Microsoft customers who deploy servers that are running Windows Server may have problems that affect RPC communication between servers if firewalls are used on the internal network. In these situations, we recommend that you reconfigure the firewalls to allow traffic between servers in the dynamic port range of **49152** through **65535**. This range is in addition to well-known ports that are used by services and applications. Or, the port range that is used by the servers can be modified on each server.

# Essential services and connected experiences for Windows
**Applies to**
- Windows 11
- Windows 10, version 1903 and later
Windows includes features that connect to the internet to provide enhanced experiences and additional service-based capabilities. These features are called connected experiences. For example, Microsoft Defender Antivirus is a connected experience that delivers updated protection to keep the devices in your organization secure.
When a connected experience is used, data is sent to and processed by Microsoft to provide that connected experience. This data is crucial because this information enables us to deliver these cloud-based connected experiences. We refer to this data as required service data. Required service data can include information related to the operation of the connected experience that is needed to keep the underlying service secure, up to date, and performing as expected. Required service data can also include information needed by a connected experience to perform its task, such as configuration information about Windows.
The connected experiences you choose to use in Windows will impact what required service data is sent to us.
Required service data is also collected and sent to Microsoft for essential services. Essential services are used to keep the product **secure, up to date, performing as expected** or are **integral** to how the product works. For example, the licensing service that confirms that you’re properly licensed to use Windows.
Although enterprise admins can turn off most essential services, we recommend, where applicable, you consider hosting the services on-premises and carefully assess the impact of turning off remaining services. The following list describes the essential services and connected experiences that are available to you in Windows and provides links to further information about each one.
> [!NOTE]
> The information in this article describes the most common connected experiences and essential services. We will continue to update our list of connected experiences over time as Windows evolves.
## Windows essential services
| **Essential service** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
|Authentication|The authentication service is required to enable sign in to work or school accounts. It validates a user’s identity and provides access to multiple apps and system components like OneDrive and activity history. Using a work or school account to sign in to Windows enables Microsoft to provide a consistent experience across your devices. If the authentication service is turned off, many apps and components may lose functionality and users may not be able to sign in. <br/>To turn it off, see [Microsoft Account](manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services.md#12-microsoft-account).|
|Certificates|Certificates are digital files, stored on client devices, used to both encrypt data and verify the identity of an individual or organization. Trusted root certificates issued by a certification authority (CA), are stored in a certificate trust list (CTL). The Automatic Root Certificates Update mechanism contacts Windows Updates to update the CTL. If a new version of the CTL is identified, the list of trusted root certificates cached on the local device will be updated. Untrusted certificates are certificates that are publicly known to be fraudulent. Untrusted certificates are also stored in a list on the local device and updated by the Automatic Root Certificates Update mechanism. <br/>If automatic updates are turned off, applications and websites may stop working because they did not receive an updated root certificate that the application uses. Additionally, the list of untrusted certificates will no longer be updated, which increases the attack vector on the device. <br/>To turn it off, see [Automatic Root Certificates Update](manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services.md#automatic-root-certificates-update).|
| Services Configuration | Services Configuration is used by Windows components and apps, such as the telemetry service, to dynamically update their configuration. If you turn off this service, apps using this service may stop working. <br/>To turn it off, see [Services Configuration](/windows/privacy/manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services#31-services-configuration).|
| Licensing | Licensing services are used for the activation of Windows, and apps purchased from the Microsoft Store. If you disable the Windows License Manager Service or the Software Protection Platform Service, it may prevent activation of genuine Windows and store applications. <br/>To turn off licensing services, see [License Manager](/windows/privacy/manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services#9-license-manager) and [Software Protection Platform](/windows/privacy/manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services#19-software-protection-platform).|
| Networking | Networking in Windows provides connectivity to and from your devices to the local intranet and internet. If you turn off networking, Windows devices will lose network connectivity. <br/>To turn off Network Adapters, see [Disable-NetAdapter](/powershell/module/netadapter/disable-netadapter).|
| Device setup | The first time a user sets up a new device, the Windows out-of-box experience (OOBE) guides the user through the steps to accept the license agreement, connect to the internet, sign in to (or sign up for) a Microsoft account, and takes care of other important tasks. Most settings can also be changed after setup is completed. <br/>To customize the initial setup experience, see [Customize Setup](/windows-hardware/customize/desktop/customize-oobe).|
| Diagnostic Data | Microsoft collects diagnostic data including error data about your devices with the help of the telemetry service. Diagnostic data gives every user a voice in the operating system’s development and ongoing improvement. It helps us understand how Windows behaves in the real world, focus on user priorities, find and fix problems, and improve services. This data allows Microsoft to improve the Windows experience. Setting diagnostic data to off means important information to help fix issues and improve quality will not be available to Microsoft. <br/>To turn it off, see [Telemetry Services](/windows/privacy/manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services#1816-feedback--diagnostics).|
| Update | Windows Update ensures devices are kept up to date and secure by downloading the latest updates and security patches for Windows. This service also enables users download apps from the Microsoft Store and keep them up to date. Turning off Windows Update will potentially leave your Windows devices in a vulnerable state and more prone to security threats. <br/>Other services like Device metadata retrieval and Font streaming also ensure that the content on your devices is kept up to date. <br/>To turn off updates, see [Windows Update](/windows/privacy/manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services#29-windows-update), [Device Metadata Retrieval](/windows/privacy/manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services#4-device-metadata-retrieval), and [Font Streaming](/windows/privacy/manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services#6-font-streaming).|
| Microsoft Store | Microsoft Store enables users to purchase and download apps, games, and digital content. The Store also enables the developers of these apps to send toast, tile, badge, and raw updates from their own cloud service. This provides a mechanism to deliver new updates to store apps in a power-efficient and dependable way. The Store can also revoke malicious apps. <br/>To turn it off, see [Microsoft Store](/windows/privacy/manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services#26-microsoft-store).|
## Windows connected experiences
| **Connected experience** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
|Activity History|Activity History shows a history of activities a user has performed and can even synchronize activities across multiple devices for the same user. Synchronization across devices only works when a user signs in with the same account. <br/>To turn it off, see [Activity History](manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services.md#1822-activity-history). |

