    Windows update and network usage


    For a few days, my pc had been saying "update and shut down" whenever I went to shut it down, I of course checked for updates manually, of which there were none, and then troubleshooted my windows updates which had then led to my network usage constantly spiking. Whenever I opened control manager, my network was drained by Service Host: Background intelligence; and when I say drained, I really mean it, going up to 98% usage with nothing else open or downloading.

    Network Usage in Windows 10

    Hi,

    One of the possible reasons why this issue occurs is when your computer is not set as metered connection. A metered network is being set when you have limited data plan and want to control your data usage. To know more about your high data usage
    issue in Windows 10, we just have a few questions:

    • What is the make and model of your device?
    • Which build and version of Windows 10 are you running? To check it, click
      Start
      , type About your PC, then press
      Enter.
    • Are you using a wired or a wireless connection?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you set your device to a metered connection. To do this, kindly follow the steps provided on this

    link
    .

    We're looking forward to your response.

    Hi,

    One possible reason why the network data usage isn't showing up may be due to a third party program causing it not to work properly. To isolate your concern, we'd like to ask a few questions:

    • Are you using a third party app to monitor your internet usage?
    • Are you on a metered connection? To check, click this
      link

    We look forward to your response.

    How to Reset Network Data Usage in Windows 10

    Hi Kuriakose,

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

    Windows 10 includes a feature to let you view the network data usage of the PC from the last 30 days. The data usage is itemized per type of network (ex: Wi-Fi or Ethernet), and by app usage.

    Kindly follow the below steps to reset network data usage back to zero as needed in
    Windows 10.

    Note: You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to reset network data usage.

    • Temporarily disable your active network adapter(s), or start Windows into safe mode.
    • Open File Explorer, browse to the C:\Windows\System32\sru folder, and open it.
    • Delete all contents inside the sru folder.
    • Enable your active network adapter(s) again, or start Windows back into normal mode.
    Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.
