Please help, svchost using a lot of bandwidth

Windows 10

Hi guys, I noticed that svchost was using a lot of bandwidth, I suspended the windows updates and disabled delivery optimization but svchost is still using bandwidth. What might be the problem?

My computer is an Asus Zephyrus G14 2021

Windows is Windows 10 21H2

EDIT: So I figured out what the problem was. Some days ago I got Fallout 76 from Prime Gaming which can be downloaded in the Microsoft Store. Windows didn't even ask me if I wanted to download it and decided to start the Xbox app to download the game automatically, causing the large use of bandwidth. So I just needed to cancel the download.
