New Microsoft Edge updates even in limited connections

I'm using my phone network on my computer to access the internet (while I'm without Wi-Fi) and the Windows identifies it as a limited connection, what is good, because prevents I spend a lot of expansive data mobile limiting the Windows Update, OneDrive Sync and more.

 

But the problem is the New Microsoft Edge doesn't recognize this Windows feature, and continues downloading updates!

 

I woke up today and the Edge Insider had a update, already downloaded, to install. It shouldn't happen.

  • Hi,
    Have you used browsers like Firefox or Chrome before while using limited connection?
    do they respect your limited connection settings?

      I didn't try, but I also don't think so.

      But, anyway, the Microsoft should implement that. The older Edge was updated via Microsoft Update and it'd never happen. Moreover it's a Windows feature and the Edge should be completely integrated to the Windows.

        Yeah I agree, but I think at the moment only UWP apps respect that, Win32 programs like Firefox, new Edge, Chrome etc don't
