-# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for IT Pros
-
->Applies to: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> You've reached the documentation for Microsoft Edge version 45 and earlier. To see the documentation for Microsoft Edge version 77 or later, go to the [Microsoft Edge documentation landing page](https://docs.microsoft.com/DeployEdge/).
-
-## How can I get the next major version of Microsoft Edge, based on Chromium?
-In December 2018, Microsoft [announced](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/12/06/microsoft-edge-making-the-web-better-through-more-open-source-collaboration/#8jv53blDvL6TIKuS.97) our intention to adopt the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop, to create better web compatibility for our customers and less fragmentation of the web for all web developers. You can get more information at the [Microsoft Edge Insiders site](https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/).
-
-## What’s the difference between Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11? How do I know which one to use?
-Microsoft Edge is the default browser for all Windows 10 devices. It’s built to be highly compatible with the modern web. For some enterprise web apps and a small set of sites that were built to work with older technologies like ActiveX, [you can use Enterprise Mode](emie-to-improve-compatibility.md) to automatically send users to Internet Explorer 11.
-
-For more information on how Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge work together to support your legacy web apps, while still defaulting to the higher security and modern experiences enabled by Microsoft Edge, see [Legacy apps in the enterprise](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/04/07/legacy-web-apps-enterprise/#RAbtRvJSYFaKu2BI.97).
-
-## Does Microsoft Edge work with Enterprise Mode?
-[Enterprise Mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/internet-explorer/ie11-deploy-guide/enterprise-mode-overview-for-ie11) helps you run many legacy web applications with better backward compatibility. You can configure both Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer to use the same Enterprise Mode Site List, switching seamlessly between browsers to support both modern and legacy web apps.
-
-## How do I customize Microsoft Edge and related settings for my organization?
-You can use Group Policy or Microsoft Intune to manage settings related to Microsoft Edge, such as security settings, folder redirection, and preferences. See [Group Policy and Mobile Device Management (MDM) settings for Microsoft Edge](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/deploy/group-policies/) for a list of policies currently available for Microsoft Edge and configuration information. Note that the preview release of Chromium-based Microsoft Edge might not include management policies or other enterprise functionality; our focus during the preview is modern browser fundamentals.
-
-## Is Adobe Flash supported in Microsoft Edge?
-Adobe Flash is currently supported as a built-in feature of Microsoft Edge on PCs running Windows 10. In July 2017, Adobe announced that Flash support will end after 2020. With this change to Adobe support, we’ve started to phase Flash out of Microsoft Edge by adding the [Configure the Adobe Flash Click-to-Run setting group policy](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/deploy/available-policies#configure-the-adobe-flash-click-to-run-setting) - this lets you control which websites can run Adobe Flash content.
-
-To learn more about Microsoft’s plan for phasing Flash out of Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer, see [The End of an Era — Next Steps for Adobe Flash](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/07/25/flash-on-windows-timeline/#3Bcc3QjRw0l7XsZ4.97) (blog article).
-
-## Does Microsoft Edge support ActiveX controls or BHOs like Silverlight or Java?
-No. Microsoft Edge doesn’t support ActiveX controls and BHOs like Silverlight or Java. If you’re running web apps that use ActiveX controls, x-ua-compatible headers, or legacy document modes, you need to keep running them in IE11. IE11 offers additional security, manageability, performance, backward compatibility, and standards support.
-
-## How often will Microsoft Edge be updated?
-In Windows 10, we’re delivering Windows as a service, updated on a cadence driven by quality and the availability of new features. Microsoft Edge security updates are released every two to four weeks, while bigger feature updates are included in the Windows 10 releases on a semi-annual cadence.
-
-## How can I provide feedback on Microsoft Edge?
-Microsoft Edge is an evergreen browser - we’ll continue to evolve both the web platform and the user interface with regular updates. To send feedback on user experience, or on broken or malicious sites, use the **Send Feedback** option under the ellipses icon (**...**) in the Microsoft Edge toolbar.
-
-## Will Internet Explorer 11 continue to receive updates?
-We’re committed to keeping Internet Explorer a supported, reliable, and safe browser. Internet Explorer is still a component of Windows and follows the support lifecycle of the OS on which it’s installed. For details, see [Lifecycle FAQ - Internet Explorer](https://support.microsoft.com/help/17454/). While we continue to support and update Internet Explorer, the latest features and platform updates will only be available in Microsoft Edge.
-
-## How do I find out what version of Microsoft Edge I have?
-In the upper right corner of Microsoft Edge, click the ellipses icon (**...**), and then click **Settings**. Look in the **About Microsoft Edge** section to find your version.
-
-## What is Microsoft EdgeHTML?
-Microsoft EdgeHTML is the web rendering engine that powers the current Microsoft Edge web browser and Windows 10 web app platform. (As opposed to *Microsoft Edge, based on Chromium*.)

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting applies to applications using the CredSSP component (for example: Remote Desktop Connection).
+
+Some versions of the CredSSP protocol are vulnerable to an encryption oracle attack against the client. This policy controls compatibility with vulnerable clients and servers. This policy allows you to set the level of protection desired for the encryption oracle vulnerability.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, CredSSP version support will be selected based on the following options:
+
+- Force Updated Clients: Client applications which use CredSSP will not be able to fall back to the insecure versions and services using CredSSP will not accept unpatched clients.
+
+ > [!NOTE]
+ > This setting should not be deployed until all remote hosts support the newest version.
+
+- Mitigated: Client applications which use CredSSP will not be able to fall back to the insecure version but services using CredSSP will accept unpatched clients. See the link below for important information about the risk posed by remaining unpatched clients.
+
+- Vulnerable: Client applications which use CredSSP will expose the remote servers to attacks by supporting fall back to the insecure versions and services using CredSSP will accept unpatched clients.
+
+For more information about the vulnerability and servicing requirements for protection, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=866660

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. When running in Restricted Admin or Remote Credential Guard mode, participating apps do not expose signed in or supplied credentials to a remote host. Restricted Admin limits access to resources located on other servers or networks from the remote host because credentials are not delegated. Remote Credential Guard does not limit access to resources because it redirects all requests back to the client device.

+Participating apps:
+Remote Desktop Client
+
+If you enable this policy setting, the following options are supported:
+
+- Restrict credential delegation: Participating applications must use Restricted Admin or Remote Credential Guard to connect to remote hosts.
+- Require Remote Credential Guard: Participating applications must use Remote Credential Guard to connect to remote hosts.
+- Require Restricted Admin: Participating applications must use Restricted Admin to connect to remote hosts.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Restricted Admin and Remote Credential Guard mode are not enforced and participating apps can delegate credentials to remote devices.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> To disable most credential delegation, it may be sufficient to deny delegation in Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP) by modifying Administrative template settings (located at Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Credentials Delegation).
+>
+> On Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2, enabling this policy will enforce Restricted Administration mode, regardless of the mode chosen. These versions do not support Remote Credential Guard.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting allows you to specify the order in which Windows searches source locations for device drivers.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, you can select whether Windows searches for drivers on Windows Update unconditionally, only if necessary, or not at all.
+
+Note that searching always implies that Windows will attempt to search Windows Update exactly one time. With this setting, Windows will not continually search for updates. This setting is used to ensure that the best software will be found for the device, even if the network is temporarily available. If the setting for searching only if needed is specified, then Windows will search for a driver only if a driver is not locally available on the system.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, members of the Administrators group can determine the priority order in which Windows searches source locations for device drivers.

Errors that are generated by applications in this list are not reported, even if the Default Application Reporting Settings policy setting is configured to report all application errors.
+
+If this policy setting is enabled, the Exclude errors for applications on this list setting takes precedence. If an application is listed both in the List of applications to always report errors for policy setting, and in the exclusion list in this policy setting, the application is excluded from error reporting. You can also use the exclusion list in this policy setting to exclude specific Microsoft applications or parts of Windows if the check boxes for these categories are filled in the Default application reporting settings policy setting.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the Default application reporting settings policy setting takes precedence.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting specifies applications for which Windows Error Reporting should always report errors.
+
+To create a list of applications for which Windows Error Reporting never reports errors, click Show under the Exclude errors for applications on this list setting, and then add or remove applications from the list of application file names in the Show Contents dialog box (example: notepad.exe). Errors that are generated by applications in this list are not reported, even if the Default Application Reporting Settings policy setting is configured to report all application errors.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, you can create a list of applications that are always included in error reporting. To add applications to the list, click Show under the Report errors for applications on this list setting, and edit the list of application file names in the Show Contents dialog box. The file names must include the .exe file name extension (for example, notepad.exe). Errors that are generated by applications on this list are always reported, even if the Default dropdown in the Default application reporting policy setting is set to report no application errors.
+
+If the Report all errors in Microsoft applications or Report all errors in Windows components check boxes in the Default Application Reporting policy setting are filled, Windows Error Reporting reports errors as if all applications in these categories were added to the list in this policy setting. (Note: The Microsoft applications category includes the Windows components category.)
+
+If you disable this policy setting or do not configure it, the Default application reporting settings policy setting takes precedence.
+
+Also see the "Default Application Reporting" and "Application Exclusion List" policies.
+
+This setting will be ignored if the 'Configure Error Reporting' setting is disabled or not configured.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting configures how errors are reported to Microsoft, and what information is sent when Windows Error Reporting is enabled.
+
+This policy setting does not enable or disable Windows Error Reporting. To turn Windows Error Reporting on or off, see the Turn off Windows Error Reporting policy setting in Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Internet Communication Management/Internet Communication settings.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> If the Turn off Windows Error Reporting policy setting is not configured, then Control Panel settings for Windows Error Reporting override this policy setting.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, the setting overrides any user changes made to Windows Error Reporting settings in Control Panel, and default values are applied for any Windows Error Reporting policy settings that are not configured (even if users have changed settings by using Control Panel). If you enable this policy setting, you can configure the following settings in the policy setting:
+
+- "Do not display links to any Microsoft ‘More information’ websites": Select this option if you do not want error dialog boxes to display links to Microsoft websites.
+
+- "Do not collect additional files": Select this option if you do not want additional files to be collected and included in error reports.
+
+- "Do not collect additional computer data": Select this if you do not want additional information about the computer to be collected and included in error reports.
+
+- "Force queue mode for application errors": Select this option if you do not want users to report errors. When this option is selected, errors are stored in a queue directory, and the next administrator to log on to the computer can send the error reports to Microsoft.
+
+- "Corporate file path": Type a UNC path to enable Corporate Error Reporting. All errors are stored at the specified location instead of being sent directly to Microsoft, and the next administrator to log onto the computer can send the error reports to Microsoft.
+
+- "Replace instances of the word ‘Microsoft’ with": You can specify text with which to customize your error report dialog boxes. The word ""Microsoft"" is replaced with the specified text.
+
+If you do not configure this policy setting, users can change Windows Error Reporting settings in Control Panel. By default, these settings are Enable Reporting on computers that are running Windows XP, and Report to Queue on computers that are running Windows Server 2003.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, configuration settings in the policy setting are left blank.
+
+See related policy settings Display Error Notification (same folder as this policy setting), and Turn off Windows Error Reporting in Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Internet Communication Management/Internet Communication settings.

