Windows 10 spying now rolled out to Win7 & 8 too
You may want to read this
If these updates are installed on the system, data is sent to Microsoft regularly about various activities on it.

Microsoft lists two host names in KB3068708 that data is received from and sent to:

vortex-win.data.microsoft.com
settings-win.data.microsoft.com

These, and maybe others, appear to be hardcoded which means that the Hosts file is bypassed automatically
For those unfamiliar your Hosts file is located
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
and it's quite a handy little file, for instance adding
127.0.0.1 apps.skype.com
to the bottom of it will block ads in skype, just FYI :)
