    Regarding system data usage


    Even when i turn off my windows updates,the laptop used to draw a lot of data.To know what was consuming so much data, i went to data usage settings and searched, there it was showing that system was using whole lot of data...so where else does the system use data other than for window updates? Even google chrome used some of the datawhich is very less compared to system data usage.How to stop chrome and system from consuming so much data?

    :)

    data usage system

    Hi Mohammad

    Open the Settings App, go to Network and Internet - Data Usage - View Data per App

    Is 'System' listed as using a lot of data?

    If so, in the Settings App, go to Home - Update and Security - Delivery Optimization

    Turn off Delivery Optimization, then click Advanced Options

    Pull all sliders on that page to their minimum values

    That will reduce the amount of data used by System . . .

    System data usage

    We appreciate the additional information that you have provided. As the screenshot shows, System has used only 8.77 GB of data usage which is the estimated calculation for 30 days. The details that show that the data is for the past 30 days can be seen on
    the Overview page before clicking on Data usage. These data usage could have been acquired if there are downloaded updates on your computer.

    Regards.

    Regarding system data usage

    Windows 10 high system data usage

    We appreciate the additional information. Windows update is one of the possible cause why the system data usage is high. If you prefer to disable automatic updates to avoid high data usage, follow the steps below:

    • Type gpedit.msc in the search bar, then press Enter
      to open Local Group Policy Editor.
    • Browse the following path:
      • Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update
    • Locate Configure Automatic Updates, then double-click it.
    • Check the Enabled option to enable the policy.
    • Under Options, change it to option 2 (Notify for download and notify for install).
    • Click Apply, then OK.

    Let us know if you need anything else. We're here to help.
