- You could also turn on "Metered connection" in your network (wi-fi) settings. It'll disable some apps to download extra non-required data (updates?).
- Is there a way to disable this tracker of programs accessing the network? It seems that this function captures similar details on a grander scale as browsers. It appears to have a reset statistics button, but it still keeps up to a month minimum. This doesn't seem to be a way to purge all information in one command. So, is the a way in the registry to turn this off?
Concern: How do we know if this information isn't being passed back and recorded at Microsoft against the user ids?
Please inform us if you can. - no limit per app like net limiter 4, no limit for 5g modem, or any other conditional options to make useful....
- Feature not available for specific app
- can we block a given app to use a metered network? .... limit a app to background transfer? schedule/time based rules (like a torrent client: monday-friday from 09AM to 06PM limit download/upload)? ... there is a lot of work to be done
