Windows 10: How to enable Windows Network Data Usage Monitoring Driver?

Problem: Whenever I look up Data usage in windows it is always 0 MB. I googled for causes and think I found the issue. Apparently something disabled the "Windows Network Data Usage Monitoring Driver". I suspect either GlassWire which I used some time ago or a VPN i used to use. I checked the files in system32 and the Ndu.sys driver is present. I checked services but found no service that is called that way, otherwise I would just enable it there. How do I manually enable Windows Network Data Usage Monitoring Driver again?

network internet data usage

Hi,

One possible reason why the network data usage isn't showing up may be due to a third party program causing it not to work properly. To isolate your concern, we'd like to ask a few questions:

• Are you using a third party app to monitor your internet usage?
• Are you on a metered connection? To check, click this

We look forward to your response.

 

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.
