# PDE settings and configuration
This article describes the Personal Data Encryption (PDE) settings and how to configure them via Microsoft Intune or Configuration Service Providers (CSP).
> [!NOTE]
> PDE can be configured using MDM policies. The content to be protected by PDE can be specified using [PDE APIs](/uwp/api/windows.security.dataprotection.userdataprotectionmanager). There is no user interface in Windows to either enable PDE or protect content using PDE.
>
> The PDE APIs can be used to create custom applications and scripts to specify which content to protect and at what level to protect the content. Additionally, the PDE APIs can't be used to protect content until the PDE policy has been enabled.
## PDE settings
The following table lists the required settings to enable PDE.
| Setting name | Description |
|-|-|
|Enable Personal Data Encryption|PDE isn't enabled by default. Before PDE can be used, you must enable it.|
|Sign-in and lock last interactive user automatically after a restart| Winlogon automatic restart sign-on (ARSO) isn't supported for use with PDE. To use PDE, ARSO must be disabled.|
## PDE hardening recommendations
The following table lists the recommended settings to improve PDE's security.
| Setting name | Description |
|-|-|
|Kernel-mode crash dumps and live dumps|Kernel-mode crash dumps and live dumps can potentially cause the keys used by PDE to protect content to be exposed. For greatest security, disable kernel-mode crash dumps and live dumps.|
|Windows Error Reporting (WER)/user-mode crash dumps|Disabling Windows Error Reporting prevents user-mode crash dumps. User-mode crash dumps can potentially cause the keys used by PDE to protect content to be exposed. For greatest security, disable user-mode crash dumps.|
|Hibernation|Hibernation files can potentially cause the keys used by Personal Data Encryption (PDE) to protect content to be exposed. For greatest security, disable hibernation.|
|Allow users to select when a password is required when resuming from connected standby |When this policy isn't configured on Azure AD joined devices, users on a Connected Standby device can change the amount of time after the device´s screen turns off before a password is required to wake the device. During the time when the screen turns off but a password isn't required, the keys used by PDE to protect content could potentially be exposed. It's recommended to explicitly disable this policy on Azure AD joined devices.|

## Configure PDE with CSP
Alternatively, you can configure devices using the [Policy CSP][CSP-1] and [PDE CSP][CSP-2].
|OMA-URI|Format|Value|
|-|-|-|
|`./User/Vendor/MSFT/PDE/EnablePersonalDataEncryption`|int|`1`|
|`./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/WindowsLogon/AllowAutomaticRestartSignOn`|string|`<disabled/>`|
|`./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/MemoryDump/AllowCrashDump`| int| `0`|
|`./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/MemoryDump/AllowLiveDump` |int| `0`|
|`./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ErrorReporting/DisableWindowsErrorReporting`|string|`<enabled/>`|
|`./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Power/AllowHibernate` |int| `0`|
|`./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ADMX_CredentialProviders/AllowDomainDelayLock`|string|`<disabled/>`|
## Disable PDE
Once PDE is enabled, it isn't recommended to disable it. However if you need to disable PDE, you can do so using the following steps.
### Disable PDE with a settings catalog policy in Intune
[!INCLUDE [intune-settings-catalog-1](../../../../../includes/configure/intune-settings-catalog-1.md)]
| Category | Setting name | Value |
|--|--|--|
|**PDE**|**Enable Personal Data Encryption (User)**|Disable Personal Data Encryption|
[!INCLUDE [intune-settings-catalog-2](../../../../../includes/configure/intune-settings-catalog-2.md)]
### Disable PDE with CSP
You can disable PDE with CSP using the following setting:
|OMA-URI|Format|Value|
|-|-|-|
|`./User/Vendor/MSFT/PDE/EnablePersonalDataEncryption`|int|`0`|
## Decrypt PDE-encrypted content
Disabling PDE doesn't decrypt any PDE protected content. It only prevents the PDE API from being able to protect any additional content. PDE-protected files can be manually decrypted using the following steps:
1. Open the properties of the file
1. Under the **General** tab, select **Advanced...**
1. Uncheck the option **Encrypt contents to secure data**
1. Select **OK**, and then **OK** again
PDE-protected files can also be decrypted using [`cipher.exe`][WINS-1], which can be helpful in the following scenarios:
- Decrypting a large number of files on a device
- Decrypting files on multiple of devices
To decrypt files on a device using `cipher.exe`:
- Decrypt all files under a directory including subdirectories:
```cmd
cipher.exe /d /s:<path_to_directory>
```
- Decrypt a single file or all of the files in the specified directory, but not any subdirectories:
```cmd
cipher.exe /d <path_to_file_or_directory>
```
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Once a user selects to manually decrypt a file, the user won't be able to manually protect the file again using PDE.
## Next steps
- Review the [Personal Data Encryption (PDE) FAQ](faq.yml)

<!-- Max 5963468 OS 32516487 -->
<!-- Max 6946251 -->
Starting in Windows 11, version 22H2, Personal Data Encryption (PDE) is a security feature that provides more encryption capabilities to Windows.
PDE differs from BitLocker in that it encrypts individual files and content instead of whole volumes and disks. PDE occurs in addition to other encryption methods such as BitLocker.
PDE utilizes Windows Hello for Business to link data encryption keys with user credentials. This feature can minimize the number of credentials the user has to remember to gain access to content. For example, when using BitLocker with PIN, a user would need to authenticate twice - once with the BitLocker PIN and a second time with Windows credentials. This requirement requires users to remember two different credentials. With PDE, users only need to enter one set of credentials via Windows Hello for Business.
Because PDE utilizes Windows Hello for Business, PDE is also accessibility friendly due to the accessibility features available when using Windows Hello for Business.
Unlike BitLocker that releases data encryption keys at boot, PDE doesn't release data encryption keys until a user signs in using Windows Hello for Business. Users will only be able to access their PDE protected content once they've signed into Windows using Windows Hello for Business. Additionally, PDE has the ability to also discard the encryption keys when the device is locked.
> [!NOTE]
> PDE can be enabled using MDM policies. The content to be protected by PDE can be specified using [PDE APIs](/uwp/api/windows.security.dataprotection.userdataprotectionmanager). There is no user interface in Windows to either enable PDE or protect content using PDE.

