Windows 10: Weird snipping tool network activity

Using the win 10 snipping tool, after selecting the screen area, when I click "save" I have network activity as per below image.
What is odd is that this only happens in one win 10 system, in another it does'nt happen at all (absolutely no network activity whan using the same tool).
The question is, could this be "legit" telemetry or is it totally abnormal so that the system could be infected?

Thanks!

I also suggest you to check in safe mode and clean boot.

Safe Mode :

Clean Boot:

• 
  You must log on to the computer as an administrator to be able to perform a clean boot.
  
• 
  Your computer may temporarily lose some functionality when you perform a clean boot. When you start the computer normally, the functionality returns. However, you may receive the original error message, or
  experience the original behavior if the problem still exists.
  
• 
  If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We strongly recommend that you do not use the System Configuration utility to change the advanced
  boot options on the computer unless a Microsoft support engineer directs you to do this. Doing this may make the computer unusable.
  
  Disclaimer : To start the computer in normal mode refer the section,
  "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting"
  from the link below
  

I suggest you to try the steps provided, in the link below in order to perform a clean boot on your computer.