+
+If you enable this policy setting, you can add specific event types to a list by clicking Show, and typing event types in the Value Name column of the Show Contents dialog box. Event types are those for generic, non-fatal errors: crash, no response, and kernel fault errors. For each specified event type, you can set a consent level of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
+
+- 0 (Disable): Windows Error Reporting sends no data to Microsoft for this event type.
+
+- 1 (Always ask before sending data): Windows prompts the user for consent to send reports.
+
+- 2 (Send parameters): Windows Error Reporting automatically sends the minimum data required to check for an existing solution, and Windows prompts the user for consent to send any additional data requested by Microsoft.
+
+- 3 (Send parameters and safe additional data): Windows Error Reporting automatically sends the minimum data required to check for an existing solution, as well as data which Windows has determined (within a high probability) does not contain personally identifiable data, and prompts the user for consent to send any additional data requested by Microsoft.
+
+- 4 (Send all data): Any data requested by Microsoft is sent automatically.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, then the default consent settings that are applied are those specified by the user in Control Panel, or in the Configure Default Consent policy setting.

Definition retirement checks to see if a computer has the required security updates necessary to protect it against a particular vulnerability. If the system is not vulnerable to the exploit detected by a definition, then that definition is "retired". If all security intelligence for a given protocol are retired then that protocol is no longer parsed. Enabling this feature helps to improve performance. On a computer that is up-to-date with all the latest security updates, network protection will have no impact on network performance.

+
+You can choose to send basic or additional information about detected software. Additional information helps Microsoft create new security intelligence and help it to protect your computer. This information can include things like location of detected items on your computer if harmful software was removed. The information will be automatically collected and sent. In some instances, personal information might unintentionally be sent to Microsoft. However, Microsoft will not use this information to identify you or contact you.
+
+Possible options are:
+
+- (0x0) Disabled (default)
+- (0x1) Basic membership
+- (0x2) Advanced membership
+
+Basic membership will send basic information to Microsoft about software that has been detected, including where the software came from, the actions that you apply or that are applied automatically, and whether the actions were successful.
+
+Advanced membership, in addition to basic information, will send more information to Microsoft about malicious software, spyware, and potentially unwanted software, including the location of the software, file names, how the software operates, and how it has impacted your computer.
+
+If you enable this setting, you will join Microsoft MAPS with the membership specified.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this setting, you will not join Microsoft MAPS.
+
+In Windows 10, Basic membership is no longer available, so setting the value to 1 or 2 enrolls the device into Advanced membership.

+# Use Quick Assist to help users
+
+Quick Assist is a Windows 10 application that enables a person to share their device with another person over a remote connection. Your support staff can use it to remotely connect to a user’s device and then view its display, make annotations, or take full control. In this way, they can troubleshoot, diagnose technological issues, and provide instructions to users directly on their devices.
+
+## Before you begin
+
+All that's required to use Quick Assist is suitable network and internet connectivity. No particular roles, permissions, or policies are involved. Neither party needs to be in a domain. The helper must have a Microsoft account. The sharer doesn’t have to authenticate.
+
+### Authentication
+
+The helper can authenticate when they sign in by using a Microsoft Account (MSA) or Azure Active Directory. Local Active Directory authentication is not supported at this time.
+
+### Network considerations
+
+Quick Assist communicates over port 443 (https) and connects to the Remote Assistance Service at `https://remoteassistance.support.services.microsoft.com` by using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). The traffic is encrypted with TLS 1.2.
+
+Both the helper and sharer must be able to reach these endpoints over port 443:
+
+| Domain/Name | Description |
+|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
+| \*.support.services.microsoft.com | Primary endpoint used for Quick Assist application |
+| \*.resources.lync.com | Required for the Skype framework used by Quick Assist |
+| \*.infra.lync.com | Required for the Skype framework used by Quick Assist |
+| \*.latest-swx.cdn.skype.com | Required for the Skype framework used by Quick Assist |
+| \*.login.microsoftonline.com | Required for logging in to the application (MSA) |
+| \*.channelwebsdks.azureedge.net | Used for chat services within Quick Assist |
+| \*.aria.microsoft.com | Used for accessibility features within the app |
+| \*.api.support.microsoft.com | API access for Quick Assist |
+| \*.vortex.data.microsoft.com | Used for diagnostic data |
+| \*.channelservices.microsoft.com | Required for chat services within Quick Assist |
+
+## How it works
+
+1. Both the helper and the sharer start Quick Assist.
+
+2. The helper selects **Assist another person**. Quick Assist on the helper's side contacts the Remote Assistance Service to obtain a session code. An RCC chat session is established and the helper's Quick Assist instance joins it. The helper then provides the code to the sharer.
+
+3. After the sharer enters the code in their Quick Assist app, Quick Assist uses that code to contact the Remote Assistance Service and join that specific session. The sharer's Quick Assist instance joins the RCC chat session.
+
+4. The helper is prompted to select **View Only** or **Full Control**.
+
+5. The sharer is prompted to confirm allowing the helper to share their desktop with the helper.
+
+6. Quick Assist starts RDP control and connects to the RDP Relay service.
+
+7. RDP shares the video to the helper over https (port 443) through the RDP relay service to the helper's RDP control. Input is shared from the helper to the sharer through the RDP relay service.
+
+:::image type="content" source="images/quick-assist-flow.png" lightbox="images/quick-assist-flow.png" alt-text="Schematic flow of connections when a Quick Assist session is established":::
+
+### Data and privacy
+
+Microsoft logs a small amount of session data to monitor the health of the Quick Assist system. This data includes the following information:
+
+- Start and end time of the session
+
+- Errors arising from Quick Assist itself, such as unexpected disconnections
+
+- Features used inside the app such as view only, annotation, and session pause
+
+No logs are created on either the helper’s or sharer’s device. Microsoft cannot access a session or view any actions or keystrokes that occur in the session.
+
+The sharer sees only an abbreviated version of the helper’s name (first name, last initial) and no other information about them. Microsoft does not store any data about either the sharer or the helper for longer than three days.
+
+In some scenarios, the helper does require the sharer to respond to application permission prompts (User Account Control), but otherwise the helper has the same permissions as the sharer on the device.
+
+## Working with Quick Assist
+
+Either the support staff or a user can start a Quick Assist session.
+
+
+1. Support staff (“helper”) starts Quick Assist in any of a few ways:
+
+ - Type *Quick Assist* in the search box and press ENTER.
+ - From the Start menu, select **Windows Accessories**, and then select **Quick Assist**.
+ - Type CTRL+Windows+Q
+
+2. In the **Give assistance** section, helper selects **Assist another person**. The helper might be asked to choose their account or sign in. Quick Assist generates a time-limited security code.
+
+3. Helper shares the security code with the user over the phone or with a messaging system.
+
+4. Quick Assist opens on the sharer’s device. The user enters the provided code in the **Code from assistant** box, and then selects **Share screen**.
+
+5. The helper receives a dialog offering the opportunity to take full control of the device or just view its screen. After choosing, the helper selects **Continue**.
+
+6. The sharer receives a dialog asking for permission to show their screen or allow access. The sharer gives permission by selecting the **Allow** button.
+
+## If Quick Assist is missing
+
+If for some reason a user doesn't have Quick Assist on their system or it's not working properly, they might need to uninstall and reinstall it.
+
+### Uninstall Quick Assist
+
+1. Start the Settings app, and then select **Apps**.
+2. Select **Optional features**.
+3. In the **Installed features** search bar, type *Quick Assist*.
+4. Select **Microsoft Quick Assist**, and then select **Uninstall**.
+
+### Reinstall Quick Assist
+
+1. Start the Settings app, and then select **Apps**.
+2. Select **Optional features**.
+3. Select **Add a feature**.
+4. In the new dialog that opens, in the **Add an optional feature** search bar, type *Quick Assist*.
+5. Select the check box for **Microsoft Quick Assist**, and then select **Install**.
+6. Restart the device.
+

