In Windows 10, version 1803, block at first sight can now block non-portable executable files (such as JS, VBS, or macros) as well as executable files.
Block at first sight only uses the cloud protection backend for executable files and non-portable executable files that are downloaded from the Internet, or that originate from the Internet zone. A hash value of the .exe file is checked via the cloud backend to determine if this is a previously undetected file.
-If the cloud backend is unable to make a determination, Windows Defender Antivirus locks the file and uploads a copy to the cloud. The cloud performs additional analysis to reach a determination before it either allows the file to run or blocks it in all future encounters, depending on whether it determines the file to be malicious or safe.

The cloud performs additional analysis to reach a determination before it either allows the file to run or blocks it in all future encounters, depending on whether it determines the file to be malicious or safe.
In many cases, this process can reduce the response time for new malware from hours to seconds.

### Will EDR in block mode have any impact on a user's antivirus protection?
-No. EDR in block mode does not affect third-party antivirus protection running on users' machines. EDR in block mode kicks in if the primary antivirus solution misses something, or if there is a post-breach detection. EDR in block mode works just like [Windows Defender Antivirus in passive mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/microsoft-defender-antivirus-compatibility#functionality-and-features-available-in-each-state), with the additional steps of blocking and remediating malicious artifacts or behaviors that are detected.

When a threat is detected, alerts are created in the system for an analyst to investigate. Alerts with the same attack techniques or attributed to the same attacker are aggregated into an entity called an _incident_. Aggregating alerts in this manner makes it easy for analysts to collectively investigate and respond to threats.

Inspired by the "assume breach" mindset, Microsoft Defender ATP continuously collects behavioral cyber telemetry. This includes process information, network activities, deep optics into the kernel and memory manager, user login activities, registry and file system changes, and others. The information is stored for six months, enabling an analyst to travel back in time to the start of an attack. The analyst can then pivot in various views and approach an investigation through multiple vectors.
The response capabilities give you the power to promptly remediate threats by acting on the affected entities.

+
+>Want to experience Microsoft Defender ATP? [Sign up for a free trial.](https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/windows/microsoft-defender-atp?ocid=docs-wdatp-managealerts-abovefoldlink)
+
+[!include[Prerelease information](../../includes/prerelease.md)]
+
+The new alert page in Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (Microsoft Defender ATP) provides full context to the alert, by combining attack signals and alerts related to the selected alert, to construct a detailed alert story.
+
+Quickly triage, investigate, and take effective action on alerts that affect your organization. Understand why they were triggered, and their impact from one location.
+
+## Getting started with an alert
+
+Clicking on an alert's name in Microsoft Defender ATP will land you on its alert page. On the alert page, all the information will be shown in context of the selected alert. Each alert page consists of 4 sections:
+
+1. **The alert title** shows the alert's name and is there to remind you which alert started your current investigation regardless of what you have selected on the page.
+2. [**Affected assets**](#review-affected-assets) lists cards of devices and users affected by this alert that are clickable for further information and actions.
+3. [**The alert story**](#investigate-using-the-alert-story) displays all entities related to the alert, interconnected by a tree view. The alert in the title will be the one in focus when you first land on your selected alert's page. Entities in the alert story are expandable and clickable, to provide additional information and expedite response by allowing you to take actions right in the context of the alert page.
+4. [**The details pane**](#take-action-from-the-details-pane) will show the details of the selected alert at first, with details and actions related to this alert. If you click on any of the affected assets or entities in the alert story, the details pane will change to provide contextual information and actions for the selected object.
+
+
+
+Note the detection status for your alert. Blocked, prevented, or remediated means actions were already taken by Microsoft Defender ATP.
+Start by reviewing the *automated investigation details* in your alert's [details pane](#take-action-from-the-details-pane), to see which actions were already taken, as well as reading the alert's description for recommended actions.
+
+
+
+Other information available in the details pane when the alert opens includes MITRE techniques, source, and additional contextual details.
+
+## Review affected assets
+
+Clicking on a device or a user card in the affected assets sections will switch to the details of the device or user in the details pane.
+
+- **For devices** the details pane will display information about the device itself, like Domain, Operating System, and IP. Active alerts and the logged on users on that device are also available. You can take immediate action by isolating the device, restricting app execution, or running an antivirus scan. Alternatively, you could collect an investigation package, initiate an automated investigation, or go to the machine page to investigate from the device's point of view.
+- **For users** the details pane will display detailed user information, such as the user's SAM name and SID, as well as logon types performed by this user and any alerts and incidents related to it. You can click *Open user page* to continue the investigation from that user's point of view.
+
+ 
+
+## Investigate using the alert story
+
+The alert story details why the alert was triggered, related events that happened before and after, as well as other related entities.
+
+Entities are clickable and every entity that isn't an alert is expandable using the expand icon on the right side of that entity's card. The entity in focus will be indicated by a blue stripe to the left side of that entity's card, with the alert in the title being in focus at first.
+
+Expand entities to view details at-a-glance about them. Clicking on an entity will switch the context of the details pane to this entity, and will allow you to review further information, as well as manage that entity. Clicking on *...* to the right of the entity card will reveal all actions available for that entity. These same actions appear in the details pane when that entity is in focus.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The alert story section may contain more than one alert, with additional alerts related to the same execution tree appearing before or after the alert you've selected.
+
+
+
+## Take action from the details pane
+
+Once you've selected an entity of interest, the details pane will change to display information about the selected entity type, historic information, when its available, and offer controls to **take action** on this entity directly from the alert page.
+
+Once you're done investigating, go back to the alert you started with, mark the alert's status as **Resolved** and classify it as either **False alert** or **True alert**. Classifying alerts helps tune this capability to provide more true alerts and less false alerts.
+
+If you classify it as a true alert, you can also select a determination, as shown in the image below.
+
+
+
+If you are experiencing a false alert with a line-of-business application, create a suppression rule to avoid this type of alert in the future.
+
+
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you're experiencing any issues not described above, use the 🙂 button to provide feedback or open a support ticket.
+
+## Transitioning to the new alert page
+
+When making the move to the new alert page you will notice that we have centralized information from the alert process tree, the incident graph, and the artifact timeline into the [alert story](#investigate-using-the-alert-story), with some information available through the [affected assets](#review-affected-assets) section. Any additional information has been consolidated into the details pane for the relevant entities.

### Potential impact
Requirements for extremely long passwords can actually decrease the security of an organization because users might leave the information in an unsecured location or lose it. If very long passwords are required, mistyped passwords could cause account lockouts and increase the volume of Help Desk calls. If your organization has issues with forgotten passwords due to password length requirements, consider teaching your users about passphrases, which are often easier to remember and, due to the larger number of character combinations, much harder to discover.

-If you configure the server to require LDAP signatures, you must also configure the client computers. If you do not configure the client devices, they cannot communicate with the server, which could cause many features to fail, including user authentication, Group Policy, and logon scripts.
+If you configure the client to require LDAP signatures, it may fail to communicate with the LDAP servers that do not require requests to be signed. To avoid this issue, make sure that both the **Network security: LDAP client signing requirements** and **Domain controller: LDAP server signing requirements** settings are set to **Require signing**.

Legitimate applications from trusted vendors provide valid functionality. However, an attacker could also potentially use that same functionality to run malicious executable code that could bypass WDAC.
- For operational scenarios that require elevated security, certain applications with known Code Integrity bypasses may represent a security risk if you whitelist them in your WDAC policies. Other applications, where older versions of the application had vulnerabilities, also represent a risk. Therefore, you may want to deny or block such applications from your WDAC policies. For applications with vulnerabilities, once the vulnerabilities are fixed you can create a rule that only allows the fixed or newer versions of that application.

-# Configure Windows Defender Application Guard policy settings
-
-**Applies to:**
-- [Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (Microsoft Defender ATP)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2069559)
-
-Windows Defender Application Guard (Application Guard) works with Group Policy to help you manage your organization's computer settings. By using Group Policy, you can configure a setting once, and then copy it onto many computers. For example, you can set up multiple security settings in a GPO, which is linked to a domain, and then apply all those settings to every computer in the domain.
-
-Application Guard uses both network isolation and application-specific settings.
-
-## Network isolation settings
-
-These settings, located at **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Network Isolation**, help you define and manage your company's network boundaries. Application Guard uses this information to automatically transfer any requests to access the non-corporate resources into the Application Guard container.
-
->[!NOTE]
->You must configure either the Enterprise resource domains hosted in the cloud or Private network ranges for apps settings on your employee devices to successfully turn on Application Guard using enterprise mode. Proxy servers must be a neutral resource listed in the "Domains categorized as both work and personal" policy.

-
-|Policy name|Supported versions|Description|
-|-----------|------------------|-----------|
-|Private network ranges for apps|At least Windows Server 2012, Windows 8, or Windows RT|A comma-separated list of IP address ranges that are in your corporate network. Included endpoints or endpoints that are included within a specified IP address range, are rendered using Microsoft Edge and won't be accessible from the Application Guard environment.|
-|Enterprise resource domains hosted in the cloud|At least Windows Server 2012, Windows 8, or Windows RT|A pipe-separated (\|) list of your domain cloud resources.

