I also found this issue. However when i started watching the lights on my modem flas constatnly I knew that something was wrong. It began on Feb 11 as i sat down at my computer. At the time I didn't know a lot about the window 10 operating system but I began to look for advise in technet.com I found what i was looking for. Unfortunately , it was't good . I was being hacked. I wen from using 12 mgs of data in dec to 84 in a week after that in jan. I had a dell laptop 2 yrs old. no other devices. In Feb I had used 600 mgs , not possible for me. When I contacted Comcast thru thousands of phone cal , 3 service tech later nothing was done. I bought 7 modem/routers and each time whomever was doing this had changed the registry keys on my windows operating system so each time I logged on or started up my computer the hacker was waiting. It has cost and astrominical amount to get rid of this. I suggest you find the commands for your operating system and see who is connected to it. My netgear now registers ping of death , dos attacks and several more issues that still lets me know that they are out there.