-# Windows Hello for Business Frequently Asked Questions
-
-**Applies to**
-- Windows 10
-
-## What about virtual smart cards?
-Windows Hello for Business is the modern, two-factor credential for Windows 10. Microsoft will be deprecating virtual smart cards in the future, but no date is set at this time. Customers using Windows 10 and virtual smart cards should move to Windows Hello for Business. Microsoft will publish the date early to ensure customers have adequate lead time to move to Windows Hello for Business. Microsoft recommends new Windows 10 deployments to use Windows Hello for Business. Virtual smart card remain supported for Windows 7 and Windows 8.
-
-## What about convenience PIN?
-Microsoft is committed to its vision of a world without passwords. We recognize the *convenience* provided by convenience PIN, but it stills uses a password for authentication. Microsoft recommends customers using Windows 10 and convenience PINs should move to Windows Hello for Business. New Windows 10 deployments should deploy Windows Hello for Business and not convenience PINs. Microsoft will be deprecating convenience PINs in the future and will publish the date early to ensure customers have adequate lead time to deploy Windows Hello for Business.
-
-## Can I use Windows Hello for Business key trust and RDP?
-RDP currently does not support using key based authentication and self signed certificates as supplied credentials. RDP with supplied credentials Windows Hello for Business is currently only supported with certificate based deployments. Windows Hello for Business key trust can be used with [Windows Defender Remote Credential Guard](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/identity-protection/remote-credential-guard).
-
-## Can I deploy Windows Hello for Business using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager?
-Windows Hello for Business deployments using Configuration Manager should use the hybrid deployment model that uses Active Directory Federation Services. Starting in Configuration Manager version 1910, certificate-based authentication with Windows Hello for Business settings isn't supported. Key-based authentication is still valid with Configuration Manager. For more information, see [Windows Hello for Business settings in Configuration Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/configmgr/protect/deploy-use/windows-hello-for-business-settings).
-
-## How many users can enroll for Windows Hello for Business on a single Windows 10 computer?
-The maximum number of supported enrollments on a single Windows 10 computer is 10. That enables 10 users to each enroll their face and up to 10 fingerprints. While we support 10 enrollments, we will strongly encourage the use of Windows Hello security keys for the shared computer scenario when they become available.
-
-## How can a PIN be more secure than a password?
-When using Windows Hello for Business, the PIN is not a symmetric key where is the password is a symmetric key. With passwords, there is a server that has some representation of the password. With Windows Hello for Business, the PIN is user provided entropy used to load the private key in the TPM. The server does not have a copy of the PIN. For that matter, the Windows client does not have a copy of the current PIN either. The user must provide the entropy, the TPM protected key, and the TPM that generated that key to successfully have access to the private key.
-
-The statement "PIN is stronger than Password" is not directed at the strength of the entropy used by the PIN. It is about the difference of providing entropy vs continuing the use of a symmetric key (the password). The TPM has anti-hammering features which thwart brute-force PIN attacks (an attackers continuous attempt to try all combination of PINs). Some organizations may worry about shoulder surfing. For those organizations, rather than increased the complexity of the PIN, implement the [Multifactor Unlock](feature-multifactor-unlock.md) feature.
-
-## Why is the Key Admins group missing, I have Windows Server 2016 domain controller(s)?
-The **Key Admins** and **Enterprise Key Admins** groups are created when you install the first Windows Server 2016 domain controller into a domain. Domain controllers running previous versions of Windows Server cannot translate the security identifier (SID) to a name. To resolve this, transfer the PDC emulator domain role to a domain controller running Windows Server 2016.
-
-## Can I use a convenience PIN with Azure AD?
-It is currently possible to set a convenience PIN on Azure Active Directory Joined or Hybrid Active Directory Joined devices. Convenience PIN is not supported for Azure Active Directory user accounts (synchronized identities included). It is only supported for on-premises Domain Joined users and local account users.
-
-## Can I use an external camera when my laptop is closed or docked?
-No. Windows 10 currently only supports one Windows Hello for Business camera and does not fluidly switch to an external camera when the computer is docked with the lid closed. The product group is aware of this and is investigating this topic further.
-
-## Why does authentication fail immediately after provisioning Hybrid Key Trust?
-In a hybrid deployment, a user's public key must sync from Azure AD to AD before it can be used to authenticate against a domain controller. This sync is handled by Azure AD Connect and will occur during a normal sync cycle.
-
-## What is the password-less strategy?
-Watch Principal Program Manager Karanbir Singh's Ignite 2017 presentation **Microsoft's guide for going password-less**.
-
-[Microsoft's password-less strategy](hello-videos.md#microsofts-passwordless-strategy)
-
-## What is the user experience for Windows Hello for Business?
-The user experience for Windows Hello for Business occurs after user sign-in, after you deploy Windows Hello for Business policy settings to your environment.
-
-[Windows Hello for Business user enrollment experience](hello-videos.md#windows-hello-for-business-user-enrollment-experience)
-
-## What happens when my user forgets their PIN?
-If the user can sign-in with a password, they can reset their PIN by clicking the "I forgot my PIN" link in settings. Beginning with Windows 10 1709, users can reset their PIN above the lock screen by clicking the "I forgot my PIN" link on the PIN credential provider.
-
-[Windows Hello for Business forgotten PIN user experience](hello-videos.md#windows-hello-for-business-forgotten-pin-user-experience)
-
-For on-premises deployments, devices must be well-connected to their on-premises network (domain controllers and/or certificate authority) to reset their PINs. Hybrid customers can on-board their Azure tenant to use the Windows Hello for Business PIN reset service to reset their PINs without access to their corporate network.
-
-## What URLs do I need to allow for a hybrid deployment?
-Communicating with Azure Active Directory uses the following URLs:
-- enterpriseregistration.windows.net
-- login.microsoftonline.com
-- login.windows.net
-- account.live.com
-- accountalt.azureedge.net
-- secure.aadcdn.microsoftonline-p.com
-
-If your environment uses Microsoft Intune, you need these additional URLs:
-- enrollment.manage.microsoft.com
-- portal.manage.microsoft.com
-
-## What is the difference between non-destructive and destructive PIN reset?
-Windows Hello for Business has two types of PIN reset: non-destructive and destructive. Organizations running Windows 10 Enterprise and Azure Active Directory can take advantage of the Microsoft PIN Reset service. Once on-boarded to a tenant and deployed to computers, users who have forgotten their PINs can authenticate to Azure, provided a second factor of authentication, and reset their PIN without re-provisioning a new Windows Hello for Business enrollment. This is a non-destructive PIN reset because the user does not delete the current credential and obtain a new one. Read [PIN Reset](hello-feature-pin-reset.md) page for more information.
-
-Organizations that have the on-premises deployment of Windows Hello for Business, or those not using Windows 10 Enterprise can use destructive PIN reset. with destructive PIN reset, users that have forgotten their PIN can authenticate using their password, perform a second factor of authentication to re-provision their Windows Hello for Business credential. Re-provisioning deletes the old credential and requests a new credential and certificate. On-premises deployments need network connectivity to their domain controllers, Active Directory Federation Services, and their issuing certificate authority to perform a destructive PIN reset. Also, for hybrid deployments, destructive PIN reset is only supported with the certificate trust model and the latest updates to Active Directory Federation Services.
-
-## Which is better or more secure: Key trust or Certificate trust?
-The trust models of your deployment determine how you authenticate to Active Directory (on-premises). Both key trust and certificate trust use the same hardware-backed, two-factor credential. The difference between the two trust types are:
-- Required domain controllers
-- Issuing end entity certificates
-
-The **key trust** model authenticates to Active Directory using a raw key. Windows Server 2016 domain controllers enables this authentication. Key trust authenticate does not require an enterprise issued certificate, therefore you do not need to issue certificates to your end users (domain controller certificates are still needed).
-
-The **certificate trust** model authenticates to Active Directory using a certificate. Because this authentication uses a certificate, domain controllers running previous versions of Windows Server can authenticate the user. Therefore, you need to issue certificates to your end users, but you do not need Windows Server 2016 domain controllers. The certificate used in certificate trust uses the TPM protected private key to request a certificate from your enterprise's issuing certificate authority.
-
-## Do I need Windows Server 2016 domain controllers?
-There are many deployment options from which to choose. Some of those options require an adequate number of Windows Server 2016 domain controllers in the site where you have deployed Windows Hello for Business. There are other deployment options that use existing Windows Server 2008 R2 or later domain controllers. Choose the deployment option that best suits your environment.
-
-## What attributes are synchronized by Azure AD Connect with Windows Hello for Business?
-Review [Azure AD Connect sync: Attributes synchronized to Azure Active Directory](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized) for a list of attributes that are sync based on scenarios. The base scenarios that include Windows Hello for Business are [Windows 10](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized#windows-10) scenario and the [Device writeback](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized#device-writeback) scenario. Your environment may include additional attributes.
-
-## Is Windows Hello for Business multifactor authentication?
-Windows Hello for Business is two-factor authentication based on the observed authentication factors of: something you have, something you know, and something part of you. Windows Hello for Business incorporates two of these factors: something you have (the user's private key protected by the device's security module) and something you know (your PIN). With the proper hardware, you can enhance the user experience by introducing biometrics. Using biometrics, you can replace the "something you know" authentication factor with the "something that is part of you" factor, with the assurances that users can fall back to the "something you know factor".
-
-## What are the biometric requirements for Windows Hello for Business?
-Read [Windows Hello biometric requirements](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/windows-hello-biometric-requirements) for more information.
-
-## Can I use both a PIN and biometrics to unlock my device?
-Starting in Windows 10, version 1709, you can use multi-factor unlock to require the user to provide an additional factor to unlock the device. Authentication remains two-factor, but another factor is required before Windows allows the user to reach the desktop. Read more about [multifactor unlock](feature-multifactor-unlock.md).
-
-## What is the difference between Windows Hello and Windows Hello for Business?
-Windows Hello represents the biometric framework provided in Windows 10. Windows Hello enables users to use biometrics to sign into their devices by securely storing their user name and password and releasing it for authentication when the user successfully identifies themselves using biometrics. Windows Hello for Business uses asymmetric keys protected by the device's security module that requires a user gesture (PIN or biometrics) to authenticate.
-
-## Why can't I enroll biometrics for my local built-in Administrator?
-Windows 10 does not allow the local administrator to enroll biometric gestures (face or fingerprint).
-
-## I have extended Active Directory to Azure Active Directory. Can I use the on-premises deployment model?
-No. If your organization is federated or using on-line services, such as Azure AD Connect, Office 365, or OneDrive, then you must use a hybrid deployment model. On-premises deployments are exclusive to organization who need more time before moving to the cloud and exclusively use Active Directory.
-
-## Does Windows Hello for Business prevent the use of simple PINs?
-Yes. Our simple PIN algorithm looks for and disallows any PIN that has a constant delta from one digit to the next. The algorithm counts the number of steps required to reach the next digit, overflowing at ten ('zero').
-So, for example:
-* The PIN 1111 has a constant delta of (0,0,0), so it is not allowed
-* The PIN 1234 has a constant delta of (1,1,1), so it is not allowed
-* The PIN 1357 has a constant delta of (2,2,2), so it is not allowed
-* The PIN 9630 has a constant delta of (7,7,7), so it is not allowed
-* The PIN 1593 has a constant delta of (4,4,4), so it is not allowed
-* The PIN 7036 has a constant delta of (3,3,3), so it is not allowed
-* The PIN 1231 does not have a constant delta (1,1,8), so it is allowed
-* The PIN 1872 does not have a constant delta (7,9,5), so it is allowed
-
-This prevents repeating numbers, sequential numbers, and simple patterns.
-It always results in a list of 100 disallowed PINs (independent of the PIN length).
-This algorithm does not apply to alphanumeric PINs.
-
-## How does PIN caching work with Windows Hello for Business?
-
-Windows Hello for Business provides a PIN caching user experience using a ticketing system. Rather than caching a PIN, processes cache a ticket they can use to request private key operations. Azure AD and Active Directory sign-in keys are cached under lock. This means the keys remain available for use without prompting as long as the user is interactively signed-in. Microsoft Account sign-in keys are considered transactional keys, which means the user is always prompted when accessing the key.
-
-Beginning with Windows 10, version 1709, Windows Hello for Business used as a smart card (smart card emulation that is enabled by default) provides the same user experience of default smart card PIN caching. Each process requesting a private key operation will prompt the user for the PIN on first use. Subsequent private key operations will not prompt the user for the PIN.
-
-The smart card emulation feature of Windows Hello for Business verifies the PIN and then discards the PIN in exchange for a ticket. The process does not receive the PIN, but rather the ticket that grants them private key operations. Windows 10 does not provide any Group Policy settings to adjust this caching.
-
-## Can I disable the PIN while using Windows Hello for Business?
-No. The movement away from passwords is accomplished by gradually reducing the use of the password. In the occurrence where you cannot authenticate with biometrics, you need a fallback mechanism that is not a password. The PIN is the fallback mechanism. Disabling or hiding the PIN credential provider will disable the use of biometrics.
-
-## How are keys protected?
-Wherever possible, Windows Hello for Business takes advantage of trusted platform module (TPM) 2.0 hardware to generate and protect keys. However, Windows Hello and Windows Hello for Business does not require a TPM. Administrators can choose to allow key operations in software.
-
-Whenever possible, Microsoft strongly recommends the use of TPM hardware. The TPM protects against a variety of known and potential attacks, including PIN brute-force attacks. The TPM provides an additional layer of protection after an account lockout, too. When the TPM has locked the key material, the user will have to reset the PIN (which means he or she will have to use MFA to re-authenticate to the IDP before the IDP allows him or her to re-register).
-
-## Can Windows Hello for Business work in air-gapped environments?
-Yes. You can use the on-premises Windows Hello for Business deployment and combine it with a third-party MFA provider that does not require Internet connectivity to achieve an air-gapped Windows Hello for Business deployment.
-
-## Can I use third-party authentication providers with Windows Hello for Business?
-Yes, if you are federated hybrid deployment, you can use any third-party that provides an Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) multi-factor authentication adapter. A list of third-party MFA adapters can be found [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/operations/configure-additional-authentication-methods-for-ad-fs#microsoft-and-third-party-additional-authentication-methods).
-
-## Does Windows Hello for Business work with third party federation servers?
-Windows Hello for Business can work with any third-party federation servers that support the protocols used during provisioning experience. Interested third-parties can inquiry at [whfbfeedback@microsoft.com](mailto:whfbfeedback@microsoft.com?subject=collaboration).

