Help! My Windows 10 System Is Consuming Too Much Data. by chrome001: 12:53pm On Dec 13, 2017 |
Please, guys, I just got my system and it is consuming way too much data. My 4GB data plan gets exhausted within 4 days and I am scared I just might go bankrupt. I have been on Google to search for solutions to the ish, I have implemented most of the recommendations i.e. metered data, controlling updates. There has only been a slight difference in its data consumption. Please, I need a more fast-action recommendation. I look forward to seeing your comments. Thanks. |

chrome001:I'm surprised you still experience it after metering your connection cos I haven't experienced it on metered connection. You don't even need to turn off updates. Also ensure you're not using bluetooth tethering cos metering doesn't work for any connection beside WiFi. Perhaps your window was downloading updates before you metered but even At that, it will only prompt you to either continue or remind you later. |

Try to create another ADMIN USER ACCOUNT and do all u have been told (stopping automatic update using gpedit.msc, metered data, turning off auto updates for ur apps etc). Maybe it'll work |

decub:I mostly use a modem for my browsing then I switched to connecting with my phone's hotspot, does the metered data cover these two scenarios? |

decub:. I meant I browse with a modem. So I am asking if turning on the metered data will work to reduce my data consumption using a modem. |

chrome001: MODIFIED ==> https://www.groovypost.com/howto/manage-windows-10-data-usage/ I was experiencing the same problem too till I saw this (see the link above�) and applied it. Now I have so much control over my data consumption. PS: If you're using a phone to tether Hotspot, you can further reduce the data consumption on phone by restricting background apps. That way, most of your data goes to your PC. |
Re: Help! My Windows 10 System Is Consuming Too Much Data. by decub: 6:58am On Dec 16, 2017 |
chrome001:Sure, provided your system is accessing the modem's internet via WiFi. |

chrome001: Download netbalancer app https://downloadly.ir/software/network-server/netbalancer/ Install and use it to restrict data usage by you computer. Even if you disable automatic update and set metered connection, Windows 10 will still download updates it considers "important". The app is your best bet. Goodluck |
