This policy setting defines whether the User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) Agent synchronizes settings over metered connections outside of the home provider network, for example when connected via a roaming connection.

With this setting enabled, the UE-V Agent synchronizes settings over a metered connection that is roaming.
With this setting disabled, the UE-V Agent will not synchronize settings over a metered connection that is roaming.
