Windows is busy scanning all the computers on your network with it's "convenience" networking additions, collecting that and all your info it, then sending that to its servers for "telemetry" collection. Just like most software anymore (Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Ubuntu, etc).

Windows pioneered the concept of telemetry spying on you with excessive update checks. Each check is a ping to their servers.
