PC using terabytes of data overnight

by tambey64 . Updated 4 years, 3 months ago

Woke up this morning and my internet was down, so I did all the basic troubleshooting. When doing so I noticed my app said had about 4 terabytes of usage this month (March 1 – March 13) my average usage for previous months was in the 500gb-800gb range.

Thought it was a glitch but when I looked in the data usage portion of my network settings the first line was “System” and said over 5 terabytes!!! Keep in mind this happened almost overnight as well. Anybody else ever see something like this happen and know how to stop it? I disconnected the PC for now because it looks like it’s still increasing.

Any help would be appreciated

Windows 11
