commands from a context menu without any needed files though to make it even easier.

The metered settings in the Registry only get reset by Windows at most, but not all, Version updates. Apart from a single use once or twice a year, it would spend its whole life unused if added to a context menu.

I just think that many complicated step-by-step procedures can be done automatically by scripts. That's why I keep bothering Brink with scripts.
It is possible; no problem.
However, I just found that the new DWORD value will immediately take effect even if I do not run the commandnet stop "Netman" & net start "Netman"
. So, do you think I should omit the command from my CMD script? It seems unnecessary to restart either Network Connections or Windows on my Windows 10 Version 1903.
