Like many windows 10 o.s lovers out there including myself. I love the windows 10 o.s for its nice interface and user friendly environment but the rate at which i lose data when browsing was becoming bad simply because i did not know that an app runs on the background thereby leading to loss of data .

"I remember this one time when i was simply streaming through a blog for 25 minutes only to check my modems data catalog and saw i have used 150mb and it was still counting.I became very angry and began making research online but couldn't find any helpful post until i discovered the WINDOWS UPDATE."

Comment if you have any questions
Windows update keeps your operating system patched with the latest bug fixes. It actually does not have anything to do with browsing.
Turning it off will save you data charges, while leaving you more vulnerable than normal.
Life is a tradeoff. ;)
