View Daily Internet Data Usage Free on Windows 11

Because SIM Card for internet browsing, limits data usage. If it reaches to that point, internet speed will drop. So I just doubt daily data usage.

Windows 11 provides the one but there is no daily data usage. To check what Windows 11 gives to users, do the following steps.

1. Open the Settings by clicking the icon below at taskbar.


Then click ‘Settings’.


At the left pane, click ‘Network and internet’.


Click ‘Advanced network settings’.


Click ‘Data usage’.


2. Look at the filter, there is no way to view data day by day.


It provides data usage by apps.


The total which is based on filter.


I have found the one I want and it’s free.
