You need to make sure that it is net set as a Public Network and that the networking device is not set as a Metered connection.

I have checked and metered connection is off. and what happens when it is set to a public network? mines is set to private.

On Private networks, Windows enables network discovery features. Other devices can see your Windows computer on the network, allowing for easy file sharing and other networked features. Windows will also use the Homegroup feature to share files and media between your PCs.

On Public networks–like those in coffee shops–you don’t want your computer to be seen by others, though, or share your files with them. So Windows turns off these discovery features. it won’t appear to other devices on the network and won’t try to discover them. Even if you’ve set up a Homegroup on your PC, it won’t be enabled on a public network.

It’s simple, really. Windows assumes that your private networks–like your home or work networks–are trusted networks full of other devices you may want to connect to. Windows assumes that public networks are full of other people’s devices you don’t want to connect to, so it uses different settings.

mine set to private as well, and shows the data usage.

Try turning metered on, then restarting PC and then turn it off and restart PC again, see if that resets it - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3162-set-wireless-network-metered-non-metered-windows-10-a.html
