Windows 10: My datausage wont align with the sum of the individual app data usage

My datausage wont align with the sum of the individual app data usage. Since I am on a limited mobile connection I need to limit my datausage but I cannot figure out what is pulling the data. I have disabled most of the background apps except for windows security.But after one our of running windows I have used almost 1 gb of data usage while the sum of all the apps I used is only around 90 mb. What is pulling all the traffic? How can I check this better.

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.

Data Usage per App

Hi,

This feature does actually still exist, and to know exactly the specific data usage for each of the apps installed, here's how:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap on Network & Wireless.
3. Select Data Usage.
4. And tap on the two horizontal lines, showing data percentages.

From there, all apps will show up with the corresponding data usages.

Let us know if this helps.