-|Block enterprise websites to load non-enterprise content in IE and Edge|Windows 10 Enterprise, 1709 or higher|Determines whether to allow Internet access for apps not included on the **Allowed Apps** list.|**Enabled.** Prevents network traffic from both Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge to non-enterprise sites that can't render in the Application Guard container. **Note:** This may also block assets cached by CDNs and references to analytics sites. Please add them to the trusted enterprise resources to avoid broken pages.
**Disabled or not configured.** Prevents Microsoft Edge to render network traffic to non-enterprise sites that can't render in Application Guard.
**Note**
This policy is no longer supported in the 2004 update and later.|
-|Allow Persistence|Windows 10 Enterprise, 1709 or higher
Windows 10 Pro, 1803 or higher|Determines whether data persists across different sessions in Windows Defender Application Guard.|**Enabled.** Application Guard saves user-downloaded files and other items (such as, cookies, Favorites, and so on) for use in future Application Guard sessions.
**Disabled or not configured.** All user data within Application Guard is reset between sessions.
**Note**
If you later decide to stop supporting data persistence for your employees, you can use our Windows-provided utility to reset the container and to discard any personal data.
**To reset the container:**
1. Open a command-line program and navigate to `Windows/System32`.
2. Type `wdagtool.exe cleanup`. The container environment is reset, retaining only the employee-generated data.
3. Type `wdagtool.exe cleanup RESET_PERSISTENCE_LAYER`. The container environment is reset, including discarding all employee-generated data.|
-|Turn on Windows Defender Application Guard in Managed Mode|Windows 10 Enterprise, 1809 or higher|Determines whether to turn on Application Guard for Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Office.|**Enabled.** Turns on Application Guard for Microsoft Edge and/or Microsoft Office, honoring the network isolation settings, rendering non-enterprise domains in the Application Guard container. Be aware that Application Guard won't actually be turned On unless the required prerequisites and network isolation settings are already set on the device. Available options:
- Enable Windows Defender Application Guard only for Microsoft Edge
- Enable Windows Defender Application Guard only for Microsoft Office
- Enable Windows Defender Application Guard for both Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Office
**Disabled.** Turns Off Application Guard, allowing all apps to run in Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Office.|

**Disabled or not configured.** Users are not able to saved downloaded files from Application Guard to the host operating system.|
-|Allow hardware-accelerated rendering for Windows Defender Application Guard|Windows 10 Enterprise, 1803 or higher
Windows 10 Pro, 1803 or higher|Determines whether Windows Defender Application Guard renders graphics using hardware or software acceleration.|**Enabled.** Windows Defender Application Guard uses Hyper-V to access supported, high-security rendering graphics hardware (GPUs). These GPUs improve rendering performance and battery life while using Windows Defender Application Guard, particularly for video playback and other graphics-intensive use cases. If this setting is enabled without connecting any high-security rendering graphics hardware, Windows Defender Application Guard will automatically revert to software-based (CPU) rendering. **Important:** Be aware that enabling this setting with potentially compromised graphics devices or drivers might pose a risk to the host device.
**Disabled or not configured.** Windows Defender Application Guard uses software-based (CPU) rendering and won’t load any third-party graphics drivers or interact with any connected graphics hardware.|
-|Allow camera and microphone access in Windows Defender Application Guard|Windows 10 Enterprise, 1809 or higher
Windows 10 Pro, 1809 or higher|Determines whether to allow camera and microphone access inside Windows Defender Application Guard.|**Enabled.** Applications inside Windows Defender Application Guard are able to access the camera and microphone on the user's device. **Important:** Be aware that enabling this policy with a potentially compromised container could bypass camera and microphone permissions and access the camera and microphone without the user's knowledge.
**Disabled or not configured.** Applications inside Windows Defender Application Guard are unable to access the camera and microphone on the user's device.|
-|Allow Windows Defender Application Guard to use Root Certificate Authorities from a user's device|Windows 10 Enterprise, 1809 or higher
Windows 10 Pro, 1809 or higher|Determines whether Root Certificates are shared with Windows Defender Application Guard.|**Enabled.** Certificates matching the specified thumbprint are transferred into the container. Use a comma to separate multiple certificates.
**Disabled or not configured.** Certificates are not shared with Windows Defender Application Guard.|
-|Allow users to trust files that open in Windows Defender Application Guard|Windows 10 Enterprise, 1809 or higher|Determines whether users are able to manually trust untrusted files to open them on the host.|**Enabled.** Users are able to manually trust files or trust files after an antivirus check.

WSC now includes the Fluent Design System elements you know and love. You’ll also notice we’ve adjusted the spacing and padding around the app. It will now dynamically size the categories on the main page if more room is needed for extra info. We also updated the title bar so that it will use your accent color if you have enabled that option in **Color Settings**.

- Intune console updates: target version is now available allowing you to specify which version of Windows 10 you want devices to move to. Additionally, this capability enables you to keep devices on their current version until they reach end of service. Check it out in Intune, also available as a Group Policy and Configuration Service Provider (CSP) policy.
- Validation improvements: To ensure devices and end users stay productive and protected, Microsoft uses safeguard holds to block devices from updating when there are known issues that would impact that device. Also, to better enable IT administrators to validate on the latest release, we have created a new policy that enables admins to opt devices out of the built-in safeguard holds.
+- Update less: Last year, we [changed update installation policies](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2019/04/04/improving-the-windows-10-update-experience-with-control-quality-and-transparency/#l2jH7KMkOkfcWdBs.97) for Windows 10 to only target devices running a feature update version that is nearing end of service. As a result, many devices are only updating once a year. To enable all devices to make the most of this policy change, and to prevent confusion, we have removed deferrals from the Windows Update settings **Advanced Options** page starting on Windows 10, version 2004. If you wish to continue leveraging deferrals, you can use local Group Policy (**Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Select when Preview builds and Feature Updates are received** or **Select when Quality Updates are received**).
