Dear all, I have encountered this kind of problem, I always connect my pc to wifi hotspot of mobile phone, everytime when it is connected, I have to manually go to settings and turn on the Metered On button.

Is there anyway to make it automatically be turned on after connected to the wifi? I always connected to same wifi hotspot, not different hotspots, Thanks for help!

Did you tried this?
"Network & Internet" > Wifi > Manage Knowns Network > Your Hotspot > "Set as Metered Connection".

So far one of my mobile hotspot on Windows 10 remembered the settings.

Also restrict background data(Metered connection) on Phone isn't enough, Windows 10 still think it's normal wifi and background data(sync) will not be restricted.

Once you set it as metered connection, it will keep the setting for that particular wifi. I also connect my phones hotspot and it remembers and when i connect to my wifi at home it turns off by itself.
