-# 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*.)

+ 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/).
+
+ - question: What's the difference between Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11? How do I know which one to use?
+ answer: |
+ 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).
+
+ - question: Does Microsoft Edge work with Enterprise Mode?
+ answer: |
+ [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.
+
+ - question: How do I customize Microsoft Edge and related settings for my organization?
+ answer: |
+ 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.
+
+ - question: Is Adobe Flash supported in Microsoft Edge?
+ answer: |
+ 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).
+
+ - question: Does Microsoft Edge support ActiveX controls or BHOs like Silverlight or Java?
+ answer: |
+ No, Microsoft Edge doesn't support ActiveX controls and Browser Helper Objects (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 Internet Explorer 11. Internet Explorer 11 offers additional security, manageability, performance, backward compatibility, and standards support.
+
+ - question: How often will Microsoft Edge be updated?
+ answer: |
+ 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.
+
+ - question: How can I provide feedback on Microsoft Edge?
+ answer: |
+ 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.
+
+ - question: Will Internet Explorer 11 continue to receive updates?
+ answer: |
+ 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.
+
+ - question: How do I find out which version of Microsoft Edge I have?
+ answer: |
+ In the upper-right corner of Microsoft Edge, select the ellipses icon (**...**), and then select **Settings**. Look in the **About Microsoft Edge** section to find your version.
+
+ - question: What is Microsoft EdgeHTML?
+ answer: |
+ 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*).

Proper preparation is essential for a successful district deployment. To avoid common mistakes, your first step is to plan a typical district configuration. Just as with building a house, you need a blueprint for what your district and individual schools should look like when it’s finished. The second step in preparation is to learn how you will manage the users, apps, and devices in your district. Just as a builder needs to have the right tools to build a house, you need the right set of tools to deploy your district.

+
* If you have on-premises AD DS, you can [integrate Azure AD with on-premises AD DS](https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/active-directory-aadconnect/).

* Use [Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/), [Mobile Device Management for Office 365](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Set-up-Mobile-Device-Management-MDM-in-Office-365-dd892318-bc44-4eb1-af00-9db5430be3cd?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US), or [Group Policy in AD DS](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc725828.aspx) to manage devices.
+
* Each device supports a one-student-per-device or multiple-students-per-device scenario.
+
* The devices can be a mixture of different make, model, and processor architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) or be identical.
+
* To initiate Windows 10 deployment, use a USB flash drive, DVD-ROM or CD-ROM, or Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE) boot.
+
* The devices can be a mixture of different Windows 10 editions, such as Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Enterprise, or Windows 10 Education.
Use these characteristics at a minimum as you deploy your schools. If your district deployment is less complex, you may want to review the guidance in [Deploy Windows 10 in a school](https://technet.microsoft.com/edu/windows/deploy-windows-10-in-a-school).

One other consideration is the mix of processor architectures you will support. If you can, support only 64-bit versions of Windows 10. If you have devices that can run only 32-bit versions of Windows 10, you will need to import both 64-bit and 32-bit versions of the Windows 10 editions listed above.
->**Note** On devices that have minimal system resources (such as devices with only 2 GB of memory or 32 GB of storage), use 32-bit versions of Windows 10 because 64-bit versions of Windows 10 place more stress on device system resources.

Finally, as a best practice, minimize the number of operating systems that you deploy and manage. If possible, standardize institution-owned devices on one Windows 10 edition (such as a 64-bit version of Windows 10 Education or Windows 10 Pro). Of course, you cannot standardize personal devices on a specific operating system version or processor architecture.

Offline licensing is a new licensing option for Windows 10 with Microsoft Store for Business and Microsoft Store for Education. With offline licenses, organizations can download apps and their licenses to deploy within their network, or on devices that are not connected to the Internet. ISVs or devs can opt-in their apps for offline licensing when they submit them to the Windows Dev Center. Only apps that are opted in to offline licensing will show that they are available for offline licensing in Microsoft Store for Business and Microsoft Store for Education.

## Overview
-This is a general troubleshooting of 802.1X wireless and wired clients. With 802.1X and wireless troubleshooting, it's important to know how the flow of authentication works, and then figuring out where it's breaking. It involves a lot of third party devices and software. Most of the time, we have to identify where the problem is, and another vendor has to fix it. Since we don't make access points or switches, it won't be an end-to-end Microsoft solution.

+la--- 1/4/2021 2:45 PM 2
+la--- 12/2/2020 6:27 PM 2701 results.xml
+```
+Each data gathering directive from the original `Collection` XML corresponds to a folder in the output. For example, if the first directive was HKLM\Software\Policies then folder `1` will contain the corresponding `export.reg` file.
+
+The `results.xml` file is the authoritative map to the output. It includes a status code for each directive. The order of the directives in the file corresponds to the order of the output folders. Using `results.xml` the administrator can see what data was gathered, what failures may have occurred, and which folders contain which output. For example, the following `results.xml` content indicates that registry export of HKLM\Software\Policies was successful and the data can be found in folder `1`. It also indicates that `netsh.exe wlan show profiles` command failed.
+
+```xml
+
+ 268b3056-8c15-47c6-a1bd-4bc257aef7b2
+ HKLM\Software\Policies
+ %windir%\system32\netsh.exe wlan show profiles
+
+```
+
+Administrators can apply automation to 'results.xml' to create their own preferred views of the data. For example, the following PowerShell one-liner extracts from the XML an ordered list of the directives with status code and details.
+```powershell
+Select-XML -Path results.xml -XPath '//RegistryKey | //Command | //Events | //FoldersFiles' | Foreach-Object -Begin {$i=1} -Process { [pscustomobject]@{DirectiveNumber=$i; DirectiveHRESULT=$_.Node.HRESULT; DirectiveInput=$_.Node.('#text')} ; $i++}
+```
+This example produces output similar to the following:
+```
+DirectiveNumber DirectiveHRESULT DirectiveInput
+--------------- ---------------- --------------
+ 1 0 HKLM\Software\Policies
+ 2 0 HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

+The next example extracts the zip archive into a customized flattened file structure. Each file name includes the directive number, HRESULT, and so on. This example could be customized to make different choices about what information to include in the file names and what formatting choices to make for special characters.

# Enroll a Windows 10 device automatically using Group Policy
-Starting in Windows 10, version 1709, you can use a Group Policy to trigger auto-enrollment to MDM for Active Directory (AD) domain-joined devices.
+Starting in Windows 10, version 1709, you can use a Group Policy to trigger auto-enrollment to MDM for Active Directory (AD) domain-joined devices.
The enrollment into Intune is triggered by a group policy created on your local AD and happens without any user interaction. This means you can automatically mass-enroll a large number of domain-joined corporate devices into Microsoft Intune. The enrollment process starts in the background once you sign in to the device with your Azure AD account.
Requirements:
- AD-joined PC running Windows 10, version 1709 or later
-- The enterprise has configured a mobile device management (MDM) service
-- The enterprise AD must be [registered with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)](azure-active-directory-integration-with-mdm.md)
+- The enterprise has configured a mobile device management (MDM) service
+- The on-premises AD must be [integrated with Azure AD (via Azure AD Connect)](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/architecture/reference-architectures/identity/azure-ad)
- The device should not already be enrolled in Intune using the classic agents (devices managed using agents will fail enrollment with `error 0x80180026`)
-- The minimum Windows Server version requirement is based on the Hybrid AAD join requirement. See [How to plan your hybrid Azure Active Directory join implementation](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/devices/hybrid-azuread-join-plan) for more information.

+ A resolution to this issue is to remove the registry key manually. If you do not know which registry key to remove, go for the key which displays most entries as the screenshot above. All other keys will display fewer entries as shown in the following screenshot:

# How Mobile Device Management Providers support eSIM Management on Windows
-The eSIM Profile Management Solution puts the Mobile Device Management (MDM) Provider in the front and center. The whole idea is to leverage an already existing solution that customers are familiar with and that they use to manage devices. The expectations from an MDM are that it will leverage the same sync mechanism that it uses for device policies to push any policy to the eSIM profile, and be able to use Groups and Users the same way. This way, the eSIM profile download and installation happens on the background and not impacting the end user. Similarly, the IT admin would use the same method of managing the eSIM profiles (Assignment/de-assignment, etc.) the same way as they currently do device management.

-- Contact mobile operators directly or contact orchestrator providers. Windows provides the capability for eSIM profiles to be managed by MDM providers in the case of enterprise use cases. However, Windows does not limit how ecosystem partners might want to offer this to their own partners and/or customers. As such, the eSIM profile management capability is something that can be supported by integrating with the Window OMA-DM. This makes it possible to remotely manage the eSIM profiles according to the company policies. Contact mobile operators directly or contact orchestrator providers.

# FileSystem CSP
-
The FileSystem configuration service provider is used to query, add, modify, and delete files, file directories, and file attributes on the mobile device. It can retrieve information about or manage files in ROM, files in persistent store and files on any removable storage card that is present in the device. It works for files that are hidden from the user as well as those that are visible to the user.

-
New topics. The Store for Business has a new web service designed for the enterprise to acquire, manage, and distribute applications in bulk. It enables several capabilities that are required for the enterprise to manage the lifecycle of applications from acquisition to updates.
-
-
-
Custom header for generic alert
-
The MDM-GenericAlert is a new custom header that hosts one or more alert information provided in the http messages sent by the device to the server during an OMA DM session. The generic alert is sent if the session is triggered by the device due to one or more critical or fatal alerts. Here is alert format:
-MDM-GenericAlert: <AlertType1><AlertType2>
-
If present, the MDM-GenericAlert is presented in every the outgoing MDM message in the same OMA DM session. For more information about generic alerts, see section 8.7 in the OMA Device Management Protocol, Approved Version 1.2.1 in this OMA website.
-
-
-
Alert message for slow client response
-
When the MDM server sends a configuration request, sometimes it takes the client longer than the HTTP timeout to get all information together and then the session ends unexpectedly due to timeout. By default, the MDM client does not send an alert that a DM request is pending.
-
To work around the timeout, you can use EnableOmaDmKeepAliveMessage setting to keep the session alive by sending a heartbeat message back to the server. This is achieved by sending a SyncML message with a specific device alert element in the body until the client is able to respond back to the server with the requested information. For details, see EnableOmaDmKeepAliveMessage node in the DMClient CSP.
-
-
-
New node in DMClient CSP
-
Added a new node EnableOmaDmKeepAliveMessage to the DMClient CSP and updated the ManagementServerAddress to indicate that it can contain a list of URLs.
Added support for Replace command for the DeviceName setting.
-
-
-
-
Handling large objects
-
Added support for the client to handle uploading of large objects to the server.

Entry | Description
--------------- | --------------------
What is dmwappushsvc? | It is a Windows service that ships in Windows 10 operating system as a part of the windows management platform. It is used internally by the operating system as a queue for categorizing and processing all WAP messages, which include Windows management messages, MMS, NabSync, and Service Indication/Service Loading (SI/SL). The service also initiates and orchestrates management sync sessions with the MDM server. |
-What data is handled by dmwappushsvc? | It is a component handling the internal workings of the management platform and involved in processing messages that have been received by the device remotely for management. The messages in the queue are serviced by another component that is also part of the Windows management stack to process messages. The service also routes and authenticates WAP messages received by the device to internal OS components that process them further: MMS, NabSync, SI/SL. |
-How do I turn if off? | The service can be stopped from the "Services" console on the device (Start > Run > services.msc). However, since this is a component part of the OS and required for the proper functioning of the device, we strongly recommend not to do this. |

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting determines if the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) peer caching feature is enabled on a specific computer. By default, the files in a BITS job are downloaded only from the origin server specified by the job's owner.
+
+If BITS peer caching is enabled, BITS caches downloaded files and makes them available to other BITS peers. When transferring a download job, BITS first requests the files for the job from its peers in the same IP subnet. If none of the peers in the subnet have the requested files, BITS downloads them from the origin server.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, BITS downloads files from peers, caches the files, and responds to content requests from peers. Using the "Do not allow the computer to act as a BITS peer caching server" and "Do not allow the computer to act as a BITS peer caching client" policy settings, it is possible to control BITS peer caching functionality at a more detailed level. However, it should be noted that the "Allow BITS peer caching" policy setting must be enabled for the other two policy settings to have any effect.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the BITS peer caching feature will be disabled, and BITS will download files directly from the origin server.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting limits the network bandwidth that BITS uses for peer cache transfers (this setting does not affect transfers from the origin server).
+
+To prevent any negative impact to a computer caused by serving other peers, by default BITS will use up to 30 percent of the bandwidth of the slowest active network interface. For example, if a computer has both a 100 Mbps network card and a 56 Kbps modem, and both are active, BITS will use a maximum of 30 percent of 56 Kbps.
+
+You can change the default behavior of BITS, and specify a fixed maximum bandwidth that BITS will use for peer caching.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, you can enter a value in bits per second (bps) between 1048576 and 4294967200 to use as the maximum network bandwidth used for peer caching.
+
+If you disable this policy setting or do not configure it, the default value of 30 percent of the slowest active network interface will be used.

This policy setting limits the network bandwidth that Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) uses for background transfers during the work and non-work days and hours. The work schedule is defined using a weekly calendar, which consists of days of the week and hours of the day. All hours and days that are not defined in a work schedule are considered non-work hours.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, you can set up a schedule for limiting network bandwidth during both work and non-work hours. After the work schedule is defined, you can set the bandwidth usage limits for each of the three BITS background priority levels: high, normal, and low.
+
+You can specify a limit to use for background jobs during a work schedule. For example, you can limit the network bandwidth of low priority jobs to 128 Kbps from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. on Monday through Friday, and then set the limit to 512 Kbps for non-work hours.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, BITS uses all available unused bandwidth for background job transfers.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting limits the number of BITS jobs that can be created by a user. By default, BITS limits the total number of jobs that can be created by a user to 60 jobs. You can use this setting to raise or lower the maximum number of BITS jobs a user can create.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, BITS will limit the maximum number of BITS jobs a user can create to the specified number.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, BITS will use the default user BITS job limit of 300 jobs.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This limit must be lower than the setting specified in the "Maximum number of BITS jobs for this computer" policy setting, or 300 if the "Maximum number of BITS jobs for this computer" policy setting is not configured. BITS jobs created by services and the local administrator account do not count toward this limit.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This setting allows you to display or hide specified Control Panel items, such as Mouse, System, or Personalization, from the Control Panel window and the Start screen. The setting affects the Start screen and Control Panel window, as well as other ways to access Control Panel items, such as shortcuts in Help and Support or command lines that use control.exe. This policy has no effect on items displayed in PC settings.
+
+If you enable this setting, you can select specific items not to display on the Control Panel window and the Start screen.
+
+To hide a Control Panel item, enable this policy setting and click Show to access the list of disallowed Control Panel items. In the Show Contents dialog box in the Value column, enter the Control Panel item's canonical name. For example, enter Microsoft.Mouse, Microsoft.System, or Microsoft.Personalization.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> For Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and earlier versions of Windows, the module name should be entered, for example timedate.cpl or inetcpl.cpl. If a Control Panel item does not have a CPL file, or the CPL file contains multiple applets, then its module name and string resource identification number should be entered, for example @systemcpl.dll,-1 for System, or @themecpl.dll,-1 for Personalization. A complete list of canonical and module names can be found in MSDN by searching "Control Panel items".
+
+If both the "Hide specified Control Panel items" setting and the "Show only specified Control Panel items" setting are enabled, the "Show only specified Control Panel items" setting is ignored.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The Display Control Panel item cannot be hidden in the Desktop context menu by using this setting. To hide the Display Control Panel item and prevent users from modifying the computer's display settings use the "Disable Display Control Panel" setting instead. Note: To hide pages in the System Settings app, use the "Settings Page Visibility" setting under Computer Configuration.

+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.

This setting allows administrators to restrict their users from seeing Computer in the shell namespace, allowing them to present their users with a simpler desktop environment.

+If you enable this setting, Computer is hidden on the desktop, the new Start menu, the Explorer folder tree pane, and the Explorer Web views. If the user manages to navigate to Computer, the folder will be empty.
+
+If you disable this setting, Computer is displayed as usual, appearing as normal on the desktop, Start menu, folder tree pane, and Web views, unless restricted by another setting.

A device is considered removable when the driver for the device to which it is connected indicates that the device is removable. For example, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device is reported to be removable by the drivers for the USB hub to which the device is connected. This policy setting takes precedence over any other policy setting that allows Windows to install a device.

+
+If you enable this policy setting, you can instruct Windows Error Reporting in the Default pull-down menu to report either all application errors (the default setting), or no application errors.
+
+If the Report all errors in Microsoft applications check box is filled, all errors in Microsoft applications are reported, regardless of the setting in the Default pull-down menu. When the Report all errors in Windows check box is filled, all errors in Windows applications are reported, regardless of the setting in the Default dropdown list. The Windows applications category is a subset of Microsoft applications.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users can enable or disable Windows Error Reporting in Control Panel. The default setting in Control Panel is Upload all applications.
+
+This policy setting is ignored if the Configure Error Reporting policy setting is disabled or not configured.
+
+For related information, see the Configure Error Reporting and Report Operating System Errors policy settings.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting controls Windows Error Reporting behavior for errors in general applications when Windows Error Reporting is turned on.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, you can create a list of applications that are never included in error reports. 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). File names must always include the .exe file name extension. 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.

+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.

+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.

+
+Automatic learning enables the collection and storage of text and ink written by the user in order to help adapt handwriting recognition to the vocabulary and handwriting style of the user. Text that is collected includes all outgoing messages in Windows Mail, and MAPI enabled email clients, as well as URLs from the Internet Explorer browser history. The information that is stored includes word frequency and new words not already known to the handwriting recognition engines (for example, proper names and acronyms). Deleting email content or the browser history does not delete the stored personalization data. Ink entered through Input Panel is collected and stored.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Automatic learning of both text and ink might not be available for all languages, even when handwriting personalization is available. See Tablet PC Help for more information.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, automatic learning stops and any stored data is deleted. Users cannot configure this setting in Control Panel.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, automatic learning is turned on. Users cannot configure this policy setting in Control Panel. Collected data is only used for handwriting recognition, if handwriting personalization is turned on.
+
+If you do not configure this policy, users can choose to enable or disable automatic learning either from the Handwriting tab in the Tablet Settings in Control Panel or from the opt-in dialog.
+
+This policy setting is related to the "Turn off handwriting personalization" policy setting.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The amount of stored ink is limited to 50 MB and the amount of text information to approximately 5 MB. When these limits are reached and new data is collected, old data is deleted to make room for more recent data.

+Any existing overrides in place when this policy is enabled will be frozen. To remove existing user overrides, first reset the user(s) values to the defaults and then apply this policy.
+
+When this policy setting is enabled, users can still choose alternate locales installed on the system unless prevented by other policies, however, they will be unable to customize those choices.
+
+The user cannot customize their user locale with user overrides.
+
+If this policy setting is disabled or not configured, then the user can customize their user locale overrides.
+
+If this policy is set to Enabled at the computer level, then it cannot be disabled by a per-User policy. If this policy is set to Disabled at the computer level, then the per-User policy will be ignored. If this policy is set to Not Configured at the computer level, then restrictions will be based on per-User policies.
+
+To set this policy on a per-user basis, make sure that the per-computer policy is set to Not Configured.

+
+This policy setting affects only the programs that use this Windows feature to interpret two-digit years. If a program does not interpret two-digit years correctly, consult the documentation or manufacturer of the program.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, the system specifies the largest two-digit year interpreted as being preceded by 20. All numbers less than or equal to the specified value are interpreted as being preceded by 20. All numbers greater than the specified value are interpreted as being preceded by 19.
+
+For example, the default value, 2029, specifies that all two-digit years less than or equal to 29 (00 to 29) are interpreted as being preceded by 20, that is 2000 to 2029. Conversely, all two-digit years greater than 29 (30 to 99) are interpreted as being preceded by 19, that is, 1930 to 1999.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows does not interpret two-digit year formats using this scheme for the program.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting allows user-based policy processing, roaming user profiles, and user object logon scripts for interactive logons across forests.
+
+This policy setting affects all user accounts that interactively log on to a computer in a different forest when a trust across forests or a two-way forest trust exists.
+
+If you do not configure this policy setting:
+
+- No user-based policy settings are applied from the user's forest.
+- Users do not receive their roaming profiles; they receive a local profile on the computer from the local forest. A warning message appears to the user, and an event log message (1529) is posted.
+- Loopback Group Policy processing is applied, using the Group Policy Objects (GPOs) that are scoped to the computer.
+- An event log message (1109) is posted, stating that loopback was invoked in Replace mode.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, the behavior is exactly the same as in Windows 2000: user policy is applied, and a roaming user profile is allowed from the trusted forest.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, the behavior is the same as if it is not configured.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting determines when folder redirection policies are updated.
+
+This policy setting affects all policies that use the folder redirection component of Group Policy, such as those in WindowsSettings\Folder Redirection. You can only set folder redirection policy for Group Policy objects, stored in Active Directory, not for Group Policy objects on the local computer.
+
+This policy setting overrides customized settings that the program implementing the folder redirection policy setting set when it was installed.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, you can use the check boxes provided to change the options. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, it has no effect on the system.
+
+The "Allow processing across a slow network connection" option updates the policies even when the update is being transmitted across a slow network connection, such as a telephone line. Updates across slow connections can cause significant delays.
+
+The "Process even if the Group Policy objects have not changed" option updates and reapplies the policies even if the policies have not changed. Many policy implementations specify that they are updated only when changed. However, you might want to update unchanged policies, such as reapplying a desired setting in case a user has changed it.

+
+Administrators might want to use this if they are concerned about the amount of space used on the system volume of a DC.
+
+By default, when you start the Group Policy Object Editor, a timestamp comparison is performed on the source files in the local %SYSTEMROOT%\inf directory and the source files stored in the GPO.
+
+If the local files are newer, they are copied into the GPO.
+
+Changing the status of this setting to Enabled will keep any source files from copying to the GPO.
+
+Changing the status of this setting to Disabled will enforce the default behavior.
+
+Files will always be copied to the GPO if they have a later timestamp.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If the Computer Configuration policy setting, "Always use local ADM files for the Group Policy Object Editor" is enabled, the state of this setting is ignored and always treated as Enabled.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting allows you to configure Group Policy caching behavior.
+
+If you enable or do not configure this policy setting, Group Policy caches policy information after every background processing session. This cache saves applicable GPOs and the settings contained within them. When Group Policy runs in synchronous foreground mode, it refers to this cache, which enables it to run faster. When the cache is read, Group Policy attempts to contact a logon domain controller to determine the link speed. When Group Policy runs in background mode or asynchronous foreground mode, it continues to download the latest version of the policy information, and it uses a bandwidth estimate to determine slow link thresholds. (See the “Configure Group Policy Slow Link Detection” policy setting to configure asynchronous foreground behavior.)
+
+The slow link value that is defined in this policy setting determines how long Group Policy will wait for a response from the domain controller before reporting the link speed as slow. The default is 500 milliseconds.
+
+The timeout value that is defined in this policy setting determines how long Group Policy will wait for a response from the domain controller before determining that there is no network connectivity. This stops the current Group Policy processing. Group Policy will run in the background the next time a connection to a domain controller is established. Setting this value too high might result in longer waits for the user at boot or logon. The default is 5000 milliseconds.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, the Group Policy client will not cache applicable GPOs or settings that are contained within the GPOs. When Group Policy runs synchronously, it downloads the latest version of the policy from the network and uses bandwidth estimates to determine slow link thresholds. (See the “Configure Group Policy Slow Link Detection” policy setting to configure asynchronous foreground behavior.)

+
+A Group Policy administration (.adm) file can contain both true settings and preferences. True settings, which are fully supported by Group Policy, must use registry entries in the Software\Policies or Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies registry subkeys. Preferences, which are not fully supported, use registry entries in other subkeys.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, the "Show Policies Only" command is turned on, and administrators cannot turn it off. As a result, Group Policy Object Editor displays only true settings; preferences do not appear.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the "Show Policies Only" command is turned on by default, but administrators can view preferences by turning off the "Show Policies Only" command.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> To find the "Show Policies Only" command, in Group Policy Object Editor, click the Administrative Templates folder (either one), right-click the same folder, and then point to "View."
+
+In Group Policy Object Editor, preferences have a red icon to distinguish them from true settings, which have a blue icon.

+
+If you enable this setting, you can which domain controller is used according to these options:
+
+"Use the Primary Domain Controller" indicates that the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in reads and writes changes to the domain controller designated as the PDC Operations Master for the domain.
+
+"Inherit from Active Directory Snap-ins" indicates that the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in reads and writes changes to the domain controller that Active Directory Users and Computers or Active Directory Sites and Services snap-ins use.
+
+"Use any available domain controller" indicates that the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in can read and write changes to any available domain controller.
+
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in uses the domain controller designated as the PDC Operations Master for the domain.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> To change the PDC Operations Master for a domain, in Active Directory Users and Computers, right-click a domain, and then click "Operations Masters."

+If the rate at which data is transferred from the domain controller providing a policy update to the computers in this group is slower than the rate specified by this setting, the system considers the connection to be slow.
+
+The system's response to a slow policy connection varies among policies. The program implementing the policy can specify the response to a slow link. Also, the policy processing settings in this folder lets you override the programs' specified responses to slow links.
+
+If you enable this setting, you can, in the "Connection speed" box, type a decimal number between 0 and 4,294,967,200, indicating a transfer rate in kilobits per second. Any connection slower than this rate is considered to be slow. If you type 0, all connections are considered to be fast.
+
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the system uses the default value of 500 kilobits per second.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting specifies how often Group Policy for computers is updated while the computer is in use (in the background). This setting specifies a background update rate only for Group Policies in the Computer Configuration folder.
+
+In addition to background updates, Group Policy for the computer is always updated when the system starts.
+
+By default, computer Group Policy is updated in the background every 90 minutes, with a random offset of 0 to 30 minutes.
+
+If you enable this setting, you can specify an update rate from 0 to 64,800 minutes (45 days). If you select 0 minutes, the computer tries to update Group Policy every 7 seconds. However, because updates might interfere with users' work and increase network traffic, very short update intervals are not appropriate for most installations.
+
+If you disable this setting, Group Policy is updated every 90 minutes (the default). To specify that Group Policy should never be updated while the computer is in use, select the "Turn off background refresh of Group Policy" policy.
+
+The Set Group Policy refresh interval for computers policy also lets you specify how much the actual update interval varies. To prevent clients with the same update interval from requesting updates simultaneously, the system varies the update interval for each client by a random number of minutes. The number you type in the random time box sets the upper limit for the range of variance. For example, if you type 30 minutes, the system selects a variance of 0 to 30 minutes. Typing a large number establishes a broad range and makes it less likely that client requests overlap. However, updates might be delayed significantly.
+
+This setting establishes the update rate for computer Group Policy. To set an update rate for user policies, use the "Set Group Policy refresh interval for users" setting (located in User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy).
+
+This setting is only used when the "Turn off background refresh of Group Policy" setting is not enabled.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Consider notifying users that their policy is updated periodically so that they recognize the signs of a policy update. When Group Policy is updated, the Windows desktop is refreshed; it flickers briefly and closes open menus.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting lets you always use local ADM files for the Group Policy snap-in.
+
+By default, when you edit a Group Policy Object (GPO) using the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in, the ADM files are loaded from that GPO into the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in. This allows you to use the same version of the ADM files that were used to create the GPO while editing this GPO.
+
+This leads to the following behavior:
+
+- If you originally created the GPO with, for example, an English system, the GPO contains English ADM files.
+
+- If you later edit the GPO from a different-language system, you get the English ADM files as they were in the GPO.
+
+You can change this behavior by using this setting.
+
+If you enable this setting, the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in always uses local ADM files in your %windir%\inf directory when editing GPOs.
+
+This leads to the following behavior:
+
+- If you had originally created the GPO with an English system, and then you edit the GPO with a Japanese system, the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in uses the local Japanese ADM files, and you see the text in Japanese under Administrative Templates.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this setting, the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in always loads all ADM files from the actual GPO.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If the ADMs that you require are not all available locally in your %windir%\inf directory, you might not be able to see all the settings that have been configured in the GPO that you are editing.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This security feature provides a means to override individual process MitigationOptions settings. This can be used to enforce a number of security policies specific to applications. The application name is specified as the Value name, including extension. The Value is specified as a bit field with a series of flags in particular positions. Bits can be set to either 0 (setting is forced off), 1 (setting is forced on), or ? (setting retains its existing value prior to GPO evaluation). The recognized bit locations are:
+
+PROCESS_CREATION_MITIGATION_POLICY_DEP_ENABLE (0x00000001)
+Enables data execution prevention (DEP) for the child process
+
+PROCESS_CREATION_MITIGATION_POLICY_DEP_ATL_THUNK_ENABLE (0x00000002)
+Enables DEP-ATL thunk emulation for the child process. DEP-ATL thunk emulation causes the system to intercept NX faults that originate from the Active Template Library (ATL) thunk layer.
+
+PROCESS_CREATION_MITIGATION_POLICY_SEHOP_ENABLE (0x00000004)
+Enables structured exception handler overwrite protection (SEHOP) for the child process. SEHOP blocks exploits that use the structured exception handler (SEH) overwrite technique.
+
+PROCESS_CREATION_MITIGATION_POLICY_FORCE_RELOCATE_IMAGES_ALWAYS_ON (0x00000100)
+The force Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) policy forcibly rebases images that are not dynamic base compatible by acting as though an image base collision happened at load time. If relocations are required, images that do not have a base relocation section will not be loaded.
+
+PROCESS_CREATION_MITIGATION_POLICY_BOTTOM_UP_ASLR_ALWAYS_ON (0x00010000)
+PROCESS_CREATION_MITIGATION_POLICY_BOTTOM_UP_ASLR_ALWAYS_OFF (0x00020000)
+The bottom-up randomization policy, which includes stack randomization options, causes a random location to be used as the lowest user address.
+
+For instance, to enable PROCESS_CREATION_MITIGATION_POLICY_DEP_ENABLE and PROCESS_CREATION_MITIGATION_POLICY_FORCE_RELOCATE_IMAGES_ALWAYS_ON, disable PROCESS_CREATION_MITIGATION_POLICY_BOTTOM_UP_ASLR_ALWAYS_OFF, and to leave all other options at their default values, specify a value of:
+???????????????0???????1???????1
+
+Setting flags not specified here to any value other than ? results in undefined behavior.

+
+When Group Policy detects the bandwidth speed of a Direct Access connection, the detection can sometimes fail to provide any bandwidth speed information. If Group Policy detects a bandwidth speed, Group Policy will follow the normal rules for evaluating if the Direct Access connection is a fast or slow network connection. If no bandwidth speed is detected, Group Policy will default to a slow network connection. This policy setting allows the administrator the option to override the default to slow network connection and instead default to using a fast network connection in the case that no network bandwidth speed is determined.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> When Group Policy detects a slow network connection, Group Policy will only process those client side extensions configured for processing across a slow link (slow network connection).
+
+If you enable this policy, when Group Policy cannot determine the bandwidth speed across Direct Access, Group Policy will evaluate the network connection as a fast link and process all client side extensions.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy directs Group Policy processing to skip processing any client side extension that requires synchronous processing (that is, whether computers wait for the network to be fully initialized during computer startup and user logon) when a slow network connection is detected.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, when a slow network connection is detected, Group Policy processing will always run in an asynchronous manner.
+Client computers will not wait for the network to be fully initialized at startup and logon. Existing users will be logged on using cached credentials,
+which will result in shorter logon times. Group Policy will be applied in the background after the network becomes available.
+Note that because this is a background refresh, extensions requiring synchronous processing such as Software Installation, Folder Redirection
+and Drive Maps preference extension will not be applied.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> There are two conditions that will cause Group Policy to be processed synchronously even if this policy setting is enabled:
+>
+> - 1 - At the first computer startup after the client computer has joined the domain.
+> - 2 - If the policy setting "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" is enabled.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, detecting a slow network connection will not affect whether Group Policy processing will be synchronous or asynchronous.

