Like Android, Windows also has a large user base. Since Windows 10 is going to be Microsoft’s last Windows update, it has come with a lot of updates, features and even built-in antivirus: Windows Defender. With all those good things, come to a lot of bugs! To fix those bugs, issues, problems, security vulnerabilities, updates are most necessary! And Windows 10 automatically starts its update service causing Windows 10 Eating Up Internet.

By default Windows operating system sets data connection to non-metered. Which doesn’t restricts background data activity on windows desktop, laptops or on tablets.

But most of the time our internet service provider provides us with a limited amount of internet data. so in such case, we need to set internet connection on limited mode. so that data can be used only on user’s demand. Which helps to restrict the background data activity on windows 10. This way by setting network connection to metered can help us to block the background data usage.
