Windows 10: Reset Network Data Usage in Windows 10

Download link to the latest update of the script:

I have now added two extra features to the script. A backup option is now offered before a reset is done. To compliment the backup feature one of the scripts can now be used to do a restore of files from a previous backup. Please note the restore process is semi-auto and requires the user to select and copy the backup files to the restore folder. From there the script will restore the files back to the default system folder.

Starting with Windows 10 build 16199, you can now reset network data usage stats from Settings.

 

I don't have such a button like "Reset usage stats" in my Win10 (Creators Update).
Where exactly can I delete this statistic from "Settings" as Brink wrote?

 

Hello @WTenNewbie, *Smile

Option one in Settings isn't available until build 16199, but you can use Option two now if you like.

 

Hi again, Brink
Could you make a .bat tutorial file, which will disable wifi network adapter, delete all files in sru folder and reenable the wifi network adapter again. I tried this manually in Creators Update, it works but I am searching for something which can be faster, easier and made by you ;-) By the way, I really like your tutorials, they function 100 procent and I already have a nice collection of those.
Thanks, man...

 

Here is a batch script I made today to quickly access the "sru" folder to manually delete the Data Usage files.

Can anyone here please provide the entire address in Settings to get to "Usage details"?

I would like to create a shortcut on my desktop to instantly open that window.

Here is the shortcut address I have so far:

ms-settings:datausage

Just need to go one level more, to "View Usage Details."

Thanks!
