NetworkUsageView is a lightweight Windows utility published by NirSoft that parses the operating system’s hidden SRUDB.dat database to reveal exactly how much data every service and application has sent or received since the log began. Designed for system administrators, help-desk staff, and privacy-conscious power users, the program reads the hourly network counters that Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11 automatically record, then presents them in a sortable tabular view that shows the executable name, friendly description, user account, SID, network adapter, and byte totals for both upstream and downstream traffic. Because the tool does not require installation or elevated rights, it can be deployed quickly on a technician’s USB stick to audit bandwidth consumption on any compatible machine, isolate suspicious background processes, or generate evidence for compliance reports. Typical use cases include identifying which cloud-sync client saturated the connection during peak hours, verifying that a critical service is not leaking unexpected packets, comparing per-user consumption on shared PCs, and building baseline metrics before migrating to metered connections. Version 1.32, the first and current release, remains under active maintenance by NirSoft and is distributed as a standalone 32-bit/64-bit executable that runs on every supported Windows edition from 8 upward. NetworkUsageView is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
