Windows 10: unwanted open, established connections.

Why does windows 10 have over ten established connects and how do I stop them. Blocking the IP's in the firewall is not effective, why is that. From a command line enter 'netstat -ano'. Or should I get an external firewall nd block them there?

Looking at the IP's, they all go to various Microsoft servers. Why and what are they collecting?

Windows Update can't establish connection

After a long time I could finally find a solution to this problem!

Today I was reading some posts in Reddit about Windows 10 apps having problems establishing connection, and found a user that could solve all problems with a certain tool.

Here is the post with the solution:

And here is a link to the suggested tool in the above post:

http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

Download and install it, follow all 5 steps listed in the program, and then run the repairs in safe mode.

After doing the repair install 2 months ago no apps where able to connect (before that only Edge could connect).

Today, after running the above program, I opened the Store, Edge, and Windows Update, and to my surprise every app could connect succesfuly with no errors.

 

Re-establish connection / partnership

I have lost the connection / partnership between my windows mobile device and windows mobile device centre. How can I re-establish it?

I have tried:

• 
  Re-installing WMDC
  
• 
  Using Sync Centre (it can't find the device)
  
• 
  Re-installing the device driver
  
• 
  Rebooting
  

Thanks