# Personal Data Encryption (PDE) # Personal Data Encryption (PDE)
[!INCLUDE [Personal Data Encryption (PDE) description](includes/pde-description.md)] Starting in Windows 11, version 22H2, Personal Data Encryption (PDE) is a security feature that provides file-based data encryption capabilities to Windows.
[!INCLUDE [personal-data-encryption-pde](../../../../../includes/licensing/personal-data-encryption-pde.md)] PDE utilizes Windows Hello for Business to link *data encryption keys* with user credentials. When a user signs in to a device using Windows Hello for Business, decryption keys are released, and encrypted data is accessible to the user.\
When a user logs off, decryption keys are discarded and data is inaccessible, even if another user signs into the device.
The use of Windows Hello for Business offers the following advantages:
- It reduces the number of credentials to access encrypted content: users only need to sign-in with Windows Hello for Business
- The accessibility features available when using Windows Hello for Business extend to PDE protected content
PDE differs from BitLocker in that it encrypts files instead of whole volumes and disks. PDE occurs in addition to other encryption methods such as BitLocker.\
Unlike BitLocker that releases data encryption keys at boot, PDE doesn't release data encryption keys until a user signs in using Windows Hello for Business.
## Prerequisites ## Prerequisites
### Required To use PDE, the following prerequisites must be met:
- [Azure AD joined device](/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-join) - Windows 11, version 22H2 and later
- [Windows Hello for Business Overview](../../../identity-protection/hello-for-business/index.md) - The devices must be [Azure AD joined][AAD-1]. Domain-joined and hybrid Azure AD joined devices aren't supported
- Windows 11, version 22H2 and later Enterprise and Education editions - Users must sign in using [Windows Hello for Business](../../../identity-protection/hello-for-business/index.md)
### Not supported with PDE > [!IMPORTANT]
> If you sign in with a password or a [security key][AAD-2], you can't access PDE protected content.
- [FIDO/security key authentication](/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-authentication-passwordless-security-key) [!INCLUDE [personal-data-encryption-pde](../../../../../includes/licensing/personal-data-encryption-pde.md)]
- [Winlogon automatic restart sign-on (ARSO)](/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/manage/component-updates/winlogon-automatic-restart-sign-on--arso-)
- For information on disabling ARSO via Intune, see [Disable Winlogon automatic restart sign-on (ARSO)](intune-disable-arso.md).
- [Protect your enterprise data using Windows Information Protection (WIP)](../../../information-protection/windows-information-protection/protect-enterprise-data-using-wip.md)
- [Hybrid Azure AD joined devices](/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-join-hybrid)
- Remote Desktop connections
### Security hardening recommendations
- [Kernel-mode crash dumps and live dumps disabled](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-memorydump#memorydump-policies)
Kernel-mode crash dumps and live dumps can potentially cause the keys used by PDE to protect content to be exposed. For greatest security, disable kernel-mode crash dumps and live dumps. For information on disabling crash dumps and live dumps via Intune, see [Disable kernel-mode crash dumps and live dumps](intune-disable-memory-dumps.md).
- [Windows Error Reporting (WER) disabled/User-mode crash dumps disabled](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-errorreporting#errorreporting-disablewindowserrorreporting)
Disabling Windows Error Reporting prevents user-mode crash dumps. User-mode crash dumps can potentially cause the keys used by PDE to protect content to be exposed. For greatest security, disable user-mode crash dumps. For more information on disabling crash dumps via Intune, see [Disable Windows Error Reporting (WER)/user-mode crash dumps](intune-disable-wer.md).
- [Hibernation disabled](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-power#power-allowhibernate)
Hibernation files can potentially cause the keys used by PDE to protect content to be exposed. For greatest security, disable hibernation. For more information on disabling crash dumps via Intune, see [Disable hibernation](intune-disable-hibernation.md).
- [Allowing users to select when a password is required when resuming from connected standby disabled](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-admx-credentialproviders#admx-credentialproviders-allowdomaindelaylock)
When this policy isn't configured, the outcome between on-premises Active Directory joined devices and workgroup devices, including Azure Active Directory joined devices, is different:
- On-premises Active Directory joined devices:
- A user can't change the amount of time after the device´s screen turns off before a password is required when waking the device.
- A password is required immediately after the screen turns off.
The above is the desired outcome, but PDE isn't supported with on-premises Active Directory joined devices.
- Workgroup devices, including Azure AD joined devices:
- A user on a Connected Standby device can change the amount of time after the device´s screen turns off before a password is required to wake the device.
- During the time when the screen turns off but a password isn't required, the keys used by PDE to protect content could potentially be exposed. This outcome isn't a desired outcome.
Because of this undesired outcome, it's recommended to explicitly disable this policy on Azure AD joined devices instead of leaving it at the default of **Not configured**.
For information on disabling this policy via Intune, see [Disable allowing users to select when a password is required when resuming from connected standby](intune-disable-password-connected-standby.md).
### Highly recommended
- [BitLocker Drive Encryption](../bitlocker/index.md) enabled
Although PDE will work without BitLocker, it's recommended to also enable BitLocker. PDE is meant to work alongside BitLocker for increased security. PDE isn't a replacement for BitLocker.
- Backup solution such as [OneDrive in Microsoft 365](/sharepoint/onedrive-overview)
In certain scenarios such as TPM resets or destructive PIN resets, the keys used by PDE to protect content will be lost. In such scenarios, any content protected with PDE will no longer be accessible. The only way to recover such content would be from backup.
- [Windows Hello for Business PIN reset service](../../../identity-protection/hello-for-business/hello-feature-pin-reset.md)
Destructive PIN resets will cause keys used by PDE to protect content to be lost. A destructive PIN reset will make any content protected with PDE no longer accessible after the destructive PIN reset has occurred. Content protected with PDE will need to be recovered from a backup after a destructive PIN reset. For this reason Windows Hello for Business PIN reset service is recommended since it provides non-destructive PIN resets.
- [Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security](/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/windows-hello-enhanced-sign-in-security)
Provides additional security when authenticating with Windows Hello for Business via biometrics or PIN
## PDE protection levels ## PDE protection levels
PDE uses AES-CBC with a 256-bit key to protect content and offers two levels of protection. The level of protection is determined based on the organizational needs. These levels can be set via the [PDE APIs](/uwp/api/windows.security.dataprotection.userdataprotectionmanager).

