    Huge D/L 290GB, U/L 20GB after startup. Suspicious?


    After turning on my Dell laptop G5 5500, 250G hard drive, Windows 10, it proceeded to download 290G and upload 20G of data over the next 2 hours via Google WiFi, according to the Home app on my mobile device, the only source for this kind of info of which I'm aware. I was not streaming any videos nor music, and while i do have OneDrive as a backup, that would account for only 4G-5G, assuming it was operating.1. What could possibly account for these large amounts data activity?2. What's the most practicle way for a layman to determine the nature of data that's uploaded from and downloaded

    Different D/L speeds

    I've got two PC's connected to the same router with both connected via Ethernet cable. D/L speeds between the two are wide apart. I'd like to know what factors could influence this difference.

    PC#1

    i7-9700K 3.6 ghz base
    32GB DDR4 2666 RAM
    802.11 Network card
    D/L speed between 50-60 MBps

    PC#2

    AMD 1660 2.4 ghz
    4GB RAM (unknown speed)
    802.11 Network Card
    D/L speed between 10-12 MBps

    Would a faster processor influence DL speeds?

    DIVX player D/L fails

    When I run the Windows update troubleshooter it says I have a missing or corrupt service registration and that I should reset it but it didn't tell me how! I know nothing about PC's (obviously) so I don't know how to reset it or why I should have to.

    I am using Win 10. I had Win 7 and accepted the free download from MSN when it became available. It's not a bootleg copy and everything else so far has worked and D/L'ed fine.

    The DIVX installer D/L's fine but when I try to run it (as adm.) I get a pop-up that says
    "an error has occurred. Please check your internet settings and try again."


    Windows also suggested I modify the register to solve the problem. (with my very limited PC skills I wouldn't do that on a dare!) Sounds dangerous!

    As I stated before, this DIVX D/L is the only problem I have had with any D/L's.

    I haven't made any changes to my PC. I did uninstall the old DIVX player when the new player DL failed per a suggestion from another tech site but that didn't help.

    thanks for the help,
