Open "Run" from that your Windows 8 computer and type this information "services.msc". Please, do not include the quotation mark when you are typing the information. From the dialog box that appear, look for both(1)Background Intelligent Transfer Services and (2) Windows Update and double click on them one after the other. Change their "Startup Type" from whatever you see there to "Disable". and click on "Apply", then, click on OK. Then, observe the way your Windows 8 consume MB as from now on. Good luck to you.

In addition to the posts above, you would want to turn off the "automatic update" of the anti-virus you are using. Just run the anti-virus and go to settings.
Norton, G-force and McAfee being dreaded culprits of sucking up ones data.
