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.

Creepy behavior

And since Ive never bought the problematic games before it’s so much easier for me.

I’d encourage anyone to ditch the crappy anticheat broken crap and just go back to playing good high quality games.

The exceptions I have seen are many CAD softwares and photo editing software (I use Affinity Photo)
