- Benefit to the customer:
-
- Before this setting, enterprise customers could not set up Cortana during out-of-box experience (OOBE) at all, even though Cortana is the “voice” that walks you through OOBE. By sending AllowCortana in initial enrollment, enterprise customers can allow their employees to see the Cortana consent page. This enables them to choose to use Cortana and make their lives easier and more productive.
-
- Sample scenario:
-
- An enterprise employee customer is going through OOBE and enjoys Cortana’s help in this process. The customer is happy to learn during OOBE that Cortana can help them be more productive, and chooses to set up Cortana before OOBE finishes. When their setup is finished, they are immediately ready to engage with Cortana to help manage their schedule and more.

+#### Understanding alert severity
+It is important to understand that the Windows Defender Antivirus (Windows Defender AV) and Windows Defender ATP alert severities are different because they represent different scopes.
+
+The Windows Defender AV threat severity represents the absolute severity of the detected threat (malware), and is assigned based on the potential risk to the individual machine, if infected.
+
+The Windows Defender ATP alert severity represents the severity of the detected behavior, the actual risk to the machine but more importantly the potential risk to the organization.
+
+So, for example:
+- The severity of a Windows Defender ATP alert about a Windows Defender AV detected threat that was completely prevented and did not infect the machine is categorized as "Informational" because there was no actual damage incurred.
+- An alert about a commercial malware was detected while executing, but blocked and remediated by Windows Defender AV, is categorized as "Low" because it may have caused some damage to the individual machine but poses no organizational threat.
+- An alert about malware detected while executing which can pose a threat not only to the individual machine but to the organization, regardless if it was eventually blocked, may be ranked as "Medium" or "High".
+- Suspicious behavioral alerts which were not blocked or remediated will be ranked "Low", "Medium" or "High" following the same organizational threat considerations.
