As the title says. I’m just curious what’s triggering it. There is no MS Office installed. Happens as soon i start a windows10 pc and it’s “packed” into svchost. Any idea?

With MS you never know. They are pretty arrogant and aggressive about assuming you want things running in the background. Something you can try: Install ShutUp10 and look for things like Office Telemetry being turned on. You can switch these things off (permanently or temporarily, your choice) and see if that stops the traffic.

(There are other ways to do the same thing but I’ve been using ShutUp10 for years and love it)
Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been trying to explore Linux distros after the windows snapshot announcement but the sheer variety and the hardware troubleshooting has really kept be from making the switch.
No it’s Win that makes debugging and keeping a system clean a pain. Linux is peace of mind compared to MS. Just go with Kubuntu for a desktop-pc (imo).
Glad you found it useful! Love your username.
👍 thanks!
installed OO for years here too and everything switched to green except disable app access to file system, smart-screen and mic…
I’m pretty aggressive about switching things off, too. I will never use OneDrive, for example.
O&O soft is nice, but even better this one to tame Windows

From O&O Soft I use sometimes O&O FileDirect, that is a really cool app.
