However, these controls are not enabled by default and users need to manually enable this new Windows Update feature. Microsoft explains that: Windows 10 19H2 is scheduled for release in the next few months.

Many Windows 10 users often complain about slow speeds while updating their Windows 10 PCs on Wi-Fi. Many Windows 10 users are eagerly waiting for this feature to hit the general public.
