This article describes the network connections that Windows 10 and Windows 11 components make to Microsoft and the Windows Settings, Group Policies and registry settings available to IT Professionals to help manage the data shared with Microsoft. If you want to minimize connections from Windows to Microsoft services, or configure privacy settings, there are a number of settings for consideration. For example, you can configure diagnostic data to the lowest level for your edition of Windows and evaluate other connections Windows makes to Microsoft services you want to turn off using the instructions in this article. While it is possible to minimize network connections to Microsoft, there are many reasons why these communications are enabled by default, such as updating malware definitions and maintaining current certificate revocation lists. This data helps us deliver a secure, reliable, and up-to-date experience.
Microsoft provides a [Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=828887) package that will allow your organization to quickly configure the settings covered in this document to restrict connections from Windows 10 and Windows 11 to Microsoft. The Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Baseline is based on [Group Policy Administrative Template](/troubleshoot/windows-client/group-policy/create-and-manage-central-store) functionality and the package you download contains further instructions on how to deploy to devices in your organization. Since some of the settings can reduce the functionality and security configuration of your device, **before deploying Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline** make sure you **choose the right settings configuration for your environment** and **ensure that Windows and Microsoft Defender Antivirus are fully up to date**. Failure to do so may result in errors or unexpected behavior. You should not extract this package to the windows\system32 folder because it will not apply correctly.