+summary: |
+ Applies to: Windows 10
+

+sections:
+ - name: Ignored
+ questions:
+ - question: What about virtual smart cards?
+ answer: |
+ Windows Hello for Business is the modern, two-factor credential for Windows 10. Microsoft will be deprecating virtual smart cards in the future, but no date is set at this time. Customers using Windows 10 and virtual smart cards should move to Windows Hello for Business. Microsoft will publish the date early to ensure customers have adequate lead time to move to Windows Hello for Business. Microsoft recommends that new Windows 10 deployments use Windows Hello for Business. Virtual smart card remain supported for Windows 7 and Windows 8.
+
+ - question: What about convenience PIN?
+ answer: |
+ Microsoft is committed to its vision of a world without passwords. We recognize the *convenience* provided by convenience PIN, but it stills uses a password for authentication. Microsoft recommends that customers using Windows 10 and convenience PINs should move to Windows Hello for Business. New Windows 10 deployments should deploy Windows Hello for Business and not convenience PINs. Microsoft will be deprecating convenience PINs in the future and will publish the date early to ensure customers have adequate lead time to deploy Windows Hello for Business.
+
+ - question: Can I use Windows Hello for Business key trust and RDP?
+ answer: |
+ Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) does not currently support using key-based authentication and self-signed certificates as supplied credentials. RDP with supplied credentials is currently only supported with certificate-based deployments. Windows Hello for Business key trust can be used with [Windows Defender Remote Credential Guard](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/identity-protection/remote-credential-guard).
+
+ - question: Can I deploy Windows Hello for Business by using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager?
+ answer: |
+ Windows Hello for Business deployments using Configuration Manager should follow the hybrid deployment model that uses Active Directory Federation Services. Starting in Configuration Manager version 1910, certificate-based authentication with Windows Hello for Business settings isn't supported. Key-based authentication is still valid with Configuration Manager. For more information, see [Windows Hello for Business settings in Configuration Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/configmgr/protect/deploy-use/windows-hello-for-business-settings).
+
+ - question: How many users can enroll for Windows Hello for Business on a single Windows 10 computer?
+ answer: |
+ The maximum number of supported enrollments on a single Windows 10 computer is 10. This lets 10 users each enroll their face and up to 10 fingerprints. While we support 10 enrollments, we will strongly encourage the use of Windows Hello security keys for the shared computer scenario when they become available.
+
+ - question: How can a PIN be more secure than a password?
+ answer: |
+ When using Windows Hello for Business, the PIN is not a symmetric key, whereas the password is a symmetric key. With passwords, there's a server that has some representation of the password. With Windows Hello for Business, the PIN is user-provided entropy used to load the private key in the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). The server does not have a copy of the PIN. For that matter, the Windows client does not have a copy of the current PIN either. The user must provide the entropy, the TPM-protected key, and the TPM that generated that key in order to successfully access the private key.
+
+ The statement "PIN is stronger than Password" is not directed at the strength of the entropy used by the PIN. It's about the difference between providing entropy versus continuing the use of a symmetric key (the password). The TPM has anti-hammering features that thwart brute-force PIN attacks (an attacker's continuous attempt to try all combination of PINs). Some organizations may worry about shoulder surfing. For those organizations, rather than increase the complexity of the PIN, implement the [Multifactor Unlock](feature-multifactor-unlock.md) feature.
+
+ - question: I have Windows Server 2016 domain controller(s), so why is the Key Admins group missing?
+ answer: |
+ The **Key Admins** and **Enterprise Key Admins** groups are created when you install the first Windows Server 2016 domain controller into a domain. Domain controllers running previous versions of Windows Server cannot translate the security identifier (SID) to a name. To resolve this, transfer the PDC emulator domain role to a domain controller running Windows Server 2016.
+
+ - question: Can I use a convenience PIN with Azure Active Directory?
+ answer: |
+ It's currently possible to set a convenience PIN on Azure Active Directory Joined or Hybrid Active Directory Joined devices. Convenience PIN is not supported for Azure Active Directory user accounts (synchronized identities included). It's only supported for on-premises Domain Joined users and local account users.
+
+ - question: Can I use an external camera when my laptop is closed or docked?
+ answer: |
+ No. Windows 10 currently only supports one Windows Hello for Business camera and does not fluidly switch to an external camera when the computer is docked with the lid closed. The product group is aware of this and is investigating this topic further.
+
+ - question: Why does authentication fail immediately after provisioning hybrid key trust?
+ answer: |
+ In a hybrid deployment, a user's public key must sync from Azure AD to AD before it can be used to authenticate against a domain controller. This sync is handled by Azure AD Connect and will occur during a normal sync cycle.
+
+ - question: What is the password-less strategy?
+ answer: |
+ Watch Principal Program Manager Karanbir Singh's **Microsoft's guide for going password-less** Ignite 2017 presentation.
+
+ [Microsoft's password-less strategy](hello-videos.md#microsofts-passwordless-strategy)
+
+ - question: What is the user experience for Windows Hello for Business?
+ answer: |
+ The user experience for Windows Hello for Business occurs after user sign-in, after you deploy Windows Hello for Business policy settings to your environment.
+
+ [Windows Hello for Business user enrollment experience](hello-videos.md#windows-hello-for-business-user-enrollment-experience)
+
+ - question: What happens when a user forgets their PIN?
+ answer: |
+ If the user can sign-in with a password, they can reset their PIN by selecting the "I forgot my PIN" link in Settings. Beginning with Windows 10 1709, users can reset their PIN above the lock screen by selecting the "I forgot my PIN" link on the PIN credential provider.
+
+ [Windows Hello for Business forgotten PIN user experience](hello-videos.md#windows-hello-for-business-forgotten-pin-user-experience)
+
+ For on-premises deployments, devices must be well-connected to their on-premises network (domain controllers and/or certificate authority) to reset their PINs. Hybrid customers can on-board their Azure tenant to use the Windows Hello for Business PIN reset service to reset their PINs without access to their corporate network.
+
+ - question: What URLs do I need to allow for a hybrid deployment?
+ answer: |
+ Communicating with Azure Active Directory uses the following URLs:
+ - enterpriseregistration.windows.net
+ - login.microsoftonline.com
+ - login.windows.net
+ - account.live.com
+ - accountalt.azureedge.net
+ - secure.aadcdn.microsoftonline-p.com
+
+ If your environment uses Microsoft Intune, you need these additional URLs:
+ - enrollment.manage.microsoft.com
+ - portal.manage.microsoft.com
+
+ - question: What's the difference between non-destructive and destructive PIN reset?
+ answer: |
+ Windows Hello for Business has two types of PIN reset: non-destructive and destructive. Organizations running Windows 10 Enterprise and Azure Active Directory can take advantage of the Microsoft PIN Reset service. Once onboarded to a tenant and deployed to computers, users who have forgotten their PINs can authenticate to Azure, provide a second factor of authentication, and reset their PIN without re-provisioning a new Windows Hello for Business enrollment. This is a non-destructive PIN reset because the user doesn't delete the current credential and obtain a new one. For more information, see [PIN Reset](hello-feature-pin-reset.md).
+
+ Organizations that have the on-premises deployment of Windows Hello for Business, or those not using Windows 10 Enterprise can use destructive PIN reset. With destructive PIN reset, users that have forgotten their PIN can authenticate by using their password and then performing a second factor of authentication to re-provision their Windows Hello for Business credential. Re-provisioning deletes the old credential and requests a new credential and certificate. On-premises deployments need network connectivity to their domain controllers, Active Directory Federation Services, and their issuing certificate authority to perform a destructive PIN reset. Also, for hybrid deployments, destructive PIN reset is only supported with the certificate trust model and the latest updates to Active Directory Federation Services.
+
+ - question: |
+ Which is better or more secure: key trust or certificate trust?
+ answer: |
+ The trust models of your deployment determine how you authenticate to Active Directory (on-premises). Both key trust and certificate trust use the same hardware-backed, two-factor credential. The difference between the two trust types are:
+ - Required domain controllers
+ - Issuing end entity certificates
+
+ The **key trust** model authenticates to Active Directory by using a raw key. Windows Server 2016 domain controllers enable this authentication. Key trust authenticate does not require an enterprise issued certificate, therefore you don't need to issue certificates to users (domain controller certificates are still needed).
+
+ The **certificate trust** model authenticates to Active Directory by using a certificate. Because this authentication uses a certificate, domain controllers running previous versions of Windows Server can authenticate the user. Therefore, you need to issue certificates to users, but you don't need Windows Server 2016 domain controllers. The certificate used in certificate trust uses the TPM-protected private key to request a certificate from your enterprise's issuing certificate authority.
+
+ - question: Do I need Windows Server 2016 domain controllers?
+ answer: |
+ There are many deployment options from which to choose. Some of those options require an adequate number of Windows Server 2016 domain controllers in the site where you've deployed Windows Hello for Business. There are other deployment options that use existing Windows Server 2008 R2 or later domain controllers. Choose the deployment option that best suits your environment.
+
+ - question: What attributes are synchronized by Azure AD Connect with Windows Hello for Business?
+ answer: |
+ Review [Azure AD Connect sync: Attributes synchronized to Azure Active Directory](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized) for a list of attributes that sync based on scenarios. The base scenarios that include Windows Hello for Business are the [Windows 10](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized#windows-10) scenario and the [Device writeback](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-attributes-synchronized#device-writeback) scenario. Your environment may include additional attributes.
+
+ - question: Is Windows Hello for Business multifactor authentication?
+ answer: |
+ Windows Hello for Business is two-factor authentication based on the observed authentication factors of: something you have, something you know, and something that's part of you. Windows Hello for Business incorporates two of these factors: something you have (the user's private key protected by the device's security module) and something you know (your PIN). With the proper hardware, you can enhance the user experience by introducing biometrics. By using biometrics, you can replace the "something you know" authentication factor with the "something that is part of you" factor, with the assurances that users can fall back to the "something you know factor".
+
+ - question: What are the biometric requirements for Windows Hello for Business?
+ answer: |
+ Read [Windows Hello biometric requirements](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/windows-hello-biometric-requirements) for more information.
+
+ - question: Can I use both a PIN and biometrics to unlock my device?
+ answer: |
+ Starting in Windows 10, version 1709, you can use multi-factor unlock to require users to provide an additional factor to unlock their device. Authentication remains two-factor, but another factor is required before Windows allows the user to reach the desktop. To learn more, see [Multifactor Unlock](feature-multifactor-unlock.md).
+
+ - question: What's the difference between Windows Hello and Windows Hello for Business?
+ answer: |
+ Windows Hello represents the biometric framework provided in Windows 10. Windows Hello lets users use biometrics to sign in to their devices by securely storing their user name and password and releasing it for authentication when the user successfully identifies themselves using biometrics. Windows Hello for Business uses asymmetric keys protected by the device's security module that requires a user gesture (PIN or biometrics) to authenticate.
+
+ - question: Why can't I enroll biometrics for my local, built-in administrator?
+ answer: |
+ Windows 10 does not allow the local administrator to enroll biometric gestures (face or fingerprint).
+
+ - question: I have extended Active Directory to Azure Active Directory. Can I use the on-premises deployment model?
+ answer: |
+ No. If your organization is federated or using online services, such as Azure AD Connect, Office 365, or OneDrive, then you must use a hybrid deployment model. On-premises deployments are exclusive to organizations who need more time before moving to the cloud and exclusively use Active Directory.

