What I'd like is something I could invoke - say from a pinned taskbar
thing - when there's a flurry, which would list what's using the link,
at a fairly high level, such as Thunderbird, Edge, AVG, etc., not down
to the sub-sub-sub-process level. Ideally, dynamic.

Since a long, long time, I use NetWorx [1]. It has an 'Applications'
tab in its 'Usage Report' which does exactly what you want, list
Received, Sent and Total for all network-using applications. For example
it now says that Google Drive, Google Chrome, Host Process for Windows Services and Thunderbird are the biggest users on my system.
I am lucky that I have the latest free (as in no cost) version, 5.5.5.

You can do your own searching, but this - AFAIK reputable - site seems
to have version 5.5 (it's not clear if that's 5.5.5 or 5.5, my notes
imply that there is no 5.5):

Hope this helps.
It did, thanks (and though as you say it says it is 5.5, it is actually
5.5.5).
It looks to be exactly what I wanted - well, not completely dynamic, but refreshing every few seconds, which thinking about it is probably all
that can be done.>
BTW, is this actually for Windows 7? AFAIK, you (also) have Windows
10. If so, I suggest you crosspost to the 10 and 11 groups. N.B. I've
been using NetWorx ever since Windows Vista, perhaps even on XP.

Ah, my bad. Thunderbird shows truncated forms in the left pane - I
currently see "a.w.general" and "a.c.o.window?", and I chose the wrong
one; I've added the other. I do indeed own a W7 machine, but something
else I have to run needed 10 (and 64 bit), hence this machine.
