"System" using 300gb of data

Tisesme · Jul 11, 2018

I'm very confused as to what is using up so much data and why, I'm not sure what it could be, and I'm not sure there is a way I can track down the exact file sending data. It is always sending, and the amount of data the "System" is using is always increasing, is it normal for the system to use this much data? Compared to all other games and software like Steam and Nexon Launcher I have, it is over 5x any other app I use. It has already sent 1.2gb from me taking the screenshot and me just now checking what it was at, which was not even an hour ago. Any suggestions?

That doesn't look normal. Virus scan, malware scan. Also use resource monitor (windows program built in) to see exactly what program or process is sending all that data.

I think I've figured it out, Windows Update kept downloading the same update over and over because it was failing to install so I'd have to redownload and attempt to reinstall their update, and of course it'd fail every time for some reason, so the past week my computer has been downloading and trying to install 288gb worth of the same update.

At least microsoft gave in and lets you set ethernet interface to metered. It should let you force the download when you have time to watch it rather than it doing garbage by itself. It still occasionally will download stuff...microsoft says its only for critical stuff but I have my doubts that updates to xbox are actual critical security patches.
