Can anyone explain the technical infos as to why certain Windows processes connect to Akamai Content Delivery Network (CDN) ?
For example, Windows Explorer (file system - explorer.exe) and Settingsynchost.exe ?
I know blocking Windows Explorer from network access doesn't break anything - at least not that I can tell. Others I am not sure of as I haven't tested.
There is scant infos regarding Windows-Akamai CDN online other than Azure (which I don't use as I'm on W8.1 Home). Extensive web search turns up very little technical infos... and what infos there is turns out to be incorrect (on Wilders thread).
Any feedback on this topic would be great help.