-# BitLocker frequently asked questions (FAQ)
-
-**Applies to**
-- Windows 10
-
-## Can BitLocker deployment be automated in an enterprise environment?
-
-Yes, you can automate the deployment and configuration of BitLocker and the TPM using either WMI or Windows PowerShell scripts. How you choose to implement the scripts depends on your environment. You can also use Manage-bde.exe to locally or remotely configure BitLocker. For more info about writing scripts that use the BitLocker WMI providers, see [BitLocker Drive Encryption Provider](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=80600). For more info about using Windows PowerShell cmdlets with BitLocker Drive Encryption, see [BitLocker Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell](https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/bitlocker/index?view=win10-ps).
-
-## Can BitLocker encrypt more than just the operating system drive?
-
-Yes.
-
-## Is there a noticeable performance impact when BitLocker is enabled on a computer?
-
-Generally it imposes a single-digit percentage performance overhead.
-
-## How long will initial encryption take when BitLocker is turned on?
-
-Although BitLocker encryption occurs in the background while you continue to work, and the system remains usable, encryption times vary depending on the type of drive that is being encrypted, the size of the drive, and the speed of the drive. If you are encrypting large drives, you may want to set encryption to occur during times when you will not be using the drive.
-
-You can also choose whether or not BitLocker should encrypt the entire drive or just the used space on the drive when you turn on BitLocker. On a new hard drive, encrypting just the used spaced can be considerably faster than encrypting the entire drive. When this encryption option is selected, BitLocker automatically encrypts data as it is saved, ensuring that no data is stored unencrypted.
-
-## What happens if the computer is turned off during encryption or decryption?
-
-If the computer is turned off or goes into hibernation, the BitLocker encryption and decryption process will resume where it stopped the next time Windows starts. This is true even if the power is suddenly unavailable.
-
-## Does BitLocker encrypt and decrypt the entire drive all at once when reading and writing data?
-
-No, BitLocker does not encrypt and decrypt the entire drive when reading and writing data. The encrypted sectors in the BitLocker-protected drive are decrypted only as they are requested from system read operations. Blocks that are written to the drive are encrypted before the system writes them to the physical disk. No unencrypted data is ever stored on a BitLocker-protected drive.
-
-## How can I prevent users on a network from storing data on an unencrypted drive?
-
-You can configure Group Policy settings to require that data drives be BitLocker-protected before a BitLocker-protected computer can write data to them. For more info, see [BitLocker Group Policy settings](bitlocker-group-policy-settings.md).
-When these policy settings are enabled, the BitLocker-protected operating system will mount any data drives that are not protected by BitLocker as read-only.
-
-## What is Used Disk Space Only encryption?
-
-BitLocker in Windows 10 lets users choose to encrypt just their data. Although it's not the most secure way to encrypt a drive, this option can reduce encryption time by more than 99 percent, depending on how much data that needs to be encrypted. For more information, see [Used Disk Space Only encryption](bitlocker-device-encryption-overview-windows-10.md#used-disk-space-only-encryption).
-
-## What system changes would cause the integrity check on my operating system drive to fail?
-
-The following types of system changes can cause an integrity check failure and prevent the TPM from releasing the BitLocker key to decrypt the protected operating system drive:
-
-- Moving the BitLocker-protected drive into a new computer.
-- Installing a new motherboard with a new TPM.
-- Turning off, disabling, or clearing the TPM.
-- Changing any boot configuration settings.
-- Changing the BIOS, UEFI firmware, master boot record, boot sector, boot manager, option ROM, or other early boot components or boot configuration data.
-
-## What causes BitLocker to start into recovery mode when attempting to start the operating system drive?
-
-Because BitLocker is designed to protect your computer from numerous attacks, there are numerous reasons why BitLocker could start in recovery mode.
-For example:
-
-- Changing the BIOS boot order to boot another drive in advance of the hard drive.
-- Adding or removing hardware, such as inserting a new card in the computer, including some PCMIA wireless cards.
-- Removing, inserting, or completely depleting the charge on a smart battery on a portable computer.
-
-In BitLocker, recovery consists of decrypting a copy of the volume master key using either a recovery key stored on a USB flash drive or a cryptographic key derived from a recovery password.
-The TPM is not involved in any recovery scenarios, so recovery is still possible if the TPM fails boot component validation, malfunctions, or is removed.
-
-## What can prevent BitLocker from binding to PCR 7?
-
-BitLocker can be prevented from binding to PCR 7 if a non-Windows OS booted prior to Windows, or if Secure Boot is not available to the device, either because it has been disabled or the hardware does not support it.
-
-## Can I swap hard disks on the same computer if BitLocker is enabled on the operating system drive?
-
-Yes, you can swap multiple hard disks on the same computer if BitLocker is enabled, but only if the hard disks were BitLocker-protected on the same computer. The BitLocker keys are unique to the TPM and operating system drive. So if you want to prepare a backup operating system or data drive in case a disk fails, make sure that they were matched with the correct TPM. You can also configure different hard drives for different operating systems and then enable BitLocker on each one with different authentication methods (such as one with TPM-only and one with TPM+PIN) without any conflicts.
-
-## Can I access my BitLocker-protected drive if I insert the hard disk into a different computer?
-
-Yes, if the drive is a data drive, you can unlock it from the **BitLocker Drive Encryption** Control Panel item just as you would any other data drive by using a password or smart card. If the data drive was configured for automatic unlock only, you will have to unlock it by using the recovery key. The encrypted hard disk can be unlocked by a data recovery agent (if one was configured) or it can be unlocked by using the recovery key.
-
-## Why is "Turn BitLocker on" not available when I right-click a drive?
-Some drives cannot be encrypted with BitLocker. Reasons a drive cannot be encrypted include insufficient disk size, an incompatible file system, if the drive is a dynamic disk, or a drive is designated as the system partition. By default, the system drive (or system partition) is hidden from display. However, if it is not created as a hidden drive when the operating system was installed due to a custom installation process, that drive might be displayed but cannot be encrypted.
-
-## What type of disk configurations are supported by BitLocker?
-Any number of internal, fixed data drives can be protected with BitLocker. On some versions ATA and SATA-based, direct-attached storage devices are also supported.

+ - question: What can prevent BitLocker from binding to PCR 7?
+ answer: BitLocker can be prevented from binding to PCR 7 if a non-Windows OS booted prior to Windows, or if Secure Boot is not available to the device, either because it has been disabled or the hardware does not support it.
+
+ - question: Can I swap hard disks on the same computer if BitLocker is enabled on the operating system drive?
+ answer: Yes, you can swap multiple hard disks on the same computer if BitLocker is enabled, but only if the hard disks were BitLocker-protected on the same computer. The BitLocker keys are unique to the TPM and operating system drive. So if you want to prepare a backup operating system or data drive in case a disk fails, make sure that they were matched with the correct TPM. You can also configure different hard drives for different operating systems and then enable BitLocker on each one with different authentication methods (such as one with TPM-only and one with TPM+PIN) without any conflicts.
+
+ - question: Can I access my BitLocker-protected drive if I insert the hard disk into a different computer?
+ answer: Yes, if the drive is a data drive, you can unlock it from the **BitLocker Drive Encryption** Control Panel item just as you would any other data drive by using a password or smart card. If the data drive was configured for automatic unlock only, you will have to unlock it by using the recovery key. The encrypted hard disk can be unlocked by a data recovery agent (if one was configured) or it can be unlocked by using the recovery key.
+
+ - question: Why is "Turn BitLocker on" not available when I right-click a drive?
+ answer: Some drives cannot be encrypted with BitLocker. Reasons a drive cannot be encrypted include insufficient disk size, an incompatible file system, if the drive is a dynamic disk, or a drive is designated as the system partition. By default, the system drive (or system partition) is hidden from display. However, if it is not created as a hidden drive when the operating system was installed due to a custom installation process, that drive might be displayed but cannot be encrypted.
+
+ - question: What type of disk configurations are supported by BitLocker?
+ answer: Any number of internal, fixed data drives can be protected with BitLocker. On some versions ATA and SATA-based, direct-attached storage devices are also supported.

This topic links to frequently asked questions about BitLocker. BitLocker is a data protection feature that encrypts drives on your computer to help prevent data theft or exposure. BitLocker-protected computers can also delete data more securely when they are decommissioned because it is much more difficult to recover deleted data from an encrypted drive than from a non-encrypted drive.

In this situation, you need to suspend BitLocker protection by using the [Manage-bde](/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/manage-bde) command-line tool, delete the password unlock method, and add the smart card method.

