Windows 10 update is automatic....you need to go through a process in order to turn off the updates. No time to explain it here.
Re: Crazy Laptop Won't Stop Draining My Data (help!!!!!!) by Catastrophe: 10:37pm On Feb 08, 2017
Try checking first make sure u have no sibling that tapped into your hotspot to watch the flash o! Cause Mtn na 3G fast download u won't even know he was there. Secondly maybe your laptop upgraded something in its background such as windows or Adobe reader...

task manager> services(top right)> open services(below)> background inteligence transfer service ( "disable" it, then click "stop" and "ok"wink it could begin to run if you end a browsing session. So always watch it when you disconnect and want to reconnect. Thats how i manage when i want to use mine.

Simple Method I use on Windows 10,Open Task Manager once you connect,sort by network...End all the task that is consuming data such as background intelligence and windows update.And also if you are using windows 8-10 set the wifi connection to metered shikena !!!

You can stop auto updates on Windows 10 by altering the registers. Its a really complex process. So the easier thing to do is wen u connect go to advance options under ur wifi settings and set as metered connection. That should solve ur problem
Re: Crazy Laptop Won't Stop Draining My Data (help!!!!!!) by chuksp09(m): 11:05pm On Feb 08, 2017
Bros the best solution for ur problem is this:
Go to the search area, type window services.
A new window opens with all windows services, look for"background intelligence transfer service" right click on it and click stop.
Right click on it again and click properties, in the properties box, look for start mode, in d options select manual.
That should stop windows from completely transmitting unpermitted data.

Na so Windows 10 they chop data and they are mostly for updates. And just so you know, you cannot stop automatic update on most versions of Win 10. Most of its updates are critical such that your laptop might just start behaving funny if you choose not to update.


this is very true.

I experienced similar thing when I bought my windows pad.
The problem is that your system assumes that you are using free Wi-Fi, so its using data without restriction.
Solution: Anytime your are using hot-spot on your system, just go to Wi-Fi settings and change connection to metered. Always do this anytime you connect with a new device be it modem or phone.
Thank me later. grin
