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.

      • Set GPU to VR performance mode
      • Install SteamVR
      • Disable async reprojection
      • Start SteamVR
