Windows 10: Setting up a clocked connection - how it works

With a clocked connection under Windows 10, you can save valuable data volume. How this works and how to set up the special connection, we will tell you in this article.

Set up a clocked connection in Windows 10

Microsoft already introduced the clocked connection with Windows 8. If this connection is activated, you can limit Windows and app updates. In addition, tiles are no longer updated and offline files are no longer automatically synchronized. This saves you a lot of data volume.

1. To activate the data connection, first click on the Windows logo at the bottom left and then on "Settings". Alternatively, use the key combination [Windows] + [I].
2. Change here to the category "Network and Security".
3. Scroll down a bit in the "WLAN" tab and then click on "Advanced Options".
4. In the "Clocked connection" section, set the switch to "On".
5. The settings are applied automatically. You can close the window and continue working normally.
