Suggest me to understand why my windows 10 found connected to that many hosts. checked with netstat -fb

I am using windows 10 laptop, and when I executed netstat -bf, no exe or browser was running, but few windows system services may be running

I am not able to understand why wpnservice & cdpusersvc ( via svchost.exe ) are connected to host like facebook.com , amazonaws, bom05s12-in-f14.1e100.net.

When exactly these ports like 45982 were opened on my windows 10, I don't remember approving such firewall requests

Are these safe ? for now do I need to block them using ? or let them run as it is ?

FYI, ip and port mentioned here are already masked

 WpnService [svchost.exe] TCP 206.151.43.145:20743 edge-star-mini-shv-02-bom1.facebook.com:https TIME_WAIT TCP 206.151.43.145:20739 edge-star-shv-01-bom1.facebook.com:https TIME_WAIT

This is typical background noise caused by Windows checking if you have internet connectivity, reporting back to Microsoft, Google services running, and so on. You can run them down one by one if you really want to.

The side that has your IP address and port is the source, that is, your side. You've connected to a server's HTTPS port. You can see that by looking over at the destination side where the port is "https".
