  2. Metred connection, still consuming a lot of data

    Hi All,

    My laptop is a new DELL laptop, preinstalled with Windows10. Every time I connect my laptop to my mobile internet connection through the mobile hotspot, the laptop is consuming a lot of internet data. I set the connection as metered, still it is consuming
    a lot of data. This needs to be stopped at the earliest.

    Below are the actions taken so far as per my own understanding:

    • Connection is already set as metered.
    • I have stopped the Windows Update service, before I start my data connection. Instead, I am manually checking and installing updates.
    Can someone please advise ASAP?

  3. Metred connection, still consuming a lot of data

    Hi Team,

    Does Windows differentiates the updates as automatically-installed vs manually installed? I am not sure of how to check whether the updates are done automatically. Can you please advise?

    As I mentioned earlier, I manually disable the 'Windows Update' service and then I start the internet connection through my mobile phone data. I always keep this connection as metered. I enable the service manually and then manually check for updates, only
    if I get a WIFI network.

    That was the remedy I am following, but still the laptop is consuming a lot of data. Previously, I used Windows 8.1 on my old laptop and that never consumed such huge amounts of data.

    Please advise.

    Thanks,

    Ratnakhar Meka
