  1. Why is my work laptop uploading a massive amount of data?


    According to my router, my work laptop uploaded 680 GB of data last month and downloaded 41.8 GB. Much of this use occurred over nights and weekends when I was not working, but left my computer on for work network updates. I normally work M-F, 8-5.I looked at the Windows Data Overview, and it stated that somewhere around 200 GB was used for OneDrive over the month. Nothing else came close in data usage, not even Zoom, and it wasn’t even half of the amount of data my router recorded that device using. I asked my work IT and they are as stumped as I am. I don’t have any non-work programs insta
