How much data does taking a screenshot use? My system usage is superhigh, the new kitten has taken lots of screenshots.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
If you have automatic upload set up, to back up your data to OneDrive, this can use your connection, to send screenshots to OneDrive!
For a complete list of consumption:
> Open Windows settings
> Click on "Network and Internet"
> Click on "Status" on the left side menu
> Click on "Data usage"
You will see the complete list of consumption! I apologize if you have already taken these steps.

My question is about data usage regarding our bill, which has been very high for the satellite connection over the last 2 months for the first time ever. My lap-top shows 59.17 GB in 30 days with 39.72 GB used by "system", nothing changed aside from the "kitten from hell" walking across the keyboard and taking screenshots.
Thank you!!!!
