i was using cable internet from a long time then i wanted to switch to wireless internet but wireless internet in our country pakistan have limited data limit like 25gb per month with lower price or 50GB higher price per month but i did not know whats my actual data usage per month of internet and i asked the cable provider , they did not have usage statistics as well for the users so i discovered an option in windows 10 > start menu > right click > setting > network and internet > data usage.

it automatically saves the internet usage for last 30 days then i was able to find out my whats my actual usage for internet for last month and then i was able to pick the wireless device with a higher data limit .

Data usage on Windows 10

THE ANSWER YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WANTING

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 ZERO ZERO 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.

This will reset all COUNTERS, I suggest copy pasting the directions into a wordpad doc or the like and keep for whenever you wish to reset manually.

Only counters I used in Windows 7, were the right click properties of my network device. Disconnection of the device deleted all of that sessions counter data, and CC Cleaner was used to clean all cache files from windows etc.
