Windows 10: Online Applications using extreme amounts of bandwidth -- need help!

Hi there

I've been using this pc for a few months without trouble. I use it to play online games such as Heroes of the Storm and mmos but recently online applications have been taking up extreme amounts of bandwidth.

I originally thought it was malware of some kind but even after a total reset of the computer i still have this problem.



That will often go up to 100,000,000 B/sec

After plugging in an ethernet cable, i still have the same issue. Help!

:)

 

Service Host: Local System (16)

Windows 10, DSL internet with approx 120kbp speed. When the Service Host: Local System (16) utilizes the internet it uses up all the bandwidth preventing use of the internet and online gaming for an indeterminate amount of time without warning. Is there
a way I can schedule a time for this feature to do its business or limit its impact on my bandwidth? I cannot disable it without windows potentially shutting down. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

 

Windows 10 upgrade is too great - taking too much monthly internet

Hi,

We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10.

Please be informed that, the internet usage and bandwidth will depend on the amount of data you browse to access internet from browser/apps/any other third party applications. You may disable/uninstall the apps which you do not
use as you mentioned in the query. This may help you to reduce the consumption of internet bandwidth.
