Description

It's been 24 hours since the first time I used this app and activated everything in the privacy section. Could one of the consequences be that the Mbps count in the Network Usage section of Task Manager has become unreadable?

I use last version of Windows 10

Research direction
Check if the app's privacy features disable any network performance counters or modify registry keys related to Task Manager. Look for changes to HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\DefaultMediaCost or similar.
