If this isn’t a reason to switch to Linux, I don’t know what is! I should have posted this sooner, just in case if it helps. This should piss you off as much as it does me. More shady ass ways data is being sent back to Microsoft. You have to switch off all kinds of shit! I assume you might know this already. But, just in case you are still on Windows and don’t know. Next, you also can go to the recovery tab and select take no action, just in case Windows tries to re enable it after a Windows update. Also, turn off the telemetry setting in settings shown in photos. There might be more that I don’t even know about.
It also stores your search history!
Who knows what required data they are sending!
More garbage.
at least on LTSC 2019, after extensive tweaking on gpedit/regedit i could confirm no unwanted background network traffics at all. but having to actively fight the OS is really awful… and an update brings some of them back.
