Data Usage High While Using Hotspot
Hello, I connect for Internet using Hotspot and issue I am facing is the Data Usage is very high (this does not happen while using laptop). I have done all the things like metered usage etc, but the issue still exists. Any suggestions how to rectify this. I have approached Dell Authorized Service Centre twice as well and they are of no use at all.

@Bhaskar_1980 - We can't possibly help unless you post the exact PC model and version of Windows, and some details about your hotspot...

@Bhaskar_1980 You should change windows update strangers on the internet in windows update advanced settings and set your wifi to metered connection. turn off all background apps, turn live tiles off for all start menu items, etc.
Deactivate Wi-Fi Assist or Smart Network Switch.
Apple iPhones and Android devices have built-in features that will use your wireless data to boost your Wi-Fi signal. For iPhones, it’s called Wi-Fi Assist, and for Android devices, it’s called Smart Network Switch. Basically, if your Wi-Fi signal is moving at a snail’s pace, then these functions will use your cellular data to improve performance.
