Windows 10: Local Security Authority Process initiated a network connection to 117.18.237.29 LEGIT IP?

Hello, so my Local Security Authority Process just connected to a IP address of 117.18.237.29. I'm not sure if this IP is a legit CDN and associated to microsoft and I'm worried. I just clean factory reset my pc re-installed windows from a USB, and deleted every files on my hard drive, I also have a reliable third-party antivirus which when I full scanned said my PC was clean. I also tried to scan using the built-in windows anti virus and no threats were found, so i doubt it was caused by a malware.I also did some research and found this on IP WHOIS lookup:inetnum: 117.18.232.0 - 1

TCPView shows multiple [System Process] network connections...

Hi all,

TCPView is showing multiple network connections listed as [System Process].

These are usually connected to unrecognized IPs and certainly not IPs I would want the system to automatically connect to without request or authorization on the part of the user.

Does this indicate malware? This isn't the usual block of Akamai servers that Windows Update uses to download updates.

I've tried an AV scan but it shows no results.

I've tried blocking these IPs with a firewall but plenty more IPs from entirely different domains keep appearing under [System Process]​.

How are they establishing connections, how can I identify these unknown processes and how can I completely prevent this activity without using a firewall that requires manual authorization for EVERY connection (this computer's user couldn't handle that level of complexity).

The OS is Windows 10.

Much appreciated.

 

Losing network connection

Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

I Hope you solve out your query soon.

The list has a huge variation of IPs. I haven't noted any pattern in what IPs appear.

Could you suggest how I could identify this process or set of processes referred to as [System Process]?
