How to stop Windows from automatically updating offline maps

Prevent Windows from automatically updating offline maps

The built-in Maps app in Windows is powered by Microsoft Bing Maps and can be used to quickly find directions to a place. You can use the app to easily save your favorite places, such as home or work, and create collections of places you want to remember later. However, if you find its offline map auto-update feature not very useful, you can disable it now. That's it!

1. Click the Windows button on the taskbar to view frequently used applications. Select Settings (shown as a gear icon). Alternatively, you can click the search button, type settings, and select the application.
2. When the Settings window opens, scroll down to the Application title in the left panel and select it.
   

   

3. Switch to the right and expand the Offline Map entry. It allows you to manage downloads, storage locations and map updates.
   

   

4. Click the drop-down button next to the map update entry.
   

   

5. Uncheck the Insert and turn on the Automatically update when Wi-Fi option.

Close the settings window and exit. Restart your browser for the changes to take effect. This will prevent Windows from automatically updating offline maps permanently.
