Windows 10: System Data Usage 30GB a day

For the past two months, my "system" data usage has been hitting 30GB a day. I've gone through all of the previous posts about changing different settings and turning off apps to try to limit it but it still hasn't dropped below 25GB a day. What could be causing this issue?

Data card usage in windows 10

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

 

System data usage

Nope. It says 30 days but I had reset the usage to zero 3 days prior to the date showing 8.77 GB. That was only 3 days of usage. Before I had reset it to zero, it showed 107GB over 30 days.

Today, it shows 19.69GB. That's another 3 days. So system is using too much.

 

System data usage

We appreciate the additional information that you have provided. As the screenshot shows, System has used only 8.77 GB of data usage which is the estimated calculation for 30 days. The details that show that the data is for the past 30 days can be seen on
the Overview page before clicking on Data usage. These data usage could have been acquired if there are downloaded updates on your computer.

Regards.
