My Windows 10 Is Gulping All My Data.. Please Help Urgently.. by grandlexuz(m): 1:18pm On Jul 12, 2021
I am not a professional with computers but I sure do know my way around things.. Despite being exposed to computers and internet as far back as 1998 I have never looked pass windows XP.. I recently acquired a Windows 10 PC and though the performance has been smooth my data runs out at an alarming rate.. I use an ultra fast USB stick 4G for internet connection. I have checked different tech forums for solution but nothing sofar..

I started by blocking windows update through gpedit.msc. I also disabled app updates.. However each time I start my computer it will eat up atleast 300mb of data even when I am not involved in any browsing activity.. What can I do to curb this. Please help data is scarce these days..

Windows 10 feeds on data. If you really wants to make some savings, you must downgrade to lower version.

Even if you disable all the apps, it is only for few days and it will turn automatically.

That's the little I know about it.

If you succeed to reduce the data consumption, please tag me.

That WiFi button u click to connect to the WiFi network, once u have connecred to a wifi, u will see properties, click on it, it will open a program, u will see smwhere they write set as metered connection, turn it on
Do this for all device/network u use to browse with laptop, just turn on metered connection for each of them
