    Windows 10 Data Usage Not Correctly Showing?


    On windows 10 I was trying to look at how much data I've used in the past 30 days through Settings > Network & Internet > Data Usage. Sadly it only shows that I have used absolutely no internet whatsoever. https://gyazo.com/0c04b46105474f4907bef4e9245bf05a If I click on usage details it simply just states that my system has used 0mbs. I am using NBN and have checked that I have metered connection disabled and my network is public. I'm really lost from this point on, any and all help would be appreciated.

    Hi Kitti welcome to Ten Forums, if you open up task manager does it show anything in the App history tab?

    No, it shows that nothing is using data.

    It shows that it's recorded the resource usage since 13/10 which was a month ago. https://gyazo.com/c08b13be0743bad9fbec7fee8a757a07

    All of the apps it's showing in the list are apps that I don't use, is the problem that it isn't recording the data usage of the apps that I use? and if so is there a way to add them in?

    This is a hard one

    Do you have your "Background apps turned on in Privacy?

    Someone once deleted his C:\Windows\System32\sru folder and it stopped recording data usage.
    Can you open File Explore and copy & paste that address in, give permission to open it, and see if these files are in there:


    Actually deleting these files, resets data usage, and they should be recreated, but his system had a hiccup I guess

    A bit more information on this is here: Network Data Usage - Reset in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    You also might want to try asking there, and maybe @Brink can help.

    You're welcome, maybe when Brink comes online(he's from Oklahoma and it's still a little before 5am there), he might have an idea, as I tagged his name, so he'll get notified about this post.
