I had a Windows 7 virtual machine that started popping this up after upgrading to Windows 10. I couldn't figure out why.

So last week I built a new Windows 10 virtual machine completely from scratch.  It started popping up the same message before installing any applications. So, whatever is causing this is is in Windows 10 itself.

One strange thing is that it didn't do it immediately after installing. It started sometime after I allowed Windows to apply updates and started configuring Windows.

For example, one setting was that it defaulted to classifying the local network as Public. After installation I changed it to Private.  Does that mean I've given Windows free license to snoop on the network?
