Description

I am having trouble blocking this hostname which I am certain that it is related to telemetry on windows 11 enterprise. I have tried everything, gpo, regedit, hosts file, disabling services... It's like Microsoft zombie it won't die. Can someone help me understand why this isn't able to be stopped/disabled?

How can the bug be recreated?

Get an external firewall, my windows environment is in a parallels VM on macOS and I am monitoring outgoing connections from the windows VM with little snitch.

Operating system

Windows 11 Enterprise 23H2

I think this should be a feature request (?)
I've searched in the script and couldn't find anything related to blocking this specific domain.
However, I found a comment from 2020, a user asking this domain to be added into the project. #26 (comment)
echo 127.0.0.1 mobile.events.data.microsoft.com >> %WinDir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
And for answer to your question,
Under the "Connection detail" tab, it shows "0 allowed, 30 denied" which probably means that all connections to this hostname is being blocked by firewall, host, dns etc...