This policy setting directs the system to apply the set of Group Policy objects for the computer to any user who logs on to a computer affected by this setting. It is intended for special-use computers, such as those in public places, laboratories, and classrooms, where you must modify the user setting based on the computer that is being used.
+
+By default, the user's Group Policy Objects determine which user settings apply. If this setting is enabled, then, when a user logs on to this computer, the computer's Group Policy Objects determine which set of Group Policy Objects applies.
+
+If you enable this setting, you can select one of the following modes from the Mode box:
+
+"Replace" indicates that the user settings defined in the computer's Group Policy Objects replace the user settings normally applied to the user.
+
+"Merge" indicates that the user settings defined in the computer's Group Policy Objects and the user settings normally applied to the user are combined. If the settings conflict, the user settings in the computer's Group Policy Objects take precedence over the user's normal settings.
+
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the user's Group Policy Objects determines which user settings apply.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting specifies whether to automatically update root certificates using the Windows Update website.
+
+Typically, a certificate is used when you use a secure website or when you send and receive secure email. Anyone can issue certificates, but to have transactions that are as secure as possible, certificates must be issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA). Microsoft has included a list in Windows XP and other products of companies and organizations that it considers trusted authorities.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, when you are presented with a certificate issued by an untrusted root authority, your computer will not contact the Windows Update website to see if Microsoft has added the CA to its list of trusted authorities.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, your computer will contact the Windows Update website.

+
+If you enable this policy setting, cipher suites are prioritized in the order specified.
+
+If you enable this policy setting and do not specify at least one supported cipher suite, or if you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the default cipher suite order is used.
+
+SMB 3.11 cipher suites:
+
+- AES_128_GCM
+- AES_128_CCM
+- AES_256_GCM
+- AES_256_CCM
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> AES_256 is not supported on Windows 10 version 20H2 and lower. If you enter only AES_256 crypto lines, the older clients will not be able to connect anymore.
+
+SMB 3.0 and 3.02 cipher suites:
+
+- AES_128_CCM
+
+How to modify this setting:
+
+Arrange the desired cipher suites in the edit box, one cipher suite per line, in order from most to least preferred, with the most preferred cipher suite at the top. Remove any cipher suites you don't want to use.

+
+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting determines whether Group Policy processing is synchronous (that is, whether computers wait for the network to be fully initialized during computer startup and user logon). By default, on client computers, Group Policy processing is not synchronous; client computers typically do not wait for the network to be fully initialized at startup and logon. Existing users are logged on using cached credentials, which results in shorter logon times. Group Policy is applied in the background after the network becomes available.
+
+Note that because this is a background refresh, extensions such as Software Installation and Folder Redirection take two logons to apply changes. To be able to operate safely, these extensions require that no users be logged on. Therefore, they must be processed in the foreground before users are actively using the computer. In addition, changes that are made to the user object, such as adding a roaming profile path, home directory, or user object logon script, may take up to two logons to be detected.
+
+If a user with a roaming profile, home directory, or user object logon script logs on to a computer, computers always wait for the network to be initialized before logging the user on. If a user has never logged on to this computer before, computers always wait for the network to be initialized.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, computers wait for the network to be fully initialized before users are logged on. Group Policy is applied in the foreground, synchronously.
+
+On servers running Windows Server 2008 or later, this policy setting is ignored during Group Policy processing at computer startup and Group Policy processing will be synchronous (these servers wait for the network to be initialized during computer startup).
+
+If the server is configured as follows, this policy setting takes effect during Group Policy processing at user logon:
+
+- The server is configured as a terminal server (that is, the Terminal Server role service is installed and configured on the server); and
+- The “Allow asynchronous user Group Policy processing when logging on through Terminal Services” policy setting is enabled. This policy setting is located under Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative templates\System\Group Policy\\.
+
+If this configuration is not implemented on the server, this policy setting is ignored. In this case, Group Policy processing at user logon is synchronous (these servers wait for the network to be initialized during user logon).
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting and users log on to a client computer or a server running Windows Server 2008 or later and that is configured as described earlier, the computer typically does not wait for the network to be fully initialized. In this case, users are logged on with cached credentials. Group Policy is applied asynchronously in the background.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+>
+> - If you want to guarantee the application of Folder Redirection, Software Installation, or roaming user profile settings in just one logon, enable this policy setting to ensure that Windows waits for the network to be available before applying policy.
+> - If Folder Redirection policy will apply during the next logon, security policies will be applied asynchronously during the next update cycle, if network connectivity is available.

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.
+
+If you enable or do not configure this setting, definition retirement will be enabled.
+
+If you disable this setting, definition retirement will be disabled.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting allows you to configure reparse point scanning. If you allow reparse points to be scanned, there is a possible risk of recursion. However, the engine supports following reparse points to a maximum depth so at worst scanning could be slowed. Reparse point scanning is disabled by default and this is the recommended state for this functionality.
+
+If you enable this setting, reparse point scanning will be enabled.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this setting, reparse point scanning will be disabled.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting allows you to join Microsoft MAPS. Microsoft MAPS is the online community that helps you choose how to respond to potential threats. The community also helps stop the spread of new malicious software infections.
+
+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.

+
+If you enable this setting AM UI won't be available to users.
+
+
+> [!TIP]
+> This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
+>
+> You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to [Enabling a policy](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md#enabling-a-policy).
+>
+> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting allows you to configure Automatic Maintenance activation boundary. The maintenance activation boundary is the daily scheduled time at which Automatic Maintenance starts.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, this will override the default daily scheduled time as specified in Security and Maintenance/Automatic Maintenance Control Panel.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the daily scheduled time as specified in Security and Maintenance/Automatic Maintenance Control Panel will apply.
+
+
+> [!TIP]
+> This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
+>
+> You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to [Enabling a policy](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md#enabling-a-policy).
+>
+> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).

+
+If you enable this policy setting for local and remote troubleshooting, MSDT always prompts for additional tool downloading.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, MSDT never downloads tools, and is unable to diagnose problems on remote computers.
+
+If you do not configure this policy setting, MSDT prompts the user before downloading any additional tools. No reboots or service restarts are required for this policy setting to take effect. Changes take effect immediately.
+
+This policy setting will take effect only when MSDT is enabled.

+If you enable this policy setting, updates cannot be removed from the computer by a user or an administrator. The Windows Installer can still remove an update that is no longer applicable to the product.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, a user can remove an update from the computer only if the user has been granted privileges to remove the update. This can depend on whether the user is an administrator, whether "Disable Windows Installer" and "Always install with elevated privileges" policy settings are set, and whether the update was installed in a per-user managed, per-user unmanaged, or per-machine context."

+(1) Remove a component from a feature.
+This can also occur if you change the GUID of a component. The component identified by the original GUID appears to be removed and the component as identified by the new GUID appears as a new component.
+
+(2) Add a new feature to the top or middle of an existing feature tree.
+The new feature must be added as a new leaf feature to an existing feature tree.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the Windows Installer will use less restrictive rules for component upgrades.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy controls the percentage of disk space available to the Windows Installer baseline file cache.
+
+The Windows Installer uses the baseline file cache to save baseline files modified by binary delta difference updates. The cache is used to retrieve the baseline file for future updates. The cache eliminates user prompts for source media when new updates are applied.
+
+If you enable this policy setting you can modify the maximum size of the Windows Installer baseline file cache.
+
+If you set the baseline cache size to 0, the Windows Installer will stop populating the baseline cache for new updates. The existing cached files will remain on disk and will be deleted when the product is removed.

By default, Net Logon will not allow the older cryptography algorithms to be used and will not include them in the negotiation of cryptography algorithms. Therefore, computers running Windows NT 4.0 will not be able to establish a connection to this domain controller.

If DNS-based discovery fails and the NetBIOS domain name is known, the algorithm then uses NetBIOS-based discovery as a fallback mechanism.
NetBIOS-based discovery uses a WINS server and mailslot messages but does not use site information. Hence it does not ensure that clients will discover the closest DC. It also allows a hub-site client to discover a branch-site DC even if the branch-site DC only registers site-specific DNS records (as recommended). For these reasons, NetBIOS-based discovery is not recommended.

The Domain Controller Locator (DC Locator) service is used by clients to find domain controllers for their Active Directory domain. When DC Locator finds a domain controller, it caches domain controllers to improve the efficiency of the location algorithm. As long as the cached domain controller meets the requirements and is running, DC Locator will continue to return it. If a new domain controller is introduced, existing clients will only discover it when a Force Rediscovery is carried out by DC Locator. To adapt to changes in network conditions DC Locator will by default carry out a Force Rediscovery according to a specific time interval and maintain efficient load-balancing of clients across all available domain controllers in all domains or forests. The default time interval for Force Rediscovery by DC Locator is 12 hours. Force Rediscovery can also be triggered if a call to DC Locator uses the DS_FORCE_REDISCOVERY flag. Rediscovery resets the timer on the cached domain controller entries.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting determines whether users can configure advanced TCP/IP settings.
+
+If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the Advanced button on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box is disabled for all users (including administrators). As a result, users cannot open the Advanced TCP/IP Settings Properties page and modify IP settings, such as DNS and WINS server information.
+
+If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
+
+If you disable this setting, the Advanced button is enabled, and all users can open the Advanced TCP/IP Setting dialog box.
+
+This setting is superseded by settings that prohibit access to properties of connections or connection components. When these policies are set to deny access to the connection properties dialog box or Properties button for connection components, users cannot gain access to the Advanced button for TCP/IP configuration.
+
+Changing this setting from Enabled to Not Configured does not enable the Advanced button until the user logs off.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Nonadministrators (excluding Network Configuration Operators) do not have permission to access TCP/IP advanced configuration for a LAN connection, regardless of this setting.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> To open the Advanced TCP/IP Setting dialog box, in the Network Connections folder, right-click a connection icon, and click Properties. For remote access connections, click the Networking tab. In the "Components checked are used by this connection" box, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click the Properties button, and then click the Advanced button.

+
+The set of Network Connections group settings that existed in Windows 2000 Professional also exists in Windows XP Professional. In Windows 2000 Professional, all of these settings had the ability to prohibit the use of certain features from Administrators.
+
+By default, Network Connections group settings in Windows XP Professional do not have the ability to prohibit the use of features from Administrators.
+
+If you enable this setting, the Windows XP settings that existed in Windows 2000 Professional will have the ability to prohibit Administrators from using certain features. These settings are "Ability to rename LAN connections or remote access connections available to all users", "Prohibit access to properties of components of a LAN connection", "Prohibit access to properties of components of a remote access connection", "Ability to access TCP/IP advanced configuration", "Prohibit access to the Advanced Settings Item on the Advanced Menu", "Prohibit adding and removing components for a LAN or remote access connection", "Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection", "Prohibit Enabling/Disabling components of a LAN connection", "Ability to change properties of an all user remote access connection", "Prohibit changing properties of a private remote access connection", "Prohibit deletion of remote access connections", "Ability to delete all user remote access connections", "Prohibit connecting and disconnecting a remote access connection", "Ability to Enable/Disable a LAN connection", "Prohibit access to the New Connection Wizard", "Prohibit renaming private remote access connections", "Prohibit access to the Remote Access Preferences item on the Advanced menu", "Prohibit viewing of status for an active connection". When this setting is enabled, settings that exist in both Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional behave the same for administrators.
+
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it, Windows XP settings that existed in Windows 2000 will not apply to administrators.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This setting is intended to be used in a situation in which the Group Policy object that these settings are being applied to contains both Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional computers, and identical Network Connections policy behavior is required between all Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional computers.

This policy setting allows you to manage whether notifications are shown to the user when a DHCP-configured connection is unable to retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server. This is often signified by the assignment of an automatic private IP address"(i.e. an IP address in the range 169.254.*.*). This indicates that a DHCP server could not be reached or the DHCP server was reached but unable to respond to the request with a valid IP address. By default, a notification is displayed providing the user with information on how the problem can be resolved.

+> This setting is location aware. It only applies when a computer is connected to the same DNS domain network it was connected to when the setting was refreshed on that computer. If a computer is connected to a DNS domain network other than the one it was connected to when the setting was refreshed, this setting does not apply.
+
+The Internet Connection Firewall is a stateful packet filter for home and small office users to protect them from Internet network security threats.
+
+If you enable this setting, Internet Connection Firewall cannot be enabled or configured by users (including administrators), and the Internet Connection Firewall service cannot run on the computer. The option to enable the Internet Connection Firewall through the Advanced tab is removed. In addition, the Internet Connection Firewall is not enabled for remote access connections created through the Make New Connection Wizard. The Network Setup Wizard is disabled.
+
+If you enable the "Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections" policy setting, the "Prohibit use of Internet Connection Firewall on your DNS domain network" policy setting has no effect on computers that are running Windows Firewall, which replaces Internet Connection Firewall when you install Windows XP Service Pack 2.
+
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Internet Connection Firewall is disabled when a LAN Connection or VPN connection is created, but users can use the Advanced tab in the connection properties to enable it. The Internet Connection Firewall is enabled by default on the connection for which Internet Connection Sharing is enabled. In addition, remote access connections created through the Make New Connection Wizard have the Internet Connection Firewall enabled.

+
+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting determines whether administrators can enable and configure the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) feature of an Internet connection and if the ICS service can run on the computer.
+
+ICS lets administrators configure their system as an Internet gateway for a small network and provides network services, such as name resolution and addressing through DHCP, to the local private network.
+
+If you enable this setting, ICS cannot be enabled or configured by administrators, and the ICS service cannot run on the computer. The Advanced tab in the Properties dialog box for a LAN or remote access connection is removed. The Internet Connection Sharing page is removed from the New Connection Wizard. The Network Setup Wizard is disabled.
+
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it and have two or more connections, administrators can enable ICS. The Advanced tab in the properties dialog box for a LAN or remote access connection is available. In addition, the user is presented with the option to enable Internet Connection Sharing in the Network Setup Wizard and Make New Connection Wizard. (The Network Setup Wizard is available only in Windows XP Professional.)
+
+By default, ICS is disabled when you create a remote access connection, but administrators can use the Advanced tab to enable it. When running the New Connection Wizard or Network Setup Wizard, administrators can choose to enable ICS.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Internet Connection Sharing is only available when two or more network connections are present.
+
+When the "Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection," "Ability to change properties of an all user remote access connection," or "Prohibit changing properties of a private remote access connection" settings are set to deny access to the Connection Properties dialog box, the Advanced tab for the connection is blocked.
+
+Nonadministrators are already prohibited from configuring Internet Connection Sharing, regardless of this setting.
+
+Disabling this setting does not prevent Wireless Hosted Networking from using the ICS service for DHCP services. To prevent the ICS service from running, on the Network Permissions tab in the network's policy properties, select the "Don't use hosted networks" check box.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting allows you to turn on logging for Windows PowerShell modules.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, pipeline execution events for members of the specified modules are recorded in the Windows PowerShell log in Event Viewer. Enabling this policy setting for a module is equivalent to setting the LogPipelineExecutionDetails property of the module to True.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, logging of execution events is disabled for all Windows PowerShell modules. Disabling this policy setting for a module is equivalent to setting the LogPipelineExecutionDetails property of the module to False. If this policy setting is not configured, the LogPipelineExecutionDetails property of a module or snap-in determines whether the execution events of a module or snap-in are logged. By default, the LogPipelineExecutionDetails property of all modules and snap-ins is set to False.
+
+To add modules and snap-ins to the policy setting list, click Show, and then type the module names in the list. The modules and snap-ins in the list must be installed on the computer.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This policy setting exists under both Computer Configuration and User Configuration in the Group Policy Editor. The Computer Configuration policy setting takes precedence over the User Configuration policy setting.
+
+
+> [!TIP]
+> This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).

+
+If you enable this policy setting, the scripts selected in the drop-down list are allowed to run. The "Allow only signed scripts" policy setting allows scripts to execute only if they are signed by a trusted publisher.
+
+The "Allow local scripts and remote signed scripts" policy setting allows any local scripts to run; scripts that originate from the Internet must be signed by a trusted publisher. The "Allow all scripts" policy setting allows all scripts to run.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, no scripts are allowed to run.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This policy setting exists under both "Computer Configuration" and "User Configuration" in the Local Group Policy Editor. The "Computer Configuration" has precedence over "User Configuration." If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, it reverts to a per-machine preference setting; the default if that is not configured is "No scripts allowed."

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting lets you capture the input and output of Windows PowerShell commands into text-based transcripts.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, Windows PowerShell will enable transcripting for Windows PowerShell, the Windows PowerShell ISE, and any other applications that leverage the Windows PowerShell engine. By default, Windows PowerShell will record transcript output to each users' My Documents directory, with a file name that includes 'PowerShell_transcript', along with the computer name and time started. Enabling this policy is equivalent to calling the Start-Transcript cmdlet on each Windows PowerShell session.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, transcripting of PowerShell-based applications is disabled by default, although transcripting can still be enabled through the Start-Transcript cmdlet.
+
+If you use the OutputDirectory setting to enable transcript logging to a shared location, be sure to limit access to that directory to prevent users from viewing the transcripts of other users or computers.

+
+If you enable this policy setting, Internet printing is activated on this server.
+
+If you disable this policy setting or do not configure it, Internet printing is not activated.
+
+Internet printing is an extension of Internet Information Services (IIS). To use Internet printing, IIS must be installed, and printing support and this setting must be enabled.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This setting affects the server side of Internet printing only. It does not prevent the print client on the computer from printing across the Internet.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. Determines if print driver components are isolated from applications instead of normally loading them into applications. Isolating print drivers greatly reduces the risk of a print driver failure causing an application crash.
+
+Not all applications support driver isolation. By default, Microsoft Excel 2007, Excel 2010, Word 2007, Word 2010 and certain other applications are configured to support it. Other applications may also be capable of isolating print drivers, depending on whether they are configured for it.
+
+If you enable or do not configure this policy setting, then applications that are configured to support driver isolation will be isolated.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, then print drivers will be loaded within all associated application processes.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> - This policy setting applies only to applications opted into isolation.
+> - This policy setting applies only to print drivers loaded by applications. Print drivers loaded by the print spooler are not affected.

+
+If you enable this policy setting, the client computer will continue to search for compatible Point and Print drivers from Windows Update after it fails to find the compatible driver from the local driver store and the server driver cache.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, the client computer will only search the local driver store and server driver cache for compatible Point and Print drivers. If it is unable to find a compatible driver, then the Point and Print connection will fail.
+
+This policy setting is not configured by default, and the behavior depends on the version of Windows that you are using.
+
+By default, Windows Ultimate, Professional and Home SKUs will continue to search for compatible Point and Print drivers from Windows Update, if needed. However, you must explicitly enable this policy setting for other versions of Windows (for example Windows Enterprise, and all versions of Windows Server 2008 R2 and later) to have the same behavior.

If you enable this policy setting, it sets the maximum number of printers (of each type) that the Add Printer wizard will display on a computer on a managed network (when the computer is able to reach a domain controller, e.g. a domain-joined laptop on a corporate network.)
+
+If this policy setting is disabled, the network scan page will not be displayed.
+
+If this policy setting is not configured, the Add Printer wizard will display the default number of printers of each type:
+
+- Directory printers: 20
+- TCP/IP printers: 0
+- Web Services printers: 0
+- Bluetooth printers: 10
+- Shared printers: 0
+
+In order to view available Web Services printers on your network, ensure that network discovery is turned on. To turn on network discovery, click "Start", click "Control Panel", and then click "Network and Internet". On the "Network and Internet" page, click "Network and Sharing Center". On the Network and Sharing Center page, click "Change advanced sharing settings". On the Advanced sharing settings page, click the arrow next to "Domain" arrow, click "turn on network discovery", and then click "Save changes".
+
+If you would like to not display printers of a certain type, enable this policy and set the number of printers to display to 0.
+
+In Windows 10 and later, only TCP/IP printers can be shown in the wizard. If you enable this policy setting, only TCP/IP printer limits are applicable. On Windows 10 only, if you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the default limit is applied.
+
+In Windows 8 and later, Bluetooth printers are not shown so its limit does not apply to those versions of Windows.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. When printing through a print server, determines whether the print spooler on the client will process print jobs itself, or pass them on to the server to do the work.
+
+This policy setting only effects printing to a Windows print server.
+
+If you enable this policy setting on a client machine, the client spooler will not process print jobs before sending them to the print server. This decreases the workload on the client at the expense of increasing the load on the server.
+
+If you disable this policy setting on a client machine, the client itself will process print jobs into printer device commands. These commands will then be sent to the print server, and the server will simply pass the commands to the printer. This increases the workload of the client while decreasing the load on the server.
+
+If you do not enable this policy setting, the behavior is the same as disabling it.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This policy does not determine whether offline printing will be available to the client. The client print spooler can always queue print jobs when not connected to the print server. Upon reconnecting to the server, the client will submit any pending print jobs.
+>
+> Some printer drivers require a custom print processor. In some cases the custom print processor may not be installed on the client machine, such as when the print server does not support transferring print processors during point-and-print. In the case of a print processor mismatch, the client spooler will always send jobs to the print server for rendering. Disabling the above policy setting does not override this behavior.
+>
+> In cases where the client print driver does not match the server print driver (mismatched connection), the client will always process the print job, regardless of the setting of this policy.

+You can use this setting to direct users to a Web page from which they can install printers.
+
+If you enable this setting and type an Internet or intranet address in the text box, the system adds a Browse button to the "Specify a Printer" page in the Add Printer Wizard. The Browse button appears beside the "Connect to a printer on the Internet or on a home or office network" option. When users click Browse, the system opens an Internet browser and navigates to the specified URL address to display the available printers.
+
+This setting makes it easy for users to find the printers you want them to add.
+
+Also, see the "Custom support URL in the Printers folder's left pane" and "Activate Internet printing" settings in "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Printers."

+
+Use Location Tracking to design a location scheme for your enterprise and assign computers and printers to locations in the scheme. Location Tracking overrides the standard method used to locate and associate computers and printers. The standard method uses a printer's IP address and subnet mask to estimate its physical location and proximity to computers.
+
+If you enable this setting, users can browse for printers by location without knowing the printer's location or location naming scheme. Enabling Location Tracking adds a Browse button in the Add Printer wizard's Printer Name and Sharing Location screen and to the General tab in the Printer Properties dialog box. If you enable the Group Policy Computer location setting, the default location you entered appears in the Location field by default.
+
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it, Location Tracking is disabled. Printer proximity is estimated using the standard method (that is, based on IP address and subnet mask).

+
+By default, the pruning service on the domain controller prunes printer objects from Active Directory if the computer that published them does not respond to contact requests. When the computer that published the printers restarts, it republishes any deleted printer objects.
+
+If you enable this setting or do not configure it, the domain controller prunes this computer's printers when the computer does not respond.
+
+If you disable this setting, the domain controller does not prune this computer's printers. This setting is designed to prevent printers from being pruned when the computer is temporarily disconnected from the network.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. Determines whether the pruning service on a domain controller prunes printer objects that are not automatically republished whenever the host computer does not respond,just as it does with Windows 2000 printers. This setting applies to printers running operating systems other than Windows 2000 and to Windows 2000 printers published outside their forest.
+
+The Windows pruning service prunes printer objects from Active Directory when the computer that published them does not respond to contact requests. Computers running Windows 2000 Professional detect and republish deleted printer objects when they rejoin the network. However, because non-Windows 2000 computers and computers in other domains cannot republish printers in Active Directory automatically, by default, the system never prunes their printer objects.
+
+You can enable this setting to change the default behavior. To use this setting, select one of the following options from the "Prune non-republishing printers" box:
+
+- "Never" specifies that printer objects that are not automatically republished are never pruned. "Never" is the default.
+
+- "Only if Print Server is found" prunes printer objects that are not automatically republished only when the print server responds, but the printer is unavailable.
+
+- "Whenever printer is not found" prunes printer objects that are not automatically republished whenever the host computer does not respond, just as it does with Windows 2000 printers.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This setting applies to printers published by using Active Directory Users and Computers or Pubprn.vbs. It does not apply to printers published by using Printers in Control Panel.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you disable automatic pruning, remember to delete printer objects manually whenever you remove a printer or print server.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. Specifies whether or not to log events when the pruning service on a domain controller attempts to contact a computer before pruning the computer's printers.
+
+The pruning service periodically contacts computers that have published printers to verify that the printers are still available for use. If a computer does not respond to the contact attempt, the attempt is retried a specified number of times, at a specified interval. The "Directory pruning retry" setting determines the number of times the attempt is retried; the default value is two retries. The "Directory Pruning Interval" setting determines the time interval between retries; the default value is every eight hours. If the computer has not responded by the last contact attempt, its printers are pruned from the directory.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, the contact events are recorded in the event log.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the contact events are not recorded in the event log.
+
+Note: This setting does not affect the logging of pruning events; the actual pruning of a printer is always logged.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This setting is used only on domain controllers.

+If you enable this policy setting, only computers running this version (or later versions) of the operating system can connect to this computer.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, computers running this version and a previous version of the operating system can connect to this computer.
+
+If you do not configure this policy setting, users can configure the setting in System Properties in the Control Panel.
+
+
+> [!TIP]
+> This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting controls whether the RPC runtime generates extended error information when an error occurs.
+
+Extended error information includes the local time that the error occurred, the RPC version, and the name of the computer on which the error occurred, or from which it was propagated. Programs can retrieve the extended error information by using standard Windows application programming interfaces (APIs).
+
+If you disable this policy setting, the RPC Runtime only generates a status code to indicate an error condition.
+
+If you do not configure this policy setting, it remains disabled. It will only generate a status code to indicate an error condition.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, the RPC runtime will generate extended error information.
+
+You must select an error response type in the drop-down box.
+
+- "Off" disables all extended error information for all processes. RPC only generates an error code.
+- "On with Exceptions" enables extended error information, but lets you disable it for selected processes. To disable extended error information for a process while this policy setting is in effect, the command that starts the process must begin with one of the strings in the Extended Error Information Exception field.
+- "Off with Exceptions" disables extended error information, but lets you enable it for selected processes. To enable extended error information for a process while this policy setting is in effect, the command that starts the process must begin with one of the strings in the Extended Error Information Exception field.
+- "On" enables extended error information for all processes.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> For information about the Extended Error Information Exception field, see the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK).
+>
+> Extended error information is formatted to be compatible with other operating systems and older Microsoft operating systems, but only newer Microsoft operating systems can read and respond to the information.
+>
+> The default policy setting, "Off," is designed for systems where extended error information is considered to be sensitive, and it should not be made available remotely.
+>
+> This policy setting will not be applied until the system is rebooted.
+

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting controls whether the RPC Runtime ignores delegation failures when delegation is requested.
+
+The constrained delegation model, introduced in Windows Server 2003, does not report that delegation was enabled on a security context when a client connects to a server. Callers of RPC and COM are encouraged to use the RPC_C_QOS_CAPABILITIES_IGNORE_DELEGATE_FAILURE flag, but some applications written for the traditional delegation model prior to Windows Server 2003 may not use this flag and will encounter RPC_S_SEC_PKG_ERROR when connecting to a server that uses constrained delegation.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, the RPC Runtime will generate RPC_S_SEC_PKG_ERROR errors to applications that ask for delegation and connect to servers using constrained delegation.
+
+If you do not configure this policy setting, it remains disabled and will generate RPC_S_SEC_PKG_ERROR errors to applications that ask for delegation and connect to servers using constrained delegation.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, then:
+
+- "Off" directs the RPC Runtime to generate RPC_S_SEC_PKG_ERROR if the client asks for delegation, but the created security context does not support delegation.
+
+- "On" directs the RPC Runtime to accept security contexts that do not support delegation even if delegation was asked for.
+

+> This policy setting will not be applied until the system is rebooted.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting controls the idle connection timeout for RPC/HTTP connections.
+
+This policy setting is useful in cases where a network agent like an HTTP proxy or a router uses a lower idle connection timeout than the IIS server running the RPC/HTTP proxy. In such cases, RPC/HTTP clients may encounter errors because connections will be timed out faster than expected. Using this policy setting you can force the RPC Runtime and the RPC/HTTP Proxy to use a lower connection timeout.
+
+This policy setting is only applicable when the RPC Client, the RPC Server and the RPC HTTP Proxy are all running Windows Server 2003 family/Windows XP SP1 or higher versions. If either the RPC Client or the RPC Server or the RPC HTTP Proxy run on an older version of Windows, this policy setting will be ignored.
+
+The minimum allowed value for this policy setting is 90 seconds. The maximum is 7200 seconds (2 hours).
+
+If you disable this policy setting, the idle connection timeout on the IIS server running the RPC HTTP proxy will be used.
+
+If you do not configure this policy setting, it will remain disabled. The idle connection timeout on the IIS server running the RPC HTTP proxy will be used.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, and the IIS server running the RPC HTTP proxy is configured with a lower idle connection timeout, the timeout on the IIS server is used. Otherwise, the provided timeout value is used. The timeout is given in seconds.
+
+> [!NOTE]

This policy setting determines whether the RPC Runtime maintains RPC state information for the system, and how much information it maintains. Basic state information, which consists only of the most commonly needed state data, is required for troubleshooting RPC problems.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, the RPC runtime defaults to "Auto2" level.
+
+If you do not configure this policy setting, the RPC defaults to "Auto2" level.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, you can use the drop-down box to determine which systems maintain RPC state information.
+
+- "None" indicates that the system does not maintain any RPC state information. Note: Because the basic state information required for troubleshooting has a negligible effect on performance and uses only about 4K of memory, this setting is not recommended for most installations.
+
+- "Auto1" directs RPC to maintain basic state information only if the computer has at least 64 MB of memory.
+
+- "Auto2" directs RPC to maintain basic state information only if the computer has at least 128 MB of memory and is running Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, or Windows 2000 Datacenter Server.
+
+- "Server" directs RPC to maintain basic state information on the computer, regardless of its capacity.
+
+- "Full" directs RPC to maintain complete RPC state information on the system, regardless of its capacity. Because this level can degrade performance, it is recommended for use only while you are investigating an RPC problem.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> To retrieve the RPC state information from a system that maintains it, you must use a debugging tool.
+>
+> This policy setting will not be applied until the system is rebooted.
+
+
+> [!TIP]
+> This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
+>
+> You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to [Enabling a policy](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md#enabling-a-policy).
+>
+> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).

As such, they share the memory space allocated to the VDM process and cannot run simultaneously.
+
+Enabling this setting adds a check box to the Run dialog box, giving users the option of running a 16-bit program in its own dedicated NTVDM process. The additional check box is enabled only when a user enters a 16-bit program in the Run dialog box.

+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, by default, when the system cannot find the target file for a shortcut (.lnk), it searches all paths associated with the shortcut. If the target file is located on an NTFS partition, the system then uses the target's file ID to find a path. If the resulting path is not correct, it conducts a comprehensive search of the target drive in an attempt to find the file.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting prevents the system from using NTFS tracking features to resolve a shortcut.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, the system does not try to locate the file by using its file ID. It skips this step and begins a comprehensive search of the drive specified in the target path.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, by default, when the system cannot find the target file for a shortcut (.lnk), it searches all paths associated with the shortcut. If the target file is located on an NTFS partition, the system then uses the target's file ID to find a path. If the resulting path is not correct, it conducts a comprehensive search of the target drive in an attempt to find the file.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This policy setting only applies to target files on NTFS partitions. FAT partitions do not have this ID tracking and search capability.
+
+Also, see the "Do not track Shell shortcuts during roaming" and the "Do not use the search-based method when resolving shell shortcuts" policy settings.

