  1. Data Usage App showing incorrect value


    Hi everyone,


    I'm trying to monitor my data usage and found some odd things. My data usage monitor built into windows (in Settings -> Network) is showing I've used 72 gigabytes in the last month. However, a 3rd party app (its called Data Usage on the Window's store) is displaying that I've used 300 in the last month. The 300 value seems to be the accurate one if I check with my network provider. I don't have a way to break down the different pieces of the usage on the app so I'm not sure what is causing this discrepancy. Also, the 3rd party app shows that I used ~100gb in a single day a few weeks ago and I know there is no way I used that much. And I have run MalwareBytes scans also. On top of that I've since downloaded a network monitor that I will be keeping open just in case this happens again. I don't want something just draining all of my data. Any ideas what could be causing this? Is there anyway I can check what caused this?


    Thanks

    :)

    win 10 Data Usage Screen data values are 0

    Hello,

    I have upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10 Home . The data usage screen values like Ethernet , Wi-Fi values are always showing 0 MB

    If i click Usage Details Links then in App Usage screen System is showing always 0 MB.

    what could be the issue . I almost check all the enabled services still values are not appearing.

    Thanks

  3. Data Usage value stuck at 0MB.

    Original title: Data Usage

    I am facing issues with the data usage feature of Windows 10. It is not metering data usage. Previously it was stored to a constant value. After I reset the values to 0B It has not changed yet.

    Windows 10 Data Usage Not Correctly Showing?


    All of the apps it's showing in the list are apps that I don't use, is the problem that it isn't recording the data usage of the apps that I use? and if so is there a way to add them in?
