Here is another link that provides additional steps that are required:

To "Trick" Windows 10 Home into thinking  that you have a "Metered Connection" tells windows that automatic updates 
incurs $$$ charges and goes against your monthly bill or data plan limits. If Windows Updates is disabled on Metered
Connections, Windows will not perform unnecessary updates, but it will perform necessary updates.  This trick will
only work if the computer is using WiFi instead of plugged straight into your router or switch.  Which is kind of stupid
because someone could be on a metered connection when they are connected to a router or switch that is on a metered connnection.

	1.	Select Start > Settings (Settings is the Gear icon on the left) > Network & Internet
	2.	In the left pane, select Wi-Fi.  
	3.	In the right pane, under the Wi-Fi section, select "Manage Known networks".  The Manage Known Networks configuration page appears.  It shows all the wifi hotspots avialable.
	4.	For each of the networks you connect to with this computer, do the following:
		1.	Click the network and select Properties. 
		2.	In the Metered Connection section, change it to On. 
	3. 	In the right main pane, select Advanced options.
	4.	Turn on Metered Connection.
