[Coco] A WARNING about Windows 10 Updates...

Wed Jul 12 14:12:14 EDT 2017

Steve,

Yes I just checked as well.  They must have changed this in the Creators
Update.  As all previous Windows 10 versions did not have a option to set
metered for Ethernet devices.

This is finally a welcome change for me since I have limited bandwidth and
hate when updates start downloading while I am doing other things lol.
