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?

Lol

princeonx:

You cannot stop auto update on window 10..
Window 10 will force you to download update.. It's crazy and a lot of people have been complaining about it.


Any hoo,
Lemme teach you this simple trick that will save you your data.

Go to the WiFi settings on your system, chose the current modem you are using, set it as metered network. No more unnecessary background update

Still sucking the data even with that.. .

themonk:
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.

Thank you bro

MasterRahl:
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

Lexusgs430:
In the search column, type services.msc + scroll through + look windows update and disable

get O&O shutup . its one of the privacy tools out there for win 10

run through the settings - disable telemetry etc. this may reduce some of the bandwidth hogging.

note that when you start a new system for the first time you will burn data on updates. YOU CANNOT AVOID THIS. and it is important that you do not. alot of the apps on your PC need to update, for security and stabilty.

you can also get one of those firewall apps [i use windows firewall control] which will work with the firewall to block anything you do not expressly permit


note. you said the laptop is an dv6. the hp pavilion dv6 is a 2011 laptop. it is an entertainment laptop. that means it would have shipped with windows 7 home edition. you say it is running win 10 pro.

the laptop is NOT new. windows 10 was installed on it by whoever sold it to you. are you absolutely certain that it is not an improperly cracked/spyware laden version of win 10 running running on your laptop? is it win 10 technical preview , which new builds every week or so?

normally, the moment i buy a laptop, i immediately format and install to my own personal tastes, getting rid of any bloatware shipped with the laptop. if you are tech savvy, get the serial number of the previous windows build from the sticker on the laptop, or with some of those bios tools, get a win 10 iso , format and install from scratch. microsoft is still giving out win 10 for free if you use accessibility settings [google it]

It's dv6 core i7...

leo1234:
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.

Thanks, I have done that

youngfocus:
format ur system put window 7 chikina tank me Lara

Hahahaha no lol, I like this OS

DEBUCHMANNY:
am sure it's windows 10; go to settings, click on network and internet, select your device and turn on metered connection and you are safe.

Still the same thing, done all that

GameGod:
Lol sorry ooo , all you need to do is to disable "Background intelligent service (BIT)" problem solved. Its not update.

How do I do it na?

Henry22:

Theyveedo:
What brand of laptop?

Hp Pavilion dv6

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 , please what can I do guys I have already disabled software updates but still the same issue!!! ! ..

I could just damn the consequences and go to Enugu to join in the protest

Of course you can but just be careful and be security conscious if you choose to go OK.

JayIlych:
This brings tears to my eyes.

Me too I feel so sad seeing them, the pitful state nigerians found themselves in,.

I wish everything could just be good so they all smile.

amokeme:
Imagine you don't have a bf.. won't you survive? Now act like it. And you will be just fine

We should always have this mentality that we are alone in this world, with nobody to help. That way you figure out how to survive on your own. I always say and I will always say.., relationships are not meant for dependant people(male and female) both financially and otherwise.. especially the financial aspect.

Wow you beautiful, abeg where you from? America??

There are about 4200 religions world wide and realistically, as a Christian or Muslim, there is only a 0.00024% chance that you're in the right one.

Don't mind them, I don't know why they try to always threaten people and force their religion on them.

It's nice

NevetsIbot:
