+# Configure Stickers for Windows 11 SE
+
+Starting in **Windows 11 SE, version 22H2**, *Stickers* is a new feature that allows students to decorate their desktop with digital stickers. Students can choose from over 500 cheerful, education-friendly digital stickers. Stickers can be arranged, resized, and customized on top of the desktop background. Each student's stickers remain, even when the background changes.
+
+Similar to the [education theme packs](edu-themes.md), Stickers is a personalization feature that helps the device feel like it was designed for students.
+
+:::image type="content" source="./images/win-11-se-stickers.png" alt-text="Windows 11 SE desktop with 3 stickers" border="true":::
+
+Stickers are simple to use, and give students an easy way to express themselves by decorating their desktop, helping to make learning fun.
+
+## Benefits of Stickers
+
+When students feel like they can express themselves at school, they pay more attention and learn, which benefits students, teachers, and the school community. Self-expression is critical to well-being and success at school. Customizing a device is one way to express a personal brand.
+
+With Stickers, students feel more attached to the device as they feel as if it's their own, they take better care of it, and it's more likely to last.
+
+## Enable Stickers
+
+Stickers aren't enabled by default. Follow the instructions below to configure your devices using either Microsoft Intune or a provisioning package (PPKG).
+
+#### [:::image type="icon" source="images/icons/intune.svg"::: **Intune**](#tab/intune)
+
+To enable Stickers using Microsoft Intune, [create a custom profile][MEM-1] with the following settings:
+
+| Setting |
+|--------|
+|
|
+
+Assign the policy to a security group that contains as members the devices or users that you want to enable Stickers on.
+
+#### [:::image type="icon" source="images/icons/provisioning-package.svg"::: **PPKG**](#tab/ppkg)
+
+To configure Stickers using a provisioning package, use the following settings:
+
+| Setting |
+|--------|
+|
Path: **`Education/AllowStickers`**
Value: **True**
|
+
+Apply the provisioning package to the devices that you want to enable Stickers on.
+
+---
+
+## How to use Stickers
+
+Once the Stickers feature is enabled, the sticker editor can be opened by either:
+
+- using the contextual menu on the desktop and selecting the option **Add or edit stickers**
+- opening the Settings app > **Personalization** > **Background** > **Add stickers**
+
+:::image type="content" source="./images/win-11-se-stickers-menu.png" alt-text="Windows 11 SE desktop contextual menu to open the sticker editor" border="true":::
+
+Multiple stickers can be added from the picker by selecting them. The stickers can be resized, positioned or deleted from the desktop by using the mouse, keyboard, or touch.
+
+:::image type="content" source="./images/win-11-se-stickers-animation.gif" alt-text="animation showing Windows 11 SE desktop with 4 pirate stickers being resized and moved" border="true":::

+# Configure education themes for Windows 11
+
+Starting in **Windows 11, version 22H2**, you can deploy education themes to your devices. The education themes are designed for students using devices in a school.
+
+:::image type="content" source="./images/win-11-se-themes-1.png" alt-text="Windows 11 desktop with 3 stickers" border="true":::
+
+Themes allow the end user to quickly configure the look and feel of the device, with preset wallpaper, accent color, and other settings.
+Students can choose their own themes, making it feel the device is their own. When students feel more ownership over their device, they tend to take better care of it. This is great news for schools looking to give that same device to a new student the next year.

+# Local Administrator Password Solution CSP
+
+The Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) configuration service provider (CSP) is used by the enterprise to manage back up of local administrator account passwords. This CSP was added in Windows 11 as of version 25145.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Windows LAPS is currently only available in Windows Insider builds as of 25145 and later. Support for the Windows LAPS Azure AD scenario is currently limited to a small group of Windows Insiders.
+
+The following example shows the LAPS CSP in tree format.
+
+```xml
+./Device/Vendor/MSFT
+LAPS
+----Policies
+--------BackupDirectory
+--------PasswordAgeDays
+--------PasswordLength
+--------PasswordComplexity
+--------PasswordExpirationProtectionEnabled
+--------AdministratorAccountName
+--------ADPasswordEncryptionEnabled
+--------ADPasswordEncryptionPrincipal
+--------ADEncryptedPasswordHistorySize
+--------PostAuthenticationResetDelay
+--------PostAuthenticationActions
+----Actions
+--------ResetPassword
+--------ResetPasswordStatus
+```
+
+The LAPS CSP can be used to manage devices that are either joined to Azure AD or joined to both Azure AD and Active Directory (hybrid-joined). The LAPS CSP manages a mix of AAD-only and AD-only settings. The AD-only settings are only applicable for hybrid-joined devices, and then only when BackupDirectory is set to 2.
+
+|Setting name|Azure-joined|Hybrid-joined|
+|---|---|---|
+|BackupDirectory|Yes|Yes
+|PasswordAgeDays|Yes|Yes
+|PasswordLength|Yes|Yes|
+|PasswordComplexity|Yes|Yes|
+|PasswordExpirationProtectionEnabled|No|Yes|
+|AdministratorAccountName|Yes|Yes|
+|ADPasswordEncryptionEnabled|No|Yes|
+|ADPasswordEncryptionPrincipal|No|Yes|
+|ADEncryptedPasswordHistorySize|No|Yes|
+|PostAuthenticationResetDelay|Yes|Yes|
+|PostAuthenticationActions|Yes|Yes|
+|ResetPassword|Yes|Yes|
+|ResetPasswordStatus|Yes|Yes|
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Windows supports a LAPS Group Policy Object that is entirely separate from the LAPS CSP. Many of the various settings are common across both the LAPS GPO and CSP (GPO does not support any of the Action-related settings). As long as at least one LAPS setting is configured via CSP, any GPO-configured settings will be ignored. Also see the TBD reference on LAPS policy configuration.
+
+## ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/LAPS

+
+If not specified, this setting will default to 3.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The allowed post-authentication actions are intended to help limit the amount of time that a LAPS password may be used before being reset. Logging off the managed account - or rebooting the device - are options to help ensure this. Abrupt termination of logon sessions, or rebooting the device, may result in data loss.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> From a security perspective, a malicious user who acquires administrative privileges on a device using a valid LAPS password does have the ultimate ability to prevent or circumvent these mechanisms.

+# PersonalDataEncryption CSP
+
+The PersonalDataEncryption configuration service provider (CSP) is used by the enterprise to protect data confidentiality of PCs and devices. This CSP was added in Windows 11, version 22H2.
+
+The following shows the PersonalDataEncryption configuration service provider in tree format:
+
+```
+./User/Vendor/MSFT/PDE
+-- EnablePersonalDataEncryption
+-- Status
+-------- PersonalDataEncryptionStatus
+
+```
+
+**EnablePersonalDataEncryption**:
+- 0 is default (disabled)
+- 1 (enabled) will make Personal Data Encryption (PDE) public API available to applications for the user: [UserDataProtectionManager Class](/uwp/api/windows.security.dataprotection.userdataprotectionmanager).
+
+The public API allows the applications running as the user to encrypt data as soon as this policy is enabled. However, prerequisites must be met for the PDE to be enabled.
+
+**Status/PersonalDataEncryptionStatus**: Reports the current status of Personal Data Encryption (PDE) for the user. If prerequisites of PDE aren't met, then the status will be 0. If all prerequisites are met for PDE, then PDE will be enabled and status will be 1.
+
+> [!Note]
+> The policy is only applicable on Enterprise and Education SKUs.

+
+>[!TIP]
+> These are ADMX-backed policies and require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
+>
+> You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to [Enabling a policy](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md#enabling-a-policy).
+>
+> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).

+* 0 - **Not Supported**: This state disables usage of the algorithm. This state is intended for algorithms that are deemed to be insecure.
+* 1 - **Default**: This state sets the algorithm to the recommended state.
+* 2 - **Audited**: This state enables usage of the algorithm and reports an event (ID 206) every time it's used. This state is intended to verify that the algorithm isn't being used and can be safely disabled.

+> [!TIP]
+> These are ADMX-backed policies and require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
+>
+> You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to [Enabling a policy](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md#enabling-a-policy).
+>
+> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).

-# Accessibility information for IT Professionals
-Microsoft is dedicated to making its products and services accessible and usable for everyone. Windows 10 includes accessibility features that benefit all users. These features make it easier to customize the computer and give users with different abilities options to improve their experience with Windows.
-This topic helps IT administrators learn about built-in accessibility features, and includes a few recommendations for how to support people in your organization who use these features.
-
-## General recommendations
-- **Be aware of Ease of Access settings** – Understand how people in your organization might use these settings. Help people in your organization learn how they can customize Windows 10.
-- **Do not block settings** – Avoid using Group Policy or MDM settings that override Ease of Access settings.
-- **Encourage choice** – Allow people in your organization to customize their computers based on their needs. That customization might mean installing an add-on for their browser, or a non-Microsoft assistive technology.

+Starting in Windows 10 version 1809, you can define which Windows Update notifications are displayed to the user. This policy doesn't control how and when updates are downloaded and installed.

+Starting in Windows 11, version 22H2, **Apply only during active hours** was added as an additional option for **Display options for update notifications**. When **Apply only during active hours** is selected, the notifications will only be disabled during active hours when options `1` or `2` are used. To ensure that the device stays updated, a notification will still be shown during active hours if **Apply only during active hours** is selected, and once a deadline has been reached when [Specify deadlines for automatic updates and restarts](wufb-compliancedeadlines.md) is configured.

# Introduction to VAMT
-The Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) enables network administrators and other IT professionals to automate and centrally manage the Windows®, Microsoft® Office®, and select other Microsoft products volume and retail activation process. VAMT can manage volume activation using Multiple Activation Keys (MAKs) or the Windows Key Management Service (KMS). VAMT is a standard Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in and can be installed on any computer that has one of the following Windows operating systems: Windows® 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012.

You can use a MAK or a retail product key to activate Windows, Windows Server, or Office on an individual computer or a group of computers. VAMT enables two different activation scenarios:
-- **Online activation.** Many enterprises maintain a single Windows system image or Office installation package for deployment across the enterprise. Occasionally there is also a need to use retail product keys in special situations. Online activation enables you to activate over the Internet any products installed with MAK, KMS host, or retail product keys on one or more connected computers within a network. This process requires that each product communicate activation information directly to Microsoft.
-- **Proxy activation.** This activation method enables you to perform volume activation for products installed on client computers that do not have Internet access. The VAMT host computer distributes a MAK, KMS Host key (CSVLK), or retail product key to one or more client products and collects the installation ID (IID) from each client product. The VAMT host sends the IIDs to Microsoft on behalf of the client products and obtains the corresponding Confirmation IDs (CIDs). The VAMT host then installs the CIDs on the client products to complete the activation. Using this method, only the VAMT host computer needs Internet access. You can also activate products installed on computers in a workgroup that is isolated from any larger network, by installing a second instance of VAMT on a computer within the workgroup. Then, use removable media to transfer activation data between this new instance of VAMT and the Internet-connected VAMT host.

-In addition to MAK or retail activation, you can use VAMT to perform volume activation using the Key Management Service (KMS). VAMT can install and activate GVLK (KMS client) keys on client products. GVLKs are the default product keys used by Volume License editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2012 and Microsoft Office 2010.\
-VAMT treats a KMS Host key (CSVLK) product key identically to a retail-type product key; therefore, the experience for product key entry and activation management are identical for both these product key types.

+## Enterprise environment
+
+VAMT is commonly implemented in enterprise environments. The following screenshot illustrates three common environments: core network, secure zone, and isolated lab.

-In the Core Network environment, all computers are within a common network managed by Active Directory® Domain Services (AD DS). The Secure Zone represents higher-security Core Network computers that have extra firewall protection.
-The Isolated Lab environment is a workgroup that is physically separate from the Core Network, and its computers do not have Internet access. The network security policy states that no information that could identify a specific computer or user may be transferred out of the Isolated Lab.

VAMT provides a single, graphical user interface for managing activations, and for performing other activation-related tasks such as:
-- **Adding and removing computers.** You can use VAMT to discover computers in the local environment. VAMT can discover computers by querying AD DS, workgroups, by individual computer name or IP address, or via a general LDAP query.
-- **Discovering products.** You can use VAMT to discover Windows, Windows Server, Office, and select other products installed on the client computers.
-- **Monitoring activation status.** You can collect activation information about each product, including the last five characters of the product key being used, the current license state (such as Licensed, Grace, Unlicensed), and the product edition information.
-- **Managing product keys.** You can store multiple product keys and use VAMT to install these keys to remote client products. You can also determine the number of activations remaining for MAKs.
-- **Managing activation data.** VAMT stores activation data in a SQL database. VAMT can export this data to other VAMT hosts or to an archive in XML format.

+# Required diagnostic events and fields for Windows 11, version 22H2
+
+ **Applies to**
+
+- Windows 11, version 22H2
+
+Required diagnostic data gathers a limited set of information that is critical for understanding the device and its configuration including: basic device information, quality-related information, app compatibility, and Microsoft Store.
+
+Required diagnostic data helps to identify problems that can occur on a particular device hardware or software configuration. For example, it can help determine if crashes are more frequent on devices with a specific amount of memory or that are running a particular driver version. This helps Microsoft fix operating system or app problems.
+
+Use this article to learn about diagnostic events, grouped by event area, and the fields within each event. A brief description is provided for each field. Every event generated includes common data, which collects device data.
+
+You can learn more about Windows functional and diagnostic data through these articles:

# Manage Windows Defender Credential Guard
+
+## Default Enablement
+
+Starting with Windows 11 Enterprise 22H2, compatible systems have Windows Defender Credential Guard turned on by default. This changes the default state of the feature in Windows, though system administrators can still modify this enablement state. Windows Defender Credential Guard can still be manually [enabled](#enable-windows-defender-credential-guard) or [disabled](#disable-windows-defender-credential-guard) via the methods documented below.
+
+### Requirements for automatic enablement
+
+Windows Defender Credential Guard will be enabled by default when a PC meets the following minimum requirements:
+
+|Component|Requirement|
+|---|---|
+|Operating System|Windows 11 Enterprise 22H2|
+|Existing Windows Defender Credential Guard Requirements|Only devices which meet the [existing hardware and software requirements](credential-guard-requirements.md#hardware-and-software-requirements) to run Windows Defender Credential Guard will have it enabled by default.|
+|Virtualization-based Security (VBS) Requirements|VBS must be enabled in order to run Windows Defender Credential Guard. Starting with Windows 11 Enterprise 22H2, devices that meet the requirements to run Windows Defender Credential Guard as well as the [minimum requirements to enable VBS](/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/oem-vbs) will have both Windows Defender Credential Guard and VBS enabled by default.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If Windows Defender Credential Guard or VBS has previously been explicitly disabled, default enablement will not overwrite this setting.
+
## Enable Windows Defender Credential Guard
Windows Defender Credential Guard can be enabled either by using [Group Policy](#enable-windows-defender-credential-guard-by-using-group-policy), the [registry](#enable-windows-defender-credential-guard-by-using-the-registry), or the [Hypervisor-Protected Code Integrity (HVCI) and Windows Defender Credential Guard hardware readiness tool](#enable-windows-defender-credential-guard-by-using-the-hvci-and-windows-defender-credential-guard-hardware-readiness-tool). Windows Defender Credential Guard can also protect secrets in a Hyper-V virtual machine, just as it would on a physical machine.

## Deployment and trust models
-Windows Hello for Business has three deployment models: Azure AD cloud only, hybrid, and on-premises. Hybrid has three trust models: *Key trust*, *certificate trust*, and *cloud trust*. On-premises deployment models only support *Key trust* and *certificate trust*.
+Windows Hello for Business has three deployment models: Azure AD cloud only, hybrid, and on-premises. Hybrid has three trust models: *Key Trust*, *Certificate Trust*, and *cloud Kerberos trust*. On-premises deployment models only support *Key Trust* and *Certificate Trust*.
Hybrid deployments are for enterprises that use Azure Active Directory. On-premises deployments are for enterprises who exclusively use on-premises Active Directory. Remember that the environments that use Azure Active Directory must use the hybrid deployment model for all domains in that forest.
The trust model determines how you want users to authenticate to the on-premises Active Directory:
- The key-trust model is for enterprises who do not want to issue end-entity certificates to their users and have an adequate number of 2016 domain controllers in each site to support authentication. This still requires Active Directory Certificate Services for domain controller certificates.
-- The cloud-trust model is also for hybrid enterprises who do not want to issue end-entity certificates to their users and have an adequate number of 2016 domain controllers in each site to support authentication. This trust model is simpler to deploy than key trust and does not require Active Directory Certificate Services. We recommend using cloud trust instead of key trust if the clients in your enterprise support it.

- The certificate-trust model is for enterprises that *do* want to issue end-entity certificates to their users and have the benefits of certificate expiration and renewal, similar to how smart cards work today.
- The certificate trust model also supports enterprises which are not ready to deploy Windows Server 2016 Domain Controllers.

-Key trust and certificate trust use certificate authentication based Kerberos for requesting kerberos ticket-granting-tickets (TGTs) for on-premises authentication. This type of authentication requires PKI for DC certificates, and requires end-user certificates for certificate trust. Single sign-on (SSO) to on-premises resources from Azure AD-joined devices requires more PKI configuration to publish a certificate revocation list (CRL) to a public endpoint. Cloud trust uses Azure AD Kerberos that doesn't require any of the above PKI to get the user a TGT.
+Key trust and certificate trust use certificate authentication based Kerberos for requesting kerberos ticket-granting-tickets (TGTs) for on-premises authentication. This type of authentication requires PKI for DC certificates, and requires end-user certificates for certificate trust.

With Azure AD Kerberos, Azure AD can issue TGTs for one or more of your AD domains. Windows can request a TGT from Azure AD when authenticating with Windows Hello for Business and use the returned TGT for logon or to access traditional AD-based resources. Kerberos service tickets and authorization continue to be controlled by your on-premises AD DCs.
When you enable Azure AD Kerberos in a domain, an Azure AD Kerberos Server object is created in your on-premises AD. This object will appear as a Read Only Domain Controller (RODC) object but isn't associated with any physical servers. This resource is only used by Azure Active Directory to generate TGTs for your Active Directory Domain. The same rules and restrictions used for RODCs apply to the Azure AD Kerberos Server object.

Use the module to create an Azure AD Kerberos Server object for the domains where you want to use Windows Hello for Business cloud Kerberos trust.
### Configure Windows Hello for Business Policy
-After setting up the Azure AD Kerberos Object, Windows Hello for business cloud trust must be enabled using policy. By default, cloud trust won't be used by Hybrid Azure AD joined or Azure AD-joined devices.
+After setting up the Azure AD Kerberos Object, Windows Hello for business cloud Kerberos trust must be enabled on your Windows devices. Follow the instructions below to configure your devices using either Microsoft Intune or group policy (GPO).
-#### Configure Using Group Policy
-
-Hybrid Azure AD joined organizations can use Windows Hello for Business Group Policy to manage the feature. Group Policy can be configured to enable users to enroll and use Windows Hello for Business.
-
-The Enable Windows Hello for Business Group Policy setting is used by Windows to determine if a user should attempt to enroll a credential. A user will only attempt enrollment if this policy is configured to enabled.
-
-You can configure the Enable Windows Hello for Business Group Policy setting for computers or users. Deploying this policy setting to computers results in all users that sign-in that computer to attempt a Windows Hello for Business enrollment. Deploying this policy setting to a user results in only that user attempting a Windows Hello for Business enrollment. Additionally, you can deploy the policy setting to a group of users so only those users attempt a Windows Hello for Business enrollment. If both user and computer policy settings are deployed, the user policy setting has precedence.
-
-Cloud trust requires setting a dedicated policy for it to be enabled. This policy is only available as a computer configuration.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> If you deployed Windows Hello for Business configuration using both Group Policy and Microsoft Intune, Group Policy settings will take precedence and Intune settings will be ignored. For more information about deploying Windows Hello for Business configuration using Microsoft Intune, see [Windows device settings to enable Windows Hello for Business in Intune](/mem/intune/protect/identity-protection-windows-settings) and [PassportForWork CSP](/windows/client-management/mdm/passportforwork-csp). For more information about policy conflicts, see [Policy conflicts from multiple policy sources](hello-manage-in-organization.md#policy-conflicts-from-multiple-policy-sources)
-
-##### Update Group Policy Objects
-
-You may need to update your Group Policy definitions to be able to configure the cloud trust policy. You can copy the ADMX and ADML files from a Windows 10 21H2 or Windows 11 device that supports cloud trust to their respective language folder on your Group Policy management server. Windows Hello for Business settings are in the Passport.admx and Passport.adml files.
-
-You can also create a Group Policy Central Store and copy them their respective language folder. For more information, see [How to create and manage the Central Store for Group Policy Administrative Templates in Windows](/troubleshoot/windows-client/group-policy/create-and-manage-central-store).

The platform is responsible for securely reporting the origin of the request and for calling the CTAP2 Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) APIs.

Cross-platform transport protocols such as USB, NFC or BLE can't access platform authenticators.
- **Roaming authenticator**. A *roaming authenticator* can connect to multiple client devices. Client devices must use a supported transport protocol to negotiate interactions. Examples of roaming authenticators include USB security keys, BLE-enabled smartphone applications, and NFC-enabled proximity cards. Roaming authenticators can support CTAP1, CTAP2, or both protocols.
-Many relying parties and clients can interact with many authenticators on a single client device. A user can install multiple browsers that support WebAuthn, and might simultaneously have access to a built-in fingerprint reader, a plugged-in security key, and a BLE-enabled mobile app.

## Interoperability
-Before there was WebAuthn and CTAP2, there was U2F and CTAP1. U2F is the FIDO Alliance universal second-factor specification. There are many authenticators that speak CTAP1 and manage U2F credentials. WebAuthn was designed to be interoperable with CTAP1 Authenticators. A relying party that uses WebAuthn can still use U2F credentials if the relying party doesn't require FIDO2-only functionality.

+title: Frequently asked questions for Personal Data Encryption (PDE)
+summary: |
+ Here are some answers to common questions regarding Personal Data Encryption (PDE)
+
+sections:
+ - name: Single section - ignored
+ questions:
+ - question: Can PDE encrypt entire volumes or drives?
+ answer: |
+ No. PDE only encrypts specified files.
+
+ - question: Is PDE a replacement for BitLocker?
+ answer: |
+ No. It's still recommended to encrypt all volumes with BitLocker Drive Encryption for increased security.
+
+ - question: Can an IT admin specify which files should be encrypted?
+ answer: |
+ Yes, but it can only be done using the PDE APIs.
+
+ - question: Do I need to use OneDrive as my backup provider?
+ answer: |
+ No. PDE doesn't have a requirement for a backup provider including OneDrive. However, backups are strongly recommended in case the encryption keys used by PDE are lost. OneDrive is a recommended backup provider.
+
+ - question: What is the relation between Windows Hello for Business and PDE?
+ answer: |
+ Windows Hello for Business unlocks PDE encryption keys during user sign on.
+
+ - question: Can a file be encrypted with both PDE and EFS at the same time?
+ answer: |
+ No. PDE and EFS are mutually exclusive.
+
+ - question: Can a PDE encrypted files be accessed after signing on via a Remote Desktop connection (RDP)?
+ answer: |
+ No. Accessing PDE encrypted files over RDP isn't currently supported.
+
+ - question: Can a PDE encrypted files be access via a network share?
+ answer: |
+ No. PDE encrypted files can only be accessed after signing on locally to Windows with Windows Hello for Business credentials.
+
+ - question: How can it be determined if a file is encrypted with PDE?
+ answer: |
+ Encrypted files will show a padlock on the file's icon. Additionally, `cipher.exe` can be used to show the encryption state of the file.
+
+ - question: Can users manually encrypt and decrypt files with PDE?
+ answer: |
+ Currently users can decrypt files manually but they can't encrypt files manually.
+
+ - question: If a user signs into Windows with a password instead of Windows Hello for Business, will they be able to access their PDE encrypted files?
+ answer: |
+ No. PDE encryption keys are protected Windows Hello for Business credentials and will only be unlocked when signing on with Windows Hello for Business PIN or biometrics.
+
+ - question: What encryption method and strength does PDE use?
+ answer: |
+ PDE uses AES-256 to encrypt files

+
+
+Personal data encryption (PDE) is a security feature introduced in Windows 11, version 22H2 that provides additional encryption features to Windows. PDE differs from BitLocker in that it encrypts individual files instead of whole volumes and disks. PDE occurs in addition to other encryption methods such as BitLocker.
+
+PDE utilizes Windows Hello for Business to link data encryption keys with user credentials. This feature can minimize the number of credentials the user has to remember to gain access to files. For example, when using BitLocker with PIN, a user would need to authenticate twice - once with the BitLocker PIN and a second time with Windows credentials. This requirement requires users to remember two different credentials. With PDE, users only need to enter one set of credentials via Windows Hello for Business.
+
+PDE is also accessibility friendly. For example, The BitLocker PIN entry screen doesn't have accessibility options. PDE however uses Windows Hello for Business, which does have accessibility features.
+
+Unlike BitLocker that releases data encryption keys at boot, PDE doesn't release data encryption keys until a user signs in using Windows Hello for Business. Users will only be able to access their PDE encrypted files once they've signed into Windows using Windows Hello for Business. Additionally, PDE has the ability to also discard the encryption keys when the device is locked.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> PDE is currently only available to developers via [PDE APIs](/uwp/api/windows.security.dataprotection.userdataprotectionmanager). There is no user interface in Windows to either enable PDE or encrypt files via PDE. Also, although there is an MDM policy that can enable PDE, there are no MDM policies that can be used to encrypt files via PDE.

+# Personal Data Encryption (PDE)
+
+(*Applies to: Windows 11, version 22H2 and later Enterprise and Education editions*)
+
+[!INCLUDE [Personal Data Encryption (PDE) description](includes/pde-description.md)]
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### **Required**
+ - [Azure AD joined device](/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-join)
+ - [Windows Hello for Business](../../identity-protection/hello-for-business/hello-overview.md)
+ - Windows 11, version 22H2 and later Enterprise and Education editions
+
+### **Not supported with PDE**
+ - [FIDO/security key authentication](../../identity-protection/hello-for-business/microsoft-compatible-security-key.md)
+ - [Winlogon automatic restart sign-on (ARSO)](/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/manage/component-updates/winlogon-automatic-restart-sign-on--arso-)
+ - For information on disabling ARSO via Intune, see [Disable Winlogon automatic restart sign-on (ARSO)](configure-pde-in-intune.md#disable-winlogon-automatic-restart-sign-on-arso)).
+ - [Windows Information Protection (WIP)](../windows-information-protection/protect-enterprise-data-using-wip.md)
+ - [Hybrid Azure AD joined devices](/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-join-hybrid)
+ - Remote Desktop connections
+
+### **Highly recommended**
+ - [BitLocker Drive Encryption](../bitlocker/bitlocker-overview.md) enabled
+ - Although PDE will work without BitLocker, it's recommended to also enable BitLocker. PDE is meant to supplement BitLocker and not replace it.
+ - Backup solution such as [OneDrive](/onedrive/onedrive)
+ - In certain scenarios such as TPM resets or destructive PIN resets, the PDE encryption keys can be lost. In such scenarios, any file encrypted with PDE will no longer be accessible. The only way to recover such files would be from backup.
+ - [Windows Hello for Business PIN reset service](../../identity-protection/hello-for-business/hello-feature-pin-reset.md)
+ - Destructive PIN resets will cause PDE encryption keys to be lost. The destructive PIN reset will make any file encrypted with PDE no longer accessible after a destructive PIN reset. Files encrypted with PDE will need to be recovered from a backup after a destructive PIN reset. For this reason Windows Hello for Business PIN reset service is recommended since it provides non-destructive PIN resets.
+ - [Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security](/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/windows-hello-enhanced-sign-in-security)
+ - Provides additional security when authenticating with Windows Hello for Business via biometrics or PIN
+ - [Kernel and user mode crash dumps disabled](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-memorydump)
+ - Crash dumps can potentially cause the PDE encryption keys to be exposed. For greatest security, disable kernel and user mode crash dumps. For information on disabling crash dumbs via Intune, see [Disable crash dumps](configure-pde-in-intune.md#disable-crash-dumps).
+ - [Hibernation disabled](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-power#power-allowhibernate)
+ - Hibernation files can potentially cause the PDE encryption keys to be exposed. For greatest security, disable hibernation. For information on disabling crash dumbs via Intune, see [Disable hibernation](configure-pde-in-intune.md#disable-hibernation).
+
+## PDE protection levels
+
+PDE uses AES-256 to encrypt files and offers two levels of protection. The level of protection is determined based on the organizational needs. These levels can be set via the PDE APIs.
+
+| Item | Level 1 | Level 2 |
+|---|---|---|
+| Data is accessible when user is signed in | Yes | Yes |
+| Data is accessible when user has locked their device | Yes | No |
+| Data is accessible after user signs out | No | No |
+| Data is accessible when device is shut down | No | No |
+| Decryption keys discarded | After user signs out | After user locks device or signs out |
+
+## PDE encrypted files accessibility
+
+When a file is encrypted with PDE, its icon will show a padlock. If the user hasn't signed in locally with Windows Hello for Business or an unauthorized user attempts to access a PDE encrypted file, they'll be denied access to the file.
+
+Scenarios where a user will be denied access to a PDE encrypted file include:
+
+- User has signed into Windows via a password instead of signing in with Windows Hello for Business biometric or PIN.
+- If specified via level 2 protection, when the device is locked.
+- When trying to access files on the device remotely. For example, UNC network paths.
+- Remote Desktop sessions.
+- Other users on the device who aren't owners of the file, even if they're signed in via Windows Hello for Business and have permissions to navigate to the PDE encrypted files.
+
+## How to enable PDE
+
+To enable PDE on devices, push an MDM policy to the devices with the following parameters:

+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Enabling the PDE policy on devices only enables the PDE feature. It does not encrypt any files. To encrypt files, use the [PDE APIs](/uwp/api/windows.security.dataprotection.userdataprotectionmanager) to create custom applications and scripts to specify which files to encrypt and at what level to encrypt the files. Additionally, files will not encrypt via the APIs until this policy has been enabled.

+## Differences between PDE and BitLocker
+
+| Item | PDE | BitLocker |
+|--|--|--|
+| Release of encryption keys | At user sign in via Windows Hello for Business | At boot |
+| Encryption keys discarded | At user sign out | At reboot |
+| Files encrypted | Individual specified files | Entire volume/drive |
+| Authentication to access encrypted file | Windows Hello for Business | When BitLocker with PIN is enabled, BitLocker PIN plus Windows sign in |
+| Accessibility | Windows Hello for Business is accessibility friendly | BitLocker with PIN doesn't have accessibility features |
+
+## Differences between PDE and EFS
+
+The main difference between encrypting files with PDE instead of EFS is the method they use to encrypt the file. PDE uses Windows Hello for Business to secure the encryption keys that encrypts the files. EFS uses certificates to secure and encrypt the files.
+
+To see if a file is encrypted with PDE or EFS:
+
+1. Open the properties of the file
+2. Under the **General** tab, select **Advanced...**
+3. In the **Advanced Attributes** windows, select **Details**
+
+For PDE encrypted files, under **Protection status:** there will be an item listed as **Personal Data Encryption is:** and it will have the attribute of **On**.
+
+For EFS encrypted files, under **Users who can access this file:**, there will be a **Certificate thumbprint** next to the users with access to the file. There will also be a section at the bottom labeled **Recovery certificates for this file as defined by recovery policy:**.
+
+Encryption information including what encryption method is being used can be obtained with the command line `cipher.exe /c` command.
+
+## Disable PDE and decrypt files
+
+Currently there's no method to disable PDE via MDM policy. However, PDE can be disabled locally and files can be decrypted using `cipher.exe`.
+
+In certain scenarios a user may be able to manually decrypt a file using the following steps:
+
+1. Open the properties of the file
+2. Under the **General** tab, select **Advanced...**
+3. Uncheck the option **Encrypt contents to secure data**
+4. Select **OK**, and then **OK** again
+
+> [!Important]
+> Once a user selects to manually decrypt a file, they will not be able to manually encrypt the file again.
+
+## Windows out of box applications that support PDE

+# Microsoft Pluton security processor
+
+Microsoft Pluton security processor is a chip-to-cloud security technology built with [Zero Trust](/security/zero-trust/zero-trust-overview) principles at the core. Microsoft Pluton provides hardware-based root of trust, secure identity, secure attestation, and cryptographic services. Pluton technology is a combination of a secure subsystem which is part of the System on Chip (SoC) and Microsoft authored software that runs on this integrated secure subsystem.
+
+Microsoft Pluton is currently available on devices with Ryzen 6000 and Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8cx Gen 3 series processors. Microsoft Pluton can be enabled on devices with Pluton capable processors running Windows 11, version 22H2.
+
+## What is Microsoft Pluton?
+
+Designed by Microsoft and built by silicon partners, Microsoft Pluton is a secure crypto-processor built into the CPU for security at the core to ensure code integrity and the latest protection with updates delivered by Microsoft through Windows Update. Pluton protects credentials, identities, personal data and encryption keys. Information is significantly harder to be removed even if an attacker has installed malware or has complete physical possession of the PC.
+
+Microsoft Pluton is designed to provide the functionality of the Trusted Platform Module as well as deliver other security functionality beyond what is possible with the TPM 2.0 specification, and allows for additional Pluton firmware and OS features to be delivered over time via Windows Update. For more information, see [Microsoft Pluton as TPM](pluton-as-tpm.md).
+
+Pluton is built on proven technology used in Xbox and Azure Sphere, and provides hardened integrated security capabilities to Windows 11 devices in collaboration with leading silicon partners. For more information, see [Meet the Microsoft Pluton processor – The security chip designed for the future of Windows PCs](https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2020/11/17/meet-the-microsoft-pluton-processor-the-security-chip-designed-for-the-future-of-windows-pcs/).
+
+## Microsoft Pluton security architecture overview
+
+
+
+Pluton Security subsystem consists of the following layers:
+
+| | Description |
+|--|--|
+| **Hardware** | Pluton Security Processor is a secure element tightly integrated into the SoC subsystem. It provides a trusted execution environment while delivering cryptographic services required for protecting sensitive resources and critical items like keys, data, etc. |
+| **Firmware** | Microsoft authorized firmware provides required secure features and functionality, and exposes interfaces that operating system software and applications can use to interact with Pluton. The firmware is stored in the flash storage available on the motherboard. When the system boots, the firmware is loaded as a part of Pluton Hardware initialization. During Windows startup, a copy of this firmware (or the latest firmware obtained from Windows Update, if available) is loaded in the operating system. For additional information, see [Firmware load flow](#firmware-load-flow) |
+| **Software** | Operating system drivers and applications available to an end user to allow seamless usage of the hardware capabilities provided by the Pluton security subsystem. |
+
+## Firmware load flow
+
+When the system boots, Pluton hardware initialization is performed by loading the Pluton firmware from the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) flash storage available on the motherboard. During Windows startup however, the latest version of the Pluton firmware is used by the operating system. If newer firmware is not available, Windows uses the firmware that was loaded during the hardware initialization. The diagram below illustrates this process:

+# Microsoft Pluton as Trusted Platform Module
+
+Microsoft Pluton is designed to provide the functionality of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) thereby establishing the silicon root of trust. Microsoft Pluton supports the TPM 2.0 industry standard allowing customers to immediately benefit from the enhanced security in Windows features that rely on TPM including BitLocker, Windows Hello, and Windows Defender System Guard.
+
+As with other TPMs, credentials, encryption keys, and other sensitive information cannot be easily extracted from Pluton even if an attacker has installed malware or has complete physical possession of the device. Storing sensitive data like encryption keys securely within the Pluton processor, which is isolated from the rest of the system, helps ensure that emerging attack techniques such as speculative execution cannot access key material.
+
+Pluton also solves the major security challenge of keeping its own root-of-trust firmware up to date across the entire PC ecosystem, by delivering firmware updates from Windows Update. Today customers receive updates to their security firmware from a variety of different sources, which may make it difficult for them to apply these updates.
+
+To learn more about the TPM related scenarios that benefit from Pluton, see [TPM and Windows Features](/windows/security/information-protection/tpm/tpm-recommendations#tpm-and-windows-features).
+
+## Microsoft Pluton as a security processor alongside discrete TPM
+
+Microsoft Pluton can be used as a TPM, or in conjunction with a TPM. Although Pluton builds security directly into the CPU, device manufacturers may choose to use discrete TPM as the default TPM, while having Pluton available to the system as a security processor for use cases beyond the TPM.
+
+Pluton is integrated within the SoC subsystem, and provides a flexible, updatable platform for running firmware that implements end-to-end security functionality authored, maintained, and updated by Microsoft. We encourage users owning devices that are Pluton capable, to enable Microsoft Pluton as the default TPM.
+
+## Enable Microsoft Pluton as TPM
+
+Devices with Ryzen 6000 and Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8cx Gen 3 series processors are Pluton Capable, however enabling and providing an option to enable Pluton is at the discretion of the device manufacturer. Pluton is supported on these devices and can be enabled from the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) setup options for the device.
+
+UEFI setup options differ from product to product, visit the product website and check for guidance to enable Pluton as TPM.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> If BitLocker is enabled, We recommend disabling BitLocker before changing the TPM configuration to prevent lockouts. After changing TPM configuration, re-enable BitLocker which will then bind the BitLocker keys with the Pluton TPM. Alternatively, save the BitLocker recovery key onto a USB drive.
+>
+> Windows Hello must be re-configured after switching the TPM. Setup alternate login methods before changing the TPM configuration to prevent any login issues.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> On most Lenovo devices, entering the UEFI options requires pressing Enter key at startup followed by pressing F1. In the UEFI Setup menu, select Security option, then on the Security page, select Security Chip option, to see the TPM configuration options. Under the drop-down list for Security Chip selection, select **MSFT Pluton** and click F10 to Save and Exit.

+
+# Enhanced Phishing Protection in Microsoft Defender SmartScreen
+
+Starting in Windows 11 22H2, Enhanced Phishing Protection in Microsoft Defender SmartScreen helps protect Microsoft school or work passwords against phishing and unsafe usage on sites and apps.
+
+Enhanced Phishing Protection works alongside Windows security protections, and helps protect typed work or school passwords used to sign into Windows 11 in three ways:
+
+- If users type their work or school password on any Chromium browser, into a site deemed malicious by Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Enhanced Phishing Protection will alert them. It will also prompt them to change their password so attackers can't gain access to their account
+- Reusing work or school passwords makes it easy for attackers who compromise a user's password to gain access to their other accounts. Enhanced Phishing Protection can warn users if they reuse their work or school Microsoft account password on sites and apps and prompt them to change their password
+- Since it's unsafe to store plaintext passwords in text editors, Enhanced Phishing Protection can warn users if they store their work or school password in Notepad, Word, or any Microsoft 365 Office app, and recommends they delete their password from the file
+
+## Benefits of Enhanced Phishing Protection in Microsoft Defender SmartScreen
+
+Enhanced Phishing Protection provides robust phishing protections for work or school passwords that are used to sign into Windows 11. The benefits of Enhanced Phishing Protection are:
+
+- **Anti-phishing support:** Phishing attacks trick users through convincing imitations of safe content or through credential harvesting content hosted inside trusted sites and applications. Enhanced Phishing Protection helps protect users from reported phishing sites by evaluating the URLs a site or app is connecting to, along with other characteristics, to determine if they're known to distribute or host unsafe content
+- **Secure operating system integration:** Enhanced Phishing Protection is integrated directly into the Windows 11 operating system, so it can understand users' password entry context (including process connections, URLs, certificate information, etc.) in any browser or app. Because Enhanced Phishing Protection has unparalleled insight into what is happening at the OS level, it can identify when users type their work or school password unsafely. If users do use their work or school password unsafely, the feature empowers users to change their password to minimize chances of their compromised credential being weaponized against them
+- **Unparalleled telemetry shared throughout Microsoft's security suite:** Enhanced Phishing Protection is constantly learning from phishing attacks seen throughout the entire Microsoft security stack. It works alongside other Microsoft security products, to provide a layered approach to password security, especially for organizations early in their password-less authentication journey. If your organization uses Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, you'll be able to see valuable phishing sensors data in the M365D Portal. This enables you to view Enhanced Phishing Protection alerts and reports for unsafe password usage in your environment
+- **Easy management through Group Policy and Microsoft Intune:** Enhanced Phishing Protection works with Group Policy and mobile device management (MDM) settings to help you manage your organization's computer settings. Based on how you set up Enhanced Phishing Protection, you can customize which phishing protection scenarios will show users warning dialogs. For example, the Service Enabled setting determines whether the Enhanced Phishing Protection service is on or off. The feature will be in audit mode if the other settings, which correspond to notification policies, are not enabled.
+
+## Configure Enhanced Phishing Protection for your organization
+
+Enhanced Phishing Protection can be configured via Group Policy Objects (GPO) or Configuration Service Providers (CSP) with an MDM service like Microsoft Intune. Follow the instructions below to configure your devices using either GPO or CSP.
+
+#### [✅ **GPO**](#tab/gpo)
+
+Enhanced Phishing Protection can be configured using the following Administrative Templates policy settings:
+
+|Setting|Description|
+|---------|---------|
+|Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Defender SmartScreen\Enhanced Phishing Protection\Service Enabled |This policy setting determines whether Enhanced Phishing Protection is in audit mode or off. Users don't see any notifications for any protection scenarios when Enhanced Phishing Protection is in audit mode. In audit mode, Enhanced Phishing Protection captures unsafe password entry events and sends telemetry through Microsoft Defender.
If you enable or don't configure this setting, Enhanced Phishing Protection is enabled in audit mode, preventing users to turn it off.
If you disable this policy setting, Enhanced Phishing Protection is off. When off, Enhanced Phishing Protection doesn't capture events, send telemetry, or notify users. Additionally, your users are unable to turn it on.|
+|Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Defender SmartScreen\Enhanced Phishing Protection\Notify Malicious|This policy setting determines whether Enhanced Phishing Protection warns your users if they type their work or school password into one of the following malicious scenarios: into a reported phishing site, into a login URL with an invalid certificate, or into an application connecting to either a reported phishing site or a login URL with an invalid certificate.
If you enable this policy setting, Enhanced Phishing Protection warns your users if they type their work or school password into one of the malicious scenarios described above and encourages them to change their password.
If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, Enhanced Phishing Protection won't warn your users if they type their work or school password into one of the malicious scenarios described above.|
+|Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Defender SmartScreen\Enhanced Phishing Protection\Notify Password Reuse |This policy setting determines whether Enhanced Phishing Protection warns your users if they reuse their work or school password.
If you enable this policy setting, Enhanced Phishing Protection warns users if they reuse their work or school password and encourages them to change it.
If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, Enhanced Phishing Protection won't warn users if they reuse their work or school password.|
+|Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Defender SmartScreen\Enhanced Phishing Protection\Notify Unsafe App|This policy setting determines whether Enhanced Phishing Protection warns your users if they type their work or school passwords in Notepad or Microsoft 365 Office Apps.
If you enable this policy setting, Enhanced Phishing Protection warns your users if they store their password in Notepad or Microsoft 365 Office Apps.
If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, Enhanced Phishing Protection won't warn users if they store their password in Notepad or Microsoft 365 Office Apps.|
+
+#### [✅ **CSP**](#tab/csp)
+
+Enhanced Phishing Protection can be configured using the [WebThreatDefense CSP](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-webthreatdefense).
+
+| Setting | OMA-URI | Data type |
+|-------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------|
+| **ServiceEnabled** | `./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/WebThreatDefense/ServiceEnabled` | Integer |
+| **NotifyMalicious** | `./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/WebThreatDefense/NotifyMalicious` | Integer |
+| **NotifyPasswordReuse** | `./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/WebThreatDefense/NotifyPasswordReuse` | Integer |
+| **NotifyUnsafeApp** | `./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/WebThreatDefense/NotifyUnsafeApp` | Integer |
+
+---
+
+### Recommended settings for your organization
+
+By default, Enhanced Phishing Protection is deployed in audit mode, preventing notifications to the users for any protection scenarios. In audit mode, Enhanced Phishing Protection captures unsafe password entry events and sends telemetry through Microsoft Defender. Users aren't warned if they enter their work or school password into a phishing site, if they reuse their password, or if they unsafely store their password in applications. Because of this possibility, it is recommended that you configure Enhanced Phishing Protection to warn users during all protection scenarios.
+
+To better help you protect your organization, we recommend turning on and using these specific Microsoft Defender SmartScreen Group Policy and MDM settings.
+
+#### [✅ **GPO**](#tab/gpo)
+
+|Group Policy setting|Recommendation|
+|---------|---------|
+|Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Defender SmartScreen\Enhanced Phishing Protection\Service Enabled| **Enable**: Enhanced Phishing Protection is enabled in audit mode and your users are unable to turn it off.|
+|Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Defender SmartScreen\Enhanced Phishing Protection\Notify Malicious|**Enable**: Enhanced Phishing Protection warns your users if they type their work or school password into one of the following malicious scenarios: into a reported phishing site, into a login URL with an invalid certificate, or into an application connecting to either a reported phishing site or a login URL with an invalid certificate. It encourages users to change their password.|
+|Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Defender SmartScreen\Enhanced Phishing Protection\Notify Password Reuse|**Enable**: Enhanced Phishing Protection warns users if they reuse their work or school password and encourages them to change it.|
+|Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Defender SmartScreen\Enhanced Phishing Protection\Notify Unsafe App|**Enable**: Enhanced Phishing Protection warns users if they store their password in Notepad and Microsoft 365 Office Apps.|
+
+#### [✅ **CSP**](#tab/csp)
+
+|MDM setting|Recommendation|
+|---------|---------|
+|ServiceEnabled|**1**: Turns on Enhanced Phishing Protection in audit mode, which captures work or school password entry events and sends telemetry but doesn't show any notifications to your users.|
+|NotifyMalicious|**1**: Turns on Enhanced Phishing Protection notifications when users type their work or school password into one of the previously described malicious scenarios and encourages them to change their password.|
+|NotifyPasswordReuse|**1**: Turns on Enhanced Phishing Protection notifications when users reuse their work or school password and encourages them to change their password.|

