Several days ago I brought up all the data usage I was receiving
through this service. A few days ago it was over 800 megs. Today it
is over 40 megs. I have finally traced it to the Microsoft cache
server and Microsoft Edge. I need get rid of or stop MS Edge. Of
course if I do is it still going to send this data to me. Is there
away to block this cache server?
Are you letting Windows auto-update the UWP apps? See:

Some possible candidate causes.
_Windows distributed updates (aka delivery optimization)_
Are you letting Microsoft use your computer(s) to particpate in a
shared update process?

I have no desire to get any updates from anywhere other than from the product's download site. I don't even want my own intranet hosts to
be storing updates to delivery to my other intranet hosts. I turned
off that "feature" the moment I read or heard about it.
_Edge auto-update_
Most web browsers have an auto-update functions. While I use Firefox
as my primary web browser, even it will auto-update unless I disable
its Mozilla Maintenance service; however, I let Mozilla update
Firefox in the background. Edge I do, too, but wouldn't feel much
impacted if I disabled Edge auto-update.

Everything was already set this way. I also have version updates disabled because I use cumulative.
Under settings "Activity Monitor" Microsoft cache server has already
uploaded over 400 megs to me this month. What does yours show?