+
+The Start Menu and Taskbar display Jump Lists off of programs. These menus include files, folders, websites and other relevant items for that program. This helps users more easily reopen their most important documents and other tasks.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, the Start Menu and Taskbar only track the files that the user opens locally on this computer. Files that the user opens over the network from remote computers are not tracked or shown in the Jump Lists. Use this setting to reduce network traffic, particularly over slow network connections.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, all files that the user opens appear in the menus, including files located remotely on another computer. Note: This setting does not prevent Windows from displaying remote files that the user has explicitly pinned to the Jump Lists. See the "Do not allow pinning items in Jump Lists" policy setting.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting determines whether the system retains a roaming user's Windows Installer and Group Policy based software installation data on their profile deletion.
+
+By default Windows deletes all information related to a roaming user (which includes the user's settings, data, Windows Installer related data, and the like) when their profile is deleted. As a result, the next time a roaming user whose profile was previously deleted on that client logs on, they will need to reinstall all apps published via policy at logon increasing logon time. You can use this policy setting to change this behavior.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, Windows will not delete Windows Installer or Group Policy software installation data for roaming users when profiles are deleted from the machine. This will improve the performance of Group Policy based Software Installation during user logon when a user profile is deleted and that user subsequently logs on to the machine.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows will delete the entire profile for roaming users, including the Windows Installer and Group Policy software installation data when those profiles are deleted.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If this policy setting is enabled for a machine, local administrator action is required to remove the Windows Installer or Group Policy software installation data stored in the registry and file system of roaming users' profiles on the machine.

+
+If you disable this policy setting or do not configure it, the system does not limit the size of user profiles.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, you can:
+
+- Set a maximum permitted user profile size.
+- Determine whether the registry files are included in the calculation of the profile size.
+- Determine whether users are notified when the profile exceeds the permitted maximum size.
+- Specify a customized message notifying users of the oversized profile.
+- Determine how often the customized message is displayed.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> In operating systems earlier than Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows will not allow users to log off until the profile size has been reduced to within the allowable limit. In Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows will not block users from logging off. Instead, if the user has a roaming user profile, Windows will not synchronize the user's profile with the roaming profile server if the maximum profile size limit specified here is exceeded.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting defines a slow connection for roaming user profiles and establishes thresholds for two tests of network speed.
+
+To determine the network performance characteristics, a connection is made to the file share storing the user's profile and 64 kilobytes of data is transferred. From that connection and data transfer, the network's latency and connection speed are determined.
+
+This policy setting and related policy settings in this folder together define the system's response when roaming user profiles are slow to load.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, you can change how long Windows waits for a response from the server before considering the connection to be slow.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows considers the network connection to be slow if the server returns less than 500 kilobits of data per second or take 120 milliseconds to respond.Consider increasing this value for clients using DHCP Service-assigned addresses or for computers accessing profiles across dial-up connections.Important: If the "Do not detect slow network connections" policy setting is enabled, this policy setting is ignored. Also, if the "Delete cached copies of roaming profiles" policy setting is enabled, there is no local copy of the roaming profile to load when the system detects a slow connection.

+
+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting determines whether Windows will soft-disconnect a computer from a network.
+
+If this policy setting is enabled or not configured, Windows will soft-disconnect a computer from a network when it determines that the computer should no longer be connected to a network.
+
+If this policy setting is disabled, Windows will disconnect a computer from a network immediately when it determines that the computer should no longer be connected to a network.
+
+When soft disconnect is enabled:
+
+- When Windows decides that the computer should no longer be connected to a network, it waits for traffic to settle on that network. The existing TCP session will continue uninterrupted.
+- Windows then checks the traffic level on the network periodically. If the traffic level is above a certain threshold, no further action is taken. The computer stays connected to the network and continues to use it. For example, if the network connection is currently being used to download files from the Internet, the files will continue to be downloaded using that network connection.
+- When the network traffic drops below this threshold, the computer will be disconnected from the network. Apps that keep a network connection active even when they’re not actively using it (for example, email apps) might lose their connection. If this happens, these apps should re-establish their connection over a different network.
+
+This policy setting depends on other group policy settings. For example, if 'Minimize the number of simultaneous connections to the Internet or a Windows Domain' is disabled, Windows will not disconnect from any networks.

+
+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting determines if a computer can have multiple connections to the internet or to a Windows domain. If multiple connections are allowed, it then determines how network traffic will be routed.
+
+If this policy setting is set to 0, a computer can have simultaneous connections to the internet, to a Windows domain, or to both. Internet traffic can be routed over any connection - including a cellular connection and any metered network. This was previously the Disabled state for this policy setting. This option was first available in Windows 8.
+
+If this policy setting is set to 1, any new automatic internet connection is blocked when the computer has at least one active internet connection to a preferred type of network. Here's the order of preference (from most preferred to least preferred): Ethernet, WLAN, then cellular. Ethernet is always preferred when connected. Users can still manually connect to any network. This was previously the Enabled state for this policy setting. This option was first available in Windows 8.
+
+If this policy setting is set to 2, the behavior is similar to 1. However, if a cellular data connection is available, it will always stay connected for services that require a cellular connection. When the user is connected to a WLAN or Ethernet connection, no internet traffic will be routed over the cellular connection. This option was first available in Windows 10 (Version 1703).
+
+If this policy setting is set to 3, the behavior is similar to 2. However, if there's an Ethernet connection, Windows won't allow users to connect to a WLAN manually. A WLAN can only be connected (automatically or manually) when there's no Ethernet connection.
+
+This policy setting is related to the "Enable Windows to soft-disconnect a computer from a network" policy setting.

+Disabling a known folder will prevent the underlying file or directory from being created via the known folder API. If the folder exists before the policy is applied, the folder must be manually deleted since the policy only blocks the creation of the folder.
+
+You can specify a known folder using its known folder id or using its canonical name. For example, the Sample Videos known folder can be disabled by specifying {440fcffd-a92b-4739-ae1a-d4a54907c53f} or SampleVideos.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy allows you to turn Windows Defender SmartScreen on or off. SmartScreen helps protect PCs by warning users before running potentially malicious programs downloaded from the Internet. This warning is presented as an interstitial dialog shown before running an app that has been downloaded from the Internet and is unrecognized or known to be malicious. No dialog is shown for apps that do not appear to be suspicious.
+
+Some information is sent to Microsoft about files and programs run on PCs with this feature enabled.
+
+If you enable this policy, SmartScreen will be turned on for all users. Its behavior can be controlled by the following options:
+
+- Warn and prevent bypass
+- Warn
+
+If you enable this policy with the "Warn and prevent bypass" option, SmartScreen's dialogs will not present the user with the option to disregard the warning and run the app. SmartScreen will continue to show the warning on subsequent attempts to run the app. If you enable this policy with the "Warn" option, SmartScreen's dialogs will warn the user that the app appears suspicious, but will permit the user to disregard the warning and run the app anyway. SmartScreen will not warn the user again for that app if the user tells SmartScreen to run the app.
+
+If you disable this policy, SmartScreen will be turned off for all users. Users will not be warned if they try to run suspicious apps from the Internet.
+
+If you do not configure this policy, SmartScreen will be enabled by default, but users may change their settings.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting allows you to manage whether a user may preview an item from this zone or display custom thumbnails in the preview pane in File Explorer. While this policy setting usually applies to items returned by OpenSearch queries using Search Connectors (which allow rich searching of remote sources from within the File Explorer), it might affect other items as well that are marked from this zone. For example, some application-specific items such as MAPI (Messaging Application Programming Interface) items that are returned as search results in File Explorer will be affected. MAPI items reside in the Internet zone, so disabling this policy for the Internet zone will prevent the previewing of these items in File Explorer. For the case of custom thumbnails, it is the zone of the thumbnail that is checked, not the zone of item. Typically these are the same but a source is able to define a specific location of a thumbnail that is different than the location of the item.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, users can preview items and get custom thumbnails from OpenSearch query results in this zone using File Explorer.
+
+If you disable this policy setting, users will be prevented from previewing items and get custom thumbnails from OpenSearch query results in this zone using File Explorer.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting determines whether Windows traces shortcuts back to their sources when it cannot find the target on the user's system.
+
+Shortcut files typically include an absolute path to the original target file as well as the relative path to the current target file. When the system cannot find the file in the current target path, then, by default, it searches for the target in the original path. If the shortcut has been copied to a different computer, the original path might lead to a network computer, including external resources, such as an Internet server.
+
+If you enable this policy setting, Windows only searches the current target path. It does not search for the original path even when it cannot find the target file in the current target path.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows searches for the original path when it cannot find the target file in the current target path.

+
+This setting suppresses the "Install Program As Other User" dialog box for local and network installations. This dialog box, which prompts the current user for the user name and password of an administrator, appears when users who are not administrators try to install programs locally on their computers. This setting allows administrators who have logged on as regular users to install programs without logging off and logging on again using their administrator credentials.
+
+Many programs can be installed only by an administrator. If you enable this setting and a user does not have sufficient permissions to install a program, the installation continues with the current user's logon credentials. As a result, the installation might fail, or it might complete but not include all features. Or, it might appear to complete successfully, but the installed program might not operate correctly.
+
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the "Install Program As Other User" dialog box appears whenever users install programs locally on the computer.
+
+By default, users are not prompted for alternate logon credentials when installing programs from a network share. If enabled, this setting overrides the "Request credentials for network installations" setting.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. Prompts users for alternate logon credentials during network-based installations.
+
+This setting displays the "Install Program As Other User" dialog box even when a program is being installed from files on a network computer across a local area network connection.
+
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it, this dialog box appears only when users are installing programs from local media.
+
+The "Install Program as Other User" dialog box prompts the current user for the user name and password of an administrator. This setting allows administrators who have logged on as regular users to install programs without logging off and logging on again using their administrator credentials.
+
+If the dialog box does not appear, the installation proceeds with the current user's permissions. If these permissions are not sufficient, the installation might fail, or it might complete but not include all features. Or, it might appear to complete successfully, but the installed program might not operate correctly.

+
+You can add up to five additional links to the "Search again" links at the bottom of results returned in File Explorer after a search is executed. These links will be shared between Internet search sites and Search Connectors/Libraries. Search Connector/Library links take precedence over Internet search links.

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. Specifies an alternate user interface. The Explorer program (%windir%\explorer.exe) creates the familiar Windows interface, but you can use this setting to specify an alternate interface.
+
+If you enable this setting, the system starts the interface you specify instead of Explorer.exe. To use this setting, copy your interface program to a network share or to your system drive. Then, enable this setting, and type the name of the interface program, including the file name extension, in the Shell name text box. If the interface program file is not located in a folder specified in the Path environment variable for your system, enter the fully qualified path to the file.
+
+If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the setting is ignored and the system displays the Explorer interface.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> To find the folders indicated by the Path environment variable, click System Properties in Control Panel, click the Advanced tab, click the Environment Variables button, and then, in the System variables box, click Path.

+> This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
+>
+> You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to [Enabling a policy](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md#enabling-a-policy).
+>
+> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).

+Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting controls whether or not the system displays information about previous logons and logon failures to the user.
+
+For local user accounts and domain user accounts in domains of at least a Windows Server 2008 functional level, if you enable this setting, a message appears after the user logs on that displays the date and time of the last successful logon by that user, the date and time of the last unsuccessful logon attempted with that user name, and the number of unsuccessful logons since the last successful logon by that user. This message must be acknowledged by the user before the user is presented with the Microsoft Windows desktop.
+
+For domain user accounts in Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 native, or Windows 2000 mixed functional level domains, if you enable this setting, a warning message will appear that Windows could not retrieve the information and the user will not be able to log on. Therefore, you should not enable this policy setting if the domain is not at the Windows Server 2008 domain functional level.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this setting, messages about the previous logon or logon failures are not displayed.

+> This policy is currently in preview mode only and will be supported in future releases. It may be used for testing purposes, but should not be used in a production environment at this time.
+
+This policy controls the inclusion of Edge tabs into Alt+Tab.
+
+Enabling this policy restricts the number of Edge tabs that are allowed to appear in the Alt+Tab switcher. Alt+Tab can be configured to show all open Edge tabs, only the 5 most recent tabs, only the 3 most recent tabs, or no tabs. Setting the policy to no tabs configures the Alt+Tab switcher to show app windows only, which is the classic Alt+Tab behavior.
+
+This policy only applies to the Alt+Tab switcher. When the policy is not enabled, the feature respects the user's setting in the Settings app.
+
+
+> [!TIP]
+> This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
+>
+> You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to [Enabling a policy](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md#enabling-a-policy).
+>
+> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).

+
+# 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 |

+
+## 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.

## Packet drops
-When one TCP peer is sending out TCP packets for which there is no response received from the other end, the TCP peer would end up re-transmitting the data and when there is no response received, it would end the session by sending an ACK RESET( meaning, application acknowledges whatever data exchanged so far, but due to packet drop closing the connection).

## Guidance for accounts on shared PCs
* We recommend no local admin accounts on the PC to improve the reliability and security of the PC.
+
* When a PC is set up in shared PC mode with the default deletion policy, accounts will be cached automatically until disk space is low. Then, accounts will be deleted to reclaim disk space. This account management happens automatically. Both Azure AD and Active Directory domain accounts are managed in this way. Any accounts created through **Guest** and **Kiosk** will be deleted automatically at sign out.
* On a Windows PC joined to Azure Active Directory:
* By default, the account that joined the PC to Azure AD will have an admin account on that PC. Global administrators for the Azure AD domain will also have admin accounts on the PC.
* With Azure AD Premium, you can specify which accounts have admin accounts on a PC using the **Additional administrators on Azure AD Joined devices** setting on the Azure portal.
+
* Local accounts that already exist on a PC won’t be deleted when turning on shared PC mode. New local accounts that are created using **Settings > Accounts > Other people > Add someone else to this PC** after shared PC mode is turned on won't be deleted. However, any new local accounts created by the **Guest** and **Kiosk** options on the sign-in screen (if enabled) will automatically be deleted at sign-out.
+
* If admin accounts are necessary on the PC
* Ensure the PC is joined to a domain that enables accounts to be signed on as admin, or
* Create admin accounts before setting up shared PC mode, or
* Create exempt accounts before signing out when turning shared pc mode on.
+
* The account management service supports accounts that are exempt from deletion.

Start failures can be organized into these categories:
- **Deployment/Install issues** - Easiest to identify but difficult to recover. This failure is consistent and usually permanent. Reset, restore from backup, or rollback to recover.
- **Performance issues** - More common with older hardware, low-powered machines. Symptoms include: High CPU utilization, disk contention, memory resources. This makes Start very slow to respond. Behavior is intermittent depending on available resources.
- **Crashes** - Also easy to identify. Crashes in Shell Experience Host or related can be found in System or Application event logs. This can be a code defect or related to missing or altered permissions to files or registry keys by a program or incorrect security tightening configurations. Determining permissions issues can be time consuming but a [SysInternals tool called Procmon](https://docs.microsoft.com/sysinternals/downloads/procmon) will show **Access Denied**. The other option is to get a dump of the process when it crashes and depending on comfort level, review the dump in the debugger, or have support review the data.
-- **Hangs** in Shell Experience host or related. These are the hardest issues to identify as there are few events logged, but behavior is typically intermittent or recovers with a reboot. If a background application or service hangs, Start will not have resources to respond in time. Clean boot may help identify if the issue is related to additional software. Procmon is also useful in this scenario.

## Basic troubleshooting
-When troubleshooting basic Start issues (and for the most part, all other Windows apps), there are a few things to check if they are not working as expected. When experiencing issues where the Start Menu or sub-component are not working, there are some quick tests to narrow down where the issue may reside.
+When troubleshooting basic Start issues (and for the most part, all other Windows apps), there are a few things to check if they are not working as expected. For issues where the Start menu or subcomponent isn't working, you can do some quick tests to narrow down where the issue may reside.
### Check the OS and update version
- Is the system running the latest Feature and Cumulative Monthly update?
- Did the issue start immediately after an update? Ways to check:
- - Powershell:[System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version
+ - PowerShell:[System.Environment]::OSVersion.Version
- WinVer from CMD.exe
### Check if Start is installed
- If Start fails immediately after a feature update, on thing to check is if the App package failed to install successfully.

The ISO that you got when updating the offline media item can be burned to a DVD and used directly (it will be bootable), but it is often more efficient to use USB sticks instead since they are faster and can hold more data. (A dual-layer DVD is limited to 8.5 GB.)
>[!TIP]
->In this example, the .wim file is 5.5 GB in size. However, bootable USB sticks are formatted with the FAT32 file system which limits file size to 4.0 GB. This means you must split the .wim file, which can be done using DISM:
Windows Setup automatically installs from this file, provided you name it install.swm. The file names for the next files include numbers, for example: install2.swm, install3.swm.
To enable split image in MDT, the Settings.xml file in your deployment share (ex: D:\MDTProduction\Control\Settings.xml) must have the **SkipWimSplit** value set to **False**. By default this value is set to True (\True\), so this must be changed and the offline media content updated.

You can place the image on a different drive (ex: E:\Deploy\Operating Systems\W10EX64RTM\REFW10X64-001.swm) and then modify E:\Deploy\Control\OperatingSystems.xml to point to it. Alternatively to keep using the USB you must split the .wim file, which can be done using DISM:

> Applying BitLocker Drive Encryption to the drives before provisioning is a much faster process than encrypting the drives after data has already been stored on them due to a new feature called used-disk space only encryption. For more information, see [What's New in BitLocker](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=619076).

- **Continuance of operations (COO).** In this scenario, selected employees receive a USB drive with a Windows To Go workspace, which includes all of the applications that the employees use at work. The employees can keep the device at home, in a briefcase, or wherever they want to store it until needed. When the users boot their home computer from the USB drive, it will create a corporate desktop experience so that they can quickly start working. On the very first boot, the employee sees that Windows is installing devices; after that one time, the Windows To Go drive boots like a normal computer. If they have enterprise network access, employees can use a virtual private network (VPN) connection or DirectAccess to access corporate resources. If the enterprise network is available, the Windows To Go workspace will automatically be updated using your standard client management processes.
-- **Contractors and temporary workers.** In this situation, an enterprise IT pro or manager would distribute the Windows To Go drive directly to the worker where they can be assisted with any necessary additional user education needs or address any possible compatibility issues. While the worker is on assignment, they can boot their computer exclusively from the Windows To Go drive and run all applications in that environment until the end of the assignment when the device is returned. No installation of software is required on the worker’s personal computer.

- **Managed free seating.** The employee is issued a Windows To Go drive that is then used with the host computer assigned to that employee for a given session (this could be a vehicle, workspace, or standalone laptop). When the employee leaves the session, the next time they return they use the same USB flash drive but use a different host computer.
-- **Work from home.** In this situation, the Windows To Go drive can be provisioned for employees using various methods including Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager or other deployment tools and then distributed to employees. The employee is instructed to boot the Windows To Go drive initially at work, which caches the employee’s credentials on the Windows To Go workspace and allows the initial data synchronization between the enterprise network and the Windows To Go workspace. The user can then bring the Windows To Go drive home where it can be used with their home computer, with or without enterprise network connectivity.

- **Travel lightly.** In this situation you have employees who are moving from site to site, but who always will have access to a compatible host computer on site. Using Windows To Go workspaces allows them to travel without the need to pack their PC.

-> If the employee wants to work offline for the majority of the time, but still maintain the ability to use the drive on the enterprise network, they should be informed of how often the Windows To Go workspace needs to be connected to the enterprise network. Doing so will ensure that the drive retains its access privileges and the workspace’s computer object is not potentially deleted from Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).

## User account and data management
-People use computers to work with data and consume content - that is their core function. The data must be stored and retrievable for it to be useful. When users are working in a Windows To Go workspace, they need to have the ability to get to the data that they work with and to keep it accessible when the workspace is not being used. For this reason we recommend that you use folder redirection and offline files to redirect the path of local folders (such as the Documents folder) to a network location, while caching the contents locally for increased speed and availability. We also recommend that you use roaming user profiles to synchronize user specific settings so that users receive the same operating system and application settings when using their Windows To Go workspace and their desktop computer. When a user signs in using a domain account that is set up with a file share as the profile path, the user’s profile is downloaded to the local computer and merged with the local profile (if present). When the user logs off the computer, the local copy of their profile, including any changes, is merged with the server copy of the profile. For more information, see [Folder Redirection, Offline Files, and Roaming User Profiles overview](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=618924).

Windows To Go is fully integrated with your Microsoft account. Setting synchronization is accomplished by connecting a Microsoft account to a user account. Windows To Go devices fully support this feature and can be managed by Group Policy so that the customization and configurations you prefer will be applied to your Windows To Go workspace.

+## Why do I keep on getting the message "Installing devices…" when I boot Windows To Go?
One of the challenges involved in moving the Windows To Go drive between PCs while seamlessly booting Windows with access to all of their applications and data is that for Windows to be fully functional, specific drivers need to be installed for the hardware in each machine that runs Windows. Windows 8 or later has a process called respecialize which will identify new drivers that need to be loaded for the new PC and disable drivers which are not present on the new configuration. In general this feature is reliable and efficient when roaming between PCs of widely varying hardware configurations.
-In certain cases, third party drivers for different hardware models or versions can reuse device ID’s, driver file names, registry keys (or any other operating system constructs which do not support side-by-side storage) for similar hardware. For example, Touchpad drivers on different laptops often reuse the same device ID’s, and video cards from the same manufacturer may often reuse service names. Windows handles these situations by marking the non-present device node with a flag that indicates the existing driver needs to be reinstalled before continuing to install the new driver.

You can use Configuration Manager to deploy feature updates to Windows 10 devices in two ways. The first option is to use the software updates feature. The second option is to use a task sequence to deploy feature updates. There are times when deploying a Windows 10 feature update requires the use of a task sequence—for example:
- **Upgrade to the next LTSC release.** With the LTSC servicing branch, feature updates are never provided to the Windows clients themselves. Instead, feature updates must be installed like a traditional in-place upgrade.
-- **Additional required tasks.** When deploying a feature update requires additional steps (e.g., suspending disk encryption, updating applications), you can use task sequences to orchestrate the additional steps. Software updates do not have the ability to add steps to their deployments.

+We include information here about many different update types you'll hear about, but the two overarching types that you have the most direct control over are *feature updates* and *quality updates*.
- **Feature updates:** Released twice per year, during the first half and second half of each calendar year. Feature updates add new features and functionality to Windows 10. Because they are delivered frequently (rather than every 3-5 years), they are easier to manage.
- **Quality updates:** Quality updates deliver both security and non-security fixes to Windows 10. Quality updates include security updates, critical updates, servicing stack updates, and driver updates. They are typically released on the second Tuesday of each month, though they can be released at any time. The second-Tuesday releases are the ones that focus on security updates. Quality updates are *cumulative*, so installing the latest quality update is sufficient to get all the available fixes for a specific Windows 10 feature update, including any out-of-band security fixes and any *servicing stack updates* that might have been released previously.
- **Servicing stack updates:** The "servicing stack" is the code component that actually installs Windows updates. From time to time, the servicing stack itself needs to be updated in order to function smoothly. If you don't install the latest servicing stack update, there's a risk that your device can't be updated with the latest Microsoft security fixes. Servicing stack updates are not necessarily included in *every* monthly quality update, and occasionally are released out of band to address a late-breaking issue. Always install the latest available quality update to catch any servicing stack updates that might have been released. The servicing stack also contains the "component-based servicing stack" (CBS), which is a key underlying component for several elements of Windows deployment, such as DISM, SFC, changing Windows features or roles, and repairing components. The CBS is a small component that typically does not have updates released every month. You can find a list of servicing stack updates at [Latest servicing stack updates](https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/security-guidance/advisory/ADV990001). For more detail about servicing stack updates, see [Servicing stack updates](servicing-stack-updates.md).
-- **Driver updates**: These are updates to drivers applicable to your devices. Driver updates are turned off by default in Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), but for cloud-based update methods, you can control whether they are installed or not.
-- **Microsoft product updates:** These are updates for other Microsoft products, such as Office. You can enable or disable Microsoft updates by using policies controlled by various servicing tools.

## Servicing channels
-Windows 10 offers three servicing channels, each of which offers you a different level of flexibility with how and when updates are delivered to devices. Using the different servicing channels allows you to deploy Windows 10 "as a service" which conceives of deployment as a continual process of updates which roll out across the organization in waves. In this approach, an update is plugged into this process and while it runs, you monitor for anomalies, errors, or user impact and respond as issues arise--without interrupting the entire process.

In this approach, an update is plugged into this process and while it runs, you monitor for anomalies, errors, or user impact and respond as issues arise--without interrupting the entire process.
The first step of controlling when and how devices install updates is assigning them to the appropriate servicing channel. You can assign devices to a particular channel with any of several tools, including Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), and Group Policy settings applied by any of several means. By dividing devices into different populations ("deployment groups" or "rings") you can use servicing channel assignment, followed by other management features such as update deferral policies, to create a phased deployment of any update that allows you to start with a limited pilot deployment for testing before moving to a broad deployment throughout your organization.

## Scanning updates

The Windows Update Orchestrator on your PC checks the Microsoft Update server or your WSUS endpoint for new updates at random intervals. The randomization ensures that the Windows Update server isn't overloaded with requests all at the same time. The Update Orchestrator searches only for updates that have been added since the last time updates were searched, allowing it to find updates quickly and efficiently.

|Term|Definition|
|----|----------|
-|Update|We use this term to mean a lot of different things, but in this context it's the actual patch or change.|
+|Update|We use this term to mean several different things, but in this context it's the actual updated code or change.|
|Bundle update|An update that contains 1-N child updates; doesn't contain payload itself.|
|Child update|Leaf update that's bundled by another update; contains payload.|
-|Detectoid update|A special 'update' that contains "IsInstalled" applicability rule only and no payload. Used for prereq evaluation.|
-|Category update|A special 'detectoid' that has always true IsInstalled rule. Used for grouping updates and for client to filter updates. |
+|Detector update|A special "update" that contains "IsInstalled" applicability rule only and no payload. Used for prereq evaluation.|
+|Category update|A special "detectoid" that has an **IsInstalled** rule that is always true. Used for grouping updates and to allow the device to filter updates. |
|Full scan|Scan with empty datastore.|
|Delta scan|Scan with updates from previous scan already cached in datastore.|
-|Online scan|Scan that hits network and goes against server on cloud. |
-|Offline scan|Scan that doesn't hit network and goes against local datastore. Only useful if online scan has been performed before. |
-|CatScan|Category scan where caller can specify a categoryId to get updates published under the categoryId.|
-|AppCatScan|Category scan where caller can specify an AppCategoryId to get apps published under the appCategoryId.|
-|Software sync|Part of the scan that looks at software updates only (OS and apps).|
-|Driver sync|Part of the scan that looks at Driver updates only. This is run after Software sync and is optional.|
-|ProductSync|Attributes based sync, where client provides a list of device, product and caller attributes ahead of time to allow service to evaluate applicability in the cloud. |

-When the option to automatically install updates is configured, the Windows Update Orchestrator, in most cases, automatically restarts the PC for you after installing the updates. This is necessary because your PC may be insecure, or not fully updated, until a restart is completed.

# Define update strategy with a calendar
Traditionally, organizations treated the deployment of operating system updates (especially feature updates) as a discrete project that had a beginning, a middle, and an end. A release was "built" (usually in the form of an image) and then distributed to users and their devices.
-Today, more organizations are treating deployment as a continual process of updates which roll out across the organization in waves. In this approach, an update is plugged into this process and while it runs, you monitor for anomalies, errors, or user impact and respond as issues arise--without interrupting the entire process. Microsoft has been evolving its Windows 10 release cycles, update mechanisms, and relevant tools to support this model. Feature updates are released twice per year, around March and September. All releases of Windows 10 have 18 months of servicing for all editions. Fall releases of the Enterprise and Education editions have an additional 12 months of servicing for specific Windows 10 releases, for a total of 30 months from initial release.

The 18/30 month lifecycle cadence lets you allow some portion of your environment to move faster while a majority can move less quickly.
## Calendar approaches
You can use a calendar approach for either a faster twice-per-year cadence or an annual cadence. Depending on company size, installing Windows 10 feature updates less often than once annually risks devices going out of service and becoming vulnerable to security threats, because they will stop receiving the monthly security updates.
### Annual
-Here's a calendar showing an example schedule that applies one Windows 10 feature update per calendar year, aligned with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager and Microsoft 365 Apps release cycles:

+[  ](images/annual-calendar.png#lightbox)
-This approach provides approximately twelve months of use from each feature update before the next update is due to be installed. By aligning to the Windows 10, version H2 feature update, each release will be serviced for 30 months from the time of availability, giving you more flexibility when applying future feature updates.

By aligning to the Windows 10, version H2 feature update, each release will be serviced for 30 months from the time of availability, giving you more flexibility when applying future feature updates.
This cadence might be most suitable for you if any of these conditions apply:
-- You are just starting your journey with the Windows 10 servicing process. If you are unfamiliar with new processes that support Windows 10 servicing, moving from a once every 3-5 year project to a twice a year feature update process can be daunting. This approach gives you time to learn new approaches and tools to reduce effort and cost.
+- You are just starting your journey with the Windows 10 servicing process.

This approach gives you time to learn new approaches and tools to reduce effort and cost.
+
- You want to wait and see how successful other companies are at adopting a Windows 10 feature update.
+
- You want to go quickly with feature updates, and want the ability to skip a feature update while keeping Windows 10 serviced in case business priorities change. Aligning to the Windows 10 feature update released in the second half of each calendar year, you get additional servicing for Windows 10 (30 months of servicing compared to 18 months).

+# Safeguard holds
+
+Microsoft uses quality and compatibility data to identify issues that might cause a Windows 10 feature update to fail or roll back. When we find such an issue, we might apply holds to the updating service to prevent affected devices from installing the update in order to safeguard them from these experiences. We also use holds when a customer, a partner, or Microsoft internal validation finds an issue that would cause severe impact (for example, rollback of the update, data loss, loss of connectivity, or loss of key functionality) and when a workaround is not immediately available.
+
+Safeguard holds prevent a device with a known issue from being offered a new operating system version. We renew the offering once a fix is found and verified. We use holds to ensure customers have a successful experience as their device moves to a new version of Windows 10.
+
+The lifespan of holds varies depending on the time required to investigate and fix an issue. During this time Microsoft works diligently to procure, develop, and validate a fix and then offer it to affected devices. We monitor quality and compatibility data to confirm that a fix is complete before releasing the hold. Once we release the hold, Windows Update will resume offering new operating system versions to devices.
+
+Safeguard holds only affect devices that use the Window Update service for updates. We encourage IT admins who manage updates to devices through other channels (such as media installations or updates coming from Windows Server Update Services) to remain aware of known issues that might also be present in their environments.
+
+
+## Am I affected by a safeguard hold?
+
+IT admins can use [Update Compliance](update-compliance-feature-update-status.md#safeguard-holds) to monitor various update health metrics for devices in their organization, including ones affected by a safeguard hold that prevents them from updating to a newer operating system version.
+
+Queries identify Safeguard IDs for each affected device, giving IT admins a detailed view into the various protections extended to devices. Safeguard IDs for publicly discussed known issues are also included in the [Windows release health](https://aka.ms/windowsreleasehealth) dashboard, where you can easily find information related to publicly available safeguards.
+
+On devices that use Windows Update (but not Windows Update for Business), the **Windows Update** page in the Settings app displays a message stating that an update is on its way, but not ready for the device. Instead of the option to download and install the update, users will see this message:
+
+
+
+
+If you see this message, it means one or more holds affect your device. When the issue is fixed and the update is safe to install, we’ll release the hold and the update can resume safely.
+
+## What can I do?
+
+We recommend that you do not attempt to manually update until issues have been resolved and holds released.
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> Opting out of a safeguard hold can put devices at risk from known performance issues. We strongly recommend that you complete robust testing to ensure the impact is acceptable before opting out.
+
+With that in mind, IT admins who stay informed with [Update Compliance](update-compliance-feature-update-status.md#safeguard-holds) and the [Windows release health](https://aka.ms/windowsreleasehealth) dashboard can choose to temporarily [opt-out of the protection of all safeguard holds](safeguard-opt-out.md) and allow an update to proceed. We recommend opting out only in an IT environment and for validation purposes. If you do opt out of a hold, this condition is temporary. Once an update is complete, the protection of safeguard holds is reinstated automatically.

