If you want to minimize connections from Windows to Microsoft services, or configure particular privacy settings, this article covers the settings that you could consider. You can configure telemetry at the lowest level for your edition of Windows, and also evaluate which other connections Windows makes to Microsoft services you want to turn off in your environment from the list in this article.
|
||||
|
||||
Some of the network connections discussed in this article can be managed in Windows 10 Mobile, Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise, and the July release of Windows 10. However, you must use Windows 10 Enterprise, version 1511 or Windows 10 Education, version 1511 to manage them all.

Some of the network connections discussed in this article can be managed in Windows 10 Mobile, Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise, Windows 10, version 1507, and Windows 10, version 1511. However, you must use Windows 10 Enterprise, version 1607 or Windows 10 Education, version 1607 to manage them all.
|
||||
|
||||
In Windows 10 Enterprise, version 1511 or Windows 10 Education, version 1511, you can configure telemetry at the Security level, turn off Windows Defender telemetry and MSRT reporting, and turn off all other connections to Microsoft services as described in this article to prevent Windows from sending any data to Microsoft. We strongly recommend against this, as this data helps us deliver a secure, reliable, and more delightful personalized experience.

This section lists the components that make network connections to Microsoft services automatically. You can configure these settings to control the data that is sent to Microsoft. To prevent Windows from sending any data to Microsoft, configure telemetry at the Security level, turn off Windows Defender telemetry and MSRT reporting, and turn off all of these connections. We strongly recommend against this, as this data helps us deliver a secure, reliable, and more delightful personalized experience.

The settings in this section assume you are using Windows 10, version 1511 (currently available in the Current Branch and Current Branch for Business). They will also be included in the next update for the Long Term Servicing Branch.

### <a href="" id="certificate-trust-lists"></a>1. Certificate trust lists
|
||||
|
||||
A certificate trust list is a predefined list of items, such as a list of certificate hashes or a list of file name, that are signed by a trusted entity. Windows automatically downloads an updated certificate trust list when it is available.
|
||||
|
||||
To turn off the automatic download of an updated certificate trust list, you can turn off automatic root updates, which also includes the disallowed certificate list and the pin rules list.
|
||||
|
||||
- Enable the Group Policy: **Computer Configuration** > **Administrative Templates** > **System** > **Internet Communication Management** > **Internet Communication Settings** > **Turn off Automatic Root Certificates Update**
|
||||
|

-or-
|
||||

- Create a REG\_DWORD registry setting called **DisableRootAutoUpdate** in **HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot\DisableRootAutoUpdate**, with a value of 1.
|
||||
|
||||
After that, do the following in a Group Policy:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to **Computer Configuration** > **Windows Settings** > **Security Settings** > **Public Key Policies**.
|
||||
2. Double-click **Certificate Path Validation Settings**.
|
||||
3. On the **Network Retrieval** tab, select the **Define these policy settings** check box.
