Something keeps spiking my network usage and i don't know what it is

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Randumby, in fact it can be any program you have installed on your PC.

Try scanning your PC with an antivirus and also an anti-spyware.

My issue is almost identical. I've also been playing Fallout 4 a bunch recently and the usage spikes about every 3 to 4 hours. For the other hours there is very little usage (normally a few MB at most), and then during that hour block there is a usage
of normally 300 MB or more.

Thanks for keeping me updated Mesowhite1.

The massive spike in usage of Xbox live network has caused problems around the ability to moderate these customised images.



It is a short-term thing. Microsoft are currently looking at the whole moderation process to make improvements.

The lag spikes are still happening. Even after I tried what you told me to do. And no, my Xbox isn't enrolled in the Xbox insider program (at least I don't think so because I don't know what that is)

Forgot to do this but I just posted the issue on Xbox Feedback. The person with Xbox Support suggested me to do this as well. So if you want to vote for it here is the link :

More votes the better chance it gets noticed by more people who might have the same issue.

No problem KodokuTraveller, I want this fixed as much as you do, it also can help others who might not realize that they have the same issue before having there Internet throttled, or receive a large bill because they when over their cap. Cheers
