Windows 11 - network data usage (stats) - usage stats all consolidated under system

Hello everyone, I have noticed issue with network data usage not being helpful at all. I run a variety of application on my computer and use edge as my default browser but when I go under my usage stats tab, everything is labeled as system usage rather than being properly identified.

I've noticed heavy usage on my computer and wanted to find out what's happening, but my data usage tab is rather unhelpful. This is a laptop that's a couple months old, but I haven't done anything apart from transferring files from my old computer and browsing the internet.

Any help will be appreciated, many thanks.

What else are you wanting to see? Does your ISP limit your usage? Below is from my desktop computer. I have usage shown for 30 to 40 apps under this. I have Spectrum as my ISP and there are no limits.

Hi there
This is Tamal trying to help you with the issue
After seeing your post, I checked my data usage & most of the apps are listed there that might have used Ethernet/Wireless network at any point. It shows only the active adapter (Wifi/Ethernet), not the other one you might have in your PC.
If 'system' reports using most of the bandwidth, then it was fine as you have transferred files over network from the old to new PC. But as it is only sole reporter there is some issue. You can just update the OS from settings if there is any update available (may be advanced>optional updates as well) & hope everything works as expected. Even if the issue persists reinstall the active adapter driver from device manager. & We will discuss more on the possible solution after you try these two, but the issue persists.

You said, "But as it is only sole reporter there is some issue." Where did you get this? There are several other apps that show MB usage.

Look at the image below from mine and notice the difference of what is showing on GBs vs the MBs bars!!

Sorry @Horace Wiggins I seem to have seen a different view of the screenshot in my cellphone or have not received the attachment properly. You are right everything looks fine when I see the attachment in PC. Thanks for correcting me.

My usage stat looks like this
