:)

 

data usage system

Hi Mohammad

Open the Settings App, go to Network and Internet - Data Usage - View Data per App

Is 'System' listed as using a lot of data?

If so, in the Settings App, go to Home - Update and Security - Delivery Optimization

Turn off Delivery Optimization, then click Advanced Options

Pull all sliders on that page to their minimum values

That will reduce the amount of data used by System . . .

 

High System data usage

Hi, the common suggestion for System data usage being high is related to Windows Update. However your data usage is so high that seems improbable. Given that, what does your Windows Update History show you? Please provide a screenshot. That said, it also seems improbably this is the cause- your build number is the same as mine. You can get a more complete picture- and perhaps convince yourself whether it is app-related usage or not from this:

You can break down current System usage with Process Explorer.

Note the column I've added on the right- data from the internet. You can monitor disk and internet activity.

We appreciate the additional information. Windows update is one of the possible cause why the system data usage is high. If you prefer to disable automatic updates to avoid high data usage, follow the steps below:

• Type gpedit.msc in the search bar, then press Enter
  to open Local Group Policy Editor.
  
• Browse the following path:
  
  • Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update
    
• Locate Configure Automatic Updates, then double-click it.
  
• Check the Enabled option to enable the policy.
  
• Under Options, change it to option 2 (Notify for download and notify for install).
  
• Click Apply, then OK.