-# BitLocker Overview and Requirements FAQ
-
-**Applies to**
-- Windows 10
-
-## How does BitLocker work?
-
-**How BitLocker works with operating system drives**
-
-You can use BitLocker to mitigate unauthorized data access on lost or stolen computers by encrypting all user files and system files on the operating system drive, including the swap files and hibernation files, and checking the integrity of early boot components and boot configuration data.
-
-**How BitLocker works with fixed and removable data drives**
-
-You can use BitLocker to encrypt the entire contents of a data drive. You can use Group Policy to require that BitLocker be enabled on a drive before the computer can write data to the drive. BitLocker can be configured with a variety of unlock methods for data drives, and a data drive supports multiple unlock methods.
-
-## Does BitLocker support multifactor authentication?
-
-Yes, BitLocker supports multifactor authentication for operating system drives. If you enable BitLocker on a computer that has a TPM version 1.2 or later, you can use additional forms of authentication with the TPM protection.
-
-## What are the BitLocker hardware and software requirements?
-
-For requirements, see [System requirements](bitlocker-overview.md#system-requirements).
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Dynamic disks are not supported by BitLocker. Dynamic data volumes will not be displayed in the Control Panel. Although the operating system volume will always be displayed in the Control Panel, regardless of whether it is a Dynamic disk, if it is a dynamic disk it cannot be protected by BitLocker.
-
-## Why are two partitions required? Why does the system drive have to be so large?
-
-Two partitions are required to run BitLocker because pre-startup authentication and system integrity verification must occur on a separate partition from the encrypted operating system drive. This configuration helps protect the operating system and the information in the encrypted drive.
-
-## Which Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) does BitLocker support?
-
-BitLocker supports TPM version 1.2 or higher. BitLocker support for TPM 2.0 requires Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) for the device.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> TPM 2.0 is not supported in Legacy and CSM Modes of the BIOS. Devices with TPM 2.0 must have their BIOS mode configured as Native UEFI only. The Legacy and Compatibility Support Module (CSM) options must be disabled. For added security Enable the Secure Boot feature.
-
-> Installed Operating System on hardware in legacy mode will stop the OS from booting when the BIOS mode is changed to UEFI. Use the tool [MBR2GPT](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/mbr-to-gpt) before changing the BIOS mode which will prepare the OS and the disk to support UEFI.
-
-## How can I tell if a TPM is on my computer?
-
-Beginning with Windows 10, version 1803, you can check TPM status in **Windows Defender Security Center** > **Device Security** > **Security processor details**. In previous versions of Windows, open the TPM MMC console (tpm.msc) and look under the **Status** heading.
-
-## Can I use BitLocker on an operating system drive without a TPM?
-
-Yes, you can enable BitLocker on an operating system drive without a TPM version 1.2 or higher, if the BIOS or UEFI firmware has the ability to read from a USB flash drive in the boot environment. This is because BitLocker will not unlock the protected drive until BitLocker's own volume master key is first released by either the computer's TPM or by a USB flash drive containing the BitLocker startup key for that computer. However, computers without TPMs will not be able to use the system integrity verification that BitLocker can also provide.
-To help determine whether a computer can read from a USB device during the boot process, use the BitLocker system check as part of the BitLocker setup process. This system check performs tests to confirm that the computer can properly read from the USB devices at the appropriate time and that the computer meets other BitLocker requirements.
-
-## How do I obtain BIOS support for the TPM on my computer?
-
-Contact the computer manufacturer to request a Trusted Computing Group (TCG)-compliant BIOS or UEFI boot firmware that meets the following requirements:
-
-- It is compliant with the TCG standards for a client computer.
-- It has a secure update mechanism to help prevent a malicious BIOS or boot firmware from being installed on the computer.
-
-## What credentials are required to use BitLocker?
-
-To turn on, turn off, or change configurations of BitLocker on operating system and fixed data drives, membership in the local **Administrators** group is required. Standard users can turn on, turn off, or change configurations of BitLocker on removable data drives.
-
-## What is the recommended boot order for computers that are going to be BitLocker-protected?
-
-You should configure the startup options of your computer to have the hard disk drive first in the boot order, before any other drives such as CD/DVD drives or USB drives. If the hard disk is not first and you typically boot from hard disk, then a boot order change may be detected or assumed when removable media is found during boot. The boot order typically affects the system measurement that is verified by BitLocker and a change in boot order will cause you to be prompted for your BitLocker recovery key. For the same reason, if you have a laptop with a docking station, ensure that the hard disk drive is first in the boot order both when docked and undocked.

As an enterprise administrator, you define what is among trusted web sites, cloud resources, and internal networks. Everything not on your list is considered untrusted. If an employee goes to an untrusted site through either Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge opens the site in an isolated Hyper-V-enabled container.

+For Microsoft Office, Application Guard helps prevents untrusted Word, PowerPoint and Excel files from accessing trusted resources. Application Guard opens untrusted files in an isolated Hyper-V-enabled container. The isolated Hyper-V container is separate from the host operating system. This container isolation means that if the untrusted site or file turns out to be malicious, the host device is protected, and the attacker can't get to your enterprise data. For example, this approach makes the isolated container anonymous, so an attacker can't get to your employee's enterprise credentials.

-Your attack surface includes all the places where an attacker could compromise your organization's devices or networks. Reducing your attack surface means protecting your organization's devices and network, which leaves attackers with fewer ways to perform attacks.

+Attack surface reduction rules target certain software behaviors, such as:
- Launching executable files and scripts that attempt to download or run files;
- Running obfuscated or otherwise suspicious scripts; and
- Performing behaviors that apps don't usually initiate during normal day-to-day work.
-Such software behaviors are sometimes seen in legitimate applications; however, these behaviors are often considered risky because they are commonly abused by malware. Attack surface reduction rules can constrain risky behaviors and help keep your organization safe.

Use [audit mode](audit-windows-defender.md) to evaluate how attack surface reduction rules would impact your organization if they were enabled. It's best to run all rules in audit mode first so you can understand their impact on your line-of-business applications. Many line-of-business applications are written with limited security concerns, and they may perform tasks in ways that seem similar to malware. By monitoring audit data and [adding exclusions](enable-attack-surface-reduction.md#exclude-files-and-folders-from-asr-rules) for necessary applications, you can deploy attack surface reduction rules without impacting productivity.
-## Notifications when a rule is triggered
+## Warn mode for users
-Whenever a rule is triggered, a notification will be displayed on the device. You can [customize the notification](customize-attack-surface-reduction.md#customize-the-notification) with your company details and contact information. The notification also displays within the Microsoft Defender Security Center and the Microsoft 365 security center.
+(**NEW**!) Prior to warn mode capabilities, attack surface reduction rules that are enabled could be set to either audit mode or block mode. With the new warn mode, whenever content is blocked by an attack surface reduction rule, users see a dialog box that indicates the content is blocked. The dialog box also offers the user an option to unblock the content. The user can then retry their action, and the operation completes. When a user unblocks content, the content remains unblocked for 24 hours, and then blocking resumes.
+
+Warn mode helps your organization have attack surface reduction rules in place without preventing users from accessing the content they need to perform their tasks.
+
+### Requirements for warn mode to work
+
+Warn mode is supported on devices running the following versions of Windows:
+- [Windows 10, version 1809](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/whats-new/whats-new-windows-10-version-1809) or later
+- [Windows Server, version 1809](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/get-started/whats-new-in-windows-server-1809) or later
+
+In addition, make sure [Microsoft Defender Antivirus and antimalware updates](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/manage-updates-baselines-microsoft-defender-antivirus#monthly-platform-and-engine-versions) are installed
+- Minimum platform release requirement: `4.18.2008.9`
+- Minimum engine release requirement: `1.1.17400.5`
+
+For more information and to get your updates, see [Update for Microsoft Defender antimalware platform](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4052623/update-for-microsoft-defender-antimalware-platform).
+
+### Cases where warn mode is not supported
+
+Warn mode is not supported for the following attack surface reduction rules:
+
+- [Block JavaScript or VBScript from launching downloaded executable content](#block-javascript-or-vbscript-from-launching-downloaded-executable-content) (GUID `d3e037e1-3eb8-44c8-a917-57927947596d`)
+- [Block persistence through WMI event subscription](#block-persistence-through-wmi-event-subscription) (GUID `e6db77e5-3df2-4cf1-b95a-636979351e5b`)
+- [Use advanced protection against ransomware](#use-advanced-protection-against-ransomware) (GUID `c1db55ab-c21a-4637-bb3f-a12568109d35`)
+
+In addition, warn mode is not supported on devices running older versions of Windows. In those cases, attack surface reduction rules that are configured to run in warn mode will run in block mode.
+
+## Notifications and alerts
+
+Whenever an attack surface reduction rule is triggered, a notification is displayed on the device. You can [customize the notification](customize-attack-surface-reduction.md#customize-the-notification) with your company details and contact information.
+
+In addition, when certain attack surface reduction rules are triggered, alerts are generated.
+
+Notifications and any alerts that are generated can be viewed in the Microsoft Defender Security Center ([https://securitycenter.windows.com](https://securitycenter.windows.com)) and in the Microsoft 365 security center ([https://security.microsoft.com](https://security.microsoft.com)).
+
+## Advanced hunting and attack surface reduction events
+
+You can use advanced hunting to view attack surface reduction events. To streamline the volume of incoming data, only unique processes for each hour are viewable with advanced hunting. The time of an attack surface reduction event is the first time that event is seen within the hour.
+
+For example, suppose that an attack surface reduction event occurs on ten devices during the 2:00 PM hour. Suppose that the first event occurred at 2:15, and the last at 2:45. With advanced hunting, you'll see one instance of that event (even though it actually occurred on ten devices), and its timestamp will be 2:15 PM.

+
+This rule prevents attacks by blocking Adobe Reader from creating additional processes.

+
+Creating malicious child processes is a common malware strategy. Malware that abuse Office as a vector often run VBA macros and exploit code to download and attempt to run additional payloads. However, some legitimate line-of-business applications might also generate child processes for benign purposes, such as spawning a command prompt or using PowerShell to configure registry settings.

+### Block credential stealing from the Windows local security authority subsystem
+
+This rule helps prevent credential stealing, by locking down Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS).
+
+LSASS authenticates users who sign in on a Windows computer. Microsoft Defender Credential Guard in Windows 10 normally prevents attempts to extract credentials from LSASS. However, some organizations can't enable Credential Guard on all of their computers because of compatibility issues with custom smartcard drivers or other programs that load into the Local Security Authority (LSA). In these cases, attackers can use hack tools like Mimikatz to scrape cleartext passwords and NTLM hashes from LSASS.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> In some apps, the code enumerates all running processes and attempts to open them with exhaustive permissions. This rule denies the app's process open action and logs the details to the security event log. This rule can generate a lot of noise. If you have an app that simply enumerates LSASS, but has no real impact in functionality, there is NO need to add it to the exclusion list. By itself, this event log entry doesn't necessarily indicate a malicious threat.

### Block Office applications from creating executable content
This rule prevents Office apps, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, from creating potentially malicious executable content, by blocking malicious code from being written to disk.
- Malware that abuses Office as a vector may attempt to break out of Office and save malicious components to disk. These malicious components would survive a computer reboot and persist on the system. Therefore, this rule defends against a common persistence technique.

