This is a clean, unused Windows 10 install and it exfiltrates massive amount of data.

I also discovered the same thing in my own analysis which I never posted due to lack of time to write it up (would’ve involved several hours of work). This is contra all those who said, “If you turn off all the options, it doesn’t send any data!” They were of course completely deluded and wrong. As wrong as could be.

Here is the roughly 8-hour network traffic analysis of 5508 connection attempts of an unused, base install of Windows 10 Enterprise (NOTE: I did not remove any 192.168.1.x home network IP addresses from the analysis).

3967 connection attempts to 51 different Microsoft IPs, too, all on an unused install. Just imagine what happens if you use the damn thing.

Those who say that Windows 10 does not steal all your data are completely mistaken (of course many of those who claim that on internet forums are probably paid to do so).