+# Opt out of safeguard holds
+
+Safeguard holds prevent a device with a known compatibility issue from being offered a new Windows 10 feature update by using Windows Update. We use safeguard holds to protect the device and user from a failed or poor update experience. We renew the offering once a fix is issued and is verified on an affected device. For more information about safeguard holds, see [Safeguard holds](safeguard-holds.md).
+
+## How can I opt out of safeguard holds?
+
+IT admins can, if necessary, opt devices out of safeguard protections by using the disable safeguards policy. In a Mobile Device Management (MDM) tool, use the **Update/DisableWUfBSafeguards** CSP. In Group Policy, use the **Disable safeguards for Feature Updates** Group Policy. This policy is available to Windows Update for Business devices running Windows 10, version 1809 or later that have installed the October 2020 security update.
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> Opting out of a safeguard hold can put devices at risk from known performance issues.
+
+We recommend opting out only in an IT environment and for validation purposes. You can also validate an upcoming Windows 10 feature update version without the safeguards being applied by using the Release Preview channel of the Windows Insider Program for Business.
+
+Disabling safeguards does not guarantee your device will be able to successfully update. The update might still fail and will likely result in a bad experience since you are bypassing the protection against known issues.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> After a device installs a new Windows 10 version, the **Disable safeguards for Feature Updates** Group Policy will revert to “not configured” even if it was previously enabled. We do this to ensure the admin is consciously disabling Microsoft’s default protection from known issues for each new feature update.

+With the Windows Update experience, servicing stack updates and cumulative updates are deployed together to the device. The update stack automatically orchestrates the installation, so both are applied correctly. Starting in February 2021, the cumulative update will include the latest servicing stack updates, to provide a single cumulative update payload to both Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and Microsoft Catalog. If you use an endpoint management tool backed by WSUS, such as Configuration Manager, you will only have to select and deploy the monthly cumulative update. The latest servicing stack updates will automatically be applied correctly. Release notes and file information for cumulative updates, including those related to the servicing stack, will be in a single KB article. The combined monthly cumulative update will be available on Windows 10, version 2004 and later starting with the 2021 2C release, KB4601382.

## Run a full Census sync
-Census is a service that runs on a regular schedule on Windows devices. A number of key device attributes, like what operating system edition is installed on the device, are included in the Census payload. However, to save network load and system resources, data that tends to be more static (like edition) is sent approximately once per week rather than on every daily run. Because of this, these attributes can take longer to appear in Update Compliance unless you start a full Census sync. The Update Compliance Configuration Script does this.
+Census is a service that runs on a regular schedule on Windows devices. A number of key device attributes, like what operating system edition is installed on the device, are included in the Census payload. However, to save network load and system resources, data that tends to be more static (like edition) is sent approximately once per week rather than on every daily run. Because of this behavior, these attributes can take longer to appear in Update Compliance unless you start a full Census sync. The Update Compliance Configuration Script will do a full sync.
A full Census sync adds a new registry value to Census's path. When this registry value is added, Census's configuration is overridden to force a full sync. For Census to work normally, this registry value should be enabled, Census should be started manually, and then the registry value should be disabled. Follow these steps:

-
-Microsoft will release a device from a safeguard hold when it has determined it can safely and smoothly install a feature update, but you are ultimately in control of your devices and can opt out if desired.
-To opt out, set the registry key as follows:
-
-- Registry Key Path :: **Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion**
-- Create New Key :: **502505fe-762c-4e80-911e-0c3fa4c63fb0**

-- Type :: **REG_DWORD**
-- Value :: **0**
-
-Setting this registry key to **0** will force the device to opt out from *all* safeguard holds. Any other value, or deleting the key, will resume compatibility protection on the device.
+### Opt out of safeguard hold
+You can [opt out of safeguard protections](safeguard-opt-out.md) by using the **Disable safeguards for Feature Updates** Group Policy. This policy is available to Windows Update for Business devices running Windows 10, version 1809 or later that have installed the October 2020 security update.

## How Microsoft uses Delivery Optimization
-At Microsoft, to help ensure that ongoing deployments weren’t affecting our network and taking away bandwidth for other services, Microsoft IT used a couple of different bandwidth management strategies. Delivery Optimization, peer-to-peer caching enabled through Group Policy, was piloted and then deployed to all managed devices using Group Policy. Based on recommendations from the Delivery Optimization team, we used the "group" configuration to limit sharing of content to only the devices that are members of the same Active Directory domain. The content is cached for 24 hours. More than 76 percent of content came from peer devices versus the Internet.

Specialized systems—such as devices that control medical equipment, point-of-sale systems, and ATMs—often require a longer servicing option because of their purpose. These devices typically perform a single important task and don’t need feature updates as frequently as other devices in the organization. It’s more important that these devices be kept as stable and secure as possible than up to date with user interface changes. The LTSC servicing model prevents Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB devices from receiving the usual feature updates and provides only quality updates to ensure that device security stays up to date.

- **Quality updates** deliver both security and non-security fixes. They are typically released on the second Tuesday of each month, though they can be released at any time. Quality updates include security updates, critical updates, servicing stack updates, and driver updates. Quality updates are cumulative, so installing the latest quality update is sufficient to get all the available fixes for a specific Windows 10 feature update. The "servicing stack" is the code that installs other updates, so they are important to keep current. For more information, see [Servicing stack updates](servicing-stack-updates.md).

## Windows 10 – Next generation
Windows 10 provided an opportunity to end the era of infinite fragmentation. With Windows 10 and the Windows as a service model, updates came rolled together in the "latest cumulative update" (LCU) packages for both client and server. Every new update published includes all changes from previous updates, as well as new fixes. Since Windows client and server share the same code base, these LCUs allow the same update to be installed on the same client and server OS family, further reducing fragmentation.
@@ -64,12 +65,12 @@ While Windows 10 updates could have been controlled as cumulative from "Day 1,"
Customers saw the LCU model used for Windows 10 as having packages that were too large and represented too much of a change for legacy operating systems, so a different model was implemented. Windows instead offered one cumulative package (Monthly Rollup) and one individual package (Security Only) for all legacy operating systems.
-The Monthly Rollup includes new non-security (if appropriate), security updates, Internet Explorer (IE) updates, and all updates from the previous month similar to the Windows 10 model. The Security-only package includes only new security updates for the month. This means that any security updates from any previous month are not included in current month’s Security-Only Package. If a Security-Only update is missed, it is missed. Those updates will not appear in a future Security-Only update. Additionally, a cumulative package is offered for IE, which can be tested and installed separately, reducing the total update package size. The IE cumulative update includes both security and non-security fixes following the same model as Windows 10.

-Moving to the cumulative model for legacy OS versions continues to improve predictability of update quality. The Windows legacy environments which have fully updated machines with Monthly Rollups are running the same baseline against which all legacy OS version updates are tested. These include all of the updates (security and non-security) prior to and after October 2016. Many customer environments do not have all updates prior to this change installed, which leaves some continued fragmentation in the ecosystem. Further, customers who are installing Security-Only Updates and potentially doing so inconsistently are also more fragmented than Microsoft’s test environments for legacy OS version. This remaining fragmentation results in issues like those seen when the September 2016 Servicing Stack Update (SSU) was needed for smooth installation of the August 2018 security update. These environments did not have the SSU applied previously.

## Public preview releases
-Lastly, the cumulative update model directly impacts the public Preview releases offered in the 3rd and/or 4th weeks of the month. Update Tuesday, also referred to as the "B" week release occurs on the second Tuesday of the month. It is always a required security update across all operating systems. In addition to this monthly release, Windows also releases non-security update "previews" targeting the 3rd (C) and the 4th (D) weeks of the month. These preview releases include that month’s B-release plus a set of non-security updates for testing and validation as a cumulative package. We recommend IT Administrators uses the C/D previews to test the update in their environments. Any issues identified with the updates in the C/D releases are identified and then fixed or removed, prior to being rolled up in to the next month’s B release package together with new security updates.

- When Windows identifies an issue with a Update Tuesday release, engineering teams work to remediate or fix the issue as quickly as possible. The outcome is often a new update which may be released at any time, including during the 3rd or 4th week of the month. Such updates are independent of the regularly scheduled "C" and "D" update previews. These updates are created on-demand to remediate a customer impacting issue. In most cases they are qualified as a "non-security" update, and do not require a system reboot.

+In the past, traditional Windows deployments tended to be large, lengthy, and expensive.

With Windows as a service, the methodology around updating Windows has changed, moving away from major upgrades every few years to iterative updates twice per year. Each iteration contains a smaller subset of changes so that they won’t seem like substantial differences, like they do today. This image illustrates the level of effort needed for traditional Windows deployments versus servicing Windows 10 and how it is now spread evenly over time versus spiking every few years.

Windows 10 spreads the traditional deployment effort of a Windows upgrade, which typically occurred every few years, over smaller, continuous updates. With this change, you must approach the ongoing deployment and servicing of Windows differently. A strong Windows 10 deployment strategy begins with establishing a simple, repeatable process for testing and deploying each feature update. Here’s an example of what this process might look like:
-- **Configure test devices.** Configure test devices in the Windows Insider Program so that Insiders can test feature updates before they’re available to the Semi-Annual Channel. Typically, this would be a small number of test devices that IT staff members use to evaluate pre-release builds of Windows. Microsoft provides current development builds to Windows Insider members approximately every week so that interested users can see the functionality Microsoft is adding. See the section Windows Insider for details on how to enroll in the Windows Insider Program on a Windows 10 device.

Microsoft provides current development builds to Windows Insider members approximately every week so that interested users can see the functionality Microsoft is adding. See the section Windows Insider for details on how to enroll in the Windows Insider Program on a Windows 10 device.
- **Identify excluded devices.** For some organizations, special-purpose devices such as those used to control factory or medical equipment or run ATMs require a stricter, less frequent feature update cycle than the Semi-Annual Channel can offer. For those machines, you must install Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB to avoid feature updates for up to 10 years. Identify these devices, and separate them from the phased deployment and servicing cycles to help remove confusion for your administrators and ensure that devices are handled correctly.
- **Recruit volunteers.** The purpose of testing a deployment is to receive feedback. One effective way to recruit pilot users is to request volunteers. When doing so, clearly state that you’re looking for feedback rather than people to just “try it out” and that there could be occasional issues involved with accepting feature updates right away. With Windows as a service, the expectation is that there should be few issues, but if an issue does arise, you want testers to let you know as soon as possible. When considering whom to recruit for pilot groups, be sure to include members who provide the broadest set of applications and devices to validate the largest number of apps and devices possible.
-- **Update Group Policy.** Each feature update includes new group policies to manage new features. If you use Group Policy to manage devices, the Group Policy Admin for the Active Directory domain will need to download a .admx package and copy it to their [Central Store](https://support.microsoft.com/help/929841/how-to-create-the-central-store-for-group-policy-administrative-templa) (or to the [PolicyDefinitions](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/bb530196.aspx) directory in the SYSVOL folder of a domain controller if not using a Central Store). Always manage new group polices from the version of Windows 10 they shipped with by using the Remote Server Administration Tools. The ADMX download package is created at the end of each development cycle and then posted for download. To find the ADMX download package for a given Windows build, search for “ADMX download for Windows build xxxx”. For details about Group Policy management, see [How to create and manage the Central Store for Group Policy Administrative Templates in Windows](https://support.microsoft.com/help/3087759/how-to-create-and-manage-the-central-store-for-group-policy-administra)
-- **Choose a servicing tool.** Decide which product you’ll use to manage the Windows updates in your environment. If you’re currently using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager to manage your Windows updates, you can continue using those products to manage Windows 10 updates. Alternatively, you can use Windows Update for Business. In addition to which product you’ll use, consider how you’ll deliver the updates. With Windows 10, multiple peer-to-peer options are available to make update distribution faster. For a comparison of tools, see [Servicing tools](waas-overview.md#servicing-tools).
-- **Prioritize applications.** First, create an application portfolio. This list should include everything installed in your organization and any webpages your organization hosts. Next, prioritize this list to identify those that are the most business critical. Because the expectation is that application compatibility with Windows 10 will be high, only the most business critical applications should be tested before the pilot phase; everything else can be tested afterwards.

+> Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC is a separate Long-Term Servicing Channel version.
Each time Microsoft releases a Windows 10 feature update, the IT department should use the following high-level process to help ensure that the broad deployment is successful:
1. **Validate compatibility of business critical apps.** Test your most important business-critical applications for compatibility with the new Windows 10 feature update running on your Windows Insider machines identified in the earlier “Configure test machines” step of the Predeployment strategy section. The list of applications involved in this validation process should be small because most applications can be tested during the pilot phase. For more information about device and application compatibility in Windows 10, see the section Compatibility.
-2. **Target and react to feedback.** With Windows 10, Microsoft expects application and device compatibility to be high, but it’s still important to have targeted groups within both the IT department and business units to verify application compatibility for the remaining applications in your application portfolio. Because only the most business-critical applications are tested beforehand, this will represent the majority of application compatibility testing in your environment. This should not necessarily be a formal process but rather user validation through the use of a particular application. So, the next step is to deploy the feature update to early-adopting IT users and your targeted groups running in the Semi-Annual channel that you identified in the “Recruit volunteers” step of the Predeployment strategy section. Be sure to communicate clearly that you’re looking for feedback as soon as possible, and state exactly how users can submit feedback to you. Should an issue arise, have a remediation plan in place to address it.
-3. **Deploy broadly.** Finally, focus on the large-scale deployment using deployment rings, like the ones discussed in Table 1. Build deployment rings that target groups of computers in your selected update-management product. To reduce risk as much as possible, construct your deployment rings in a way that splits individual departments into multiple rings. This way, if you were to encounter an issue, you don’t prevent any critical business from continuing. By using this method, each deployment ring reduces risk as more and more people have been updated in any particular department.

A *hard-link migration store* enables you to perform an in-place migration where all user state is maintained on the computer while the old operating system is removed and the new operating system is installed; this is why it is best suited for the computer-refresh scenario. Use of a hard-link migration store for a computer-refresh scenario drastically improves migration performance and significantly reduces hard-disk utilization, reduces deployment costs and enables entirely new migration scenarios.

Restoring a hard-link migration store is similar to restoring any other migration store; however, as with creating the store, the same hard-link functionality is used to keep files in-place.
As a best practice, we recommend that you delete the hard-link migration store after you confirm that the Loadstate tool has successfully migrated the files. Since Loadstate has created new paths to the files on your new installation of a Windows operating system, deleting the hard links in the migration store will only delete one path to the files and will not delete the actual files or the paths to them from your new operating system.

- The VM is running Windows 10, version 1803 or later.
- The VM is hosted in Azure or another [Qualified Multitenant Hoster](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/CloudandHosting/licensing_sca.aspx) (QMTH).
When a user with VDA rights signs in to the VM using their AAD credentials, the VM is automatically stepped-up to Enterprise and activated. There is no need to perform Windows 10 Pro activation. This eliminates the need to maintain KMS or MAK in the qualifying cloud infrastructure.
### Scenario 2
+
- The Hyper-V host and the VM are both running Windows 10, version 1803 or later.
[Inherited Activation](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/windows-10-subscription-activation#inherited-activation) is enabled. All VMs created by a user with a Windows 10 E3 or E5 license are automatically activated independent of whether a user signs in with a local account or using an Azure Active Directory account.
### Scenario 3

- The VM is running Windows 10, version 1703 or 1709, or the hoster is not an authorized [QMTH](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/CloudandHosting/licensing_sca.aspx) partner.
- In this scenario, the underlying Windows 10 Pro license must be activated prior to Subscription Activation of Windows 10 Enterprise.

+Although consumer PCs will be upgraded using Windows Update, organizations want more control over the process. This is accomplished by leveraging tools like Microsoft Endpoint Manager or the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit to completely automate the upgrade process through simple task sequences.
The in-place upgrade process is designed to be extremely reliable, with the ability to automatically roll back to the previous operating system if any issues are encountered during the deployment process, without any IT staff involvement. Rolling back manually can also be done by leveraging the automatically-created recovery information (stored in the Windows.old folder), in case any issues are encountered after the upgrade is finished. The upgrade process is also typically faster than traditional deployments, because applications do not need to be reinstalled as part of the process.

- **Windows 7** required you to redeploy the operating system using a full wipe-and-load process if you wanted to change from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 10 Enterprise.
+
- **Windows 8.1** added support for a Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 8.1 Enterprise in-place upgrade (considered a “repair upgrade” because the OS version was the same before and after). This was a lot easier than wipe-and-load, but it was still time-consuming.
+
- **Windows 10, version 1507** added the ability to install a new product key using a provisioning package or using MDM to change the SKU. This required a reboot, which would install the new OS components, and took several minutes to complete. However, it was a lot quicker than in-place upgrade.

- **Windows 10, version 1607** made a big leap forward. Now you can just change the product key and the SKU instantly changes from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise. In addition to provisioning packages and MDM, you can just inject a key using SLMGR.VBS (which injects the key into WMI), so it became trivial to do this using a command line.

When those users sign in on an AD or Azure AD-joined machine, it automatically steps up from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise.

It is no longer necessary to run a script to perform the activation step on Windows 10 Pro prior to activating Enterprise. For virtual machines and hosts running Windows 10, version 1803 [Inherited Activation](#inherited-activation) is also enabled.

+This config event sends basic device connectivity and configuration information from Microsoft Edge about the current data collection consent, app version, and installation state to keep Microsoft Edge up to date and secure.
+
+The following fields are available:
+
+- **app_sample_rate** A number representing how often the client sends telemetry, expressed as a percentage. Low values indicate that said client sends more events and high values indicate that said client sends fewer events.
+- **app_version** The internal Edge build version string, taken from the UMA metrics field system_profile.app_version.
+- **appConsentState** Bit flags describing consent for data collection on the machine or zero if the state was not retrieved. The following are true when the associated bit is set: consent was granted (0x1), consent was communicated at install (0x2), diagnostic data consent granted (0x20000), browsing data consent granted (0x40000).
+- **Channel** An integer indicating the channel of the installation (Canary or Dev).
+- **client_id** A unique identifier with which all other diagnostic client data is associated, taken from the UMA metrics provider. This ID is effectively unique per device, per OS user profile, per release channel (e.g. Canary/Dev/Beta/Stable). client_id is not durable, based on user preferences. client_id is initialized on the first application launch under each OS user profile. client_id is linkable, but not unique across devices or OS user profiles. client_id is reset whenever UMA data collection is disabled, or when the application is uninstalled.
+- **ConnectionType** The first reported type of network connection currently connected. This can be one of Unknown, Ethernet, WiFi, 2G, 3G, 4G, None, or Bluetooth.
+- **Etag** Etag is an identifier representing all service applied configurations and experiments for the current browser session. This field is left empty when Windows diagnostic level is set to Basic or lower or when consent for diagnostic data has been denied.
+- **EventInfo.Level** The minimum Windows diagnostic data level required for the event where 1 is basic, 2 is enhanced, and 3 is full.
+- **install_date** The date and time of the most recent installation in seconds since midnight on January 1, 1970 UTC, rounded down to the nearest hour.
+- **installSource** An enumeration representing the source of this installation: source was not retrieved (0), unspecified source (1), website installer (2), enterprise MSI (3), Windows update (4), Edge updater (5), scheduled or timed task (6, 7), uninstall (8), Edge about page (9), self-repair (10), other install command line (11), reserved (12), unknown source (13).
+- **PayloadClass** The base class used to serialize and deserialize the Protobuf binary payload.
+- **PayloadGUID** A random identifier generated for each original monolithic Protobuf payload, before the payload is potentially broken up into manageably-sized chunks for transmission.
+- **PayloadLogType** The log type for the event correlating with 0 for unknown, 1 for stability, 2 for on-going, 3 for independent, 4 for UKM, or 5 for instance level.
+- **pop_sample** A value indicating how the device's data is being sampled.
+- **reconsentConfigs** A comma separated list of all reconsent configurations the current installation has received. Each configuration follows a well-defined format: 2DigitMonth-2DigitYear-3LetterKeyword.
+- **session_id** An identifier that is incremented each time the user launches the application, irrespective of any client_id changes. session_id is seeded during the initial installation of the application. session_id is effectively unique per client_id value. Several other internal identifier values, such as window or tab IDs, are only meaningful within a particular session. The session_id value is forgotten when the application is uninstalled, but not during an upgrade.
+- **utc_flags** Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) flags required for the event as part of the data collection process.

Windows diagnostic data also helps Microsoft better understand how customers use (or do not use) the operating system’s features and related services. The insights we gain from this data helps us prioritize our engineering effort to directly impact our customers’ experiences. These examples show how the use of diagnostic data enables Microsoft to build or enhance features which can help organizations increase employee productivity while lowering help desk calls.

- **Application switching.** Research and observations from earlier Windows versions showed that people rarely used Alt+Tab to switch between apps. After discussing this with some users, we learned they loved the feature, saying that it would be highly productive, but they did not know about it previously. Based on this, we created the Task View button in Windows 10 to make this feature more discoverable. Later diagnostic data showed significantly higher usage of this feature.

+# Manage connection endpoints for Windows 10 Enterprise, version 20H2
+
+**Applies to**
+
+- Windows 10 Enterprise, version 20H2
+
+Some Windows components, app, and related services transfer data to Microsoft network endpoints. Some examples include:
+
+- Connecting to Microsoft Office and Windows sites to download the latest app and security updates.
+- Connecting to email servers to send and receive email.
+- Connecting to the web for every day web browsing.
+- Connecting to the cloud to store and access backups.
+- Using your location to show a weather forecast.
+
+Details about the different ways to control traffic to these endpoints are covered in [Manage connections from Windows operating system components to Microsoft services](manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services.md).
+Where applicable, each endpoint covered in this topic includes a link to the specific details on how to control that traffic.
+
+The following methodology was used to derive these network endpoints:
+
+1. Set up the latest version of Windows 10 on a test virtual machine using the default settings.
+2. Leave the device(s) running idle for a week ("idle" means a user is not interacting with the system/device).
+3. Use globally accepted network protocol analyzer/capturing tools and log all background egress traffic.
+4. Compile reports on traffic going to public IP addresses.
+5. The test virtual machine(s) was logged into using a local account, and was not joined to a domain or Azure Active Directory.
+6. All traffic was captured in our lab using a IPV4 network. Therefore, no IPV6 traffic is reported here.
+7. These tests were conducted in an approved Microsoft lab. It's possible your results may be different.
+8. These tests were conducted for one week, but if you capture traffic for longer you may have different results.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Microsoft uses global load balancers that can appear in network trace-routes. For example, an endpoint for *.akadns.net might be used to load balance requests to an Azure datacenter, which can change over time.

+|Certificates|The following endpoint is used by the Automatic Root Certificates Update component to automatically check the list of trusted authorities on Windows Update to see if an update is available. It is possible to turn off traffic to this endpoint, but it is not recommended because as root certificates are updated over time, applications and websites may stop working because they did not receive an updated root certificate the application uses. Additionally, it is used to download certificates that are publicly known to be fraudulent. These settings are critical for both Windows security and the overall security of the Internet. We do not recommend blocking this endpoint. If traffic to this endpoint is turned off, Windows no longer automatically downloads certificates known to be fraudulent, which increases the attack vector on the device.||[Learn how to turn off traffic to all of the following endpoint(s).](manage-connections-from-windows-operating-system-components-to-microsoft-services.md#automatic-root-certificates-update)|

+# Windows 10, version 20H2, connection endpoints for non-Enterprise editions
+
+ **Applies to**
+
+- Windows 10 Home, version 20H2
+- Windows 10 Professional, version 20H2
+- Windows 10 Education, version 20H2
+
+In addition to the endpoints listed for [Windows 10 Enterprise](manage-windows-2004-endpoints.md), the following endpoints are available on other non-Enterprise editions of Windows 10, version 20H2.
+
+The following methodology was used to derive the network endpoints:
+
+1. Set up the latest version of Windows 10 on a test virtual machine using the default settings.
+2. Leave the device(s) running idle for a week ("idle" means a user is not interacting with the system/device).
+3. Use globally accepted network protocol analyzer/capturing tools and log all background egress traffic.
+4. Compile reports on traffic going to public IP addresses.
+5. The test virtual machine(s) was logged into using a local account, and was not joined to a domain or Azure Active Directory.
+6. All traffic was captured in our lab using a IPV4 network. Therefore, no IPV6 traffic is reported here.
+7. These tests were conducted in an approved Microsoft lab. It's possible your results may be different.
+8. These tests were conducted for one week. If you capture traffic for longer you may have different results.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Microsoft uses global load balancers that can appear in network trace-routes. For example, an endpoint for *.akadns.net might be used to load balance requests to an Azure datacenter, which can change over time.

### Saved Windows Credentials Protected
Starting with Windows 10, version 1511, domain credentials that are stored with Credential Manager are protected with Windows Defender Credential Guard. Credential Manager allows you to store three types of credentials: Windows credentials, certificate-based credentials, and generic credentials. Generic credentials such as user names and passwords that you use to log on to websites are not protected since the applications require your cleartext password. If the application does not need a copy of the password, they can save domain credentials as Windows credentials that are protected. Windows credentials are used to connect to other computers on a network. The following considerations apply to the Windows Defender Credential Guard protections for Credential Manager:
- - Windows credentials saved by Remote Desktop Client cannot be sent to a remote host. Attempts to use saved Windows credentials fail, displaying the error message "Logon attempt failed."
- - Applications that extract Windows credentials fail.
- - When credentials are backed up from a PC that has Windows Defender Credential Guard enabled, the Windows credentials cannot be restored. If you need to back up your credentials, you must do this before you enable Windows Defender Credential Guard. Otherwise, you cannot restore those credentials.
+* Windows credentials saved by Remote Desktop Client cannot be sent to a remote host. Attempts to use saved Windows credentials fail, displaying the error message "Logon attempt failed."

## Clearing TPM Considerations
Virtualization-based Security (VBS) uses the TPM to protect its key. So when the TPM is cleared then the TPM protected key used to encrypt VBS secrets is lost.

- We recommend enabling Windows Defender Credential Guard before a device is joined to a domain. If Windows Defender Credential Guard is enabled after domain join, the user and device secrets may already be compromised. In other words, enabling Credential Guard will not help to secure a device or identity that has already been compromised, which is why we recommend turning on Credential Guard as early as possible.
- You should perform regular reviews of the PCs that have Windows Defender Credential Guard enabled. This can be done with security audit policies or WMI queries. Here's a list of WinInit event IDs to look for:

- - **Event ID 14** Windows Defender Credential Guard (LsaIso.exe) configuration: \[**0x0** \| **0x1** \| **0x2**\], **0**
- - The first variable: **0x1** or **0x2** means that Windows Defender Credential Guard is configured to run. **0x0** means that it's not configured to run.
- - The second variable: **0** means that it's configured to run in protect mode. **1** means that it's configured to run in test mode. This variable should always be **0**.
- - **Event ID 15** Windows Defender Credential Guard (LsaIso.exe) is configured but the secure kernel is not running; continuing without Windows Defender Credential Guard.
- - **Event ID 16** Windows Defender Credential Guard (LsaIso.exe) failed to launch: \[error code\]
- - **Event ID 17** Error reading Windows Defender Credential Guard (LsaIso.exe) UEFI configuration: \[error code\]

For Windows Defender Credential Guard to provide protection, the computers you are protecting must meet certain baseline hardware, firmware, and software requirements, which we will refer to as [Hardware and software requirements](#hardware-and-software-requirements). Additionally, Windows Defender Credential Guard blocks specific authentication capabilities, so applications that require such capabilities will break. We will refer to these requirements as [Application requirements](#application-requirements). Beyond these requirements, computers can meet additional hardware and firmware qualifications, and receive additional protections. Those computers will be more hardened against certain threats.

