I am trying to block all connections to microsoft ip addresses. I only occasionaly boot windows and don’t want it phoning home. I tried disabling the net interfaces in device manager but windows just re-enables them and send god only knows what back to their servers. I don’t like relying on disconnecting the ethernet cable each time I boot windows because I forget to.
Another option would be to run windows in a VM
I do that as well. I just use dual boot windows for samsung disk tools and logitech software. Couldn’t get either to work in a vm.
