-This article describes the egress network connections that Windows 10 components make to Microsoft services, and it also provides the Mobile Device Management/Configuration Service Provider (MDM/CSP) and custom Open Mobile Alliance Uniform Resource Identifier ([OMA URI](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/custom-settings-windows-10)) policies available to IT Professionals to help manage those connections. If you would like to reduce the connections made from Windows 10 to Microsoft services, or custom configure certain Windows components to help reduce egress network connections, there are several settings described in this article which you need to consider for your specific needs. For example, using the instructions in this article you could configure diagnostic data to the lowest level and individually evaluate each of the other connections Windows 10 makes to Microsoft services.
 
-Note: Even if all of the settings described in this article are applied CRL (Certificate Revocation List) and OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) egress traffic will still exist since it is “Allowed Traffic”. CRL and OCSP checks are made to the issuing certificate authorities. Microsoft is one of these authorities and there are others such as DigiCert, Google, Symantec, Thawte, and VeriSign. Additionally, there is some traffic which is specifically required for the Microsoft Intune based management of Windows 10 devices. This traffic includes Windows Notifications Service (WNS), Automatic Root Certificates Update (ARCU), and some Windows Update related traffic.  The aforementioned traffic comprises the "Allowed Traffic" for Microsoft Intune MDM Server to manage Windows 10 devices. 
+This article describes the network connections that Windows 10 components make to Microsoft and the Mobile Device Management/Configuration Service Provider (MDM/CSP) and custom Open Mobile Alliance Uniform Resource Identifier ([OMA URI](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/custom-settings-windows-10)) policies available to IT Professionals using Microsoft InTune to help manage the data shared with Microsoft. If you want to minimize connections from Windows to Microsoft services, or configure privacy settings, there are a range of settings for consideration. For example, you can configure diagnostic data to the lowest level for your edition of Windows and evaluate other connections Windows makes to Microsoft services you want to turn off using the instructions in this article.  While it is possible to minimize network connections to Microsoft, there are many reasons why these communications are enabled by default, such as updating malware definitions and maintaining current certificate revocation lists. This data helps us deliver a secure, reliable, and up-to-date experience.
 
-For security reasons, it is important to carefully decide which settings to configure since several important settings will result in a less secure device. In a MDM configuration examples of these settings are Windows Update and Windows Defender. We do not recommended disabling these features as they help Microsoft deliver a secure, reliable, and more delightful personalized experience.

-To ensure CSPs take priority over Group Policies in case of conflicts, use the [ControlPolicyConflict](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-controlpolicyconflict) policy.

+- For security reasons, it is important to take care in deciding which settings to configure as some of them may result in a less secure device. Examples of settings that can lead to a less secure device configuration include: disabling Windows Update, disabling Automatic Root Certificates Update, and disabling Windows Defender. Accordingly, we do not recommend disabling any of these features.