+# Windows Hello for Business Known Deployment Issues
+
+The content of this article is to help troubleshoot and workaround known deployment issues for Windows Hello for Business. Each issue below will describe the applicable deployment type Windows versions.
+
+## Hybrid Key Trust Logon Broken Due to User Public Key Deletion
+
+Applies to:
+
+- Hybrid key trust deployments
+- Windows Server 2016, builds 14393.3930 to 14393.4048
+- Windows Server 2019, builds 17763.1457 to 17763.1613
+
+In Hybrid key trust deployments with domain controllers running certain builds of Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019, the user's Windows Hello for Business key is deleted after they sign-in. Subsequent sign-ins will fail until the user's key is synced during the next Azure AD Connect delta sync cycle.
+
+### Identifying User Public Key Deletion Issue
+
+After the user provisions a Windows Hello for Business credential in a hybrid key trust environment, the key must sync from Azure AD to AD during an Azure AD Connect sync cycle. The user's public key will be written to the msDS-KeyCredentialLink attribute of the user object.
+
+Before the user's Windows Hello for Business key is synced, sign-in's with Windows Hello for Business will fail with the error message, *"That option is temporarily unavailable. For now, please use a different method to sign in."* After the sync is successful, the user should be able to login and unlock with their PIN or enrolled biometrics.
+
+In environments impacted with this issue, after the first sign-in with Windows Hello for Business after provisioning is completed, the next sign-in attempt will fail. In environments where domain controllers are running a mix of builds, only some may be impacted by this issue and subsequent logon attempts may be sent different domain controllers. This may result in the sign-in failures appearing to be intermittent.
+
+After the initial logon attempt, the user's Windows Hello for Business public key is being deleted from the msDS-KeyCredentialLink attribute. This can be verified by querying a user's msDS-KeyCredentialLink attribute before and after sign-in. The msDS-KeyCredentialLink can be queried in AD using [Get-ADUser](https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/addsadministration/get-aduser) and specifying *msds-keycredentiallink* for the *-Properties* parameter.
+
+### Resolving User Public Key Deletion Issue
+
+To resolve this behavior, upgrade Windows Server 2016 and 2019 domain controllers to with the latest patches. For Windows Server 2016, this behavior is fixed in build 14393.4104 ([KB4593226](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4593226)) and later. For Windows Server 2019, this behavior is fixed in build 17763.1637 ([KB4592440](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4592440)).
+
+## Azure AD Joined Device Access to On-Premises Resources Using Key Trust and Third-Party Certificate Authority (CA)
+
+Applies to:
+
+- Azure AD joined key trust deployments
+- Third-party certificate authority (CA) issuing domain controller certificates
+
+Windows Hello for Business uses smart card based authentication for many operations. Smart card has special guidelines when using a third-party CA for certificate issuance, some of which apply to the domain controllers. Not all Windows Hello for Business deployment types require these configurations. Accessing on-premises resources from an Azure AD Joined device does require special configuration when using a third-party CA to issue domain controller certificates.
+
+For more information, read [Guidelines for enabling smart card logon with third-party certification authorities](
+https://docs.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/windows-server/windows-security/enabling-smart-card-logon-third-party-certification-authorities).
+
+### Identifying On-premises Resource Access Issues with Third-Party CAs
+
+This issue can be identified using network traces or Kerberos logging from the client. In the network trace, the client will fail to place a TGS_REQ request when a user attempts to access a resource. On the client, this can be observed in the Kerberos operation event log under **Application and Services/Microsoft/Windows/Security-Kerberos/Operational**. These logs are default disabled. The failure event for this case will include the following information:
+
+ Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-Kerberos/Operational
+ Source: Microsoft-Windows-Security-Kerberos
+ Event ID: 107
+ GUID: {98e6cfcb-ee0a-41e0-a57b-622d4e1b30b1}
+ Task Category: None
+ Level: Error
+ Keywords:
+ User: SYSTEM
+ Description:
+
+ The Kerberos client received a KDC certificate that does not have a matched domain name.
+
+ Expected Domain Name: ad.contoso.com
+ Error Code: 0xC000006D
+
+### Resolving On-premises Resource Access Issue with Third-Party CAs
+
+To resolve this issue, domain controller certificates need to be updated so the certificate subject contains directory path of the server object (distinguished name).
+Example Subject: CN=DC1 OU=Domain Controller, DC=ad, DC=contoso, DC=com
+
+Alternatively, you can set the subject alternative name (SAN) of the domain controller certificate to contain the server object's fully qualified domain name and the NETBIOS name of the domain.
+Example Subject Alternative Name:
+dns=dc1.ad.contoso.com
+dns=ad.contoso.com
+dns=ad
+
+## Key Trust Authentication Broken for Windows Server 2019
+
+Applies to:
+
+- Windows Server 2019
+- Hybrid key trust deployments
+- On-premises key trust deployments
+
+Domain controllers running early versions of Windows Server 2019 have an issue that prevents key trust authentication from working properly. Networks traces report KDC_ERR_CLIENT_NAME_MISMATCH.
+
+### Identifying Server 2019 Key Trust Authentication Issue
+
+On the client, authentication with Windows Hello for Business will fail with the error message, *"That option is temporarily unavailable. For now, please use a different method to sign in."*
+
+This error is usually presented on hybrid Azure AD joined devices in key trust deployments after Windows Hello for Business has been provisioned but before a user's key has synced from Azure AD to AD. If a user's key has been synced from Azure AD and the msDS-keycredentiallink attribute on the user object in AD has been populated for NGC, then it is possible that this error case is occurring.
+
+The other indicator of this failure case can be identified using network traces. If network traces are captured for a key trust sign-in event, the traces will show kerberos failing with the error KDC_ERR_CLIENT_NAME_MISMATCH.
+
+### Resolving Server 2019 Key Trust Authentication Issue
+
+This issue was fixed in Windows Server 2019, build 17763.316 ([KB4487044](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4487044/windows-10-update-kb4487044)). Upgrade all Windows Server 2019 domain controllers to Windows Server 2019, build 17763.316 or newer to resolve this behavior.
+
+## Certificate Trust Provisioning with AD FS Broken on Windows Server 2019
+
+Applies to:
+
+- Windows Server 2019
+- Hybrid certificate trust deployments
+- On-premises certificate trust deployments
+
+AD FS running on Windows Server 2019 fails to complete device authentication properly due to an invalid check of incoming scopes in the request. Device authentication to AD FS is a requirement for Windows Hello for Business to enroll a certificate using AD FS. The client will block Windows Hello for Business provisioning until this authentication is successful.
+
+### Identifying Certificate Trust with AD FS 2019 Enrollment Issue
+
+The provisioning experience for Windows Hello for Business will launch if a set of prerequisite checks done by the client are successful. The result of the provisioningAdmin checks is available in event logs under Microsoft-Windows-User Device Registration. If provisioning is blocked because device authentication has not successfully occurred, there will be an event ID 362 in the logs that states that *User has successfully authenticated to the enterprise STS: No*.
+
+ Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-User Device Registration/Admin
+ Source: Microsoft-Windows-User Device Registration
+ Date:
+ Event ID: 362
+ Task Category: None
+ Level: Warning
+ Keywords:
+ User:
+ Computer:
+ Description:
+ Windows Hello for Business provisioning will not be launched.
+ Device is AAD joined ( AADJ or DJ++ ): Yes
+ User has logged on with AAD credentials: Yes
+ Windows Hello for Business policy is enabled: Yes
+ Windows Hello for Business post-logon provisioning is enabled: Yes

+ User has successfully authenticated to the enterprise STS: No
+ Certificate enrollment method: enrollment authority
+ See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=832647 for more details.
+
+If a device has recently been joined to a domain, then there may be a delay before the device authentication occurs. If the failing state of this prerequisite check persists, then it can indicate an issue with the AD FS configuration.
+
+If this AD FS scope issue is present, event logs on the AD FS server will indicate an authentication failure from the client. This error will be logged in event logs under AD FS/Admin as event ID 1021 and the event will specify that the client is forbidden access to resource 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2009/12/identityserver/selfscope' with scope 'ugs':

+3. Under name type "ugs" and Click Apply > OK.
+4. Launch PowerShell as an administrator.
+5. Get the ObjectIdentifier of the application permission with the ClientRoleIdentifier parameter equal to "38aa3b87-a06d-4817-b275-7a316988d93b":
+
+``` PowerShell

+# Deploying Certificates to Key Trust Users to Enable RDP
+
+**Applies To**
+
+- Windows 10, version 1703 or later
+- Hybrid deployment
+- Key trust
+
+Windows Hello for Business supports using a certificate as the supplied credential when establishing a remote desktop connection to a server or other device. For certificate trust deployments, creation of this certificate occurs at container creation time.
+
+This document discusses an approach for key trust deployments where authentication certificates can be deployed to an existing key trust user.
+
+Three approaches are documented here:
+
+1. Deploying a certificate to hybrid joined devices using an on-premises Active Directory certificate enrollment policy.
+
+1. Deploying a certificate to hybrid or Azure AD joined devices using Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) and Intune.
+
+1. Working with non-Microsoft enterprise certificate authorities.
+
+## Deploying a certificate to a hybrid joined device using an on-premises Active Directory Certificate enrollment policy
+
+### Create a Windows Hello for Business certificate template
+
+1. Sign in to your issuing certificate authority (CA).
+
+1. Open the **Certificate Authority** Console (%windir%\system32\certsrv.msc).
+
+1. In the left pane of the MMC, expand **Certification Authority (Local)**, and then expand your CA within the Certification Authority list.
+
+1. Right-click **Certificate Templates** and then click **Manage** to open the **Certificate Templates** console.
+
+1. Right-click the **Smartcard Logon** template and click **Duplicate Template**
+
+ 
+
+1. On the **Compatibility** tab:
+ 1. Clear the **Show resulting changes** check box
+ 1. Select **Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2** from the Certification Authority list
+ 1. Select **Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2** from the Certification Recipient list
+
+1. On the **General** tab:
+ 1. Specify a Template display name, such as **WHfB Certificate Authentication**
+ 1. Set the validity period to the desired value
+ 1. Take note of the Template name for later, which should be the same as the Template display name minus spaces (**WHfBCertificateAuthentication** in this example).
+
+1. On the **Extensions** tab, verify the **Application Policies** extension includes **Smart Card Logon**.
+
+1. On the **Subject Name** tab:
+ 1. Select the **Build from this Active Directory** information button if it is not already selected
+ 1. Select **Fully distinguished name** from the **Subject name format** list if Fully distinguished name is not already selected
+ 1. Select the **User Principal Name (UPN)** check box under **Include this information in alternative subject name**
+1. On the **Request Handling** tab:
+ 1. Select the **Renew with same key** check box
+ 1. Set the Purpose to **Signature and smartcard logon**
+ 1. Click **Yes** when prompted to change the certificate purpose
+ 1. Click **Prompt the user during enrollment**
+
+1. On the **Cryptography** tab:
+ 1. Set the Provider Category to **Key Storage Provider**
+ 1. Set the Algorithm name to **RSA**
+ 1. Set the minimum key size to **2048**
+ 1. Select **Requests must use one of the following providers**
+ 1. Tick **Microsoft Software Key Storage Provider**
+ 1. Set the Request hash to **SHA256**
+
+1. On the **Security** tab, add the security group that you want to give **Enroll** access to. For example, if you want to give access to all users, select the **Authenticated** users group, and then select Enroll permissions for them .
+
+1. Click **OK** to finalize your changes and create the new template. Your new template should now appear in the list of Certificate Templates.
+
+1. Close the Certificate Templates console.
+
+1. Open an elevated command prompt and change to a temporary working directory.
+
+1. Execute the following command:
+
+ certutil -dstemplate \ \> \.txt
+
+ Replace \ with the Template name you took note of earlier in step 7.
+
+1. Open the text file created by the command above.
+ 1. Delete the last line of the output from the file that reads **CertUtil: -dsTemplate command completed successfully.**
+ 1. Modify the line that reads **pKIDefaultCSPs = "1,Microsoft Software Key Storage Provider"** to **pKIDefaultCSPs = "1,Microsoft Passport Key Storage Provider"**
+
+1. Save the text file.
+
+1. Update the certificate template by executing the following command:
+
+ certutil - dsaddtemplate \.txt
+
+1. In the Certificate Authority console, right-click **Certificate Templates**, select **New**, and select **Certificate Template to Issue**
+
+ 
+
+1. From the list of templates, select the template you previously created (**WHFB Certificate Authentication**) and click **OK**. It can take some time for the template to replicate to all servers and become available in this list.
+
+1. After the template replicates, in the MMC, right-click in the Certification Authority list, click **All Tasks** and then click **Stop Service**. Right-click the name of the CA again, click **All Tasks**, and then click **Start Service**.
+
+### Requesting a Certificate
+
+1. Ensure the hybrid Azure AD joined device has network line of sight to Active Directory domain controllers and the issuing certificate authority.
+
+1. Start the **Certificates – Current User** console (%windir%\system32\certmgr.msc).
+
+1. In the left pane of the MMC, right-click **Personal**, click **All Tasks**, and then click **Request New Certificate…**
+
+ 
+
+1. On the Certificate Enrollment screen, click **Next**.
+
+1. Under Select Certificate Enrollment Policy, ensure **Active Directory Enrollment Policy** is selected and then click **Next**.
+
+1. Under Request Certificates, click the check-box next to the certificate template you created in the previous section (WHfB Certificate Authentication) and then click **Enroll**.
+
+1. After a successful certificate request, click Finish on the Certificate Installation Results screen
+
+## Deploying a certificate to Hybrid or Azure AD Joined Devices using Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) via Intune
+
+Deploying a certificate to Azure AD Joined Devices may be achieved with the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) via Intune. For guidance deploying the required infrastructure, refer to [Configure infrastructure to support SCEP certificate profiles with Microsoft Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/intune/protect/certificates-scep-configure).
+
+Next you should deploy the root CA certificate (and any other intermediate certificate authority certificates) to Azure AD Joined Devices using a Trusted root certificate profile with Intune. For guidance, refer to [Create trusted certificate profiles in Microsoft Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/intune/protect/certificates-trusted-root).
+
+Once these requirements have been met, a new device configuration profile may be configured from Intune that provisions a certificate for the user of the device. Proceed as follows:
+
+1. Sign in to the Microsoft [Endpoint Manager admin center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431).
+
+1. Navigate to Devices \> Configuration Profiles \> Create profile.
+
+1. Enter the following properties:
+ 1. For Platform, select **Windows 10 and later**.
+ 1. For Profile, select **SCEP Certificate**.
+ 1. Click **Create**.
+
+1. In **Basics**, enter the following parameters:
+ 1. **Name**: Enter a descriptive name for the profile. Name your profiles so you can easily identify them later. For example, a good profile name is SCEP profile for entire company.
+ 1. **Description**: Enter a description for the profile. This setting is optional, but recommended.
+ 1. Select **Next**.
+
+1. In the **Configuration settings**, complete the following:
+ 1. For Certificate Type, choose **User**.
+ 1. For Subject name format, set it to **CN={{UserPrincipalName}}**.
+ 1. Under Subject alternative name, select **User principal name (UPN)** from the drop-down menu and set the value to **CN={{UserPrincipalName}}**.
+ 1. For Certificate validity period, set a value of your choosing.
+ 1. For Key storage provider (KSP), choose **Enroll to Windows Hello for Business, otherwise fail (Windows 10 and later)**.
+ 1. For Key usage, choose **Digital Signature**.
+ 1. For Key size (bits), choose **2048**.
+ 1. For Hash algorithm, choose **SHA-2**.
+ 1. Under Root Certificate, click **+Root Certificate** and select the trusted certificate profile you created earlier for the Root CA Certificate.
+ 1. Under Extended key usage, add the following:
+
+ | Name | Object Identifier | Predefined Values |

+
+1. In the left pane of the MMC, expand **Personal** and select **Certificates**
+
+1. In the right-hand pane of the MMC, check for the new certificate
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This infrastructure may also deploy the same certificates to co-managed or modern-managed Hybrid AAD-Joined devices using Intune Policies.
+
+## Using non-Microsoft Enterprise Certificate Authorities
+
+If you are using a Public Key Infrastructure that uses non-Microsoft services, the certificate templates published to the on-premises Active Directory may not be available. For guidance with integration of Intune/SCEP with non-Microsoft PKI deployments, refer to [Use third-party certification authorities (CA) with SCEP in Microsoft Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/intune/protect/certificate-authority-add-scep-overview).
+
+As an alternative to using SCEP or if none of the previously covered solutions will work in your environment, you can manually generate Certificate Signing Requests (CSR) for submission to your PKI. To assist with this approach, you can use the [Generate-CertificateRequest](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Generate-CertificateRequest) PowerShell commandlet.
+
+The Generate-CertificateRequest commandlet will generate an .inf file for a pre-existing Windows Hello for Business key. The .inf can be used to generate a certificate request manually using certreq.exe. The commandlet will also generate a .req file, which can be submitted to your PKI for a certificate.
+
+## RDP Sign-in with Windows Hello for Business Certificate Authentication
+
+After adding the certificate using an approach from any of the previous sections, you should be able to RDP to any Windows device or server in the same Forest as the user’s on-premises Active Directory account, provided the PKI certificate chain for the issuing certificate authority is deployed to that target server.
+
+1. Open the Remote Desktop Client (%windir%\system32\mstsc.exe) on the Hybrid AAD-Joined client where the authentication certificate has been deployed.
+1. Attempt an RDP session to a target server.
+1. Use the certificate credential protected by your Windows Hello for Business gesture.

-# 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. 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
-
-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 fall back mechanism that is not a password. The PIN is the fall back mechanism. Disabling or hiding the PIN credential provider disabled 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).

-
-## Does Windows Hello for Business work with Mac and Linux clients?
-Windows Hello for Business is a feature of Windows 10. At this time, Microsoft is not developing clients for other platforms. However, Microsoft is open to third parties who are interested in moving these platforms away from passwords. Interested third parties can get more information by emailing [whfbfeedback@microsoft.com](mailto:whfbfeedback@microsoft.com?subject=collaboration).

+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.

+ 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: How does Windows Hello for Business work with Azure AD registered devices?
+ answer: |
+ On Azure AD registered devices, a user will be asked to provision a Windows Hello for Business key if the feature is enabled by mobile device management policy. If the user has an existing Windows Hello container for use with their local or Microsoft connected account, the Windows Hello for Business key will be enrolled in their existing container and will be protected using their exiting gestures.
+
+ If a user has signed into their Azure AD registered device with Windows Hello, their Windows Hello for Business key will be used to authenticate the user's work identity when they try to use Azure AD resources. The Windows Hello for Business key meets Azure AD multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements and reduces the number of MFA prompts users will see when accessing resources.
+
+ It is possible to Azure AD register a domain joined device. If the domain joined device has a convenience PIN, login with the convenience PIN will no longer work. This configuration is not supported by Windows Hello for Business.
+
+ For more information please read [Azure AD registered devices](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/devices/concept-azure-ad-register).
+
+ - 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?

+
+ - 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.

+
+ - 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 multi-factor 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: Can I wear a mask to enroll or unlock using Windows Hello face authentication?
+ answer: |
+ Wearing a mask to enroll is a security concern because other users wearing a similar mask may be able to unlock you device. The product group is aware of this behavior and is investigating this topic further. Please remove a mask if you are wearing one when you enroll or unlock with Windows Hello face authentication. If your working environment doesn’t allow you to remove a mask temporarily, please consider unenrolling from face authentication and only using PIN or fingerprint.
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - question: Does Windows Hello for Business prevent the use of simple PINs?
+ answer: |
+ 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.
+
+ - question: How does PIN caching work with Windows Hello for Business?
+ answer: |
+ Windows Hello for Business provides a PIN caching user experience by 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.
+
+ - question: Can I disable the PIN while using Windows Hello for Business?
+ answer: |
+ No. The movement away from passwords is accomplished by gradually reducing the use of the password. In situations where you can't authenticate by using 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.
+
+ - question: How are keys protected?
+ answer: |
+ 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 do 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 need to reset the PIN (which means they'll need to use MFA to re-authenticate to the IDP before the IDP allows them to re-register).
+
+ - question: Can Windows Hello for Business work in air-gapped environments?
+ answer: |
+ 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.
+
+ - question: Can I use third-party authentication providers with Windows Hello for Business?
+ answer: |
+ Yes, if you're using 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).
+
+ - question: Does Windows Hello for Business work with third-party federation servers?
+ answer: |
+ Windows Hello for Business works with any third-party federation servers that support the protocols used during the provisioning experience. Interested third-parties can inquiry at [whfbfeedback@microsoft.com](mailto:whfbfeedback@microsoft.com?subject=collaboration).
+
+ | Protocol | Description |
+ | :---: | :--- |

+ | [[MS-OIDCE]: OpenID Connect 1.0 Protocol Extensions](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/mt766592.aspx) | Specifies the OpenID Connect 1.0 Protocol Extensions. These extensions define additional claims to carry information about the user, including the user principal name, a locally unique identifier, a time for password expiration, and a URL for password change. These extensions also define additional provider meta-data that enables the discovery of the issuer of access tokens and gives additional information about provider capabilities. |
+
+ - question: Does Windows Hello for Business work with Mac and Linux clients?
+ answer: |
+ Windows Hello for Business is a feature of Windows 10. At this time, Microsoft is not developing clients for other platforms. However, Microsoft is open to third-parties who are interested in moving these platforms away from passwords. Interested third-parties can get more information by emailing [whfbfeedback@microsoft.com](mailto:whfbfeedback@microsoft.com?subject=collaboration).

-# Windows Hello for Business Features
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- Windows 10
-
-Consider these additional features you can use after your organization deploys Windows Hello for Business.
-
-## Conditional access
-
-Azure Active Directory provides a wide set of options for protecting access to corporate resources. Conditional access provides more fine grained control over who can access certain resources and under what conditions. For more information see [Conditional Access](hello-feature-conditional-access.md).
-
-## Dynamic lock
-
-Dynamic lock uses a paired Bluetooth device to determine user presence and locks the device if a user is not present. For more information and configuration steps see [Dynamic Lock](hello-feature-dynamic-lock.md).
-
-## PIN reset
-
-Windows Hello for Business supports user self-management of their PIN. If a user forgets their PIN, they have the ability to reset it from Settings or the lock screen. The Microsoft PIN reset service can be used for completing this reset without the user needing to enroll a new Windows Hello for Business credential. For more information and configuration steps see [Pin Reset](hello-feature-pin-reset.md).
-
-## Dual Enrollment
-
-This feature enables provisioning of administrator Windows Hello for Business credentials that can be used by non-privileged accounts to perform administrative actions. These credentials can be used from the non-privileged accounts using **Run as different user** or **Run as administrator**. For more information and configuration steps see [Dual Enrollment](hello-feature-dual-enrollment.md).
-
-## Remote Desktop
-
-Users with Windows Hello for Business certificate trust can use their credential to authenticate to remote desktop sessions over RDP. When authenticating to the session, biometric gestures can be used if they are enrolled. For more information and configuration steps see [Remote Desktop](hello-feature-remote-desktop.md).

-# Technical Deep Dive
-
-**Applies to:**
-- Windows 10
-
-Windows Hello for Business authentication works through collection of components and infrastructure working together. You can group the infrastructure and components in three categories:
-- [Registration](#registration)
-- [Provisioning](#provisioning)
-- [Authentication](#authentication)
-
-## Registration
-
-Registration is a fundamental prerequisite for Windows Hello for Business. Without registration, Windows Hello for Business provisioning cannot start. Registration is where the device **registers** its identity with the identity provider. For cloud and hybrid deployments, the identity provider is Azure Active Directory and the device registers with the Azure Device Registration Service (ADRS). For on-premises deployments, the identity provider is Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS), and the device registers with the enterprise device registration service hosted on the federation servers (AD FS).
-
-[How Device Registration Works](hello-how-it-works-device-registration.md)
-
-
-## Provisioning
-
-Provisioning is when the user uses one form of authentication to request a new Windows Hello for Business credential. Typically the user signs in to Windows using user name and password. The provisioning flow requires a second factor of authentication before it will create a strong, two-factor Windows Hello for Business credential.
-After successfully completing the second factor of authentication, the user is asked to enroll biometrics (if available on the device) and create PIN as a backup gesture. Windows then registers the public version of the Windows Hello for Business credential with the identity provider.
-For cloud and hybrid deployments, the identity provider is Azure Active Directory and the user registers their key with the Azure Device Registration Service (ADRS). For on-premises deployments, the identity provider is Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS), and the user registers their key with the enterprise device registration service hosted on the federation servers.
-Provision can occur automatically through the out-of-box-experience (OOBE) on Azure Active Directory joined devices, or on hybrid Azure Active Directory joined devices where the user or device is influenced by Windows Hello for Business policy settings. Users can start provisioning through **Add PIN** from Windows Settings. Watch the [Windows Hello for Business enrollment experience](hello-videos.md#windows-hello-for-business-user-enrollment-experience) from our [Videos](hello-videos.md) page.

-
-## Authentication
-
-Authentication using Windows Hello for Business is the goal, and the first step in getting to a passwordless environment. With the device registered, and provisioning complete. Users can sign-in to Windows 10 using biometrics or a PIN. PIN is the most common gesture and is available on most computers and devices. Regardless of the gesture used, authentication occurs using the private portion of the Windows Hello for Business credential. The PIN nor the private portion of the credential are never sent to the identity provider, and the PIN is not stored on the device. It is user provided entropy when performing operations that use the private portion of the credential.

+Windows Hello for Business enforces the strict KDC validation security feature when authenticating from an Azure AD joined device to a domain. This enforcement imposes more restrictive criteria that must be met by the Key Distribution Center (KDC). When authenticating using Windows Hello for Business on an Azure AD joined device, the Windows 10 client validates the reply from the domain controller by ensuring all of the following are met:
- The domain controller has the private key for the certificate provided.
- The root CA that issued the domain controller's certificate is in the device's **Trusted Root Certificate Authorities**.
- Use the **Kerberos Authentication certificate template** instead of any other older template.
-- The domain controller's certificate has the **KDC Authentication** enhanced key usage.
+- The domain controller's certificate has the **KDC Authentication** enhanced key usage (EKU).
- The domain controller's certificate's subject alternate name has a DNS Name that matches the name of the domain.
- The domain controller's certificate's signature hash algorithm is **sha256**.
- The domain controller's certificate's public key is **RSA (2048 Bits)**.
+Authenticating from a Hybrid Azure AD joined device to a domain using Windows Hello for Business does not enforce that the domain controller certificate includes the **KDC Authentication** EKU. If you are adding Azure AD joined devices to an existing domain environment, make sure to verify that your domain controller certificate has been updated to include the **KDC Authentication** EKU. If you need to update your domain controller certificate to include the **KDC Authentication** EKU, follow the instructions in [Configure Hybrid Windows Hello for Business: Public Key Infrastructure](hello-hybrid-key-whfb-settings-pki.md)
> [!Tip]
> If you are using Windows Server 2008, **Kerberos Authentication** is not the default template, so make sure to use the correct template when issuing or re-issuing the certificate.

+All communication occurs securely over port 443.
## Prepare Azure AD Connect
Successful authentication to on-premises resources using a certificate requires the certificate to provide a hint about the on-premises domain. The hint can be the user's Active Directory distinguished name as the subject of the certificate, or the hint can be the user's user principal name where the suffix matches the Active Directory domain name.
Most environments change the user principal name suffix to match the organization's external domain name (or vanity domain), which prevents the user principal name as a hint to locate a domain controller. Therefore, the certificate needs the user's on-premises distinguished name in the subject to properly locate a domain controller.
-To include the on-premises distinguished name in the certificate's subject, Azure AD Connect must replicate the Active Directory **distinguishedName** attribute to the Azure Active Directory **onPremisesDistinguishedName** attribute. Azure AD Connect version 1.1.819 includes the proper synchronization rules need to for these attributes.

### Create a Web Application Proxy for the internal NDES URL.
Certificate enrollment for Azure AD joined devices occurs over the Internet. As a result, the internal NDES URLs must be accessible externally. You can do this easily and securely using Azure Active Directory Application Proxy. Azure AD Application Proxy provides single sign-on and secure remote access for web applications hosted on-premises, such as Network Device Enrollment Services.
-Ideally, you configure your Microsoft Intune SCEP certificate profile to use multiple external NDES URLs. This enables Microsoft Intune to round-robin load balance the certificate requests to identically configured NDES Servers (each NDES server can accommodate approximately 300 concurrent requests). Microsoft Intune sends these requests to Azure AD Application Proxies.

-Azure AD Application proxies are serviced by lightweight Application Proxy Connector agents. These agents are installed on your on-premises, domain joined devices and make authenticated secure outbound connection to Azure, waiting to process requests from Azure AD Application Proxies.

You can create connector groups in Azure Active Directory to assign specific connectors to service specific applications.
Connector group automatically round-robin, load balance the Azure AD Application proxy requests to the connectors within the assigned connector group. This ensures Windows Hello for Business certificate requests have multiple dedicated Azure AD Application Proxy connectors exclusively available to satisfy enrollment requests. Load balancing the NDES servers and connectors should ensure users enroll their Windows Hello for Business certificates in a timely manner.

+This section has you configure certificate templates on your Windows Server 2012 (or later) Active Directory Certificate Services issuing certificate authority.
### Domain Controller certificate template
Clients need to trust domain controllers and the best way to do this is to ensure each domain controller has a Kerberos Authentication certificate. Installing a certificate on the domain controller enables the Key Distribution Center (KDC) to prove its identity to other members of the domain. This provides clients a root of trust external to the domain - namely the enterprise certificate authority.
-Domain controllers automatically request a domain controller certificate (if published) when they discover an enterprise certificate authority is added to Active Directory. However, certificates based on the *Domain Controller* and *Domain Controller Authentication* certificate templates do not include the **KDC Authentication** object identifier (OID), which was later added to the Kerberos RFC. Therefore, domain controllers need to request a certificate based on the Kerberos Authentication certificate template.
+Domain controllers automatically request a domain controller certificate (if published) when they discover an enterprise certificate authority is added to Active Directory. However, certificates based on the *Domain Controller* and *Domain Controller Authentication* certificate templates do not include the **KDC Authentication** object identifier (OID), which was later added to the Kerberos RFC. Inclusion of the **KDC Authentication** OID in domain controller certificate is not required for key trust authentication from Hybrid Azure AD joined devices. The OID is required for enabling authentication with Windows Hello for Business to on-premises resources by Azure AD joined devices. The steps below to *Create a Domain Controller Authentication (Kerberos) Certificate Template* and *Configure Certificate Superseding for the Domain Controller Authentication (Kerberos) Certificate Template* to include the **KDC Authentication** OID in the domain controller certificate may be skipped if you only have Hybrid Azure AD Joined devices in your environment, but we recommend completing these steps if you are considering adding Azure AD joined devices to your environment in the future.
-By default, the Active Directory Certificate Authority provides and publishes the Kerberos Authentication certificate template. However, the cryptography configuration included in the provided template is based on older and less performant cryptography APIs. To ensure domain controllers request the proper certificate with the best available cryptography, use the **Kerberos Authentication** certificate template a baseline to create an updated domain controller certificate template.

+This section has you configure certificate templates on your Windows Server 2012 or later issuing certificate authority.
### Domain Controller certificate template
Clients need to trust domain controllers and the best way to do this is to ensure each domain controller has a Kerberos Authentication certificate. Installing a certificate on the domain controller enables the Key Distribution Center (KDC) to prove its identity to other members of the domain. This provides clients a root of trust external to the domain - namely the enterprise certificate authority.
-Domain controllers automatically request a domain controller certificate (if published) when they discover an enterprise certificate authority is added to Active Directory. However, certificates based on the *Domain Controller* and *Domain Controller Authentication* certificate templates do not include the **KDC Authentication** object identifier (OID), which was later added to the Kerberos RFC. Therefore, domain controllers need to request a certificate based on the Kerberos Authentication certificate template.
+Domain controllers automatically request a domain controller certificate (if published) when they discover an enterprise certificate authority is added to Active Directory. However, certificates based on the *Domain Controller* and *Domain Controller Authentication* certificate templates do not include the **KDC Authentication** object identifier (OID), which was later added to the Kerberos RFC. Inclusion of the **KDC Authentication** OID in domain controller certificate is not required for key trust authentication from Hybrid Azure AD joined devices. The OID is required for enabling authentication with Windows Hello for Business to on-premises resources by Azure AD joined devices. The steps below to update the domain controller certificate to include the **KDC Authentication** OID may be skipped if you only have Hybrid Azure AD Joined devices in your environment, but we recommend completing these steps if you are considering adding Azure AD joined devices to your environment in the future.
By default, the Active Directory Certificate Authority provides and publishes the Kerberos Authentication certificate template. However, the cryptography configuration included in the provided template is based on older and less performant cryptography APIs. To ensure domain controllers request the proper certificate with the best available cryptography, use the **Kerberos Authentication** certificate template a baseline to create an updated domain controller certificate template.

+# Windows Hello for Business Deployment Prerequisite Overview
-In Windows 10, Windows Hello for Business replaces passwords with strong two-factor authentication on PCs and mobile devices. This authentication consists of a new type of user credential that is tied to a device and uses a biometric or PIN.
-Windows Hello for Business lets user authenticate to an Active Directory or Azure Active Directory account.
+This article lists the infrastructure requirements for the different deployment models for Windows Hello for Business.
-Windows Hello addresses the following problems with passwords:
-
-- Strong passwords can be difficult to remember, and users often reuse passwords on multiple sites.
-- Server breaches can expose symmetric network credentials (passwords).
-- Passwords are subject to [replay attacks](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=615673).
-- Users can inadvertently expose their passwords due to [phishing attacks](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/phishing).

Congratulations! You are taking the first step forward in helping move your organizations away from password to a two-factor, convenience authentication for Windows — Windows Hello for Business. This planning guide helps you understand the different topologies, architectures, and components that encompass a Windows Hello for Business infrastructure.
This guide explains the role of each component within Windows Hello for Business and how certain deployment decisions affect other aspects of the infrastructure. Armed with your planning worksheet, you'll use that information to select the correct deployment guide for your needs.

