It’s important to note that this notebook not only has a fresh install, but also hadn’t been used to access the internet before this test. All of these are easily explained, since they’re owned by Microsoft - but also contacted were Steam, McAfee,, and Comscore, as well as other services. According to the tracing software, the operating system contacted the Windows Update service, MSN and Bing servers. Testing the data connections using DNS tracing software Wireshark, PC Security Channel made a completely fresh install of Windows 11 on a new notebook. According to YouTuber PC Security Channel, Windows 11 is likely happily sending reams of data to many different companies, even after a fresh install.
