Windows 10: Can someone help me with my SYSTEM data usage?

I look under settings to data usage. System has used over 200GB of data in the last month. I got this laptop a month ago. How do I lower the data usage for system?

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.

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 . . .

Hi,



I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

I suggest you to follow the steps to check which application is using Data.

• 
  Open the Settings app, and click/tap on the
  Network & Internet icon.
  
• 
  Click/tap on Data usage on the left side. You will now see a general overview of the network data usage from the last 30 days on your PC.
  
• 
  Click/tap on the Usage details link on the right side under
  Overview.
  
• 
  You will now see how much network data has been used by each app from the last 30 days.
  

After that go to task manager and End Task the Application which uses the internet.

• 
  Press ctrl +shift +Esc to open Task manger.