There are three deployment models from which you can choose: cloud only, hybrid, and on-premises.
##### Cloud only
+
The cloud only deployment model is for organizations who only have cloud identities and do not access on-premises resources. These organizations typically join their devices to the cloud and exclusively use resources in the cloud such as SharePoint, OneDrive, and others. Also, because these users do not use on-premises resources, they do not need certificates for things like VPN because everything they need is hosted in Azure.
##### Hybrid

The hybrid deployment model is for organizations that:
-* Are federated with Azure Active Directory
-* Have identities synchronized to Azure Active Directory using Azure Active Directory Connect
-* Use applications hosted in Azure Active Directory, and want a single sign-in user experience for both on-premises and Azure Active Directory resources

The goal of Windows Hello for Business is to move organizations away from passwords by providing them a strong credential that provides easy two-factor authentication. The built-in provisioning experience accepts the user's weak credentials (username and password) as the first factor authentication; however, the user must provide a second factor of authentication before Windows provisions a strong credential.
-Cloud only and hybrid deployments provide many choices for multi-factor authentication. On-premises deployments must use a multi-factor authentication that provides an AD FS multi-factor adapter to be used in conjunction with the on-premises Windows Server 2016 AD FS server role.

## Debugging and tracing using WPP
-Windows software trace preprocessor (WPP) simplifies tracing the operation of the trace provider. It provides a mechanism for the trace provider to log real-time binary messages. Logged messages can be converted to a human-readable trace of the operation. For more information, see [Diagnostics with WPP - The NDIS blog](https://blogs.msdn.com/b/ndis/archive/2011/04/06/diagnostics-with-wpp.aspx).

-# 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 very 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?
-
-This happens 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 for use in case of disk failure, you need to 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.

+ questions:
+ - question: Can BitLocker deployment be automated in an enterprise environment?
+ answer: |
+ 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).
+
+ - question: Can BitLocker encrypt more than just the operating system drive?
+ answer: Yes.
+
+ - question: Is there a noticeable performance impact when BitLocker is enabled on a computer?
+ answer: Typically, there's a small performance overhead, often in single-digit percentages, which is relative to the throughput of the storage operations on which it needs to operate.
+
+ - question: How long will initial encryption take when BitLocker is turned on?
+ answer: |
+ 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.
+
+ - question: What happens if the computer is turned off during encryption or decryption?
+ answer: 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.
+
+ - question: Does BitLocker encrypt and decrypt the entire drive all at once when reading and writing data?
+ answer: 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.
+
+ - question: How can I prevent users on a network from storing data on an unencrypted drive?
+ answer: |
+ 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.
+
+ - question: What is Used Disk Space Only encryption?
+ answer: |
+ 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.

## Used Disk Space Only encryption
BitLocker in earlier Windows versions could take a long time to encrypt a drive, because it encrypted every byte on the volume (including parts that did not have data). That is still the most secure way to encrypt a drive, especially if a drive has previously contained confidential data that has since been moved or deleted. In that case, traces of the confidential data could remain on portions of the drive marked as unused.

-Network Unlock was introduced in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 as a BitLocker protector option for operating system volumes. Network Unlock enables easier management for BitLocker enabled desktops and servers in a domain environment by providing automatic unlock of operating system volumes at system reboot when connected to a wired corporate network. This feature requires the client hardware to have a DHCP driver implemented in its UEFI firmware.
-Without Network Unlock, operating system volumes protected by TPM+PIN protectors require a PIN to be entered when a computer reboots or resumes from hibernation (for example, by Wake on LAN).

+Network Unlock requires the following mandatory hardware and software configurations before it can automatically unlock domain-joined systems:
- You must be running at least Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012.

-For Network Unlock to work reliably on computers running Windows 8 and later, the first network adapter on the computer, usually the onboard adapter, must be configured to support DHCP and used for Network Unlock. This is especially worth noting when you have multiple adapters, and you wish to configure one without DHCP, such as for a lights-out management protocol. This configuration is necessary because Network Unlock will stop enumerating adapters when it reaches one with a DHCP port failure for any reason. Thus, if the first enumerated adapter does not support DHCP, is not plugged into the network, or fails to report availability of the DHCP port for any reason, then Network Unlock will fail.

## Network Unlock sequence
-The unlock sequence starts on the client side, when the Windows boot manager detects the existence of Network Unlock protector. It leverages the DHCP driver in UEFI to obtain an IP address for IPv4 and then broadcasts a vendor-specific DHCP request that contains the network key and a session key for the reply, all encrypted by the server's Network Unlock certificate, as described above. The Network Unlock provider on the supported WDS server recognizes the vendor-specific request, decrypts it with the RSA private key, and returns the network key encrypted with the session key via its own vendor-specific DHCP reply.

The Network Unlock provider on the supported WDS server recognizes the vendor-specific request, decrypts it with the RSA private key, and returns the network key encrypted with the session key via its own vendor-specific DHCP reply.
-On the server side, the WDS server role has an optional plugin component, like a PXE provider, which is what handles the incoming Network Unlock requests. The provider can also be configured with subnet restrictions, which would require that the IP address provided by the client in the Network Unlock request belong to a permitted subnet in order to release the network key to the client. In instances where the Network Unlock provider is unavailable, BitLocker fails over to the next available protector to unlock the drive. In a typical configuration, this means the standard TPM+PIN unlock screen is presented to unlock the drive.

-The server side configuration to enable Network Unlock also requires provisioning a 2048-bit RSA public/private key pair in the form of an X.509 certificate, and for the public key certificate to be distributed to the clients. This certificate must be managed and deployed through the Group Policy editor directly on a domain controller with at least a Domain Functional Level of Windows Server 2012. This certificate is the public key that encrypts the intermediate network key (which is one of the two secrets required to unlock the drive; the other secret is stored in the TPM).

