Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Storage Explorer downloads updates on metered connections and there doesn't appear to be a setting to prevent it from automatically downloading updates.

Describe the solution you'd like
Respect the system's metered connection settings or provide an option in the Storage Explorer settings to disable automatic downloading of updates.

For now we're going to add this setting:

You can choose to disable it whenever you are on a metered connection.

After I've checked this in, I'll open a new issue for doing something smarter, like asking the OS if you're currently on a metered connection, and if so, suggesting you toggle this setting. That'll be put into future for now though, as talking to the OS is quite a bit of work unfortunately.

Can this be chosen during silent install?? A switch like /noupdates or something like it?? For companies who keep track of versioning not having the app prompt the user every time it opens would be great.

@schenardie we don't typically look back at closed issues in this repo unless there's a reason to do so. Thankfully today I was looking for this issue and saw your comment. Please open a new feature request for what you are asking for and we'll triage it. Thanks!
