To do so, open the notifications panel and click on Manage notifications at the top. If are also annoyed by too many notifications in Windows 10, then you should stop apps from sending notifications. And most of these notifications aren’t useful, and even annoying if you are not using the app/service it is notifying about. Using the default notification settings, Windows 10 always has 2-3 new notifications for you whenever you open up the PC (at least it was like that for me). If you connect to a different connection, you’ll have to go through the same steps again to set it as metered. That’s it, now Windows will treat this connection as metered and minimize using data in the background. Now turn on the toggle button below Set as metered connection to enable it. Here click on Wi-Fi in the left panel and select your network. Go to Settings from the Start menu and click on Network & Internet. Here’s how to set a network as metered connection:
You can read metered connection FAQ to learn more. On metered connection, Windows will only download priority updates and apps will use data when they are in the foreground. If you have a network with limited data or you don’t want Windows to use data in the background that could affect your foreground apps and games, then it’s better to set that connection as metered. Not to mention, many new features (like tiles) and apps use data in the background to offer real-time updates. I was using mobile data over the hotspot so Windows suddenly chugging on the limited data was very noticeable.Īs Windows 10 is continuously evolving, it’s updated more often than the previous versions and the core updates can be really big. One thing I immediately noticed after upgrade to Windows 10 was the unknown increase in data usage. Stop too much data usage in the background To help you deal with such problems, I am going to list some of the common Windows 10 problems and how to solve them. If you have upgraded to Windows 10 or installed a new copy, you should brace yourself for many new problems that can negatively impact your experience.Īlthough some of these problems can be fixed with automatic problem-solving tools, many require following manual steps. I upgraded directly to Windows 10 from Windows 7, so I was quite surprised when I had to deal with a bunch of new problems that were not in Windows 7. However, with the introduction of Windows 10 and its new features many new problems have surfaced as well. Windows has its fair share of problems like other operating systems.