## How to enable PDE
To enable PDE on devices, push an MDM policy to the devices with the following parameters:
- Name: **Personal Data Encryption**
- OMA-URI: **./User/Vendor/MSFT/PDE/EnablePersonalDataEncryption**
- Data type: **Integer**
- Value: **1**
There's also a [PDE CSP](/windows/client-management/mdm/personaldataencryption-csp) available for MDM solutions that support it.
> [!NOTE]
> Enabling the PDE policy on devices only enables the PDE feature. It does not protect any content. To protect content via PDE, use the [PDE APIs](/uwp/api/windows.security.dataprotection.userdataprotectionmanager). The PDE APIs can be used to create custom applications and scripts to specify which content to protect and at what level to protect the content.

## Disable PDE and decrypt content ## Recommendations for using PDE
Once PDE is enabled, it isn't recommended to disable it. However if PDE does need to be disabled, it can be done so via the MDM policy described in the section [How to enable PDE](#how-to-enable-pde). The value of the OMA-URI needs to be changed from **`1`** to **`0`** as follows: The following are recommendations for using PDE:
- Name: **Personal Data Encryption** - Enable [BitLocker Drive Encryption](../bitlocker/index.md). Although PDE works without BitLocker, it's recommended to enable BitLocker. PDE is meant to work alongside BitLocker for increased security at it isn't a replacement for BitLocker
- OMA-URI: **./User/Vendor/MSFT/PDE/EnablePersonalDataEncryption** - Backup solution such as [OneDrive in Microsoft 365](/sharepoint/onedrive-overview). In certain scenarios, such as TPM resets or destructive PIN resets, the keys used by PDE to protect content will be lost making any PDE-protected content inaccessible. The only way to recover such content is from a backup. If the files are synced to OneDrive, to regain access you must re-sync OneDrive
- Data type: **Integer** - [Windows Hello for Business PIN reset service](../../../identity-protection/hello-for-business/hello-feature-pin-reset.md). Destructive PIN resets will cause keys used by PDE to protect content to be lost, making any content protected with PDE inaccessible. After a destructive PIN reset, content protected with PDE must be recovered from a backup. For this reason, Windows Hello for Business PIN reset service is recommended since it provides non-destructive PIN resets
- Value: **0** - [Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security](/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/windows-hello-enhanced-sign-in-security) offers additional security when authenticating with Windows Hello for Business via biometrics or PIN
Disabling PDE doesn't decrypt any PDE protected content. It only prevents the PDE API from being able to protect any additional content. PDE protected files can be manually decrypted using the following steps:
1. Open the properties of the file
2. Under the **General** tab, select **Advanced...**
3. Uncheck the option **Encrypt contents to secure data**
4. Select **OK**, and then **OK** again
PDE protected files can also be decrypted using [cipher.exe](/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/cipher). Using `cipher.exe` can be helpful to decrypt files in the following scenarios:
- Decrypting a large number of files on a device
- Decrypting files on a large number of devices.
To decrypt files on a device using `cipher.exe`:
- Decrypt all files under a directory including subdirectories:
```cmd
cipher.exe /d /s:<path_to_directory>
```
- Decrypt a single file or all of the files in the specified directory, but not any subdirectories:
```cmd
cipher.exe /d <path_to_file_or_directory>
```
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Once a user selects to manually decrypt a file, the user will not be able to manually protect the file again using PDE.

# Disable allowing users to select when a password is required when resuming from connected standby for PDE
When the **Disable allowing users to select when a password is required when resuming from connected standby** policy isn't configured, the outcome between on-premises Active Directory joined devices and workgroup devices, including Azure Active Directory joined devices, is different:
- On-premises Active Directory joined devices:
- A user can't change the amount of time after the device's screen turns off before a password is required when waking the device
- A password is required immediately after the screen turns off
The above is the desired outcome, but PDE isn't supported with on-premises Active Directory joined devices
- Workgroup devices, including Azure AD joined devices:
- A user on a Connected Standby device can change the amount of time after the device´s screen turns off before a password is required to wake the device
- During the time when the screen turns off but a password isn't required, the keys used by PDE to protect content could potentially be exposed. This outcome isn't a desired outcome
Because of this undesired outcome, it's recommended to explicitly disable this policy on Azure AD joined devices instead of leaving it at the default of **Not configured**.

1. Under **Included groups** > **Groups**, ensure the correct group(s) are selected, and then select **Next**
1. In **Applicability Rules**, configure if necessary and then select **Next**
1. In **Review + create** page, review the configuration to make sure everything is configured correctly, and then select **Create**