| Windows Search | Windows Search lets users use the search box on the taskbar to find what they are looking for, whether it’s on their device, in the cloud, or on the web. Windows Search can provide results for items from the device (including apps, settings, and files), the users account (including OneDrive, SharePoint, and other Microsoft services), and the internet. <br/>To turn it off, see [Windows Search](/windows/privacy/manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services#2-cortana-and-search). |
| Windows Spotlight | Windows Spotlight displays new background images on the lock screen each day. Additionally, it provides feature suggestions, fun facts, and tips on the lock screen background. <br/>Administrators can turn off Windows Spotlight features to prevent users from using the Windows Spotlight background. <br/>To turn it off, see [Windows Spotlight](/windows/privacy/manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services#25-windows-spotlight). |
## Microsoft Edge essential services and connected experiences
Windows ships with Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer on Windows devices. Microsoft Edge is the default browser and is recommended for the best web browsing experience.</br> You can find details on all of Microsoft Edge's connected experiences and essential services [here](/microsoft-edge/privacy-whitepaper). To turn off specific Microsoft Edge feature, see [Microsoft Edge](manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services.md#13-microsoft-edge).
## IE essential services and connected experiences
Internet Explorer shares many of the Windows essential services listed above. The following table provides more details on the essential services and connected experiences specific to Internet Explorer.
> [!NOTE]
> Apart from ActiveX Filtering, which is an essential service, all other features listed below are connected experiences.</br> To turn off specific connected experiences, see [Internet Explorer](manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services.md#8-internet-explorer).
| **Connected experience** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
|ActiveX Filtering|ActiveX controls are small apps that allow websites to provide content such as videos and games, and let users interact with controls like toolbars and stock tickers. However, these apps can sometimes malfunction, and in some cases, they might be used to collect information from user devices, install software without a user's agreement, or be used to control a device remotely without a user's permission.</br> ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer prevents sites from installing and using these apps which, can help keep users safer as they browse, but it can also affect the user experience of certain sites as interactive content might not work when ActiveX Filtering is on. <br/>Note: To further enhance security, Internet Explorer also allows you to block out-of-date ActiveX controls. |
|Suggested Sites|Suggested Sites is an online experience that recommends websites, images, or videos a user might be interested in. When Suggested Sites is turned on, a user’s web browsing history is periodically sent to Microsoft.|
| Address Bar and Search suggestions | With search suggestions enabled, users will be offered suggested search terms as they type in the Address Bar. As users type information, it will be sent to the default search provider. |
| Auto-complete feature for web addresses | The auto-complete feature suggests possible matches when users are typing web addresses in the browser address bar. |
| Compatibility logging | This feature is designed for use by developers and IT professionals to determine the compatibility of their websites with Internet Explorer. It is disabled by default and needs to be enabled to start logging Internet Explorer events in the Windows Event Viewer. These events describe failures that might have happened on the site and can include information about specific controls and webpages that failed. |
| Compatibility View | Compatibility View helps make websites designed for older browsers look better when viewed in Internet Explorer. The compatibility view setting allows you to choose whether an employee can fix website display problems they encounter while browsing. |
| Flip ahead | Flip ahead enables users to flip through web content quickly by swiping across the page or by clicking forward. When flip ahead is turned on, web browsing history is periodically sent to Microsoft. If you turn off this setting, users will no longer be able swipe across a screen or click forward to go to the next pre-loaded page of a website. |
| Web Slices | A Web Slice enables users to subscribe to and automatically receive updates to content directly within a web page. Disabling the RSS Feeds setting will turn off background synchronization for feeds and Web Slices. |
| Accelerators | Accelerators are menu options in Internet Explorer that help automate common browser-related tasks. In Internet Explorer, when you right-click selected text, Accelerators appear in the list of available options. <br/>For example, if you select a word, you can use the "Translate with Bing" Accelerator to obtain a translation of that word. |
| Pinning websites to Start | When a user pins a website to the Start menu, it displays as a tile similar to the way apps are displayed. Like Microsoft Store apps, website tiles might display updates if the website has been designed to do so. For example, an online email website might send updates to the tile indicating how many new messages a user has. |

#### _2.3.2 Managing connections from Windows components to Microsoft services_
#### _2.3.2 Managing Windows connected experiences and essential services_
Administrators can manage the data sent from their organization to Microsoft by configuring settings associated with the functionality provided by Windows components.
Windows includes features that connect to the internet to provide enhanced experiences and additional service-based capabilities. These features are called connected experiences. For example, Microsoft Defender Antivirus is a connected experience that delivers updated protection to keep the devices in your organization secure.
For more details, see [Manage connections from Windows operating system components to Microsoft services](manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services.md). This topic includes the different methods available on how to configure each setting, the impact to functionality, and which versions of Windows that are applicable.
Essential services are services in the product that connect to Microsoft to keep the product secure, up to date and performing as expected, or are integral to how the product works. For example, the licensing service that confirms that you’re properly licensed to use Windows.
#### _2.3.3 Managing Windows connections_
[Windows essential services and connected experiences](essential-services-and-connected-experiences.md) provides a list of the most common Windows essential services and connected experiences.
Some Windows components, apps, and related services transfer data to Microsoft network endpoints. An administrator may want to block these endpoints for their organization to meet their specific compliance objectives.
When a connected experience is used, data is sent to and processed by Microsoft to provide that connected experience. Administrators can manage the data sent from their organization to Microsoft by configuring settings that are associated with the functionality provided by Windows connected experiences and essential services. For more information, see [Manage connections from Windows operating system components to Microsoft services](manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services.md). This article includes the different methods available to configure each setting, the impact to functionality, and the versions of Windows that are applicable.
The **Manage Windows connection endpoints** section on the left-hand navigation menu provides a list of endpoints for the latest Windows releases, along with descriptions of any functionality that would be impacted by restricting data collection.
The article [Manage connection endpoints for Windows 11 Enterprise](manage-windows-11-endpoints.md) provides a list of endpoints to which data is transferred by Windows connected experiences for the latest Windows release, along with descriptions of any functionality that would be impacted by restricting data collection.
#### _2.3.4 Limited functionality baseline_
#### _2.3.3 Limited functionality baseline_
An organization may want to minimize the amount of data sent back to Microsoft or shared with Microsoft apps by managing the connections and configuring additional settings on their devices. Similar to [Windows security baselines](/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-security-baselines), Microsoft has released a limited functionality baseline focused on configuring settings to minimize the data sent back to Microsoft. However, the functionality of the device could be impacted by applying these settings. The [Manage connections from Windows operating system components to Microsoft services](manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services.md) article provides details on how to apply the baseline, along with the full list of settings covered in the baseline and the functionality that would be impacted. Administrators that don’t want to apply the baseline can still find details on how to configure each setting individually to find the right balance between data sharing and impact to functionality for their organization.

