Hello folks, i am using 2019 Windows enterprise edition and mostly i use it with work internet , but lately when i want to use the computer at home , i use mobile data and my phone hotspot ; most times i do just basic things like reading article and doing just simple surfing but in less than 10min over 500MB is gone - for just using google and reading article , can the OS be the cause of this probably doing some background stuffs ?

Windows 10? If yes then that operating system is known for sucking data.

Disable windows update


Press the windows key and search "services", open services and look for "windows update", right click on it and click "properties" then disable.


Set your internet connection as metered.

Go to wifi properties and select the wireless network that you use, click on the name, look for the "set as metered connection" option and enable it.

That's all.

In addition to this, go to the tiles on windows start menu, click on each and chose live tiles off... Those rubbish refreshes always consuming data.

Thanks for the input guys , i really appreciate.