-### Block credential stealing from the Windows local security authority subsystem
-
-This rule helps prevent credential stealing, by locking down Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS).
-
-LSASS authenticates users who log in to a Windows computer. Microsoft Defender Credential Guard in Windows 10 normally prevents attempts to extract credentials from LSASS. However, some organizations can't enable Credential Guard on all of their computers because of compatibility issues with custom smartcard drivers or other programs that load into the Local Security Authority (LSA). In these cases, attackers can use hack tools like Mimikatz to scrape cleartext passwords and NTLM hashes from LSASS.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> In some apps, the code enumerates all running processes and attempts to open them with exhaustive permissions. This rule denies the app's process open action and logs the details to the security event log. This rule can generate a lot of noise. If you have an app that simply enumerates LSASS, but has no real impact in functionality, there is NO need to add it to the exclusion list. By itself, this event log entry doesn't necessarily indicate a malicious threat.

Controlled folder access protects your data by checking apps against a list of known, trusted apps. Supported on Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 clients, controlled folder access can be turned on using the Windows Security App or in Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager and Intune (for managed devices).

Controlled folder access works best with [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](../microsoft-defender-atp/microsoft-defender-advanced-threat-protection.md), which gives you detailed reporting into controlled folder access events and blocks as part of the usual [alert investigation scenarios](../microsoft-defender-atp/investigate-alerts.md).

Controlled folder access works by only allowing trusted apps to access protected folders. Protected folders are specified when controlled folder access is configured. Typically, commonly used folders, such as those used for documents, pictures, downloads, and so on, are included in the list of controlled folders.
-Controlled folder access works with a list of trusted software. If an app is included in the list of trusted software, the app works as expected. If not, the app is blocked from making any changes to files that are inside protected folders. Apps are added to the trusted list based upon their prevalence and reputation. Apps that are highly prevalent throughout your organization, and that have never displayed any malicious behavior, are deemed trustworthy and automatically added to the list.

+## Why controlled folder access is important
Controlled folder access is especially useful in helping to protect your documents and information from [ransomware](https://www.microsoft.com/wdsi/threats/ransomware). In a ransomware attack, your files can get encrypted and held hostage.

Investigate alerts that are affecting your network, understand what they mean, and how to resolve them.
-Click an alert to see the alert details view and the various tiles that provide information about the alert.
+Select an alert from the alerts queue to go to alert page. This view contains the alert title, the affected assets, the details side pane, and the alert story.
-From the alert details view, you can manage an alert and see alert data such as severity, category, technique, along with other information that can help you make better decisions on how to approach them.
+From the alert page, begin your investigation by selecting the affected assets or any of the entities under the alert story tree view. The details pane automatically populates with further information about what you selected. To see what kind of information you can view here, read [Review alerts in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/review-alerts).
-The techniques reflected in the card are based on [MITRE enterprise techniques](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/enterprise/).
+## Investigate using the alert story
-You'll also see a status of the automated investigation on the upper right corner. Clicking on the link will take you to the Automated investigations view. For more information, see [Automated investigations](automated-investigations.md).
+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.
-The alert context tile shows the where, who, and when context of the alert. As with other pages, you can click on the icon beside the name or user account to bring up the device or user details pane. The alert details view also has a status tile that shows the status of the alert in the queue. You'll also see a description and a set of recommended actions which you can expand.
+Expand entities to view details at a glance. Selecting 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. Selecting *...* 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.
-For more information about managing alerts, see [Manage alerts](manage-alerts.md).
+> [!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.
-The alert details page also shows the alert process tree, an incident graph, and an artifact timeline.
+
-You can click on the device link from the alert view to navigate to the device. The alert will be highlighted automatically, and the timeline will display the appearance of the alert and its evidence in the **Device timeline**. If the alert appeared more than once on the device, the latest occurrence will be displayed in the **Device timeline**.
+## Take action from the details pane
-Alerts attributed to an adversary or actor display a colored tile with the actor's name.
+Once you've selected an entity of interest, the details pane will change to display information about the selected entity type, historic information when it's 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.
-Click on the actor's name to see the threat intelligence profile of the actor, including a brief overview of the actor, their interests or targets, their tools, tactics, and processes (TTPs), and areas where they've been observed worldwide. You will also see a set of recommended actions to take.
+If you classify it as a true alert, you can also select a determination, as shown in the image below.
-Some actor profiles include a link to download a more comprehensive threat intelligence report.
+
-
+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.
-The detailed alert profile helps you understand who the attackers are, who they target, what techniques, tools, and procedures (TTPs) they use, which geolocations they are active in, and finally, what recommended actions you may take. In many cases, you can download a more detailed Threat Intelligence report about this attacker or campaign for offline reading.
+
-## Alert process tree
-The **Alert process tree** takes alert triage and investigation to the next level, displaying the aggregated alert and surrounding evidence that occurred within the same execution context and time period. This rich triage and investigation context is available on the alert page.
+> [!TIP]
+> If you're experiencing any issues not described above, use the 🙂 button to provide feedback or open a support ticket.
-
-
-The **Alert process tree** expands to display the execution path of the alert and related evidence that occurred around the same period. Items marked with a thunderbolt icon should be given priority during investigation.
-
->[!NOTE]
->The alert process tree might not show for some alerts, including alerts not triggered directly by process activity.
-
-Clicking in the circle immediately to the left of the indicator displays its details.
-
-
-
-The alert details pane helps you take a deeper look at the details about the alert. It displays rich information about the execution details, file details, detections, observed worldwide, observed in organization, and other details taken from the entity's page – while remaining on the alert page, so you never leave the current context of your investigation.
-
-
-## Incident graph
-The **Incident Graph** provides a visual representation of the organizational footprint of the alert and its evidence: where the evidence that triggered the alert was observed on other devices. It provides a graphical mapping from the original device and evidence expanding to show other devices in the organization where the triggering evidence was also observed.
-
-
-
-The **Incident Graph** supports expansion by File, Process, command line, or Destination IP Address, as appropriate.
-
-The **Incident Graph** expansion by destination IP Address, shows the organizational footprint of communications with this IP Address without having to change context by navigating to the IP Address page.
-
-You can click the full circles on the incident graph to expand the nodes and view the expansion to other devices where the matching criteria were observed.
-
-## Artifact timeline
-The **Artifact timeline** feature provides an additional view of the evidence that triggered the alert on the device, and shows the date and time the evidence triggering the alert was observed, as well as the first time it was observed on the device. This can help in understanding if the evidence was first observed at the time of the alert, or whether it was observed on the device earlier - without triggering an alert.
-
-
-
-Selecting an alert detail brings up the **Details pane** where you'll be able to see more information about the alert such as file details, detections, instances of it observed worldwide, and in the organization.

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 device 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.

-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.

+# Filter origin audit log improvements
+
+Debugging packet drops is a continuous issue to Windows customers. In the past, customers had limited information about packet drops.
+
+Typically, when investigating packet drop events, a customer would use the field `Filter Run-Time ID` from Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) audits 5157 or 5152.
+
+
+
+The filter ID uniquely identifies the filter that caused the packet drop. The filter ID can be searched in the WFP state dump output to trace back to the Firewall rule where the filter originated from.
+
+However, the filter ID is not a reliable source for tracing back to the filter or the rule, as the filter ID can change for many reasons despite the rule not changing at all. This makes the diagnosis process error-prone and difficult.
+
+For customers to debug packet drop events correctly and efficiently, they would need more context about the blocking filter such as its origin.
+
+The blocking filters can be categorized under these filter origins:
+
+1. Firewall rules
+
+2. Firewall default block filters
+
+ a. AppContainer loopback
+
+ b. Boottime default
+
+ c. Quarantine default
+
+ d. Query user default
+
+ e. Stealth
+
+ f. Universal Windows Platform (UWP) default
+
+ g. Windows Service Hardening (WSH) default
+
+The next section describes the improvements made to audits 5157 and 5152, and how the above filter origins are used in these events. These improvements were added in Iron release.
+
+ ## Improved firewall audit
+
+The two new fields added to the audit 5157 and 5152 events are `Filter Origin` and `Interface Index`.
+
+The `Filter Origin` field helps identify the cause of the drop. Packet drops from firewall are explicitly dropped by default block filters created by the Windows Firewall service or a firewall rule that may be created by users, policies, services, apps, etc.
+
+`Filter Origin` specifies either the rule ID (a unique identifier of a Firewall rule) or the name of one of the default block filters.
+
+The `Interface Index` field specifies the network interface in which the packet was dropped. This field helps to identify which interface was quarantined, if the `Filter Origin` is a `Quarantine Default`.
+
+To enable a specific audit event, run the corresponding command in an administrator command prompt:
+
+|**Audit #**|**Enable command**|**Link**|
+|:-----|:-----|:-----|
+|**5157**|`Auditpol /set /category:"System" /SubCategory:"Filtering Platform Connection" /success:enable /failure:enable`|[5157(F): The Windows Filtering Platform has blocked a connection.](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/auditing/event-5157)|
+|**5152**|`Auditpol /set /category:"System" /SubCategory:"Filtering Platform Connection" /success:enable /failure:enable`|[5152(F): The Windows Filtering Platform blocked a packet.](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/auditing/event-5152)|
+
+## Example flow of debugging packet drops with filter origin
+
+As the audit surfaces `Filter Origin` and `Interface Index`, the network admin can determine the root cause of the network packet drop and the interface it happened on.
+
+
+
+The next sections are divided by `Filter Origin` type, the value is either a rule name or the name of one of the default block filters. If the filter origin is one of the default block filters, skip to the section, **Firewall default block filters**. Otherwise, continue to the section **Firewall rules**.
+
+## Firewall rules
+
+Run the following PowerShell command to generate the rule information using `Filter Origin`.
+
+```Powershell
+Get-NetFirewallRule -Name “”
+Get-NetFirewallRule -Name " {A549B7CF-0542-4B67-93F9-EEBCDD584377} "
+```
+
+
+
+After identifying the rule that caused the drop, the network admin can now modify/disable the rule to allow the traffic they want through command prompt or using the Windows Defender UI. The network admin can find the rule in the UI with the rule’s `DisplayName`.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+> Firewall rules from Mobile Device Management (MDM) store cannot be searched using the Windows Defender UI. Additionally, the above method will not work when the `Filter Origin` is one of the default block filters, as they do not correspond to any firewall rules.
+
+## Firewall default block filters
+
+**AppContainer loopback**
+
+Network drop events from the AppContainer loopback block filter origin occur when localhost loopback is not enabled properly for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app.
+
+To enable localhost loopback in a local debugging environment, see [Communicating with localhost](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/iot-core/develop-your-app/loopback).
+
+To enable localhost loopback for a published app that requires loopback access to communicate with another UWP or packaged win32 app, see [uap4:LoopbackAccessRules](https://docs.microsoft.com/uwp/schemas/appxpackage/uapmanifestschema/element-uap4-loopbackaccessrules).
+
+**Boottime default**
+
+Network drop events from the boottime default block filter origin occur when the computer is booting up and the firewall service is not yet running. Services will need to create a boottime allow filter to allow the traffic. It should be noted that it is not possible to add boottime filters through firewall rules.
+
+**Quarantine default**
+
+Network drops from the quarantine default block filter occur when the interface is temporarily quarantined by Firewall service. The firewall service quarantines an interface when it detects a change on the network, and based on several other factors, the firewall service may put the interface in quarantine as a safeguard. When an interface is in quarantine, the quarantine default block filter will block any new non-loopback inbound connections.
+
+Run the following PowerShell command to generate more information about the interface:
+
+```Powershell
+Get-NetIPInterface –InterfaceIndex
+Get-NetIPInterface –InterfaceIndex 5
+```
+
+
+
+To learn more about the quarantine feature, see [Quarantine behavior](quarantine.md).
+
+>[!NOTE]
+> Quarantine-related packet drops are often transient and signify nothing more than a network change on the interface.
+
+**Query user default**
+
+Network packet drops from query user default block filters occur when there is no explicit rule created to allow an inbound connection for the packet. When an application binds to a socket but does not have a corresponding inbound rule to allow packets on that port, Windows generates a pop up for the user to allow or deny the app to receive packets on the available network categories. If the user clicks to deny the connection in this popup, subsequent inbound packets to the app will be dropped. To resolve the drops:
+
+1. Create an inbound firewall rule to allow the packet for this application. This will allow the packet to bypass any query user default block filters.
+
+2. Delete any block query user rules that may have been auto generated by the firewall service.
+
+To generate a list of all the query user block rules, you can run the following PowerShell command:
+
+```Powershell
+Get-NetFirewallRule | Where {$_.Name -like "*Query User*"}
+```
+
+
+
+The query user pop-up feature is enabled by default.
+
+To disable the query user pop-up, you can run the following in administrative command prompt:
+
+```Console
+Netsh set allprofiles inboundusernotification disable
+```
+Or in PowerShell:
+
+```Powershell
+Set-NetFirewallProfile -NotifyOnListen False
+```
+
+**Stealth**
+
+Network drops from stealth filters are typically made to prevent port scanning.
+
+To disable stealth-mode, see [Disable stealth mode in Windows](https://docs.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/windows-server/networking/disable-stealth-mode).
+
+**UWP default**
+
+Network drops from Universal Windows Platform (UWP) default inbound/outbound block filters are often caused by the UWP app not being configured correctly (that is, the UWP app is missing the correct capability tokens or loopback is not enabled) or the private range is configured incorrectly.
+
+For more information on how to debug drops caused by UWP default block filters, see [Troubleshooting UWP App Connectivity Issues](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-firewall/troubleshooting-uwp-firewall).
+
+**WSH default**
+
+Network drops from Windows Service Hardening (WSH) default filters indicate that there wasn’t an explicit Windows Service Hardening allow rule to allow network traffic for the protected service. The service owner will need to configure allow rules for the service if the block is not expected.

