Windows includes features that connect to the internet to provide enhanced experiences and additional service based capabilities. These are called “connected experiences”. For example, Microsoft Defender Antivirus is a connected experience that delivers updated protection to keep the devices in your organization secure. When a connected experience is used, data is sent to and processed by Microsoft to provide that connected experiences. This data is crucial because this information enables us to deliver these cloud-based connected experiences. We refer to this data as required service data. Required service data can include information related to the operation of the connected experience that is needed to keep the underlying service secure, up to date, and performing as expected. Required service data is separate from Windows diagnostic data. For more information on Windows diagnostic data see [Configure Windows diagnostic data in your organization](configure-windows-diagnostic-data-in-your-organization.md).

Connected experiences that are critical to the proper functioning of Windows are called “essential services”. For example, the Windows licensing service confirms that you are properly licensed to use Windows. While you can control many of the connected experiences that are available to you and your organization, we recommend that you carefully assess the impact of turning off essential services.
