Windows 10: After the August 2021 update, I find Dashost.exe and svchost.exe...

I'm trying to figure out why my Rainmeter network counter continues to increase by Megabytes by the minute, while Settings > Network & Internet > Data Usage doesn't.Example: Before starting this message, I reset both counters. Settings now show 18Mb and Rainmeter shows 88Mb.Looking at Resource Monitor, I find both Dashost.exe and svchost.exe LocalServiceAndNoImpersonation -p are using just under 9K/second.svchost.exe LocalServiceAndNoImpersonation -p is sending about twice as many B/sec as receiving B/sec, while dashost.exe is receiving twice as many B/sec as sending... and no,

:)