+# Troubleshooting Windows Firewall settings after a Windows upgrade
+
+Use this article to troubleshoot firewall settings that are turned off after upgrading to a new version of Windows.
+
+## Rule groups
+
+To help you organize your list, individual built-in firewall rules are categorized within a group. For example, the following rules form part of the Remote Desktop group.
+
+- Remote Desktop – Shadow (TCP-In)
+- Remote Desktop – User Mode (TCP-In)
+- Remote Desktop – User-Mode (UDP-In)
+
+Other group examples include **core networking**, **file and print sharing**, and **network discovery**. Grouping allows admins to manage sets of similar rules by filtering on categories in the firewall interface (wf.msc). Do this by right-clicking on either **Inbound** or **Outbound Rules** and selecting **Filter by Group**. Optionally, you can use PowerShell using the `Get-NetFirewallRule` cmdlet with the `-Group` switch.
+
+```Powershell
+Get-NetFirewallRule -Group
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Microsoft recommends to enable or disable an entire group instead of individual rules.
+
+Microsoft recommends that you enable/disable all of the rules within a group instead of one or two individual rules. This is because groups are not only used to organize rules and allow batch rule modification by type, but they also represent a 'unit' by which rule state is maintained across a Windows upgrade. Rule groups, as opposed to individual rules, are the unit by which the update process determines what should be enabled/disabled when the upgrade is complete.
+
+For example, the Remote Desktop group consists of three rules. To ensure that the rule set is properly migrated during an upgrade, all three rules must be enabled. If only one rule is enabled, the upgrade process will see that two of three rules are disabled and subsequently disable the entire group to maintain a clean, out-of-the-box configuration. This scenario has the unintended consequence of breaking Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connectivity to the host.

+# Quarantine behavior
+
+One of the security challenges that network admins face is configuring a machine properly after a network change.
+
+Network changes can happen frequently. Additionally, the operations required to recategorize the network after a change and apply the correct security policies on a machine are non-trivial and may require considerable CPU time. This is especially true for machines that are part of the domain. In the past, the delay in applying security policies during network recategorization has been successfully exploited for vulnerabilities.
+
+To counter this potential exploitation, Windows Firewall will quarantine an interface until the system has successfully recategorized the network and Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) has the correct filters applied for the updated interface configuration. During quarantine, all new inbound connections without exceptions are blocked to the machine.
+
+While the quarantine feature has long been a part of Windows Firewall, the feature behavior has often caused confusion for customers unaware of quarantine and its motivations.
+
+Ultimately, the goal of this document is to describe the quarantine feature at a high level and help network admins understand why the application traffic is sometimes blocked by quarantine.
+
+## Quarantine filters
+
+The quarantine feature creates filters that can be split into three categories:
+
+- Quarantine default inbound block filter
+- Quarantine default exception filters
+- Interface un-quarantine filters
+
+These filters are added in the FWPM_SUBLAYER_MPSSVC_QUARANTINE sublayer and these layers are:
+
+1. FWPM_LAYER_ALE_AUTH_CONNECT_V4
+
+2. FWPM_LAYER_ALE_AUTH_CONNECT_V6
+
+3. FWPM_LAYER_ALE_AUTH_RECV_ACCEPT_V4
+
+4. FWPM_LAYER_ALE_AUTH_RECV_ACCEPT_V6
+
+>[!NOTE]
+> Any firewall rules added by the customers will not affect the filters in the quarantine sublayer as filters from Firewall rules are added in the FWPM_SUBLAYER_MPSSVC_WF sublayer. In other words, customers cannot add their own exception filters to prevent packets from being evaluated by quarantine filters.
+
+For more information about WFP layers and sublayers, see [WFP Operation](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/win32/fwp/basic-operation).
+
+### Quarantine default inbound block filter
+
+The quarantine default inbound block filter effectively blocks any new non-loopback inbound connections if the packet is not explicitly permitted by another filter in the quarantine sublayer.
+
+### Quarantine default exception filters
+
+When the interface is in quarantine state, the quarantine default exception filters will permit new inbound connections given that they meet the conditions of an exception filter. One example of the exception filters is the quarantine default inbound loopback exception filter. This exception filter allows all loopback packets when the interface is in quarantine state.
+
+### Interface un-quarantine filter
+
+The interface un-quarantine filters allow all non-loopback packets if the interface is successfully categorized.
+
+## Quarantine flow
+
+The following describes the general flow of quarantine:
+
+1. There is some change on the current network interface.
+
+2. The interface un-quarantine filters will no longer permit new inbound connections. The interface is now in quarantine state.
+
+3. All non-loopback inbound connections are either permitted by quarantine default exception filters or dropped by the quarantine default inbound block filter.
+
+4. The WFP filters applicable to the old interface state are removed.
+
+5. The WFP filters applicable to the new interface state are added, which include the un-quarantine filters for this interface. These filters are updated to match the interface's current state.
+
+6. The interface has now exited quarantine state as the interface un-quarantine filters permit any new non-loopback packets.
+
+## Quarantine diagnostics
+
+There are two methods of identifying packet drops from the quarantine default inbound block filter.
+
+Given that the network connectivity issue is reproducible, diagnostic traces can be collected by running the following in an administrative command prompt:
+
+```console
+Netsh wfp cap start
+
+Netsh wfp cap stop
+```
+
+These commands generate a wfpdiag.cab. Inside the .cab exists a wfpdiag.xml, which contains drop `netEvents` and filters that existed during that reproduction.
+
+Inside the wfpdiag.xml, search for `netEvents` that have `FWPM_NET_EVENT_TYPE_CLASSIFY_DROP` as the `netEvent` type. To find the relevant drop events, search for the drop events with matching destination IP address, package SID, or application ID name.
+
+The characters in the application ID name will be separated by periods:
+
+```XML
+ \\.d.e.v.i.c.e.\\.h.a.r.d.d.i.s.k.v.o.l.u.m.e.1.\\.w.i.n.d.o.w.s.\\.s.y.s.t.e.m.3.2.\\.s.v.c.h.o.s.t...e.x.e...
+```
+
+The `netEvent` will have more information about the packet that was dropped including information about its capabilities, the filter that dropped the packet, and much more.
+
+If the filter that dropped that packet was by the quarantine default inbound block filter, then the drop `netEvent` will have `filterOrigin` as `Quarantine Default`.
+
+The following is a sample `netEvent` with `filterOrigin` as `Quarantine Default`.
+
+```XML
+
+

+ FWP_ACTION_BLOCK
+
+
+ Quarantine Default
+ 5
+
+
+
+```
+
+Alternatively, If the Filtering Platform Connection failure auditing is enabled, the drop event will be logged in Windows Event Viewer.
+
+To enable Filtering Platform Connection audits, run the following command in an administrative command prompt:
+
+```console
+Auditpol /set /category:"System" /SubCategory:"Filtering Platform Connection" /success:enable /failure:enable
+```
+
+Sample drop audit with `filterOrigin` as `Quarantine Default`.
+
+
+
+Once the drop’s filter origin has been identified as the quarantine default inbound block filter, the interface should be further investigated. To find the relevant interface, use the `InterfaceIndex` value from the `netEvent` or event audit in the following PowerShell command to generate more information about the interface:
+
+```Powershell
+Get-NetIPInterface –InterfaceIndex
+Get-NetIPInterface –InterfaceIndex 5
+```
+
+
+
+Using the interface name, event viewer can be searched for any interface related changes.
+
+To enable more networking audit events, see [Enable IPsec and Windows Firewall Audit Events](https://docs.microsoft.com/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc754714(v=ws.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN).
+
+Packet drops from the quarantine default inbound block filter are often transient and do not signify anything more than a network change on the interface.
