    Hi guys, you may try downloading Netbalancer application which is helpful to control your computer data usage. It will show you what services use you data, through which you can limit or block system services that consume your data.

    I'm running into this same issue on two workstations. Disable BITS and still having gigs of data each day transferred from "system." Anybody else experiencing this? Currently running Win 10 pro 22H2 build 19045.2546

    Under the properties of the BITS, it will be auto, disable it there. I mean you must be temporarily stopping the services, follow the screenshots. It will automatically run few times but most of the times it wont

    @Rakesh k ,
    In the task manager, can you once again check under services section, from the screenshots that i have put, also u can open the resource monitor and under the network section you can check the service with most usage, since you have mentioned it is system, it will be svc.host service. Which can be shut by disabling the BITS. BITS is necessary service in windows to get updates so it will be present, please make sure you look it thoroughly. BITS IS ACRONYM TO "BACKGROUND INTELLIGENT TRANSFER SERVICE"
