Metered network warning in outlook исправить
Обновлено: 07.07.2024
If you see a warning message on Outlook 2013, 2016, 2019 and Office 365 versions and saying that “We noticed the metered connection you’re on may charge extra. Outlook is working offline to prevent date charge,” and Outlook goes to offline mode without sending and receiving emails; this post shows how to fix it. Once the Metered Network active on Windows 10 computer, even the OneDrive will stop syncing files and updating the changes.
The idea of ‘Metered Network’ is to limit the usage of the 3G/4G network from your Windows 10 laptop. If you have a mobile data package and using it on your Windows 10 laptop, then these settings become sensible and handy to reduce the usage and cost. But, what is the point in using it on normal Wi-Fi or cable network?
For some reasons, if the Metered Network enabled by the user accidentally or purposely, follow the below steps to disable it (if you are not using mobile data SIM-based internet)
The Warning and Status
Here is the Outlook status. You can press ‘Connect Anyway’ to make it work. But, after some time it will stop again, or once you close and reopen the Outlook, it will go to offline mode with the same warning.
OneDrive goes to pause mode once it detects the Metered network.
The app may not tell the reason for that, but you can view it in the notification area. If the Outlook and OneDrive become offline at the same time, then Metered Network is the culprit.
Solutions to Fix Metered Network Warning in Outlook and OneDrive in Windows 10
Verify the connection type your computer connected, is it Wi-Fi or cable LAN network?
1) Search for ‘Network’ and go to the Network settings app.
2) Select the network type you are connected; in this case, it is my local network via cable.
3) Opening the connection will take to the next screen where you will see the Metered connection. It should be disabled here, if not, disable (off) it as below.
This was the easiest method you can do.
Other Solution
For some reasons, if the GUI settings are not working to disable the Metered connection, follow the below registry modification. Make sure to take the back up of the Registry if you are modifying it first time in the life.
a) Open Registry (type ‘Regedit’ to search) and locate the below location.
b) Under DefaultMediaCost, you will find the type of the possible connections and 1 or 2 as the data.
1 – it is an unmetered network
2 – it is a metered network.
c) Change the settings accordingly to the proper network connection. In my case, the Ethernet should have 1, that means it is unmetered. Since I changed it already via the GUI, it is 1 already. Identify your connection type and make it to 1 to disable the metered network. That will bring back your Outlook and Onedrive online.
I hope this guide is useful in fixing the issue. Luckily, without restarting the computer and application, the Outlook and OneDrive sense the change and connect back to the Internet on Windows 10, Windows 8.1 computers.

Workaround
For Outlook for Microsoft 365 and Outlook 2016
To work around these issues, try Method 1 first. If that doesn't fix the issues, try Method 2.
Method 1: Delete the SecurityManager key in the registry
The issues might be caused by the registry values under this subkey:
Delete the SecurityManager key and its subkeys in the registry.
Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.
Start Registry Editor.
- For Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 8: Press Windows logo key+R to open a Run dialog box. Type regedit.exe, and then select OK.
- For Windows 7: Select Start, type regedit.exe in the search box, and then press Enter.
In Registry Editor, locate the following subkey in the registry:
Right-click the SecurityManager key, and select Permissions.
Select Advanced, and select the Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permission entries from this object check box.

Select OK.
Right-click the SecurityManager key, and select Delete to delete the SecurityManager key and the subkeys.
Exit Registry Editor.
Repair the Office application, and check whether the issues have been resolved.
Method 2: Stop third-party applications that access MAPISVC.inf file
These issues may also be caused by third-party applications that access MAPISVC.inf and prevent Outlook from setting up the Account Manager. To mitigate this situation, stop the applications and processes that may be affecting MAPISVC.inf.
Use Process Monitor to see the processes that are accessing MAPISVC.inf. If a process displays a SHARING_VIOLATION on MAPISVC.inf, it indicates that the associated application is likely to be responsible for the issues. For instance, RepMgr.exe (C:\Program Files\Confer\RepMgr.exe) is an application that is known to cause these issues. Stop this process if you see it in Process Monitor.

I’m using various Internet connection methods for my laptop depending on where I am. For instance I use:
- Shared LAN via a network cable
- Wifi/WLAN via an access station
- 3G/4G via a USB dongle
On some connections I get a metered network warning and Outlook doesn’t connect automatically to save costs. As I have Outlook running in the background, I often don’t even notice and miss my notifications.
How can I force Outlook to always connect regardless of the connection type?
Windows has the ability to assign “costs” to network connections and Outlook requests these costs before connecting to the mail server. When Windows doesn’t report “unrestricted” for the connection, then Outlook will show the Metered Network warning and doesn’t automatically connect.
Unfortunately, you can’t somehow whitelist Outlook for any or all of your connections or prevent Outlook from requesting the network costs before connecting.
However, you can change the “costs” setting for your network connection so it will no longer be a metered network. For most connections you can do this via a setting in Windows but for some settings, or to change the default, you must set it via the Registry.

Set default Metered Network setting for each connection method
When you frequently change connections you may want to change the default “costs” setting in the Registry. This also applies to certain USB modems that expose themselves as metered Ethernet connections which you can’t change via normal methods.
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\DefaultMediaCost
Value name: 3G
Value name: 4G
Value name: Default
Value name: Ethernet
Value name: Wifi
Value type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
Setting the value to 1 means it is an unmetered network connection.
Setting the value to 2 means it is a metered network connection.
