Hi all, Old hardware - running 8.1 pro (SSD). Current Internet: Personal hotspot device - 32GB allowance (up & down total). Running lat 7 days. Windows 8.1 (click on wifi icon in taskbar - show estimated data usage) reports that my estimated data usage for the last four days has been 39.7 GB. Yet when I log into the hotspot device - it has only been about 1GB. At one point - I'm looking at the estimated data usage figure - and its just rolling up non stop. about 0.04mb every second. So I install wireshark - and the behaviour totally stops. Can anybody tell me what might be going on here?
Would really appreciate it - if somebody could guide me in looking at logs / wireless adapter - and find out why there is over reporting of my estimated data usage. I suspect that because it is an old machine from 2008 - it will be the in/out data to the ssd instad. Or there is another hidden network that my machine is using.
