KDD Data usage

[NoPlex]

@enjoi1212

I’m the sole user on this computer. All other devices show their own usage amount. All other devices only operate on the local connection so no data is going out anyway. This is specifically for 1 computer. No previous owners, I bought it new 2 years ago. No VPN either.

Do you have any usable suggestions on how to address what KDD is just dumping data and using up a ton of CPU usage?

You still don’t say if you have Plex or other media server running and if remote users or devices are accessing the MCH. If there is indeed no need for remote connection, go ahead and disable WD Discovery (right click tray icon and Quit) and solely use the SMB Public LAN space of the MCH for local connection. Your best course of action is still to contact WD support directly as suggested by S. Brown of WDC

Why is 'kdd' using all my bandwidth?

@hamburger please collect the WD Discovery Desktop App logs and open a support case with us so that we can investigate the issue. https://support.wdc.com/knowledgebase/answer.aspx?ID=20661&lang=en https://support.wdc.com/knowledgebase/answer.aspx?ID=20306&lang=en https://support.wdc.com/support/case.aspx?lang=en
