Windows pc calling home (even while asleep) - eviltoast

I have a network-wide pi hole and I noticed that it requested activity.windows.com, a url blocked by my pi hole, even while my pc is suspended. I pinged 10.0.0.217 and it is currently unreachable. So, somehow, windows pc’s turn on networking, phones home, and turns off even while suspended.

    It probably is that, makes sense. Not sure what devices would be doing it… (Xfinity router?). I even moved to a new house with different devices, router etc and it still did that.
