Hi,
I have a Win 10 laptop and I checked my WIFI data usage from the last 30 days and it showed over 500GB of data, which I thought was way too high. Checked the individual app data usage and it's closer to around 180 GB of data, around 90% is from my browser (I watch a lot of videos).
At first I thought it shows the whole network's data usage, like the additional devices, but those devices show relatively normal data usage (the other laptop shows 90GB data usage vs. my over 500GB).
Checked the router's interface and no unknown devices were found (I only allow devices whitelisted by MAC address) and my Antivirus also shows no new/unknown devices in the last 30 days. Also, no malware was found.
I was thinking about my Antivirus (it's basically always connected to the internet) and/or Windows Update, because they don't show up in the apps section of data usage, but I highly doubt they'd use that much data.
Any ideas what could be the cause?
