My laptop consumes too much data. How can i limit it?
1.Monitor Data Usage
Windows: Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Data usage to view which apps are using the most data.
macOS: Use Activity Monitor to check network usage under the "Network" tab.
2. Limit Background Data
Disable or limit background apps that may be consuming data when not in use. On Windows, you can go to Settings > Privacy > Background apps to control which apps run in the background.
3. Use Metered Connection
Windows: Set your Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection as a metered connection by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Select your network and toggle on "Set as metered connection." This limits certain kinds of data usage.
