Please my laptop (windows 10) consumes too much data when I connect it to my phone's hotspot. In less than 30 minutes, it sometimes consumes around 300mb. And it's not like I do any download with it. Just me surfing the internet. Even when I'm not doing anything on the computer, it still manages to finish my data.

Can someone here who's an expert please show me a way I can stop the computer from using excessive data

I tried using Netlimiter and it worked well, but as soon the trial version ended the laptop returned to its old way of drinking all my data in minutes.

Your own is even 300mb. Me that I'm using a work laptop with all monitoring softwares installed, it sucks gigabytes of data within minutes. Please abeg help oo..

Stop Automatic updates and there is somsthing else you need to do that one I no get strength to dey explain maybe tomorrow mornin sha I dont know

Go to Setting then navigate to wifi then select Manage known networks...set your mobile wifi as as metered connection.

Type service =. Scroll down to Windows update, click it and select disable.

Apply and restart your laptop

It won't, the only issue here is that for anything update you want to do on your laptop, you will have to go and enable it again hence it won't work.
