Why does Winword.exe access the network?
While monitoring winword.exe with the GlassWire network security monitor on our devices based in the USA we found it connects to servers controlled by Microsoft at e1723.g.akamaiedge.net. We believe Microsoft Word connects to the network to make sure you’re using a paid version of the software, to provide extra downloaded features, and to provide updates for the popular word processing app. We don’t recommend blocking Word with the GlassWire firewall if you have the paid version of the app because it could cause your paid Office subscription to stop working.
