Windows 10!!! I had the same issue when I upgraded from windows 7 to 10. Windows 10 is the best OS so far though. As for the data issue, it is a long process. First, you have to disable auto-update. Then you'll have to disable update of background apps. Thereafter, you'll turn off the live-tiles one after the other as they also drain data.
Visit the link below for details.

PS: It is not my blog. That's the site that helped me out.

Thanks a lot bro, followed the steps and it's okay now a bit

fellow gurus in the house, una good evening o.

I bought a new laptop today with Windows 10 pro OS.

I subbed 2gb on my mtn, connected hotspot to my lap and started surfing on the laptop immidiately.

About 30 mins later I just decided to check my data balance only to discover 720 mb left (i didn't download anything o, just normal surfing) I even disabled the auto updates and tried again with a modem, re subbed again this time 1 gb, not up to 20 mins the data is exhausted!!


The laptop is crazy, it drinks data like it's nothing, I no offend any body to deserve this o cry, please what can I do guys I have already disabled software updates but still the same issue!!! ! ..

cry
u can't turn off automatic update on win10(I have over 30gb of update piled up for me) instead go to wifi setting,advanced and set your connection as metered connection( win 10 won't auto download updates on a metered connection)

You need to disable windows update from command prompt.
Type "cmd" on your start button to search for command prompt. Make sure you open the command prompt with administrative privileges by right-clicking and then selecting open as administrator.
Follow the link below to complete the process. Thank me later.

I mean, how will you buy data and it will just walk away from you like that?
You need to donate that laptop to your pastor ASAP!

On a serious note, if disabling all automatic updates doesn't work, I'm afraid you will have to buy sufficient data to get through the updates at once so you can rest.

What's tha business?

No need to downgrade. You need two things. 1. Disable automatic system update 2. Turn off live tiles on the desktop panel. E. G weather, store, news, finance. They are data sapping demons!!

I used to experience such on my windows 8.1 but I was to reduce it this way : click ctrl +alt+delete, click on task manager, click on services at the top right corner, click on open services at the bottom of box, then locate background intelligence transfer service or so, (bits) right click on it and click on stop, click on properties and disable it, that should work, but make sure you check on it from time to time, cuz it restarts sometimes, I stand corrected oook

It is the automatic windows updates. On windows 10, they are very difficult to turn off. Probably the previous owner had not connected to the internet for sometime, so immediately you connected, all the pending updates were downloaded. Go online and find out how to turn it off. A little complex though.

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.



Done, thanks

while windows update is a major contributor to ur problem,other processes come up and start draining ur data once u connect. Download an app called glasswire, its simple ui will show u apps and even every single windows process dat touches ur data and best thing is dat it comes wid a firewall to block every single one of them. Trust me on this.

How do I do it na?
1. Go to cortana.
2. Type and Search for "services"
3. Among the list of services, you will see "Background intelligent service (BIT)"
4. Right click and disable it. That's it.


Done!!!

NB: Anytime you off and start your laptop, you have to do the same process again.
