The network field should update to show the network use of each process

Actual behavior

All entries for network show 0 Mbps

Atlas Edition

Atlas for Windows 11 23H2

Desktop information

7600X
Gigabyte B650M DS3H rev. 1.0 - build in 2.5 Gbe NIC
AMD 7900XT GPU

Additional content

Wonder if this is rare and caused by the 2.5gbe nic...

[brxndonroux]

i have the same problem, would like for it to work tbh

[ALxR1337]

This is the second time I’ve installed the atlas in the last year and the second time I’ve had this bug

[brxndonroux]

if the developers can reply that would be nice

[he3als]

Try enabling troubleshooting in the Atlas folder

[IWarzy]

@he3als doesn't work for me

[he3als]

Are you on v0.3.1/v0.3.2?

[IWarzy]

On v0.3.2

[Leepee]

I'm on the latest version too. This remains the only persistent bug for me.

[CodingMadness]

Agreed. Have the same issue. Version is 0.3.2 on Windows 11 23H2

[JayXTQ]

Are you on the latest version of main or the latest version on the website? If website then I'd recommend trying to reproduce on the latest artifact instead.

[Leepee]

Are you on the latest version of main or the latest version on the website? If website then I'd recommend trying to reproduce on the latest artifact instead.

Can you expand on this? I used the download from the website when I reinstalled windows not too long ago. I'm not keen on wiping and reinstalling again, and it seems that atlas cannot be upddated.

[JayXTQ]

Yeah, that isn't the most recent version to the development standard really. When I say latest artifact I mean using the playbook based on the current last commit.

[he3als]

Hi - does this still happen in v0.4.0?

[IWarzy]

Hi - does this still happen in v0.4.0?

Hi, yes same issue for me. 🫤

[he3als]

Was this after following the documentation to reinstall? Upgrades from previous versions to v0.4.0 aren't supported.

[IWarzy]

Was this after following the documentation to reinstall? Upgrades from previous versions to v0.4.0 aren't supported.

Yes, I followed the documentation and yes, I did a clean install of Windows

[nvmiku39]

I got the same problem in v0.4.0

[nvmiku39]

win11 23H2

[spix18]

Hi - does this still happen in v0.4.0?

yes , its happening to me too, clean install 0.4.0

[Zahrun]

I am also interested to know how to fix this.
As a workaround, I use the Resource Monitor, one of the Window's Administrative Tools, to display the network usage by process.

[he3als]

This issue is still relevant, but it's hard to track down as it seems to break after a random amount of time after applying Atlas. I tried to fix it for v0.4.0, but I couldn't find a root cause in time.

It's a priority for this to be fixed for the next release.

For anyone having this issue, it would be helpful if you commented on your answers to these questions to narrow down the issue more:

• Did you change anything in the Atlas folder before having the issue?
• Did you use automatic driver installation?
• Does it happen on the latest Windows Updates?

I only just noticed my network column in Task Manager also displays all zeroes, Windows 11 and Atlas 0.4.0. Unfortunately, I'm not certain since when that started happening. I haven't changed anything of note in my system other than install all pending updates about a week ago. I've used manual driver installation - GPU, chipset and network drivers I have installed from websites of their respective manufacturers, other stuff - either through SDIO, or from the Windows Update Catalog (Xbox controller drivers).

If there's any data you need from my system, I'll provide it.

Does data usage in Settings work?

I think that's a no (never even looked at that page before):

[Zahrun]

* Did you change anything in the Atlas folder before having the issue?

No

* Did you use automatic driver installation?

Yes

* Does it happen on the latest Windows Updates?

Didn’t fix it

I don’t have usage data in settings

It is enabled on my system.

Try enabling every service above.

Diagnostic Policy Service is already running on my system

Try enabling every service above.

I don’t have OneSyncSvc, TrkWks, PcaSvc, DiagTrack, dignostichub.standardcollector.service, wersvc or UCPD services.

Enabling wercplsupport didn’t help.

[respberryx]

I don’t have OneSyncSvc, TrkWks, PcaSvc, DiagTrack, dignostichub.standardcollector.service, wersvc or UCPD services.

They have diffrent names in services.msc, anyways check in registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DusmSvc is value "Start" set to 2. This might help.

[kamild1996]

Try enabling every service above.

On my system, OneSyncSvc could not be set to "Automatic" or "Manual" due to the "Parameter is incorrect" error, WerSvc does not exist, and UCPD was already running. After setting the rest of the service to "Automatic", starting them and rebooting, nothing changed about either the "Network" column in Task Manager or Data Usage in settings.

[Gabriel-Pe]

Hi, I just went through all these checks since I have the same issue.
However I am still using Windows 11 (Home Edition) and I am about to change to Atlas. I just wanted to share that this seems to be a native problem from Windows (possibly due to OEM edition).

[respberryx]

After setting the rest of the service to "Automatic", starting them and rebooting, nothing changed about either the "Network" column in Task Manager or Data Usage in settings.

Then probably as Gabriel said, it's just Windows overall problem, although I am pretty sure this is some tweak or service.

[Hakugamii]

It works on mine using (Windows 11 Consumer 24H2 ISO) from massgrave. The edition I'm using is Windows 11 Pro the Options i used are Enable Defender, Enable Mitigations, Disable auto Updates, Disable both Hibernation and Core Isolation, Remove Snipping and Edge, Installed LibreWolf and that's it. Worked out of the box

and rebooted the machine but the problem still persists.

I don’t have OneSyncSvc, TrkWks, PcaSvc, DiagTrack, dignostichub.standardcollector.service, wersvc or UCPD services.

They have diffrent names in services.msc, anyways check in registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DusmSvc is value "Start" set to 2. This might help.

You are right, it was my mistake to not be able to find them

Try enabling every service above.

On my system, OneSyncSvc could not be set to "Automatic" or "Manual" due to the "Parameter is incorrect" error, WerSvc does not exist, and UCPD was already running. After setting the rest of the service to "Automatic", starting them and rebooting, nothing changed about either the "Network" column in Task Manager or Data Usage in settings.

Same here, I guess the service is uninstalled altogether when uninstalling OneDrive