In order to minimize user productivity impact, Alice has defined a policy that makes several trade-offs between security and user app flexibility. Some of the trade-offs include:
-- **Users with administrative access**
- This is by far the most impactful security trade-off and allows the device user, or malware running with the user's privileges, to modify or remove the WDAC policy on the device. Additionally, administrators can configure any app to act as a managed installer, which would allow them to gain persistent app authorization for whatever apps or binaries they wish.

+ Possible mitigations:

-- **Unsigned policies**
- Unsigned policies can be replaced or removed without consequence by any process running as administrator. Unsigned base policies that also enable supplemental policies can have their "circle-of-trust" altered by any unsigned supplemental policy.

+## Blocking vulnerable drivers using WDAC
Microsoft recommends enabling [HVCI](/windows/security/threat-protection/device-guard/enable-virtualization-based-protection-of-code-integrity) or S mode to protect your devices against security threats. If this setting isn't possible, Microsoft recommends blocking this list of drivers within your existing Windows Defender Application Control policy. Blocking kernel drivers without sufficient testing can result in devices or software to malfunction, and in rare cases, blue screen. It's recommended to first validate this policy in [audit mode](audit-windows-defender-application-control-policies.md) and review the audit block events.
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Microsoft also recommends enabling Attack Surface Reduction (ASR) rule [**Block abuse of exploited vulnerable signed drivers**](/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/attack-surface-reduction-rules-reference#block-abuse-of-exploited-vulnerable-signed-drivers) to prevent an application from writing a vulnerable signed driver to disk. The ASR rule doesn't block a driver already existing on the system from being loaded, however enabling **Microsoft vulnerable driver blocklist** or applying this WDAC policy prevents the existing driver from being loaded.

This level offers less specific security than the hash level, but it doesn't typically require a policy update when any binary is modified. |
| **FilePath** | Beginning with Windows 10 version 1903, this level allows binaries to run from specific file path locations. FilePath rules only apply to user mode binaries and can't be used to allow kernel mode drivers. More information about FilePath level rules can be found below. |
| **SignedVersion** | This level combines the publisher rule with a version number. It allows anything to run from the specified publisher with a version at or above the specified version number. |
| **Publisher** | This level combines the PcaCertificate level (typically one certificate below the root) and the common name (CN) of the leaf certificate. You can use this rule level to trust a certificate issued by a particular CA and issued to a specific company you trust (such as Intel, for device drivers). |

| **LeafCertificate** | Adds trusted signers at the individual signing certificate level. The benefit of using this level versus the individual hash level is that new versions of the product will have different hash values but typically the same signing certificate. When this level is used, no policy update would be needed to run the new version of the application. However, leaf certificates have much shorter validity periods than other certificate levels, so the Windows Defender Application Control policy must be updated whenever these certificates change. |

-WDAC uses the [Authenticode/PE image hash algorithm](https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/c/5/9c5b2167-8017-4bae-9fde-d599bac8184a/Authenticode_PE.docx) when calculating the hash of a file. Unlike the more popular, but less secure, [flat file hash](/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/get-filehash), the Authenticode hash calculation omits the file's checksum and the Certificate Table and the Attribute Certificate Table. Therefore, the Authenticode hash of a file doesn't change when the file is re-signed or timestamped, or the digital signature is removed from the file. With the help of the Authenticode hash, WDAC provides added security and less management overhead so customers don't need to revise the policy hash rules when the digital signature on the file is updated.

### Why does scan create four hash rules per XML file?
The PowerShell cmdlet will produce an Authenticode Sha1 Hash, Sha256 Hash, Sha1 Page Hash, Sha256 Page Hash.
During validation, CI will choose which hashes to calculate, depending on how the file is signed. For example, if the file is page-hash signed the entire file wouldn't get paged in to do a full sha256 authenticode, and we would just match using the first page hash.
-In the cmdlets, rather than try to predict which hash CI will use, we pre-calculate and use the four hashes (sha1/sha2 authenticode, and sha1/sha2 of first page). This method is also resilient, if the signing status of the file changes and necessary for deny rules to ensure that changing/stripping the signature doesn’t result in a different hash than what was in the policy being used by CI.

### Why does scan create eight hash rules for certain XML files?
-Separate rules are created for UMCI and KMCI. In some cases, files that are purely user-mode or purely kernel-mode may still generate both sets, since CI can’t always precisely determine what is purely user vs. kernel mode, and errs on the side of caution.

+Starting in Windows 11 version 22H2, [Smart App Control](https://support.microsoft.com/topic/what-is-smart-app-control-285ea03d-fa88-4d56-882e-6698afdb7003) provides application control for consumers. Smart App Control is based on WDAC, allowing enterprise customers to create a policy that offers the same security and compatibility with the ability to customize it to run line-of-business (LOB) apps. To make it easier to implement this policy, an [example policy](example-wdac-base-policies.md) is provided. The example policy includes **Enabled:Conditional Windows Lockdown Policy** rule which isn't supported for WDAC enterprise policies. This rule must be removed before you use the example policy. To use this example policy as a starting point for creating your own policy, see [Create a custom base policy using an example WDAC base policy](create-wdac-policy-for-lightly-managed-devices.md#create-a-custom-base-policy-using-an-example-wdac-base-policy).
+
+Smart App Control is only available on clean installation of Windows 11 version 22H2 or later, and starts in evaluation mode. Smart App Control will automatically turn off for enterprise managed devices unless the user has turned it on first. To turn Smart App Control on or off across your organization's endpoints, you can set the **VerifiedAndReputablePolicyState** (DWORD) registry value under `HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Policy` to one of the values listed below. After you change the registry value, you must either restart the device or run [RefreshPolicy.exe](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=102925) for the change to take effect.

