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

    There actually exist a couple options on Linux, Snap and Flatpak versions of Chrome based browsers. Both of them are sandboxed forms of software packaging.
