In few days I have noticed that my laptop consumes around 1GB of data within 20 min . In this way my broadband data falls short. And when I check in windows data usage tab ,it shows that system is consuming not any other application.

So what can I do in such situation? 

*Note:I have already set the connection as metered

    Hi Pourush119

    I'm Louie, an Independent Advisor and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. Hope you're doing well and safe there.

    I understand that your laptop uses too much data.

    You can check if from Settings which app is causing to eat so much data.

    1. Press Windows key + I to open Settings.
    2. Select Network and Internet.
    3. Click on Data Usage.
    4. Click View Usage per app.

    Does it show that System is the one using all your data?

    If yes, go to the Homepage of Settings app > Update and Security > Delivery Optimization > Turn it off, then click Advanced Options and set all the slider to the minimum level.

    Hope this helps.

    Kind regards,

    Louie
