Vanishing Data

Worked with a tech who was told I used it.  A total of 16g gone, when my computer was off, I was gone.  On my day off, the first one I have had in sometime. 

 

I ran trouble shooters, anitmalware, antivirus, etc.  I keep a watch on what I do so I don't eat up my data, get through the month.

 

Cell phone and desktop are connected. Nothing running on either that would eat that much data in a couple of hours, 8-10 am and as I said I was not online, I left about 8:30 am. No one here, I live in the country, the closest neighbor would not know how to hack my wifi, I have to help her with her cell phone and computer.

 

Went ahead and changed pws on wifi, ids, and still cannot find what happened.

 

Right now it is a curiousity more than anything, how this could happen.  Not equipment, so what is it?

 

Running the troubleshooter the error I received is DNS is not responding. 

When I use these, it responds again:

ipconfig:

/flushdns

/registerdns

/release

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Oh, do not send me to the articles you have regarding the data, that is not it and I am tired of being told I used it when I did not.  I would not bother anyone if it had been me.  I am not an idiot and tired of being spoken to like that.

 

Thank you for your consideration and insight.
