Windows 10 includes a built-in bandwidth monitoring tool that allows you to see how much data you've used in the last Thirty days. Follow these steps to visit your bandwidth usage in Windows 10.

Windows 10 tracks just how much network data you use on a per-network basis. This is pretty useful to track your computer data usage during the last Thirty days. Though not as feature-rich as third-party applications, the tool is pretty proficient at showing which apps are consuming the most data. This selection is particularly useful if you are using mobile data in Windows 10.

Without further ado, let me show the best way to view your network data usage in Windows 10 with just a few clicks.

View Network Data Usage

Like I said before, bandwidth monitoring is a built-in tool in Windows 10. Actually, it's integrated into the PC Settings app. You just need to know where you can consider when searching for to see the bandwidth usage data. Here's how.

1. First, open laptop computer Settings app by pressing the Win + E keyboard shortcut. You may also look for it in the start menu or click on the "All Settings" button in the Action Center.

2. In the Settings app, go to "Network" and click on the "Data Usage" tab appearing on the left panel.

3. Around the right panel, you will see your network connections. Right next to the network connection name, you will notice the network usage data for the last Thirty days. In my case, I've used 300GB around the Wi-Fi network and around 3GB on the Ethernet.

Note: Unfortunately, as of now it's impossible to pick a specific length of time or dates to filter and check bandwidth consumption.

4. You may also see data usage per application too. Simply click around the "View usage per app" link appearing underneath the network connections.

5. In this page, select the network you want to begin to see the using and Windows will automatically list all of the applications and their data usage within the decending order.

If you are on the Wi-Fi network, you can also filter the statistics based on all Wi-Fi networks you have ever linked to or around the specific network you are currently linked to. Should you consider the below image, the data are only concerned with the present Wi-Fi network I'm linked to. To determine all the networks data usage, select "All Networks" from the drop-down menu.

Wrapping Up

That's all. It is that simple to trace just how much data you use on Windows 10. If you are on a mobile data and concerned about exceeding the daily or monthly limit, I recommend you enable the metered connection setting on that specific network. Once enabled, you won't just see data usage statistics in line with the limit but Windows also alerts when are near or exceeded the set limit.
