Windows 10 is a botnet even if you disable all available telemetry options on the Enterprise/Education editions. It continues to phone home, even to foreign IPs. It ignores the hosts file and built-in firewall rules.

How do you stop it?

Hardware firewalls can handle this, but they're only useful for connections you control, and particularly unhelpful for laptops. All the software firewalls for Window that I'm aware of suck, and I'm not sure if they would even be able to block this traffic. Maybe assign the physical NIC to a GNU/Linux VM (perhaps gentoo) running a firewall and then share that connection back to the host?

Install gentoo

You can't. Is this so difficult to understand? Windows is dead. It's no longer relevant in a world that demands privacy and security. Move the fuck on and stop crying that My First Shitty OS is now dead.

Same way you do in Windows. You might not have all the fucking shitty meme games with ultramegahyper graphics rendering a fucking movie you sit there and watch for hours before it allows you to control your character moving into the next room before starting another 2 hour cutscene, but nobody with any sense gives a shit about those games.

Could you let Dassault and Adobe know? They don't seem to realize that they're propping up Microsoft.

I hate you, I have to use Windows-only software for work and yet muh gaymes gets pulled out and then everyone ignores legitimate issues

alright sour grapes, I guess you don't like triple AAA cinematic singleplayer, but I need windows to play Rising Storm 2 and Squad, and hell, even Arma 3 runs better on windows.

Could you please provide some source, where I could do further reading on this? Not looking to discredit you, just want to educate myself.