#### _2.3.4 Diagnostic data: Managing notifications for change of level at logon_
Starting with Windows 10, version 1803 and Windows 11, if an administrator modifies the diagnostic data collection setting, users are notified of this change during the initial device sign in. For example, if you configure the device to send optional diagnostic data, users will be notified the next time they sign into the device. You can disable these notifications by using the Group Policy: **Computer Configuration** > **Administrative Templates** > **Windows Components** > **Data Collection and Preview Builds** > **Configure telemetry opt-in change notifications** or the MDM policy `ConfigureTelemetryOptInChangeNotification`.

Windows 10, version 1803 and later and Windows 11 allows users to change their diagnostic data level to a lower setting than what their administrator has set. For example, if you have configured the device to send optional diagnostic data, a user can change the setting so that only required diagnostic data is sent by opening the Settings app in Windows. Administrators can restrict a user’s ability to change the setting by enabling the Group Policy: **Computer Configuration** > **Administrative Templates** > **Windows Components** > **Data Collection and Preview Builds** > **Configure telemetry opt-in setting user interface** or the MDM policy `ConfigureTelemetryOptInSettingsUx`.

Imagine that someone is looking over your shoulder as you get money from an ATM and sees the PIN that you enter. Having that PIN won't help them access your account because they don't have your ATM card. In the same way, learning your PIN for your device doesn't allow that attacker to access your account because the PIN is local to your specific device and doesn't enable any type of authentication from any other device.

## How Windows Hello for Business works: key points
- Windows Hello credentials are based on certificate or asymmetrical key pair. Windows Hello credentials can be bound to the device, and the token that is obtained using the credential is also bound to the device.
- Identity provider (such as Active Directory, Azure AD, or a Microsoft account) validates user identity and maps the Windows Hello public key to a user account during the registration step.
- Keys can be generated in hardware (TPM 1.2 or 2.0 for enterprises, and TPM 2.0 for consumers) or software, based on the policy.
- Authentication is the two-factor authentication with the combination of a key or certificate tied to a device and something that the person knows (a PIN) or something that the person is (biometrics). The Windows Hello gesture does not roam between devices and is not shared with the server. Biometrics templates are stored locally on a device. The PIN is never stored or shared.
- The private key never leaves a device when using TPM. The authenticating server has a public key that is mapped to the user account during the registration process.
- PIN entry and biometric gesture both trigger Windows 10 to use the private key to cryptographically sign data that is sent to the identity provider. The identity provider verifies the user's identity and authenticates the user.
- Personal (Microsoft account) and corporate (Active Directory or Azure AD) accounts use a single container for keys. All keys are separated by identity providers' domains to help ensure user privacy.
- Certificate private keys can be protected by the Windows Hello container and the Windows Hello gesture.

More information will be available on Windows Hello for Business cloud trust once it is generally available.
The key trust type does not require issuing authentication certificates to end users. Users authenticate using a hardware-bound key created during the built-in provisioning experience. This requires an adequate distribution of Windows Server 2016 or later domain controllers relative to your existing authentication and the number of users included in your Windows Hello for Business deployment. Read the [Planning an adequate number of Windows Server 2016 or later Domain Controllers for Windows Hello for Business deployments](hello-adequate-domain-controllers.md) to learn more.
The certificate trust type issues authentication certificates to end users. Users authenticate using a certificate requested using a hardware-bound key created during the built-in provisioning experience. Unlike key trust, certificate trust does not require Windows Server 2016 domain controllers (but still requires [Windows Server 2016 or later Active Directory schema](./hello-hybrid-cert-trust-prereqs.md#directories)). Users can use their certificate to authenticate to any Windows Server 2008 R2, or later, domain controller.
