I have tried all the tricks in the book - setting connection as a metered connection (through registry), but there is no difference. I have already used up 1.1Gb in the last 24 hours as I try to fight this update process.  There is no option to set connection as a metered connection in the control panel.  If I search on start I set "Set up data usage limit" and from that window I get this:

So windows 10 has this annoying habit of downloading updates over WiFi connections not marked as metered connections.  I have to connect to a limited WiFi hotspot, and by the time I set the connection to metered, some updates had already started downloading. So I went to services.msc and stopped windows updater.   Now when I go to Settings->Update and Security->Windows Update, It says "Updates are ready to download". That is just fine, but when I click on "Details" of the updates, some updates still shows 'Downloading'. My bandwidth is not getting used up by this, but a process called "From Microsoft Download/Upload host" is constantly using high amounts of my CPU power, causing heating and battery drain.  How can I solve this problem? I believe totally cancelling all ongoing updates will solve this, but don't know how to do it.

I'd like to move up and down available wireless access points, setting priorities as we can do in Microsoft Windows. I can't remember to have ever succeeded in this since using network-manager. Maybe something with conf files is possible...  I'm not interested in different network managers.

In the Windows 7 Power Options, under "PCI Express", I can adjust "Link State Power Management".  The options are:   Off Moderate power savings Maximum power savings   What do these settings do?  Is there any reason to enable it when my laptop is plugged in?

The mobile data cycle (Settings -> Data usage) looks quite arbitrary. Since I have changed my data plan, now the new cycle should start at the first day of the month instead of the 6th.  How can I change the begin of a data cycle? I cannot seem to find some edit button, though I vaguely remember seeing it at the Data usage cycle menu.  Affected versions: Android 4.0, 4.2.2, 4.3.1.

Before Mavericks, I could use /etc/launchd.conf file to change maximum system resource consumption, for example:  limit maxfiles 16384 unlimited limit maxproc 16384 unlimited   It no longer works in Mavericks.  What is the correct way to do it in the recent version of OS X?

I noticed recently that my home external-facing router is showing that a lot of data has been downloaded in the last few days. Everything appears to be secured so I don't think it's anything malicious, and there are certainly activities on the network that will cause a lot of data to be pulled down (downloading digital games, for example).  I'd like to get a better understanding of what is using all of the data: either by device or by "service". By service, I mean a breakdown like: Netflix used 20Gb Xbox Live used 30Gb etc  What options are available for providing insight into data usage across the whole of the network? I'd consider inexpensive hardware or software.

There are many answers here detailing programs that will monitor and log internet usage for a pc, but I need that usage to be logged and broken down, detailing which applications consumed that data.  I've noted there are several that give a real-time feed of each application's data usage (NetLimiter, Win7 Resource Monitor), but I can't find one that will log such data.  Anyone know of one?  Need to track down which program is using up a friend's bandwidth!

As the title suggests, I have some kit which is 200m from our current infrastructure (outdoors).  What is the cheapest way to establish a reliable connection across a 200m stretch (Cat 5e ethernet only works up to about 100m from our tests)?

My Realtek NIC in my Windows Home Server (essentially w2k3) box refuses to run at 1000Mb/s even if I change the driver settings from Auto Negotion to 1000Mb/s full duplex. I've installed the latest driver and tried changing the speed setting but I'm having no luck. Not sure what to try next. Any ideas?  I have a Netgear GS605 v2 Switch supports 10/100/1000 D Link DIR 655 router.  All my machines bar one/2 have 1000Mb/s NICs (Old laptop/Xbox being the exceptions)  The reason I noticed the problem was because I was copying files between two machines and maxing one NIC out and only seeing 10% on the other machine. I do have a fairly lengthy cable between the switch and the router (maybe 20m) could that be the issue?

Ideally, I'd like to hear of an application to show how much bandwidth each application is consuming on my local Windows PC. Alternatively, instructions to use any other application for this purpose. The simpler the better. Something that works for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 (if possible).  Any ideas? Thanks.

I'm trying to setup remote connection to my Windows 10 machine. During the setup I noticed that my installation is missing some settings all the tutorials have. Can anyone tell me why I'm stupid and what I should do? Below you can find a screenshot of what I'm talking about. The first image is how it should be. The second picture is a screenshot on my machine.      Edit: After popular request, my windows version:

I'm trying to add a  to my network, but the option is greyed out.  Screenshot of the greyed-out indicator   I installed network-manager-openvpn but still no luck. Editing my connection does not show any VPN settings or tabs.  I'd appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction!  EDIT: In case anyone else has this issue, the wording "Add A VPN Connection" is super misleading as it's telling you that you need to add a VPN connection, not that you are supposed to click to add one from there.  So select Edit Connections, Add, and then select your VPN from there.

Is there an easy way to limit user bandwidth usage to say 10kpbs? Other users should not be affected. The best I've found is tc, but it seems way too complicated to do such a simple thing.

What options, if any, exist for offline update of Microsoft  Windows?  If a solution exists please list your experience using it.    Background:  If for any reason a computer does not have a connection to  the Internet or the connection is too slow to download  several hundreds of megabytes every so often some kind of  offline Windows Update is required.  In a multi-computer environment a lot of bandwidth (and thus in some cases money) and/or  time could also be saved if it is possible to update in an  offline manner.