+### Subnet policy configuration files on the WDS server (optional)
-By default, all clients with the correct Network Unlock Certificate and valid Network Unlock protectors that have wired access to a Network Unlock-enabled WDS server via DHCP are unlocked by the server. A subnet policy configuration file on the WDS server can be created to limit which subnet(s) Network Unlock clients can use to unlock.
+By default, the server unlocks clients that have the correct Network Unlock certificate and valid Network Unlock protectors that have wired access to a Network Unlock-enabled WDS server via DHCP. You can create a subnet policy configuration file on the WDS server to limit the subnets that Network Unlock clients can use for unlocking.
-The configuration file, called bde-network-unlock.ini, must be located in the same directory as the Network Unlock provider DLL (%windir%\System32\Nkpprov.dll) and it applies to both IPv6 and IPv4 DHCP implementations. If the subnet configuration policy becomes corrupted, the provider will fail and stop responding to requests.
+The configuration file, called *bde-network-unlock.ini*, must be located in the same directory as the Network Unlock provider dynamic-link library (*%windir%\System32\Nkpprov.dll*). The configuration file applies to both IPv6 and IPv4 DHCP implementations. If the subnet configuration policy becomes corrupted, then the provider fails and stops responding to requests.
-The subnet policy configuration file must use a “\[SUBNETS\]” section to identify the specific subnets. The named subnets may then be used to specify restrictions in certificate subsections. Subnets are defined as simple name-value pairs, in the common INI format, where each subnet has its own line, with the name on the left of the equals sign, and the subnet identified on the right of the equal sign as a Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) address or range. The key word “ENABLED” is disallowed for subnet names.

```
-Following the \[SUBNETS\] section, there can be sections for each Network Unlock certificate, identified by the certificate thumbprint formatted without any spaces, which define subnets clients can be unlocked from with that certificate.
+Following the `[SUBNETS]` section are sections for each Network Unlock certificate. A certificate is identified by the certificate thumbprint, which is formatted without any spaces. These sections define subnet clients that you can unlock by using that certificate.
> [!NOTE]
-> When specifying the certificate thumbprint, do not include any spaces. If spaces are included in the thumbprint the subnet configuration will fail because the thumbprint will not be recognized as valid.
+> When you specify the certificate thumbprint, don't include spaces. Thumbprints that include spaces aren't recognized as valid. The spaces will cause the subnet configuration to fail.
-Subnet restrictions are defined within each certificate section by denoting the allowed list of permitted subnets. If any subnet is listed in a certificate section, then only those subnets listed are permitted for that certificate. If no subnet is listed in a certificate section, then all subnets are permitted for that certificate. If a certificate does not have a section in the subnet policy configuration file, then no subnet restrictions are applied for unlocking with that certificate. This means for restrictions to apply to every certificate, there must be a certificate section for every Network Unlock certificate on the server, and an explicit allowed list set for each certificate section.
-Subnet lists are created by putting the name of a subnet from the \[SUBNETS\] section on its own line below the certificate section header. Then, the server will only unlock clients with this certificate on the subnet(s) specified as in the list. For troubleshooting, a subnet can be quickly excluded without deleting it from the section by simply commenting it out with a prepended semi-colon.

## Troubleshoot Network Unlock
-Troubleshooting Network Unlock issues begins by verifying the environment. Many times, a small configuration issue will be the root cause of the failure. Items to verify include:
+To troubleshoot Network Unlock problems, begin by verifying the environment. Often, a small configuration issue is the root cause of the failure. Verify these items:
-- Verify client hardware is UEFI-based and is on firmware version is 2.3.1 and that the UEFI firmware is in native mode without a Compatibility Support Module (CSM) for BIOS mode enabled. Do this by checking that the firmware does not have an option enabled such as "Legacy mode" or "Compatibility mode" or that the firmware does not appear to be in a BIOS-like mode.
-- All required roles and services are installed and started
-- Public and private certificates have been published and are in the proper certificate containers. The presence of the Network Unlock certificate can be verified in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC.exe) on the WDS server with the certificate snap-ins for the local computer enabled. The client certificate can be verified by checking the registry key **HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\\Software\\Policies\\Microsoft\\SystemCertificates\\FVE\_NKP** on the client computer.
-- Group policy for Network Unlock is enabled and linked to the appropriate domains.
-- Verify group policy is reaching the clients properly. This can be done using the GPRESULT.exe or RSOP.msc utilities.
-- Verify the clients were rebooted after applying the policy.
-- Verify the **Network (Certificate Based)** protector is listed on the client. This can be done using either manage-bde or Windows PowerShell cmdlets. For example the following command will list the key protectors currently configured on the C: drive of the local computer:

-# 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.

## What is BitLocker recovery?
BitLocker recovery is the process by which you can restore access to a BitLocker-protected drive in the event that you cannot unlock the drive normally. In a recovery scenario, you have the following options to restore access to the drive:
-- The user can supply the recovery password. If your organization allows users to print or store recovery passwords, the user can type in the 48-digit recovery password that they printed or stored on a USB drive or with your Microsoft Account online. (Saving a recovery password with your Microsoft Account online is only allowed when BitLocker is used on a PC that is not a member of a domain).
-- A data recovery agent can use their credentials to unlock the drive. If the drive is an operating system drive, the drive must be mounted as a data drive on another computer for the data recovery agent to unlock it.
-- A domain administrator can obtain the recovery password from AD DS and use it to unlock the drive. Storing recovery passwords in AD DS is recommended to provide a way for IT professionals to be able to obtain recovery passwords for drives in their organization if needed. This method requires that you have enabled this recovery method in the BitLocker Group Policy setting **Choose how BitLocker-protected operating system drives can be recovered** located at **Computer Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\BitLocker Drive Encryption\\Operating System Drives** in the Local Group Policy Editor. For more information, see [BitLocker Group Policy settings](bitlocker-group-policy-settings.md).

+
### What causes BitLocker recovery?
The following list provides examples of specific events that will cause BitLocker to enter recovery mode when attempting to start the operating system drive:
-- On PCs that use BitLocker Drive Encryption, or on devices such as tablets or phones that use [BitLocker Device Encryption](bitlocker-device-encryption-overview-windows-10.md) only, when an attack is detected, the device will immediately reboot and enter into BitLocker recovery mode. To take advantage of this functionality Administrators can set the **Interactive logon: Machine account lockout threshold** Group Policy setting located in **\\Computer Configuration\\Windows Settings\\Security Settings\\Local Policies\\Security Options** in the Local Group Policy Editor, or use the **MaxFailedPasswordAttempts** policy of [Exchange ActiveSync](/Exchange/clients/exchange-activesync/exchange-activesync) (also configurable through [Microsoft Intune](https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/enterprise-mobility-security/microsoft-intune)), to limit the number of failed password attempts before the device goes into Device Lockout.
-- On devices with TPM 1.2, changing the BIOS or firmware boot device order causes BitLocker recovery. However, devices with TPM 2.0 do not start BitLocker recovery in this case. TPM 2.0 does not consider a firmware change of boot device order as a security threat because the OS Boot Loader is not compromised.
-- Having the CD or DVD drive before the hard drive in the BIOS boot order and then inserting or removing a CD or DVD.
-- Failing to boot from a network drive before booting from the hard drive.
-- Docking or undocking a portable computer. In some instances (depending on the computer manufacturer and the BIOS), the docking condition of the portable computer is part of the system measurement and must be consistent to validate the system status and unlock BitLocker. This means that if a portable computer is connected to its docking station when BitLocker is turned on, then it might also need to be connected to the docking station when it is unlocked. Conversely, if a portable computer is not connected to its docking station when BitLocker is turned on, then it might need to be disconnected from the docking station when it is unlocked.
-- Changes to the NTFS partition table on the disk including creating, deleting, or resizing a primary partition.
-- Entering the personal identification number (PIN) incorrectly too many times so that the anti-hammering logic of the TPM is activated. Anti-hammering logic is software or hardware methods that increase the difficulty and cost of a brute force attack on a PIN by not accepting PIN entries until after a certain amount of time has passed.
-- Turning off the support for reading the USB device in the pre-boot environment from the BIOS or UEFI firmware if you are using USB-based keys instead of a TPM.
-- Turning off, disabling, deactivating, or clearing the TPM.
-- Upgrading critical early startup components, such as a BIOS or UEFI firmware upgrade, causing the related boot measurements to change.
-- Forgetting the PIN when PIN authentication has been enabled.
-- Updating option ROM firmware.
-- Upgrading TPM firmware.
-- Adding or removing hardware; for example, 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.
-- Changes to the master boot record on the disk.
-- Changes to the boot manager on the disk.
-- Hiding the TPM from the operating system. Some BIOS or UEFI settings can be used to prevent the enumeration of the TPM to the operating system. When implemented, this option can make the TPM hidden from the operating system. When the TPM is hidden, BIOS and UEFI secure startup are disabled, and the TPM does not respond to commands from any software.
-- Using a different keyboard that does not correctly enter the PIN or whose keyboard map does not match the keyboard map assumed by the pre-boot environment. This can prevent the entry of enhanced PINs.
-- Modifying the Platform Configuration Registers (PCRs) used by the TPM validation profile. For example, including **PCR\[1\]** would result in BitLocker measuring most changes to BIOS settings, causing BitLocker to enter recovery mode even when non-boot critical BIOS settings change.
+- On PCs that use BitLocker Drive Encryption, or on devices such as tablets or phones that use [BitLocker Device Encryption](bitlocker-device-encryption-overview-windows-10.md) only, when an attack is detected, the device will immediately reboot and enter into BitLocker recovery mode. To take advantage of this functionality, administrators can set the **Interactive logon: Machine account lockout threshold** Group Policy setting located in **\\Computer Configuration\\Windows Settings\\Security Settings\\Local Policies\\Security Options** in the Local Group Policy Editor. Or they can use the **MaxFailedPasswordAttempts** policy of [Exchange ActiveSync](/Exchange/clients/exchange-activesync/exchange-activesync) (also configurable through [Microsoft Intune](https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/enterprise-mobility-security/microsoft-intune)), to limit the number of failed password attempts before the device goes into Device Lockout.
+- On devices with TPM 1.2, changing the BIOS or firmware boot device order causes BitLocker recovery. However, devices with TPM 2.0 do not start BitLocker recovery in this case. TPM 2.0 does not consider a firmware change of boot device order as a security threat because the OS Boot Loader is not compromised.
+- Having the CD or DVD drive before the hard drive in the BIOS boot order and then inserting or removing a CD or DVD.
+- Failing to boot from a network drive before booting from the hard drive.
+- Docking or undocking a portable computer. In some instances (depending on the computer manufacturer and the BIOS), the docking condition of the portable computer is part of the system measurement and must be consistent to validate the system status and unlock BitLocker. So if a portable computer is connected to its docking station when BitLocker is turned on, then it might also need to be connected to the docking station when it is unlocked. Conversely, if a portable computer is not connected to its docking station when BitLocker is turned on, then it might need to be disconnected from the docking station when it is unlocked.
+- Changes to the NTFS partition table on the disk including creating, deleting, or resizing a primary partition.
+- Entering the personal identification number (PIN) incorrectly too many times so that the anti-hammering logic of the TPM is activated. Anti-hammering logic is software or hardware methods that increase the difficulty and cost of a brute force attack on a PIN by not accepting PIN entries until after a certain amount of time has passed.
+- Turning off the support for reading the USB device in the pre-boot environment from the BIOS or UEFI firmware if you are using USB-based keys instead of a TPM.
+- Turning off, disabling, deactivating, or clearing the TPM.
+- Upgrading critical early startup components, such as a BIOS or UEFI firmware upgrade, causing the related boot measurements to change.
+- Forgetting the PIN when PIN authentication has been enabled.
+- Updating option ROM firmware.
+- Upgrading TPM firmware.
+- Adding or removing hardware; for example, 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.
+- Changes to the master boot record on the disk.
+- Changes to the boot manager on the disk.
+- Hiding the TPM from the operating system. Some BIOS or UEFI settings can be used to prevent the enumeration of the TPM to the operating system. When implemented, this option can make the TPM hidden from the operating system. When the TPM is hidden, BIOS and UEFI secure startup are disabled, and the TPM does not respond to commands from any software.
+- Using a different keyboard that does not correctly enter the PIN or whose keyboard map does not match the keyboard map assumed by the pre-boot environment. This problem can prevent the entry of enhanced PINs.
+- Modifying the Platform Configuration Registers (PCRs) used by the TPM validation profile. For example, including **PCR\[1\]** would result in BitLocker measuring most changes to BIOS settings, causing BitLocker to enter recovery mode even when non-boot critical BIOS settings change.
> [!NOTE]
> Some computers have BIOS settings that skip measurements to certain PCRs, such as **PCR\[2\]**. Changing this setting in the BIOS would cause BitLocker to enter recovery mode because the PCR measurement will be different.

## Planning your recovery process
When planning the BitLocker recovery process, first consult your organization's current best practices for recovering sensitive information. For example: How does your enterprise handle lost Windows passwords? How does your organization perform smart card PIN resets? You can use these best practices and related resources (people and tools) to help formulate a BitLocker recovery model.
Organizations that rely on BitLocker Drive Encryption and BitLocker To Go to protect data on a large number of computers and removable drives running the Windows 10, Windows 8, or Windows 7 operating systems and Windows to Go should consider using the Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) Tool version 2.0, which is included in the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) for Microsoft Software Assurance. MBAM makes BitLocker implementations easier to deploy and manage and allows administrators to provision and monitor encryption for operating system and fixed drives. MBAM prompts the user before encrypting fixed drives. MBAM also manages recovery keys for fixed and removable drives, making recovery easier to manage. MBAM can be used as part of a Microsoft System Center deployment or as a stand-alone solution. For more info, see [Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring](/microsoft-desktop-optimization-pack/mbam-v25/).
-After a BitLocker recovery has been initiated, users can use a recovery password to unlock access to encrypted data. You must consider both self-recovery and recovery password retrieval methods for your organization.

### Self-recovery
-In some cases, users might have the recovery password in a printout or a USB flash drive and can perform self-recovery. We recommend that your organization create a policy for self-recovery. If self-recovery includes using a password or recovery key stored on a USB flash drive, the users should be warned not to store the USB flash drive in the same place as the PC, especially during travel, for example if both the PC and the recovery items are in the same bag it would be very easy for access to be gained to the PC by an unauthorized user. Another policy to consider is having users contact the Helpdesk before or after performing self-recovery so that the root cause can be identified.

### Post-recovery analysis
When a volume is unlocked using a recovery password, an event is written to the event log and the platform validation measurements are reset in the TPM to match the current configuration. Unlocking the volume means that the encryption key has been released and is ready for on-the-fly encryption
when data is written to the volume, and on-the-fly decryption when data is read from the volume. After the volume is unlocked, BitLocker behaves the same way, regardless of how the access was granted.

The tool uses the BitLocker key package to help recover encrypted data from severely damaged drives. You can then use this recovered data to salvage encrypted data, even after the correct recovery password has failed to unlock the damaged volume. We recommend that you still save the recovery password. A key package cannot be used without the corresponding recovery password.

-Windows PowerShell or the manage-bde command line interface is the preferred method to manage BitLocker on CSV2.0 volumes. This is recommended over the BitLocker Control Panel item because CSV2.0 volumes are mount points. Mount points are an NTFS object that is used to provide an entry point to other volumes. Mount points do not require the use of a drive letter. Volumes that lack drive letters do not appear in the BitLocker Control Panel item. Additionally, the new Active Directory-based protector option required for cluster disk resource or CSV2.0 resources is not available in the Control Panel item.

This is a benefit when an employee leaves your company, or in the case of a stolen device. After determining that the data access needs to be removed, you can use Microsoft Intune to unenroll the device so when it connects to the network, the user's encryption key for the device is revoked and the enterprise data becomes unreadable.

@@ -30,7 +31,7 @@ This event generates every time that a backup is attempted for the [DPAPI](https
When a computer is a member of a domain, DPAPI has a backup mechanism to allow unprotection of the data. When a Master Key is generated, DPAPI communicates with a domain controller. Domain controllers have a domain-wide public/private key pair, associated solely with DPAPI. The local DPAPI client gets the domain controller public key from a domain controller by using a mutually authenticated and privacy protected RPC call. The client encrypts the Master Key with the domain controller public key. It then stores this backup Master Key along with the Master Key protected by the user's password.
-Periodically, a domain-joined machine will try to send an RPC request to a domain controller to back up the user’s master key so that the user can recover secrets in case his or her password has to be reset. Although the user's keys are stored in the user profile, a domain controller must be contacted to encrypt the master key with a domain recovery key.

-To help protect your company from attacks which may originate from untrusted or attacker controlled font files, we’ve created the Blocking Untrusted Fonts feature. Using this feature, you can turn on a global setting that stops your employees from loading untrusted fonts processed using the Graphics Device Interface (GDI) onto your network. Untrusted fonts are any font installed outside of the `%windir%/Fonts` directory. Blocking untrusted fonts helps prevent both remote (web-based or email-based) and local EOP attacks that can happen during the font file-parsing process.

+# Protect your organization’s data with device control
+
+**Applies to:** [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2069559)
+
+Microsoft Defender for Endpoint device control protects against data loss, by monitoring and controlling media use by devices in your organization, such as the use of removable storage devices and USB drives.
+
+With the device control report, you can view events that relate to media usage, such as:
+
+- **Audit events:** Shows the number of audit events that occur when external media is connected.
+- **Policy events:** Shows the number of policy events that occur when a device control policy is triggered.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The audit event to track media usage is enabled by default for devices onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
+
+## Understanding the audit events
+
+The audit events include:
+
+- **USB drive mount and unmount:** Audit events that are generated when a USB drive is mounted or unmounted.
+- **PnP:** Plug and Play audit events are generated when removable storage, a printer, or Bluetooth media is connected.
+
+## Monitor device control security
+
+Device control in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint empowers security administrators with tools that enable them to track their organization’s device control security through reports. You can find the device control report in the Microsoft 365 security center by going to **Reports > Device protection**.
+
+The Device protection card on the **Reports** dashboard shows the number of audit events generated by media type, over the last 180 days.
+
+> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
+> 
+
+The **View details** button shows more media usage data in the **device control report** page.
+
+The page provides a dashboard with aggregated number of events per type and a list of events. Administrators can filter on time range, media class name, and device ID.
+
+> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
+> 
+
+When you select an event, a flyout appears that shows you more information:
+
+- **General details:** Date, Action mode, and the policy of this event.
+- **Media information:** Media information includes Media name, Class name, Class GUID, Device ID, Vendor ID, Volume, Serial number, and Bus type.
+- **Location details:** Device name and MDATP device ID.
+
+> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
+> 
+
+To see real-time activity for this media across the organization, select the **Open Advanced hunting** button. This includes an embedded, pre-defined query.
+
+> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
+> 
+
+To see the security of the device, select the **Open device page** button on the flyout. This button opens the device entity page.
+
+> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
+> 
+
+## Reporting delays
+
+The device control report can have a 12-hour delay from the time a media connection occurs to the time the event is reflected in the card or in the domain list.

+Configurable code integrity policies and HVCI are powerful protections that can be used separately. However, when these two technologies are configured to work together, they present a strong protection capability for Windows 10 devices.
Using configurable code integrity to restrict devices to only authorized apps has these advantages over other solutions:
1. Configurable code integrity policy is enforced by the Windows kernel itself. As such, the policy takes effect early in the boot sequence before nearly all other OS code and before traditional antivirus solutions run.
2. Configurable code integrity allows customers to set application control policy not only over code running in user mode, but also kernel mode hardware and software drivers and even code that runs as part of Windows.
-3. Customers can protect the configurable code integrity policy even from local administrator tampering by digitally signing the policy. This would mean that changing the policy would require both administrative privilege and access to the organization’s digital signing process, making it extremely difficult for an attacker with administrative privilege, or malicious software that managed to gain administrative privilege, to alter the application control policy.
-4. The entire configurable code integrity enforcement mechanism can be protected by HVCI, where even if a vulnerability exists in kernel mode code, the likelihood that an attacker could successfully exploit it is significantly diminished. Why is this relevant? That’s because an attacker that compromises the kernel would otherwise have enough privilege to disable most system defenses and override the application control policies enforced by configurable code integrity or any other application control solution.

## Windows Defender Application Control
-When we originally designed this configuration state, we did so with a specific security promise in mind. Although there were no direct dependencies between configurable code integrity and HVCI, we intentionally focused our discussion around the lockdown state you achieve when deploying them together. However, given that HVCI relies on Windows virtualization-based security, it comes with additional hardware, firmware, and kernel driver compatibility requirements that some older systems can’t meet. As a result, many IT Professionals assumed that because some systems couldn't use HVCI, they couldn’t use configurable code integrity either.

Configurable code integrity carries no specific hardware or software requirements other than running Windows 10, which means many IT professionals were wrongly denied the benefits of this powerful application control capability.
-Since the initial release of Windows 10, the world has witnessed numerous hacking and malware attacks where application control alone could have prevented the attack altogether. With this in mind, we are discussing and documenting configurable code integrity as a independent technology within our security stack and giving it a name of its own: [Windows Defender Application Control](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-control).

Memory integrity is a feature of Windows that ensures code running in the Windows kernel is securely designed and trustworthy. It uses hardware virtualization and Hyper-V to protect Windows kernel mode processes from the injection and execution of malicious or unverified code. The integrity of code that runs on Windows is validated by memory integrity, making Windows resistant to attacks from malicious software. Memory integrity is a powerful security boundary that helps to block many types of malware from running in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 environments.

# FIPS 140-2 Validation
## FIPS 140-2 standard overview
-The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 is a U.S. government standard that defines minimum security requirements for cryptographic modules in information technology products, as defined in Section 5131 of the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996.
+The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 is a U.S. government standard. FIPS is based on Section 5131 of the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996. It defines the minimum security requirements for cryptographic modules in IT products.
-The [Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP)](https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program), a joint effort of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS), validates cryptographic modules against the Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules (part of FIPS 140-2) and related FIPS cryptography standards. The FIPS 140-2 security requirements cover eleven areas related to the design and implementation of a cryptographic module. The NIST Information Technology Laboratory operates a related program that validates the FIPS approved cryptographic algorithms in the module.

## Microsoft’s approach to FIPS 140-2 validation
-Microsoft maintains an active commitment to meeting the requirements of the FIPS 140-2 standard, having validated cryptographic modules against it since the inception of the standard in 2001. Microsoft validates its cryptographic modules under the NIST CMVP, as described above. Multiple Microsoft products, including Windows 10, Windows Server, and many cloud services, use these cryptographic modules.

Multiple Microsoft products, including Windows 10, Windows Server, and many cloud services, use these cryptographic modules.
## Using Windows in a FIPS 140-2 approved mode of operation
-Windows 10 and Windows Server may be configured to run in a FIPS 140-2 approved mode of operation. This is commonly referred to as “FIPS mode.” When this mode is enabled, the Cryptographic Primitives Library (bcryptprimitives.dll) and Kernel Mode Cryptographic Primitives Library (CNG.sys) modules will run self-tests before Windows cryptographic operations are run. These self-tests are run in accordance with FIPS 140-2 Section 4.9 and are utilized to ensure that the modules are functioning properly. The Cryptographic Primitives Library and the Kernel Mode Cryptographic Primitives Library are the only modules affected by this mode of operation. The FIPS 140-2 approved mode of operation will not prevent Windows and its subsystems from using non-FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms. For applications or components beyond the Cryptographic Primitives Library and the Kernel Mode Cryptographic Primitives Library, FIPS mode is merely advisory.
-
-While US government regulations continue to mandate that FIPS mode be enabled on government computers running Windows, our recommendation is that it is each customer’s decision to make when considering enabling FIPS mode. There are many applications and protocols that look to the FIPS mode policy to determine which cryptographic functionality should be utilized in a given solution. We recommend that customers hoping to comply with FIPS 140-2 research the configuration settings of applications and protocols they may be using to ensure their solutions can be configured to utilize the FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography provided by Windows when it is operating in FIPS 140-2 approved mode.

+Windows 10 and Windows Server may be configured to run in a FIPS 140-2 approved mode of operation, commonly referred to as "FIPS mode." If you turn on FIPS mode, the Cryptographic Primitives Library (bcryptprimitives.dll) and Kernel Mode Cryptographic Primitives Library (CNG.sys) modules will run self-tests before Windows runs cryptographic operations. These self-tests are run according to FIPS 140-2 Section 4.9. They ensure that the modules are functioning properly.
+
+The Cryptographic Primitives Library and the Kernel Mode Cryptographic Primitives Library are the only modules affected by FIPS mode. FIPS mode won't prevent Windows and its subsystems from using non-FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms. FIPS mode is merely advisory for applications or components other than the Cryptographic Primitives Library and the Kernel Mode Cryptographic Primitives Library.
+
+US government regulations continue to mandate FIPS mode for government devices running Windows. Other customers should decide for themselves if FIPS mode is right for them. There are many applications and protocols that use FIPS mode policy to determine which cryptographic functionality to run. Customers seeking to follow the FIPS 140-2 standard should research the configuration settings of their applications and protocols. This research will help ensure that they can be configured to use FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography.
+
Achieving this FIPS 140-2 approved mode of operation of Windows requires administrators to complete all four steps outlined below.
### Step 1: Ensure FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules are installed
-Administrators must ensure that all cryptographic modules installed are FIPS 140-2 validated. This is accomplished by cross-checking the version number of the cryptographic module with the table of validated modules at the end of this topic, organized by operating system release.
+Administrators must ensure that all cryptographic modules installed are FIPS 140-2 validated. Tables listing validated modules, organized by operating system release, are available later in this article.
### Step 2: Ensure all security policies for all cryptographic modules are followed
-Each of the cryptographic modules has a defined security policy that must be met for the module to operate in its FIPS 140-2 approved mode. The security policy may be found in each module’s published Security Policy Document (SPD). The SPDs for each module may be found by following the links in the table of validated modules at the end of this topic. Click on the module version number to view the published SPD for the module.

Select the module version number to view the published SPD for the module.
+
### Step 3: Enable the FIPS security policy
-Windows provides the security policy setting, “System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing,” which is used by some Microsoft products to determine whether to operate in a FIPS 140-2 approved mode. When this policy is enabled, the validated cryptographic modules in Windows will also operate in FIPS approved mode. The policy may be set using Local Security Policy, as part of Group Policy, or through a Modern Device Management (MDM) solution. For more information on the policy, see [System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/system-cryptography-use-fips-compliant-algorithms-for-encryption-hashing-and-signing).

For more information on the policy, see [System cryptography: Use FIPS-compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/system-cryptography-use-fips-compliant-algorithms-for-encryption-hashing-and-signing).
-### Step 4: Ensure only FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms are used
+### Step 4: Ensure that only FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms are used
-Neither the operating system nor the cryptographic modules can enforce a FIPS approved mode of operation, regardless of the FIPS security policy setting. To run in a FIPS approved mode, an application or service must check for the policy flag and enforce the security policies of the validated modules. If an application or service uses a non-approved cryptographic algorithm or does not follow the security policies of the validated modules, it is not operating in a FIPS approved mode.
+FIPS mode is enforced at the level of the application or service. It is not enforced by the operating system or by individual cryptographic modules. Applications or services running in FIPS mode must follow the security policies of validated modules. They must not use a cryptographic algorithm that isn't FIPS-compliant.
+
+In short, an application or service is running in FIPS mode if it:
+
+* Checks for the policy flag
+* Enforces security policies of validated modules
## Frequently asked questions
-### How long does it take to certify cryptographic modules?
+### How long does it take to certify a cryptographic module?
Microsoft begins certification of cryptographic modules after each major feature release of Windows 10 and Windows Server. The duration of each evaluation varies, depending on many factors.
@@ -59,29 +66,29 @@ Microsoft begins certification of cryptographic modules after each major feature
The cadence for starting module validation aligns with the feature updates of Windows 10 and Windows Server. As the software industry evolves, operating systems release more frequently. Microsoft completes validation work on major releases but, in between releases, seeks to minimize the changes to the cryptographic modules.
-### What is the difference between “FIPS 140 validated” and “FIPS 140 compliant”?
+### What is the difference between *FIPS 140 validated* and *FIPS 140 compliant*?
-“FIPS 140 validated” means that the cryptographic module, or a product that embeds the module, has been validated (“certified”) by the CMVP as meeting the FIPS 140-2 requirements. “FIPS 140 compliant” is an industry term for IT products that rely on FIPS 140 validated products for cryptographic functionality.

-### I need to know if a Windows service or application is FIPS 140-2 validated.
+### How do I know if a Windows service or application is FIPS 140-2 validated?
-The cryptographic modules leveraged in Windows are validated through the CMVP, not individual services, applications, hardware peripherals, or other solutions. For a solution to be considered compliant, it must call a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module in the underlying OS and the OS must be configured to run in FIPS mode. Contact the vendor of the service, application, or product for information on whether it calls a validated cryptographic module.

+### What does *When operated in FIPS mode* mean on a certificate?
-This caveat identifies required configuration and security rules that must be followed to use the cryptographic module in a way that is consistent with its FIPS 140-2 security policy. Each module has its own security policy—a precise specification of the security rules under which it will operate—and employs approved cryptographic algorithms, cryptographic key management, and authentication techniques. The security rules are defined in the Security Policy Document (SPD) for each module.

### What is the relationship between FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria?
-These are two separate security standards with different, but complementary, purposes. FIPS 140-2 is designed specifically for validating software and hardware cryptographic modules, while Common Criteria is designed to evaluate security functions in IT software and hardware products. Common Criteria evaluations often rely on FIPS 140-2 validations to provide assurance that basic cryptographic functionality is implemented properly.

### How does FIPS 140 relate to Suite B?
-Suite B is a set of cryptographic algorithms defined by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) as part of its Cryptographic Modernization Program. The set of Suite B cryptographic algorithms are to be used for both unclassified information and most classified information. The Suite B cryptographic algorithms are a subset of the FIPS Approved cryptographic algorithms as allowed by the FIPS 140-2 standard.

### Is SMB3 (Server Message Block) FIPS 140 compliant in Windows?
-When Windows is configured to operate in FIPS 140 approved mode on both client and server, SMB3 is FIPS 140 compliant and relies on the underlying Windows FIPS 140 validated cryptographic modules for cryptographic operations.
+SMB3 can be FIPS 140 compliant, if Windows is configured to operate in FIPS 140 mode on both client and server. In FIPS mode, SMB3 relies on the underlying Windows FIPS 140 validated cryptographic modules for cryptographic operations.

+# Phishing trends and techniques
+
+Phishing attacks are scams that often use social engineering bait or lure content. Legitimate-looking communication, usually email, that links to a phishing site is one of the most common methods used in phishing attacks. The phishing site typically mimics sign in pages that require users to input credentials and account information. The phishing site then captures the sensitive information as soon as the user provides it, giving attackers access to the information.
+
+Below are some of the most common phishing techniques attackers will employ to try to steal information or gain access to your devices.
+
+## Invoice phishing
+
+In this scam, the attacker attempts to lure you with an email stating that you have an outstanding invoice from a known vendor or company. They then provide a link for you to access and pay your invoice. When you access the site, the attacker is poised to steal your personal information and funds.
+
+## Payment/delivery scam
+
+You're asked to provide a credit card or other personal information so that your payment information can be updated with a commonly known vendor or supplier. The update is requested so that you can take delivery of your ordered goods. Generally, you may be familiar with the company and have likely done business with them in the past. However, you aren't aware of any items you have recently purchased from them.
+
+## Tax-themed phishing scams
+
+A common IRS phishing scam is receiving an urgent email letter indicating that you owe money to the IRS. Often the email threatens legal action if you don't access the site in a timely manner and pay your taxes. When you access the site, the attackers can steal your personal credit card or bank information and drain your accounts.
+
+## Downloads
+
+An attacker sends a fraudulent email requesting you to open or download a document attachment, such as a PDF. The attachment often contains a message asking you to sign in to another site, such as email or file sharing websites, to open the document. When you access these phishing sites using your sign-in credentials, the attacker now has access to your information and can gain additional personal information about you.
+
+## Phishing emails that deliver other threats
+
+Phishing emails are often effective, so attackers sometimes use them to distribute [ransomware](ransomware-malware.md) through links or attachments in emails. When run, the ransomware encrypts files and displays a ransom note, which asks you to pay a sum of money to access to your files.
+
+We have also seen phishing emails that have links to [tech support scam](support-scams.md) websites. These websites use various scare tactics to trick you into calling hotlines and paying for unnecessary "technical support services" that supposedly fix contrived device, platform, or software problems.
+
+## Spear phishing
+
+Spear phishing is a targeted phishing attack that involves highly customized lure content. Attackers will typically do reconnaissance work by surveying social media and other information sources about their intended target.
+
+Spear phishing may involve tricking you into logging into fake sites and divulging credentials. I may also lure you into opening documents by clicking on links that automatically install malware. With this malware in place, attackers can remotely manipulate the infected computer.
+
+The implanted malware serves as the point of entry for a more sophisticated attack, known as an advanced persistent threat (APT). APTs are designed to establish control and steal data over extended periods. Attackers may try to deploy more covert hacking tools, move laterally to other computers, compromise or create privileged accounts, and regularly exfiltrate information from compromised networks.
+
+## Whaling
+
+Whaling is a form of phishing directed at high-level or senior executives within specific companies to gain access to their credentials and/or bank information. The content of the email may be written as a legal subpoena, customer complaint, or other executive issue. This type of attack can also lead to an APT attack within an organization.
+
+## Business email compromise
+
+Business email compromise (BEC) is a sophisticated scam that targets businesses who frequently work with foreign suppliers or do money wire transfers. One of the most common schemes used by BEC attackers involves gaining access to a company’s network through a spear phishing attack. The attacker creates a domain similar to the company they're targeting, or spoofs their email to scam users into releasing personal account information for money transfers.

-# Phishing
+# How to protect against phishing attacks
Phishing attacks attempt to steal sensitive information through emails, websites, text messages, or other forms of electronic communication. They try to look like official communication from legitimate companies or individuals.
Cybercriminals often attempt to steal usernames, passwords, credit card details, bank account information, or other credentials. They use stolen information for malicious purposes, such as hacking, identity theft, or stealing money directly from bank accounts and credit cards. The information can also be sold in cybercriminal underground markets.
-## What to do if you've been a victim of a phishing scam
-
-If you feel you've been a victim of a phishing attack:
-
-1. Contact your IT admin if you are on a work computer.
-2. Immediately change all passwords associated with the accounts.
-3. Report any fraudulent activity to your bank and credit card company.
-
-### Reporting spam
-
-- **Outlook.com**: If you receive a suspicious email message that asks for personal information, select the check box next to the message in your Outlook inbox. Select the arrow next to **Junk**, and then select **Phishing**.
-
-- **Microsoft Office Outlook**: While in the suspicious message, select **Report message** from the ribbon, and then select **Phishing**.
-
-- **Microsoft**: Create a new, blank email message with the one of the following recipients:
- - Junk: junk@office365.microsoft.com
- - Phishing: phish@office365.microsoft.com
-
- Drag and drop the junk or phishing message into the new message. This will save the junk or phishing message as an attachment in the new message. Don't copy and paste the content of the message or forward the message (we need the original message so we can inspect the message headers). For more information, see [Submit spam, non-spam, and phishing scam messages to Microsoft for analysis](https://docs.microsoft.com/office365/SecurityCompliance/submit-spam-non-spam-and-phishing-scam-messages-to-microsoft-for-analysis).
-
-- **Anti-Phishing Working Group**: phishing-report@us-cert.gov. The group uses reports generated from emails sent to fight phishing scams and hackers. ISPs, security vendors, financial institutions, and law enforcement agencies are involved.
-
-If you’re on a suspicious website:
-
-- **Microsoft Edge**: While you’re on a suspicious site, select the **More (…) icon** > **Help and feedback** > **Report Unsafe site**. Follow the instructions on the webpage that displays to report the website.
-
-- **Internet Explorer**: While you’re on a suspicious site, select the gear icon, point to **Safety**, and then select **Report Unsafe Website**. Follow the instructions on the webpage that displays to report the website.

-## How phishing works
-
-Phishing attacks are scams that often use social engineering bait or lure content. For example, during tax season bait content can be tax-filing announcements that attempt to lure you into providing personal information such as your SSN or bank account information.
-
-Legitimate-looking communication, usually email, that links to a phishing site is one of the most common methods used in phishing attacks. The phishing site typically mimics sign in pages that require users to input credentials and account information. The phishing site then captures the sensitive information as soon as the user provides it, giving attackers access to the information.
-
-Another common phishing technique is the use of emails that direct you to open a malicious attachment like a PDF file. The attachment often contains a message asking you to sign in to another site, such as email or file sharing websites, to open the document. When you access these phishing sites using your sign-in credentials, the attacker now has access to your information and can gain additional personal information about you.

+## What to do if you've been a victim of a phishing scam
+
+If you feel you've been a victim of a phishing attack:
+
+1. Contact your IT admin if you are on a work computer
+2. Immediately change all passwords associated with the accounts
+3. Report any fraudulent activity to your bank and credit card company
+
+### Reporting spam
+
+- **Outlook.com**: If you receive a suspicious email message that asks for personal information, select the check box next to the message in your Outlook inbox. Select the arrow next to **Junk**, and then select **Phishing**.
+
+- **Microsoft Office Outlook**: While in the suspicious message, select **Report message** from the ribbon, and then select **Phishing**.
+
+- **Microsoft**: Create a new, blank email message with the one of the following recipients:
+ - Junk: junk@office365.microsoft.com
+ - Phishing: phish@office365.microsoft.com
+
+ Drag and drop the junk or phishing message into the new message. This will save the junk or phishing message as an attachment in the new message. Don't copy and paste the content of the message or forward the message (we need the original message so we can inspect the message headers). For more information, see [Submit spam, non-spam, and phishing scam messages to Microsoft for analysis](https://docs.microsoft.com/office365/SecurityCompliance/submit-spam-non-spam-and-phishing-scam-messages-to-microsoft-for-analysis).
+
+- **Anti-Phishing Working Group**: phishing-report@us-cert.gov. The group uses reports generated from emails sent to fight phishing scams and hackers. ISPs, security vendors, financial institutions, and law enforcement agencies are involved.
+
+### If you’re on a suspicious website
+
+- **Microsoft Edge**: While you’re on a suspicious site, select the **More (…) icon** > **Help and feedback** > **Report Unsafe site**. Follow the instructions on the webpage that displays to report the website.
+
+- **Internet Explorer**: While you’re on a suspicious site, select the gear icon, point to **Safety**, and then select **Report Unsafe Website**. Follow the instructions on the webpage that displays to report the website.

* **Bondat** typically arrives through fictitious Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS), Java installers, and removable drives. When Bondat infects a system, it gathers information about the machine such as device name, Globally Unique Identifier (GUID), and OS build. It then sends that information to a remote server.

-# What to do with false positives/negatives in Microsoft Defender Antivirus
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 Defender rebranding](../../includes/microsoft-defender.md)]
-
-
-**Applies to:**
-
-- [Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (Microsoft Defender ATP)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2069559)
-
-Microsoft Defender Antivirus is designed to keep your PC safe with built-in, trusted antivirus protection. With Microsoft Defender Antivirus, you get comprehensive, ongoing, and real-time protection against software threats like viruses, malware, and spyware across email, apps, the cloud, and the web.
-
-What if something gets detected wrongly as malware, or something is missed? We call these false positives and false negatives. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to deal with these issues. You can:
-- [Submit a file to Microsoft for analysis](#submit-a-file-to-microsoft-for-analysis)
-- [Create an "Allow" indicator to prevent a false positive from recurring](#create-an-allow-indicator-to-prevent-a-false-positive-from-recurring)
-- [Define an exclusion on an individual Windows device to prevent an item from being scanned](#define-an-exclusion-on-an-individual-windows-device-to-prevent-an-item-from-being-scanned)
-
-## Submit a file to Microsoft for analysis
-
-1. Review the [submission guidelines](../intelligence/submission-guide.md).
-2. [Submit your file or sample](https://www.microsoft.com/wdsi/filesubmission).
-
-> [!TIP]
-> We recommend signing in at the submission portal so you can track the results of your submissions.
-
-## Create an "Allow" indicator to prevent a false positive from recurring
-
-If a file, IP address, URL, or domain is treated as malware on a device, even though it's safe, you can create an "Allow" indicator. This indicator tells Microsoft Defender Antivirus (and Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection) that the item is safe.
-
-To set up your "Allow" indicator, follow the guidance in [Manage indicators](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/manage-indicators).
-
-## Define an exclusion on an individual Windows device to prevent an item from being scanned
-
-When you define an exclusion for Microsoft Defender Antivirus, you configure your antivirus to skip that item.
-
-1. On your Windows 10 device, open the Windows Security app.
-2. Select **Virus & threat protection** > **Virus & threat protection settings**.
-3. Under **Exclusions**, select **Add or remove exclusions**.
-4. Select **+ Add an exclusion**, and specify its type (**File**, **Folder**, **File type**, or **Process**).
-
-The following table summarizes exclusion types, how they're defined, and what happens when they're in effect.
-
-|Exclusion type |Defined by |What happens |
-|---------|---------|---------|
-|**File** |Location Example: `c:\sample\sample.test` |The specified file is skipped by Microsoft Defender Antivirus. |
-|**Folder** |Location Example: `c:\test\sample` |All items in the specified folder are skipped by Microsoft Defender Antivirus. |
-|**File type** |File extension Example: `.test` |All files with the specified extension anywhere on your device are skipped by Microsoft Defender Antivirus. |
-|**Process** |Executable file path Example: `c:\test\process.exe` |The specified process and any files that are opened by that process are skipped by Microsoft Defender Antivirus. |
-
-To learn more, see:
-- [Configure and validate exclusions based on file extension and folder location](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/configure-extension-file-exclusions-microsoft-defender-antivirus)

## Using just the file name in the exclusion list
-A malware may have the same name as that of the file that you trust and want to exclude from scanning. Therefore, to avoid excluding a potential malware from scanning, use a fully qualified path to the file that you want to exclude instead of using just the file name. For example, if you want to exclude **Filename.exe** from scanning, use the complete path to the file, such as **C:\program files\contoso\Filename.exe**.

For example, if you want to exclude `Filename.exe` from scanning, use the complete path to the file, such as `C:\program files\contoso\Filename.exe`.
## Using a single exclusion list for multiple server workloads
+
Do not use a single exclusion list to define exclusions for multiple server workloads. Split the exclusions for different application or service workloads into multiple exclusion lists. For example, the exclusion list for your IIS Server workload must be different from the exclusion list for your SQL Server workload.
## Using incorrect environment variables as wildcards in the file name and folder path or extension exclusion lists
+
Microsoft Defender Antivirus Service runs in system context using the LocalSystem account, which means it gets information from the system environment variable, and not from the user environment variable. Use of environment variables as a wildcard in exclusion lists is limited to system variables and those applicable to processes running as an NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account. Therefore, do not use user environment variables as wildcards when adding Microsoft Defender Antivirus folder and process exclusions. See the table under [System environment variables](configure-extension-file-exclusions-microsoft-defender-antivirus.md#system-environment-variables) for a complete list of system environment variables.
+
See [Use wildcards in the file name and folder path or extension exclusion lists](configure-extension-file-exclusions-microsoft-defender-antivirus.md#use-wildcards-in-the-file-name-and-folder-path-or-extension-exclusion-lists) for information on how to use wildcards in exclusion lists.

## How it works
When Microsoft Defender Antivirus encounters a suspicious but undetected file, it queries our cloud protection backend. The cloud backend applies heuristics, machine learning, and automated analysis of the file to determine whether the files are malicious or not a threat.
-Microsoft Defender Antivirus uses multiple detection and prevention technologies to deliver accurate, intelligent, and real-time protection. To learn more, see this blog: [Get to know the advanced technologies at the core of Microsoft Defender ATP next-generation protection](https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2019/06/24/inside-out-get-to-know-the-advanced-technologies-at-the-core-of-microsoft-defender-atp-next-generation-protection/).

In Windows 10, version 1803 or later, block at first sight can block non-portable executable files (such as JS, VBS, or macros) as well as executable files.
-Block at first sight only uses the cloud protection backend for executable files and non-portable executable files that are downloaded from the Internet, or that originate from the Internet zone. A hash value of the .exe file is checked via the cloud backend to determine if this is a previously undetected file.
+Block at first sight only uses the cloud protection backend for executable files and non-portable executable files that are downloaded from the Internet, or that originate from the Internet zone. A hash value of the .exe file is checked via the cloud backend to determine if the file is a previously undetected file.
If the cloud backend is unable to make a determination, Microsoft Defender Antivirus locks the file and uploads a copy to the cloud. The cloud performs additional analysis to reach a determination before it either allows the file to run or blocks it in all future encounters, depending on whether it determines the file to be malicious or safe.
