I have recently experienced a problem with the windows 10 Data usage feature. It appears to be showing me incorrect information. 4 days ago when i checked it it said that i have used 814 MB of data and a few hrs ago i checked it again and saw that i only used 820 MB of data.

I don't understand on how this would happen because i updated and downloaded games which would have been more than 3-5 GB  however still shows me that i used 820 MB. I do not know how this happened although, I did update windows 3 days ago.

    Hello, my name is Gaston, I am an independent consultant.

    If when running applications that require internet services, the amount of data used is not displayed in the network column, it is possible that the Task Manager functions have been modified or have been damaged by third-party programs or viruses.

    Perform a file check.

    Open the CMD with administrator privileges and run the following commands:

    sfc /scannow

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

    When finished, restart your system and see if it is resolved.

    Best regards.