+# What's new in Windows 11, version 22H2
+
+**Applies to**: Windows 11, version 22H2
+
+Windows 11, version 22H2 is a feature update for Windows 11. It includes all features and fixes in previous cumulative updates to Windows 11, version 21H2, the original Windows 11 release version. This article lists the new and updated features IT Pros should know.
+
+Windows 11, version 22H2 follows the [Windows 11 servicing timeline](/lifecycle/faq/windows#windows-11):
+
+- **Windows 11 Pro**: Serviced for 24 months from the release date.
+- **Windows 11 Enterprise**: Serviced for 36 months from the release date.
+
+Windows 11, version 22H2 is available through Windows Server Update Services (including Configuration Manager), Windows Update for Business, and the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC). For more information, see [How to get the Windows 11, version 22H2 update](https://aka.ms/W11/how-to-get-22H2). Review the [Windows 11, version 22H2 Windows IT Pro blog post](https://aka.ms/new-in-22H2) to discover information about available deployment resources such as the [Windows Deployment Kit (Windows ADK)](/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install).
+
+
+To learn more about the status of the update rollout, known issues, and new information, see [Windows release health](/windows/release-health/).
+
+## Microsoft Pluton
+
+Microsoft Pluton security processor is a chip-to-cloud security technology built with Zero Trust principles at the core. Microsoft Pluton provides hardware-based root of trust, secure identity, secure attestation, and cryptographic services. Pluton technology is a combination of a secure subsystem, which is part of the System on Chip (SoC) and Microsoft authored software that runs on this integrated secure subsystem. Microsoft Pluton can be enabled on devices with Pluton capable processors running Windows 11, version 22H2.
+
+For more information, see [Microsoft Pluton security processor](/windows/security/information-protection/pluton/microsoft-pluton-security-processor).
+
+## Enhanced Phishing Protection
+
+**Enhanced Phishing Protection** in **Microsoft Defender SmartScreen** helps protect Microsoft school or work passwords against phishing and unsafe usage on websites and in applications. Enhanced Phishing Protection works alongside Windows security protections to help protect Windows 11 work or school sign-in passwords.
+
+For more information, see [Enhanced Phishing Protection in Microsoft Defender SmartScreen](/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-smartscreen/phishing-protection-microsoft-defender-smartscreen) and [Protect passwords with enhanced phishing protection](https://aka.ms/EnhancedPhishingProtectionBlog) in the Windows IT Pro blog.
+
+## Smart App Control
+
+**Smart App Control** adds significant protection from malware, including new and emerging threats, by blocking apps that are malicious or untrusted. **Smart App Control** also helps to block potentially unwanted apps, which are apps that may cause your device to run slowly, display unexpected ads, offer extra software you didn't want, or do other things you don't expect.
+
+For more information, see [Smart App Control](/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-control/windows-defender-application-control.md#wdac-and-smart-app-control).
+
+## Credential Guard
+
+Compatible Windows 11 Enterprise version 22H2 devices will have **Windows Defender Credential Guard** turned on by default. This changes the default state of the feature in Windows, though system administrators can still modify this enablement state.
+
+For more information, see [Manage Windows Defender Credential Guard](/windows/security/identity-protection/credential-guard/credential-guard-manage).
+
+## Malicious and vulnerable driver blocking
+
+The vulnerable driver blocklist is automatically enabled on devices for the following two new conditions:
+- When Smart App Control is enabled
+- For clean installs of Windows
+
+For more information, see [recommended block rules](/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-control/microsoft-recommended-block-rules#microsoft-vulnerable-driver-blocklist).
+
+## Security hardening and threat protection
+
+Windows 11, version 22H2 supports additional protection for the Local Security Authority (LSA) process to prevent code injection that could compromise credentials.
+
+For more information, see [Configuring Additional LSA Protection](/windows-server/security/credentials-protection-and-management/configuring-additional-lsa-protection?toc=/windows/security/toc.json&bc=/windows/security/breadcrumb/toc.json).
+
+## Personal Data Encryption
+
+Personal data encryption (PDE) is a security feature introduced in Windows 11, version 22H2 that provides additional encryption features to Windows. PDE differs from BitLocker in that it encrypts individual files instead of whole volumes and disks. PDE occurs in addition to other encryption methods such as BitLocker.
+
+PDE utilizes Windows Hello for Business to link data encryption keys with user credentials. This feature can minimize the number of credentials the user has to remember to gain access to files. For example, when using BitLocker with PIN, a user would need to authenticate twice - once with the BitLocker PIN and a second time with Windows credentials. This requirement requires users to remember two different credentials. With PDE, users only need to enter one set of credentials via Windows Hello for Business.
+
+For more information, see [Personal Data Encryption](/windows/security/information-protection/personal-data-encryption/overview-pde).
+
+## WebAuthn APIs support ECC
+
+Elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) is now supported by WebAuthn APIs for Windows 11, version 22H2 clients.
+
+For more information, see [WebAuthn APIs for passwordless authentication on Windows](/windows/security/identity-protection/hello-for-business/webauthn-apis).
+
+## Stickers for Windows 11 SE, version 22H2
+
+Starting in Windows 11 SE, version 22H2, **Stickers** is a new feature that allows students to decorate their desktop with digital stickers. Students can choose from over 500 cheerful, education-friendly digital stickers. Stickers can be arranged, resized, and customized on top of the desktop background. Each student's stickers remain, even when the background changes.
+
+For more information, see [Configure Stickers for Windows 11 SE](/education/windows/edu-stickers).
+
+## Education themes
+
+Starting in Windows 11, version 22H2, you can deploy education themes to your devices. The education themes are designed for students using devices in a school. Themes allow the end user to quickly configure the look and feel of the device, with preset wallpaper, accent color, and other settings. Students can choose their own themes, making it feel the device is their own.
+
+For more information, see [Configure education themes for Windows 11](/education/windows/edu-themes).
+
+## Windows Update notifications
+
+
+The following items were added for Windows Update notifications:
+
+- You can now block user notifications for Windows Updates during active hours. This setting is especially useful for educational organizations that want to prevent Windows Update notifications from occurring during class time. For more information, see [Control restart notifications](/windows/deployment/update/waas-restart#control-restart-notifications).
+
+- The organization name now appears in the Windows Update notifications when Windows clients are associated with an Azure Active Directory tenant. For more information, see [Display organization name in Windows Update notifications](/windows/deployment/update/waas-wu-settings#bkmk_display-name).
+
+## Start menu layout
+
+Windows 11, version 22H2 now supports additional CSPs for customizing the start menu layout. These CSPs allow you to hide the app list and disable context menus.
+
+For more information, see [Supported configuration service provider (CSP) policies for Windows 11 Start menu](/windows/configuration/supported-csp-start-menu-layout-windows#existing-windows-csp-policies-that-windows-11-supports).
+
+## Improvements to task manager
+
+- A new command bar was added to each page to give access to common actions
+- Task Manager will automatically match the system wide theme configured in **Windows Settings**
+- Added an efficiency mode that allows you to limit the resource usage of a process
+- Updated the user experience for Task Manager
+
+## Windows accessibility
+
+Windows 11, version 22H2, includes additional improvements for people with disabilities: system-wide live captions, Focus sessions, voice access, and more natural voices for Narrator. For more information, see [New accessibility features coming to Windows 11](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2022/05/10/new-accessibility-features-coming-to-windows-11/) and [How inclusion drives innovation in Windows 11](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/?p=177554).
