Windows 10: Apparent contradiction in Task Manager Network usage

I'm just curious. This is not a problem. I occasionally notice an apparent contradiction in Task Manager Network usage. It will show total network usage at greater than 20 percent while showing that every process shown is using zero Mbps. Is this a bug in Task Manger? Is something not listed using bandwidth? This is not an update issue. The numbers may change but the obvious contradiction can last for longer than five minutes.

Incorrect reporting of percentage of network usage in Task Manager

I know I have a vey slow connection by todays standards: 1 Mbps. Generally, however, it works just fine for me. Except when MS updates and whatever other processes Microsoft's "Service Host Adaptors", as listed in the Task Manager, are running. At these
time, usually at start-up, my system performs as though I am not connected to the internet at all. These MS processes use 100% of my network resources [1 Mbps]. However, the Windows 10 Task Manager lists my Network resources usage at 1%. I think this has
something to do with either my modem or router's max capabilities of 100 Mbps.

1. Is there any way to 'inform' the task Manager that 1 Mbps is 100 percent of my available network resources?

and

2. If windows 10 'knew' that 1 Mbps is 100 percent of my available network resources, might the "Service Host Adaptors" cut back on their amount of bandwidth usage such that a little might be left for me to use?

Thank you.

 

Task Manager High CPU Usage

I have the same problem myself with it only happens when I scroll through task manager and open and close it. I don't know this for sure but the reason this probably happens is that you may have a lot of processes running and task manager is using a lot
of the CPU to process the usage of each program.

What I have done is disable data that I don't need to see like network usage and GPU usage and it drops the CPU usage a bit. I have also enabled everything and scrolled up and down on it and task manager uses almost twice as much.

I would suggest disabling everything but CPU, disk, and RAM, (I would not suggest having GPU on because it is almost always at 99% unless you have FPS limits).
