This is a known and resolved Windows issue, where the popup appears frequently when connected to a metered network. It started with the Desktop App Installer app update in November 2025, and should be fixed soon in another update to that app.

Unfortunately, the only known workaround is to disable the metered network flag. Disabling or pausing updates does not have any impact.
