    Rogue data usage

    My data usage overview shows that "system" uses a huge amount of data. There are no updates running, all set in metered connection, there is no change in storage space????? What under system is consuming all this data, where is this data going, how is it
    even running in the background after I turned off background apps and services?

    ALL THIS PROBLEM AND MICROSOFT DOSENT HAVE ANSWERS. IT CONSUMED OVER 20GB OF DATA THIS PAST MONTH.

  3. SYSTEM is consuming huge amount of data on internet

    Good Afternoon!

    Recently, I bought a second hand laptop with Windows 10 pre-installed to it. Here are some details regarding my OS:

    Edition: Windows 10 Enterprise
    Version: 1703
    OS Build: 15063.11
    System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

    I noticed however, that the laptop is consuming huge amount of bandwidth and data on our internet (Ethernet indicator blinks rapidly). Then I tried checking the data usage:

    However, after a minute or two, I tried checking again the data usage (I closed the setting and re-opened it again)

    Please note that I'm not running any application as of now (except Microsoft Edge). Then I tried turning off the internet connection (by enabling airplane mode). Then I checked for the data usage again. The "SYSTEM" already consumed 2 MB of data even if on airplane mode.

    I tried checking if there are updates available:

    I also tried checking for application updates from Microsoft Store. I paused all the download and updates:

    I disabled background apps but still the "SYSTEM" consumes considerably large amount of bandwidth and data:

    My friend does have a laptop with Windows 10 version 1803. Her laptop doesn't eat bandwidth like mine.

    So my question is:
    1. What is the "SYSTEM" process that eats my internet bandwidth and data?
    2. How do you stop it from consuming my internet bandwidth?
