How to fix the Windows* Network Data Usage (NDU) monitoring driver) when it is stopped/disabled.
For Intel® Killer™ software to display bandwidth correctly, Windows* Network Data Usage (Windows NDU) monitoring driver) ends up getting stopped/disabled. This is because both services work by examining packets, and both doing so at the same time can cause conflicts.
If you have the Intel Killer software installed on your computer, proceed with the instructions below
If you force Windows NDU to run while Intel Killer Control Center or Intel Killer Network Manager is installed, those two programs may not display bandwidth correctly.
If you would like to re-activate the Windows NDU, follow the steps below:
- Open a Command Prompt and enter the following: sc config ndu start=auto
- Press Enter.
- After you enter that command, reboot your computer.
Windows NDU should now be set to start automatically and the Task Manager Processes tab should show traffic in the Network column, but the Intel Killer Control Center or Intel Killer Network Manager might not work properly.
To disable Windows NDU, follow these steps.
- Enter the following into a Command Prompt: sc config ndu start=disabled
- Press Enter.
- After you enter that command, reboot your computer.
