Windows 10: Link to Windows is at the top of my data usage but says "restricted" I don't even have a...

I'm not sure why Link to Windows is restricted and I don't even have a computer in my house?

:)

 

Which app to use to restrict data usage? Everywhere it is written "Counters" but it isnt the one

Thank you Ankur_ajnj for your forum contribution,



You mentioned that you want to install an app which controls or restrict your data usage.

Well there is an app called Data Sense to track data usage, but this has to be provided by your Mobile Operator.

I would suggest you contact them for more information.

Here is a link which give you some information.

Hi,



I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

I suggest you to follow the steps to check which application is using Data.

• 
  Open the Settings app, and click/tap on the
  Network & Internet icon.
  
• 
  Click/tap on Data usage on the left side. You will now see a general overview of the network data usage from the last 30 days on your PC.
  
• 
  Click/tap on the Usage details link on the right side under
  Overview.
  
• 
  You will now see how much network data has been used by each app from the last 30 days.
  

After that go to task manager and End Task the Application which uses the internet.

• 
  Press ctrl +shift +Esc to open Task manger.
  

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help

 

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.
