Greetings! So recently, i spent a few hours coding software. After i was done and i shut off my pc, i noticed both of the ethernet lights were on and blinking. Does this mean that Microsoft is sending data to their servers before the PC fully shuts off? I am scared that this might be the thing it does. How can i get rid of this issue? I have no idea if it’s related to Windows or the PC itself.

    As other said, it’s surely related to the LAN traffic and not the WAN traffic only your router sends some packets but it shouldn’t be Windows. Little tips if you don’t want telemetry and tracking, simply use Linux.