In many cases, this process can reduce the response time for new malware from hours to seconds.

The following is a list of recommendations that you should keep in mind when defining exclusions:
- Exclusions are technically a protection gap—always consider additional mitigations when defining exclusions. Additional mitigations could be as simple as making sure the excluded location has the appropriate access-control lists (ACLs), audit policy, is processed by an up-to-date software, etc.
+
- Review the exclusions periodically. Re-check and re-enforce the mitigations as part of the review process.
+
- Ideally, avoid defining proactive exclusions. For instance, don't exclude something just because you think it might be a problem in the future. Use exclusions only for specific issues—mostly around performance, or sometimes around application compatibility that exclusions could mitigate.
+
- Audit the exclusion list changes. The security admin should preserve enough context around why a certain exclusion was added. You should be able to provide answer with specific reasoning as to why a certain path was excluded.

- File extensions apply to any file name with the defined extension if a path or folder is not defined.

## A few points to keep in mind
+Keep the following important points in mind:
+
- Custom exclusions take precedence over automatic exclusions.
-
- Automatic exclusions only apply to Real-time protection (RTP) scanning. Automatic exclusions are not honored during a Full/Quick or On-demand scan.
-
- Custom and duplicate exclusions do not conflict with automatic exclusions.
-
- Microsoft Defender Antivirus uses the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tools to determine which roles are installed on your computer.
## Opt out of automatic exclusions
-In Windows Server 2016 and 2019, the predefined exclusions delivered by Security intelligence updates only exclude the default paths for a role or feature. If you installed a role or feature in a custom path, or you want to manually control the set of exclusions, make sure to opt out of the automatic exclusions delivered in Security intelligence updates. But keep in mind that the exclusions that are delivered automatically are optimized for Windows Server 2016 and 2019 roles. See [Recommendations for defining exclusions](configure-exclusions-microsoft-defender-antivirus.md#recommendations-for-defining-exclusions) before defining your exclusion lists.

> Potentially unwanted applications (PUA) are a category of software that can cause your machine to run slowly, display unexpected ads, or at worst, install other software which might be unexpected or unwanted. By default in Windows 10 (version 2004 and later), Microsoft Defender Antivirus blocks apps that are considered PUA, for Enterprise (E5) devices.
-Potentially unwanted applications (PUA) are not considered viruses, malware, or other types of threats, but they might perform actions on endpoints which adversely affect endpoint performance or use. _PUA_ can also refer to an application that has a poor reputation, as assessed by Microsoft Defender ATP, due to certain kinds of undesirable behavior.

-* **Bundling software**: Software that offers to install other software that is not digitally signed by the same entity. Also, software that offers to install other software that qualify as PUA.
-* **Evasion software**: Software that actively tries to evade detection by security products, including software that behaves differently in the presence of security products.

## Keep the following points in mind
-If you are enrolled in Microsoft Defender ATP and you are using a third party antimalware product then passive mode is enabled because [the service requires common information sharing from the Microsoft Defender Antivirus service](../microsoft-defender-atp/defender-compatibility.md) in order to properly monitor your devices and network for intrusion attempts and attacks.
+- In active mode, Microsoft Defender Antivirus is used as the antivirus app on the machine. All configuration made with Configuration Manager, Group Policy, Intune, or other management products will apply. Files are scanned and threats remediated, and detection information are reported in your configuration tool (such as Configuration Manager or the Microsoft Defender Antivirus app on the machine itself).
-When Microsoft Defender Antivirus is automatic disabled, it can automatically re-enable if the protection offered by a third-party antivirus product expires or otherwise stops providing real-time protection from viruses, malware or other threats. This is to ensure antivirus protection is maintained on the endpoint. It also allows you to enable [limited periodic scanning](limited-periodic-scanning-microsoft-defender-antivirus.md), which uses the Microsoft Defender Antivirus engine to periodically check for threats in addition to your main antivirus app.
+- In passive mode, Microsoft Defender Antivirus is not used as the antivirus app, and threats are not remediated by Microsoft Defender Antivirus. Files are scanned and reports are provided for threat detections that are shared with the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint service. Therefore, you might encounter alerts in the Security Center console with Microsoft Defender Antivirus as a source, even when Microsoft Defender Antivirus is in Passive mode.
-In passive mode, you can still [manage updates for Microsoft Defender Antivirus](manage-updates-baselines-microsoft-defender-antivirus.md); however, you can't move Microsoft Defender Antivirus into the normal active mode if your endpoints have an up-to-date third-party product providing real-time protection from malware.
+- When [EDR in block mode](../microsoft-defender-atp/edr-in-block-mode.md) is turned on and Microsoft Defender Antivirus is not the primary antivirus solution, it can still detect and remediate malicious items.
-If you uninstall the other product, and choose to use Microsoft Defender Antivirus to provide protection to your endpoints, Microsoft Defender Antivirus will automatically return to its normal active mode.
+- When disabled, Microsoft Defender Antivirus is not used as the antivirus app. Files are not scanned and threats are not remediated. Disabling/uninstalling Microsoft Defender Antivirus is not recommended in general; if possible, keep Microsoft Defender Antivirus in passive mode if you are using a non-Microsoft antimalware/antivirus solution.
+
+- If you are enrolled in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and you are using a third-party antimalware product, then passive mode is enabled. [The service requires common information sharing from Microsoft Defender Antivirus service](../microsoft-defender-atp/defender-compatibility.md) in order to properly monitor your devices and network for intrusion attempts and attacks.
+
+- When Microsoft Defender Antivirus is disabled automatically, it can be re-enabled automatically if the protection offered by a non-Microsoft antivirus product expires or otherwise stops providing real-time protection from viruses, malware, or other threats. Automatic re-enabling helps to ensure that antivirus protection is maintained on your devices. It also allows you to enable [limited periodic scanning](limited-periodic-scanning-microsoft-defender-antivirus.md), which uses the Microsoft Defender Antivirus engine to periodically check for threats in addition to your main antivirus app.
+
+- When Microsoft Defender Antivirus is in passive mode, you can still [manage updates for Microsoft Defender Antivirus](manage-updates-baselines-microsoft-defender-antivirus.md); however, you can't move Microsoft Defender Antivirus into active mode if your devices have an up-to-date, non-Microsoft antivirus product providing real-time protection from malware. For optimal security layered defense and detection efficacy, please ensure that you update the [Microsoft Defender Antivirus protection (Security intelligence update, Engine and Platform)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/manage-updates-baselines-microsoft-defender-antivirus) even if Microsoft Defender Antivirus is running in passive mode.
+
+ If you uninstall the non-Microsoft antivirus product, and use Microsoft Defender Antivirus to provide protection to your devices, Microsoft Defender Antivirus will return to its normal active mode automatically.

Disabling, stopping, or modifying those services can also cause problems when using non-Microsoft antivirus solutions and how their information is displayed in the [Windows Security app](microsoft-defender-security-center-antivirus.md).
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> If you are using [Microsoft endpoint data loss prevention (Endpoint DLP)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/information-protection-in-windows-overview), Microsoft Defender Antivirus real-time protection is enabled even when Microsoft Defender Antivirus is running in passive mode. Endpoint DLP depends on real-time protection to operate.

+## Manage tamper protection for your organization using the Microsoft Defender Security Center
+
+Tamper protection can be turned on or off for your tenant using the Microsoft Defender Security Center ([https://securitycenter.windows.com](https://securitycenter.windows.com)). Here are a few points to keep in mind:
+
+- When you use the Microsoft Defender Security Center to manage tamper protection, you do not have to use Intune or the tenant attach method.
+
+- When you manage tamper protection in the Microsoft Defender Security Center, the setting is applied tenant wide, affecting all of your devices that are running Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, or Windows Server 2019. To fine-tune tamper protection (such as having tamper protection on for some devices but off for others), use either [Intune](#manage-tamper-protection-for-your-organization-using-intune) or [Configuration Manager with tenant attach](#manage-tamper-protection-for-your-organization-with-configuration-manager-version-2006).
+
+- If you have a hybrid environment, tamper protection settings configured in Intune take precedence over settings configured in the Microsoft Defender Security Center.
+
+### Requirements for managing tamper protection in the Microsoft Defender Security Center
+
+- You must have appropriate [permissions](../microsoft-defender-atp/assign-portal-access.md), such as global admin, security admin, or security operations.
+
+- Your Windows devices must be running one of the following versions of Windows:
+ - Windows 10
+ - [Windows Server 2019](/windows-server/get-started-19/whats-new-19)
+ - Windows Server, version [1803](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/release-health/status-windows-10-1803) or later
+ - [Windows Server 2016](/windows-server/get-started/whats-new-in-windows-server-2016)
+ - For more information about releases, see [Windows 10 release information](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/release-health/release-information).
+
+- Your devices must be [onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](../microsoft-defender-atp/onboarding.md).
+
+- Your devices must be using anti-malware platform version 4.18.2010.7 (or above) and anti-malware engine version 1.1.17600.5 (or above). ([Manage Microsoft Defender Antivirus updates and apply baselines](manage-updates-baselines-microsoft-defender-antivirus.md).)
+
+- [Cloud-delivered protection must be turned on](enable-cloud-protection-microsoft-defender-antivirus.md).
+
+### Turn tamper protection on (or off) in the Microsoft Defender Security Center
+
+
+
+1. Go to the Microsoft Defender Security Center ([https://securitycenter.windows.com](https://securitycenter.windows.com)) and sign in.
+
+2. Choose **Settings**.
+
+3. Go to **General** > **Advanced features**, and then turn tamper protection on.

### How does configuring tamper protection in Intune affect how I manage Microsoft Defender Antivirus through my group policy?
Your regular group policy doesn’t apply to tamper protection, and changes to Microsoft Defender Antivirus settings are ignored when tamper protection is on.
-> [!NOTE]
-> A small delay in Group Policy (GPO) processing may occur if Group Policy settings include values that control Microsoft Defender Antivirus features protected by tamper protection.
-
-To avoid any potential delays, we recommend that you remove settings that control Microsoft Defender Antivirus related behavior from GPO and simply allow tamper protection to protect Microsoft Defender Antivirus settings.
-
-Some sample Microsoft Defender Antivirus settings:
-
-- *Turn off real-time protection*
- Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Defender Antivirus\Real-time Protection\\
- Value `DisableRealtimeMonitoring` = 0

Microsoft Defender Application Guard (Application Guard) works with Group Policy to help you manage your organization's computer settings. By using Group Policy, you can configure a setting once, and then copy it onto many computers. For example, you can set up multiple security settings in a GPO, which is linked to a domain, and then apply all those settings to every computer in the domain.

+Currently, the Application Guard Edge session doesn't support Extensions. However, we're closely monitoring your feedback about this.
### How do I configure Microsoft Defender Application Guard to work with my network proxy (IP-Literal Addresses)?
Microsoft Defender Application Guard requires proxies to have a symbolic name, not just an IP address. IP-Literal proxy settings such as `192.168.1.4:81` can be annotated as `itproxy:81` or using a record such as `P19216810010` for a proxy with an IP address of `192.168.100.10`. This applies to Windows 10 Enterprise edition 1709 or higher. These would be for the proxy policies under Network Isolation in Group Policy or Intune.
-If Application Guard is used with network proxies, they need to be specified by fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in the system proxy settings (likewise in a PAC script if that is the type of proxy configuration used). Additionally these proxies need to be marked as *neutral* in the **Application trust** list. The FQDNs for the PAC file and the proxy servers the PAC file redirects to must be added as neutral resources in the network isolation policies that are used by Application Guard. You can verify this by going to `edge://application-guard-internals/#utilities` and entering the FQDN for the pac/proxy in the **check url trust** field. Verify that it says *Neutral.*
-
-Optionally, if possible, the IP addresses associated with the server hosting the above should be removed from the enterprise IP ranges in the network isolation policies that are used by Application Guard. Additionally, go to `edge://application-guard-internals/#utilities` to view the Application Guard proxy configuration. This step can be done in both the host and within Application Guard to verify that each side is using the proxy setup you expect.

### How do I trust a subdomain in my site list?
-To trust a subdomain, you must precede your domain with two dots, for example: `..contoso.com` will ensure `mail.contoso.com` or `news.contoso.com` are trusted. The first dot represents the strings for the subdomain name (mail or news), the second dot recognizes the start of the domain name (`contoso.com`). This prevents sites such as `fakesitecontoso.com` from being trusted.

### Why does my encryption driver break Microsoft Defender Application Guard?
-Microsoft Defender Application Guard accesses files from a VHD mounted on the host that needs to be written during setup. If an encryption driver prevents a VHD from being mounted or from being written to, Microsoft Defender Application Guard will not work and result in an error message (`0x80070013 ERROR_WRITE_PROTECT`).

+
+### Why do the Network Isolation policies in Group Policy and CSP look different?
+
+There is not a one-to-one mapping among all the Network Isolation policies between CSP and GP. Mandatory network isolation policies to deploy Application Guard are different between CSP and GP.
+
+Mandatory network isolation GP policy to deploy Application Guard: "DomainSubnets or CloudResources"
+Mandatory network isolation CSP policy to deploy Application Guard: "EnterpriseCloudResources or (EnterpriseIpRange and EnterpriseNetworkDomainNames)"
+For EnterpriseNetworkDomainNames, there is no mapped CSP policy.

If an encryption driver prevents a VHD from being mounted or from being written to, Application Guard does not work and results in an error message (`0x80070013 ERROR_WRITE_PROTECT`).
### Why did Application Guard stop working after I turned off hyperthreading?
If hyperthreading is disabled (because of an update applied through a KB article or through BIOS settings), there is a possibility Application Guard no longer meets the minimum requirements.
+
+### Why am I getting the error message "ERROR_VIRTUAL_DISK_LIMITATION"?
+
+Application Guard might not work correctly on NTFS compressed volumes. If this issue persists, try uncompressing the volume.
+
+### Why am I getting the error message "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" after not being able to reach PAC file?
+
+This is a known issue. To mitigate this you need to create two firewall rules.
+For guidance on how to create a firewall rule by using group policy, see:
+- [Create an inbound icmp rule](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-firewall/create-an-inbound-icmp-rule)
+- [Open Group Policy management console for Microsoft Defender Firewall](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-firewall/open-the-group-policy-management-console-to-windows-firewall-with-advanced-security)
+
+First rule (DHCP Server):
+1. Program path: `%SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe`
+2. Local Service: `Sid: S-1-5-80-2009329905-444645132-2728249442-922493431-93864177 (Internet Connection Service (SharedAccess))`
+3. Protocol UDP
+4. Port 67
+
+Second rule (DHCP Client)
+This is the same as the first rule, but scoped to local port 68.
+In the Microsoft Defender Firewall user interface go through the following steps:
+1. Right click on inbound rules, create a new rule.
+2. Choose **custom rule**.
+3. Program path: `%SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe`.
+4. Protocol Type: UDP, Specific ports: 67, Remote port: any.
+5. Any IP addresses.
+6. Allow the connection.
+7. All profiles.
+8. The new rule should show up in the user interface. Right click on the **rule** > **properties**.
+9. In the **Programs and services** tab, Under the **Services** section click on **settings**. Choose **Apply to this Service** and select **Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Shared Access**.
+
+### Why can I not launch Application Guard when Exploit Guard is enabled?
+
+There is a known issue such that if you change the Exploit Protection settings for CFG and possibly others, hvsimgr cannot launch. To mitigate this issue, go to **Windows Security** > **App and Browser control** > **Exploit Protection Setting**, and then switch CFG to **use default**.
+
+
+### How can I have ICS in enabled state yet still use Application Guard?
+
+ICS is enabled by default in Windows, and ICS must be enabled in order for Application Guard to function correctly. We do not recommend disabling ICS; however, you can disable ICS in part by using a Group Policy and editing registry keys.
+
+1. In the Group Policy setting, **Prohibit use of Internet Connection Sharing on your DNS domain network**, set it to **Disabled**.
+
+2. Disable IpNat.sys from ICS load as follows:
+`System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\DisableIpNat = 1`
+
+3. Configure ICS (SharedAccess) to enabled as follows:
+`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Start = 3`
+
+4. (This is optional) Disable IPNAT as follows:
+`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IPNat\Start = 4`
+
+5. Reboot the device.
+
+### Why doesn't the container fully load when device control policies are enabled?
+Allow-listed items must be configured as "allowed" in the Group Policy Object ensure AppGuard works properly.
+
+Policy: Allow installation of devices that match any of these device IDs
+- `SCSI\DiskMsft____Virtual_Disk____`
+- `{8e7bd593-6e6c-4c52-86a6-77175494dd8e}\msvhdhba`

# Microsoft Defender Application Guard overview

+**Applies to:** [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2069559)
Microsoft Defender Application Guard (Application Guard) is designed to help prevent old and newly emerging attacks to help keep employees productive. Using our unique hardware isolation approach, our goal is to destroy the playbook that attackers use by making current attack methods obsolete.
## What is Application Guard and how does it work?
-Designed for Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge, Application Guard helps to isolate enterprise-defined untrusted sites, protecting your company while your employees browse the Internet. 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.
+For Microsoft Edge, Application Guard helps to isolate enterprise-defined untrusted sites, protecting your company while your employees browse the Internet. 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.

-The Microsoft Defender ATP alert severity represents the severity of the detected behavior, the actual risk to the device but more importantly the potential risk to the organization.
+The Defender for Endpoint alert severity represents the severity of the detected behavior, the actual risk to the device but more importantly the potential risk to the organization.
So, for example:
-- The severity of a Microsoft Defender ATP alert about a Microsoft Defender AV detected threat that was completely prevented and did not infect the device is categorized as "Informational" because there was no actual damage.
+- The severity of a Defender for Endpoint alert about a Microsoft Defender AV detected threat that was completely prevented and did not infect the device is categorized as "Informational" because there was no actual damage.
- An alert about a commercial malware was detected while executing, but blocked and remediated by Microsoft Defender AV, is categorized as "Low" because it may have caused some damage to the individual device but poses no organizational threat.
- An alert about malware detected while executing which can pose a threat not only to the individual device but to the organization, regardless if it was eventually blocked, may be ranked as "Medium" or "High".
- Suspicious behavioral alerts, which weren't blocked or remediated will be ranked "Low", "Medium" or "High" following the same organizational threat considerations.

Automating security procedures is a standard requirement for every modern Security Operations Center. The lack of professional cyber defenders forces SOC to work in the most efficient way and automation is a must. Microsoft Power Automate supports different connectors that were built exactly for that. You can build an end-to-end procedure automation within a few minutes.
Microsoft Defender API has an official Flow Connector with many capabilities.

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

-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.
+Such software behaviors are sometimes seen in legitimate applications; however, these behaviors are often considered risky because they are commonly abused by attackers through malware. Attack surface reduction rules can constrain risky behaviors and help keep your organization safe.
For more information about configuring attack surface reduction rules, see [Enable attack surface reduction rules](enable-attack-surface-reduction.md).
+## Assess rule impact before deployment
+
+You can assess how an attack surface reduction rule might affect your network by opening the security recommendation for that rule in [threat and vulnerability management](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/#tvm).
+
+:::image type="content" source="images/asrrecommendation.png" alt-text="Security reco for attack surface reduction rule":::
+
+In the recommendation details pane, check for user impact to determine what percentage of your devices can accept a new policy enabling the rule in blocking mode without adversely affecting productivity.
+
+## Audit mode for evaluation
+
+Use [audit mode](audit-windows-defender.md) to evaluate how attack surface reduction rules would affect your organization if they were enabled. Run all rules in audit mode first so you can understand how they affect your line-of-business applications. Many line-of-business applications are written with limited security concerns, and they might 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 reducing productivity.
+
+## Warn mode for users
+
+(**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
+
+Microsoft Defender Antivirus must be running with real-time protection in [Active mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/microsoft-defender-antivirus-compatibility#functionality-and-features-available-in-each-state).
+
+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)).

+
+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 10 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 10 devices), and its timestamp will be 2:15 PM.
+
+For more information about advanced hunting, see [Proactively hunt for threats with advanced hunting](advanced-hunting-overview.md).

+### 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 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.

+
+## Using the Action center
+
+To get to the unified Action center in the improved Microsoft 365 security center:
+1. Go to the Microsoft 365 security center ([https://security.microsoft.com](https://security.microsoft.com)) and sign in.
+2. In the navigation pane, select **Action center**.
+
+When you visit the Action center, you see two tabs: **Pending actions** and **History**. The following table summarizes what you'll see on each tab:
+
+|Tab |Description |
|---------|---------|
-| Running | The investigation process has started and is underway. Malicious artifacts that are found are remediated. |
-| Partially investigated | Entities directly related to the alert have been investigated. However, a problem stopped the investigation of collateral entities. Check the investigation log ([https://securitycenter.windows.com/investigations](https://securitycenter.windows.com/investigations)) for specific details. |
-| No threats found | The investigation has finished and no threats were identified. If you suspect something was missed (such as a false negative), you can use [advanced hunting](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/advanced-hunting-overview). |
-| Pending action | The investigation has found a threat, and an action to remediate that threat is awaiting approval. The Pending Action state is triggered when any threat with a corresponding action is found. However, the list of pending actions can increase as an investigation runs. Check the investigation log ([https://securitycenter.windows.com/investigations](https://securitycenter.windows.com/investigations)) to see if other items are still pending completion. |
-| Remediated | The investigation finished and all actions were approved (fully remediated). |
-| Partially remediated | The investigation resulted in remediation actions, and some were approved and completed. Other actions are still pending. |
-| Terminated by system | The investigation stopped. An investigation can stop for several reasons: - The investigation's pending actions expired. Pending actions can time out after awaiting approval for an extended period of time. - There are too many actions in the list. Visit the Action center ([https://securitycenter.windows.com/action-center](https://securitycenter.windows.com/action-center)) to view and approve any pending actions. |
-| Failed | At least one investigation analyzer ran into a problem where it could not complete properly.
If an investigation fails after remediation actions were approved, the remediation actions might still have succeeded. Check the investigation log ([https://securitycenter.windows.com/investigations](https://securitycenter.windows.com/investigations)) for detailed results. |
-| Queued | An investigation is being held in a queue. When other investigations complete, queued investigations begin. |
-| Waiting for device | Investigation paused. The investigation will resume as soon as the device is available. |
-| Terminated by user | A user stopped the investigation before it could complete. |
+|**Pending** | Displays a list of actions that require attention. You can approve or reject actions one at a time, or select multiple actions if they have the same type of action (such as **Quarantine file**). **TIP**: Make sure to [review and approve (or reject) pending actions](manage-auto-investigation.md) as soon as possible so that your automated investigations can complete in a timely manner. |
+|**History** | Serves as an audit log for actions that were taken, such as: - Remediation actions that were taken as a result of automated investigations - Remediation actions that were approved by your security operations team - Commands that were run and remediation actions that were applied during Live Response sessions - Remediation actions that were taken by threat protection features in Microsoft Defender Antivirus
Provides a way to undo certain actions (see [Undo completed actions](manage-auto-investigation.md#undo-completed-actions)). |
+You can customize, sort, filter, and export data in the Action center.

## How the automated investigation starts
-When an alert is triggered, a security playbook goes into effect. Depending on the security playbook, an automated investigation can start. For example, suppose a malicious file resides on a device. When that file is detected, an alert is triggered, and the automated investigation process begins. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint checks to see if the malicious file is present on any other devices in the organization. Details from the investigation, including verdicts (*Malicious*, *Suspicious*, and *No threats found*) are available during and after the automated investigation.
+An automated investigation can start when an alert is triggered or when a security operator initiates the investigation.
->[!NOTE]
->Currently, automated investigation only supports the following OS versions:
->- Windows Server 2019
->- Windows 10, version 1709 (OS Build 16299.1085 with [KB4493441](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4493441/windows-10-update-kb4493441)) or later

-## Details of an automated investigation
-
-During and after an automated investigation, you can view details about the investigation. Select a triggering alert to view the investigation details. From there, you can go to the **Investigation graph**, **Alerts**, **Devices**, **Evidence**, **Entities**, and **Log** tabs.
-
-|Tab |Description |
-|--|--|
-|**Alerts**| The alert(s) that started the investigation.|
-|**Devices** |The device(s) where the threat was seen.|
-|**Evidence** |The entities that were found to be malicious during an investigation.|
-|**Entities** |Details about each analyzed entity, including a determination for each entity type (*Malicious*, *Suspicious*, or *No threats found*). |
-|**Log** |The chronological, detailed view of all the investigation actions taken on the alert.|
-|**Pending actions** |If there are any actions awaiting approval as a result of the investigation, the **Pending actions** tab is displayed. On the **Pending actions** tab, you can approve or reject each action. |
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Go to the **[Action center](auto-investigation-action-center.md)** to get an aggregated view all pending actions and manage remediation actions. The **Action center** also acts as an audit trail for all automated investigation actions.
+|Situation |What happens |
+|---------|---------|
+|An alert is triggered | In general, an automated investigation starts when an [alert](review-alerts.md) is triggered, and an [incident](view-incidents-queue.md) is created. For example, suppose a malicious file resides on a device. When that file is detected, an alert is triggered, and incident is created. An automated investigation process begins on the device. As other alerts are generated because of the same file on other devices, they are added to the associated incident and to the automated investigation. |
+|An investigation is started manually | An automated investigation can be started manually by your security operations team. For example, suppose a security operator is reviewing a list of devices and notices that a device has a high risk level. The security operator can select the device in the list to open its flyout, and then select **Initiate Automated Investigation**. |

## How threats are remediated
-Depending on how you set up the device groups and their level of automation, each automated investigation either requires user approval (default) or automatically takes action to remediate threats.
+As alerts are triggered, and an automated investigation runs, a verdict is generated for each piece of evidence investigated. Verdicts can be
+- *Malicious*;
+- *Suspicious*; or
+- *No threats found*.
-> [!NOTE]
-> Microsoft Defender for Endpoint tenants created on or after August 16, 2020 have **Full - remediate threats automatically** selected by default. You can keep the default setting, or change it according to your organizational needs. To change your settings, [adjust your device group settings](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/configure-automated-investigations-remediation#set-up-device-groups).
+As verdicts are reached, automated investigations can result in one or more remediation actions. Examples of remediation actions include sending a file to quarantine, stopping a service, removing a scheduled task, and more. To learn more, see [Remediation actions](manage-auto-investigation.md#remediation-actions).
-You can configure the following levels of automation:
+Depending on the [level of automation](automation-levels.md) set for your organization, as well as other security settings, remediation actions can occur automatically or only upon approval by your security operations team. Additional security settings that can affect automatic remediation include [protection from potentially unwanted applications](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/detect-block-potentially-unwanted-apps-microsoft-defender-antivirus) (PUA).
-|Automation level | Description|
-|---|---|
-|**Full - remediate threats automatically** | All remediation actions are performed automatically. Remediation actions that were taken can be viewed in the [Action Center](auto-investigation-action-center.md), on the **History** tab.
***This option is recommended** and is selected by default for tenants that were created on or after August 16, 2020 with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, with no device groups defined yet.*
*If you do have a device group defined, you will also have a device group called **Ungrouped devices (default)**, which will be set to **Full - remediate threats automatically**.* |
-|**Semi - require approval for core folders remediation** | Approval is required for remediation actions on files or executables that are in core folders. Pending actions can be viewed and approved in the [Action Center](auto-investigation-action-center.md).
Remediation actions can be taken automatically on files or executables that are in other (non-core) folders. Core folders include operating system directories, such as the **Windows** (`\windows\*`). |
-|**Semi - require approval for non-temp folders remediation** | Approval is required for remediation actions on files or executables that are not in temporary folders. Pending actions can be viewed and approved in the [Action Center](auto-investigation-action-center.md).
Remediation actions can be taken automatically on files or executables that are in temporary folders. Temporary folders can include the following examples: - `\users\*\appdata\local\temp\*` - `\documents and settings\*\local settings\temp\*` - `\documents and settings\*\local settings\temporary\*` - `\windows\temp\*` - `\users\*\downloads\*` - `\program files\` - `\program files (x86)\*` - `\documents and settings\*\users\*` |
-|**Semi - require approval for any remediation** | Approval is required for any remediation action. Pending actions can be viewed and approved in the [Action Center](auto-investigation-action-center.md).

+# Automation levels in automated investigation and remediation capabilities
+
+**Applies to:**
+- [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2154037)
+
+Automated investigation and remediation (AIR) capabilities in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can be configured to one of several levels of automation. Your automation level affects whether remediation actions following AIR investigations are taken automatically or only upon approval.
+- *Full automation* (recommended) means remediation actions are taken automatically on artifacts determined to be malicious.
+- *Semi-automation* means some remediation actions are taken automatically, but other remediation actions await approval before being taken. (See the table in [Levels of automation](#levels-of-automation).)
+- All remediation actions, whether pending or completed, are tracked in the Action Center ([https://securitycenter.windows.com](https://securitycenter.windows.com)).
+
+> [!TIP]
+> For best results, we recommend using full automation when you [configure AIR](configure-automated-investigations-remediation.md). Data collected and analyzed over the past year shows that customers who are using full automation had 40% more high-confidence malware samples removed than customers who are using lower levels of automation. Full automation can help free up your security operations resources to focus more on your strategic initiatives.
+
+## Levels of automation
+
+The following table describes each level of automation and how it works.
+
+|Automation level | Description|
+|:---|:---|
+|**Full - remediate threats automatically** (also referred to as *full automation*)| With full automation, remediation actions are performed automatically. All remediation actions that are taken can be viewed in the [Action Center](auto-investigation-action-center.md) on the **History** tab. If necessary, a remediation action can be undone.
***Full automation is recommended** and is selected by default for tenants that were created on or after August 16, 2020 with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, with no device groups defined yet.* |
+|**Semi - require approval for any remediation** (also referred to as *semi-automation*)| With this level of semi-automation, approval is required for *any* remediation action. Such pending actions can be viewed and approved in the [Action Center](auto-investigation-action-center.md), on the **Pending** tab.
*This level of semi-automation is selected by default for tenants that were created before August 16, 2020 with Microsoft Defender ATP, with no device groups defined.*|
+|**Semi - require approval for core folders remediation** (also a type of *semi-automation*) | With this level of semi-automation, approval is required for any remediation actions needed on files or executables that are in core folders. Core folders include operating system directories, such as the **Windows** (`\windows\*`).
Remediation actions can be taken automatically on files or executables that are in other (non-core) folders.
Pending actions for files or executables in core folders can be viewed and approved in the [Action Center](auto-investigation-action-center.md), on the **Pending** tab.
Actions that were taken on files or executables in other folders can be viewed in the [Action Center](auto-investigation-action-center.md), on the **History** tab. |
+|**Semi - require approval for non-temp folders remediation** (also a type of *semi-automation*)| With this level of semi-automation, approval is required for any remediation actions needed on files or executables that are *not* in temporary folders.
Temporary folders can include the following examples: - `\users\*\appdata\local\temp\*` - `\documents and settings\*\local settings\temp\*` - `\documents and settings\*\local settings\temporary\*` - `\windows\temp\*` - `\users\*\downloads\*` - `\program files\` - `\program files (x86)\*` - `\documents and settings\*\users\*`
Remediation actions can be taken automatically on files or executables that are in temporary folders.
Pending actions for files or executables that are not in temporary folders can be viewed and approved in the [Action Center](auto-investigation-action-center.md), on the **Pending** tab.
Actions that were taken on files or executables in temporary folders can be viewed and approved in the [Action Center](auto-investigation-action-center.md), on the **History** tab. |
+|**No automated response** (also referred to as *no automation*) | With no automation, automated investigation does not run on your organization's devices. As a result, no remediation actions are taken or pending as a result of automated investigation. However, other threat protection features, such as [protection from potentially unwanted applications](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/detect-block-potentially-unwanted-apps-microsoft-defender-antivirus), can be in effect, depending on how your antivirus and next-generation protection features are configured.
***Using the *no automation* option is not recommended**, because it reduces the security posture of your organization's devices. [Consider setting up your automation level to full automation (or at least semi-automation)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/machine-groups)*. |
+
+## Important points about automation levels
+
+- Full automation has proven to be reliable, efficient, and safe, and is recommended for all customers. Full automation frees up your critical security resources so they can focus more on your strategic initiatives.
+
+- New tenants (which include tenants that were created on or after August 16, 2020) with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint are set to full automation by default.
+
+- If your security team has defined device groups with a level of automation, those settings are not changed by the new default settings that are rolling out.
+
+- You can keep your default automation settings, or change them according to your organizational needs. To change your settings, [set your level of automation](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/configure-automated-investigations-remediation#set-up-device-groups).

-Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (Microsoft Defender ATP) for US Government Community Cloud High (GCC High) customers, built in the US Azure Government environment, uses the same underlying technologies as Microsoft Defender ATP in Azure Commercial.
-
-This offering is currently available to US Office 365 GCC High customers and is based on the same prevention, detection, investigation, and remediation as the commercial version. However, there are some key differences in the availability of capabilities for this offering.
-

-## Endpoint versions
-The following OS versions are supported:
-
-- Windows 10, version 1903
-- Windows 10, version 1809 (OS Build 17763.404 with [KB4490481](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4490481))

-- Windows Server, 2019 (with [KB4490481](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4490481))
-
->[!NOTE]
->A patch must be deployed before device onboarding in order to configure Microsoft Defender ATP to the correct environment.
-
-The following OS versions are supported via Azure Security Center:
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
-- Windows Server 2012 R2
-- Windows Server 2016
-
-The following OS versions are not supported:
-- Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (standalone, not via ASC)
-- Windows Server 2012 R2 (standalone, not via ASC)
-- Windows Server 2016 (standalone, not via ASC)
-- Windows Server, version 1803
-- Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise
-- Windows 7 SP1 Pro
-- Windows 8 Pro
-- Windows 8.1 Enterprise
-- macOS
-- Linux
-
-The initial release of Microsoft Defender ATP will not have immediate parity with the commercial offering. While our goal is to deliver all commercial features and functionality to our US Government (GCC High) customers, there are some capabilities not yet available that we'd like to highlight.

+
+The wildcards (*) used in *.ods.opinsights.azure.com, *.oms.opinsights.azure.com, and *.agentsvc.azure-automation.net URL endpoints can be replaced with your specific Workspace ID. The Workspace ID is specific to your environment and workspace and can be found in the Onboarding section of your tenant within the Microsoft Defender Security Center portal.

+# Configure vulnerability email notifications in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
+
+[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 Defender rebranding](../../includes/microsoft-defender.md)]
+
+**Applies to:**
+- [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2154037)
+- [Microsoft 365 Defender](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2118804)
+
+>Want to experience Defender for Endpoint? [Sign up for a free trial.](https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/windows/microsoft-defender-atp?ocid=docs-wdatp-emailconfig-abovefoldlink)
+
+Configure Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to send email notifications to specified recipients for new vulnerability events. This feature enables you to identify a group of individuals who will immediately be informed and can act on the notifications based on the event. The vulnerability information comes from Defender for Endpoint's [threat and vulnerability management](next-gen-threat-and-vuln-mgt.md) capability.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Only users with 'Manage security settings' permissions can configure email notifications. If you've chosen to use basic permissions management, users with Security Administrator or Global Administrator roles can configure email notifications. [Learn more about permission options](user-roles.md)
+
+The notification rules allow you to set the vulnerability events that trigger notifications, and add or remove email notification recipients. New recipients get notified about vulnerabilities after they are added.
+
+If you're using role-based access control (RBAC), recipients will only receive notifications based on the device groups that were configured in the notification rule.
+Users with the proper permission can only create, edit, or delete notifications that are limited to their device group management scope. Only users assigned to the Global administrator role can manage notification rules that are configured for all device groups.
+
+The email notification includes basic information about the vulnerability event. There are also links to filtered views in the threat and vulnerability management [Security recommendations](tvm-security-recommendation.md) and [Weaknesses](tvm-weaknesses.md) pages in the portal so you can further investigate. For example, you could get a list of all exposed devices or get additional details about the vulnerability.
+
+## Create rules for alert notifications
+
+Create a notification rule to send an email when there are certain exploit or vulnerability events, such as a new public exploit. For each rule, multiple event types can be selected.
+
+1. In the navigation pane, go to **Settings** > **Email notifications** > **Vulnerabilities**.
+
+2. Select **Add notification rule**.
+
+3. Name the email notification rule and include a description.
+
+4. Check **Notification enabled** to activate the notification. Select **Next**
+
+5. Fill in the notification settings. Then select **Next**
+
+ - Choose device groups to get notifications for.
+ - Choose the vulnerability event(s) that you want to be notified about when they affect your organization.
+ - Options: new vulnerability found (including severity threshold), new public exploit, exploit added to an exploit kit, exploit was verified.
+ - Include organization name if you want the organization name in the email
+
+6. Enter the recipient email address then select **Add**. You can add multiple email addresses.
+
+7. Review the settings for the new email notification rule and select **Create rule** when you're ready to create it.
+
+## Edit a notification rule
+
+1. Select the notification rule you'd like to edit.
+
+2. Select the **Edit rule** button next to the pencil icon in the flyout. Make sure you have permission to edit or delete the rule.
+
+## Delete notification rule
+
+1. Select the notification rule you'd like to delete.
+
+2. Select the **Delete** button next to the trash can icon in the flyout. Make sure you have permission to edit or delete the rule.
+
+## Troubleshoot email notifications for alerts
+
+This section lists various issues that you may encounter when using email notifications for alerts.
+
+**Problem:** Intended recipients report they are not getting the notifications.
+
+**Solution:** Make sure that the notifications are not blocked by email filters:
+
+1. Check that the Defender for Endpoint email notifications are not sent to the Junk Email folder. Mark them as Not junk.
+2. Check that your email security product is not blocking the email notifications from Defender for Endpoint.
+3. Check your email application rules that might be catching and moving your Defender for Endpoint email notifications.

## What is controlled folder access?
-Controlled folder access helps you protect your valuable data from malicious apps and threats, like ransomware. 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).

Supported on Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 clients, controlled folder access can be turned on using the Windows Security App, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, or Intune (for managed devices).
-Controlled folder access works best with [Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection](../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).
+> [!NOTE]
+> Scripting engines are not trusted and you cannot allow them access to controlled protected folders. For example, PowerShell is not trusted by controlled folder access, even if you allow with [certificate and file indicators](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/indicator-certificates).
+
+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).
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Controlled folder access blocks don't generate alerts in the [Alerts queue](../microsoft-defender-atp/alerts-queue.md). However, you can view information about controlled folder access blocks in the [device timeline view](../microsoft-defender-atp/investigate-machines.md), while using [advanced hunting](../microsoft-defender-atp/advanced-hunting-overview.md), or with [custom detection rules](../microsoft-defender-atp/custom-detection-rules.md).
## How does controlled folder access work?
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.
+Controlled folder access works with a list of trusted apps. Apps that are included in the list of trusted software work as expected. Apps that are not included in the list are prevented from making any changes to files inside protected folders.
-Apps can also be manually added to the trusted list via Configuration Manager and Intune. Additional actions, such as [adding a file indicator](../microsoft-defender-atp/respond-file-alerts.md#add-indicator-to-block-or-allow-a-file) for the app, can be performed from the Security Center Console.

+
+## 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. With controlled folder access in place, a notification appears on the computer where an app attempted to make changes to a file in a protected folder. You can [customize the notification](customize-attack-surface-reduction.md#customize-the-notification) with your company details and contact information. You can also enable the rules individually to customize what techniques the feature monitors.
-The protected folders include common system folders, and you can [add additional folders](customize-controlled-folders.md#protect-additional-folders). You can also [allow apps](customize-controlled-folders.md#allow-specific-apps-to-make-changes-to-controlled-folders) to give them access to the protected folders.
+The [protected folders](#review-controlled-folder-access-events-in-windows-event-viewer) include common system folders (including boot sectors), and you can [add more folders](customize-controlled-folders.md#protect-additional-folders). You can also [allow apps](customize-controlled-folders.md#allow-specific-apps-to-make-changes-to-controlled-folders) to give them access to the protected folders.
You can use [audit mode](audit-windows-defender.md) to evaluate how controlled folder access would impact your organization if it were enabled. You can also visit the Windows Defender Test ground website at [demo.wd.microsoft.com](https://demo.wd.microsoft.com?ocid=cx-wddocs-testground) to confirm the feature is working and see how it works.
-Controlled folder access is supported on Windows 10, version 1709 and later and Windows Server 2019.
+Controlled folder access is supported on the following versions of Windows:
+- [Windows 10, version 1709](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/whats-new/whats-new-windows-10-version-1709) and later

+- `c:\Users\\Favorites`
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> You can configure additional folders as protected, but you cannot remove the Windows system folders that are protected by default.
+
+## Requirements for controlled folder access
Controlled folder access requires enabling [Microsoft Defender Antivirus real-time protection](../microsoft-defender-antivirus/configure-real-time-protection-microsoft-defender-antivirus.md).
## Review controlled folder access events in the Microsoft Defender Security Center
-Microsoft Defender ATP provides detailed reporting into events and blocks as part of its [alert investigation scenarios](../microsoft-defender-atp/investigate-alerts.md).
+Defender for Endpoint provides detailed reporting into events and blocks as part of its [alert investigation scenarios](../microsoft-defender-atp/investigate-alerts.md).

## Protect additional folders
-Controlled folder access applies to a number of system folders and default locations, such as Documents, Pictures, Movies, and Desktop. You can add additional folders to be protected, but you can't remove the default folders in the default list.
+Controlled folder access applies to many system folders and default locations, including folders such as **Documents**, **Pictures**, and **Movies**. You can add additional folders to be protected, but you cannot remove the default folders in the default list.
-Adding other folders to controlled folder access can be useful. Some use-cases include if you don't store files in the default Windows libraries, or you've changed the location of the libraries away from the defaults.

+# Address false positives/negatives in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
+
+[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 Defender rebranding](../../includes/microsoft-defender.md)]
+
+**Applies to**
+
+- [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2146806)
+
+In endpoint protection solutions, a false positive is an entity, such as a file or a process, that was detected and identified as malicious, even though the entity isn't actually a threat. A false negative is an entity that was not detected as a threat, even though it actually is malicious. False positives/negatives can occur with any threat protection solution, including [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/microsoft-defender-advanced-threat-protection).
+
+
+
+Fortunately, steps can be taken to address and reduce these kinds of issues. If you're seeing false positives/negatives in your [Microsoft Defender Security Center](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/use), your security operations can take steps to address them by using the following process:
+
+1. [Review and classify alerts](#part-1-review-and-classify-alerts)
+2. [Review remediation actions that were taken](#part-2-review-remediation-actions)
+3. [Review and define exclusions](#part-3-review-or-define-exclusions)
+4. [Submit an entity for analysis](#part-4-submit-a-file-for-analysis)
+5. [Review and adjust your threat protection settings](#part-5-review-and-adjust-your-threat-protection-settings)
+
+And, you can [get help if you still have issues with false positives/negatives](#still-need-help) after performing the tasks described in this article.
+
+
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This article is intended as guidance for security operators and security administrators who are using [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](microsoft-defender-advanced-threat-protection.md).
+
+## Part 1: Review and classify alerts
+
+If you see an [alert](alerts.md) that was triggered because something was detected as malicious or suspicious that should not have been, you can suppress the alert for that entity. You can also suppress alerts that are not necessarily false positives, but are unimportant. We recommend that you classify alerts as well.
+
+Managing your alerts and classifying true/false positives helps to train your threat protection solution and can reduce the number of false positives or false negatives over time. Taking these steps also helps reduce noise in your security operations dashboard so that your security team can focus on higher priority work items.
+
+### Determine whether an alert is accurate
+
+Before you classify or suppress an alert, determine whether the alert is accurate, a false positive, or benign.
+
+1. Go to the Microsoft Defender Security Center ([https://securitycenter.windows.com](https://securitycenter.windows.com)) and sign in.
+2. In the navigation pane, choose **Alerts queue**.
+3. Select an alert to more details about the alert. (See [Review alerts](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/review-alerts).)
+4. Depending on the alert status, take the steps described in the following table:
+
+| Alert status | What to do |
+|:---|:---|
+| The alert is accurate | Assign the alert, and then [investigate it](investigate-alerts.md) further. |
+| The alert is a false positive | 1. [Classify the alert](#classify-an-alert) as a false positive. 2. [Suppress the alert](#suppress-an-alert). 3. [Create an indicator](#indicators-for-microsoft-defender-for-endpoint) for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. 4. [Submit a file to Microsoft for analysis](#part-4-submit-a-file-for-analysis). |
+| The alert is accurate, but benign (unimportant) | [Classify the alert](#classify-an-alert) as a true positive, and then [suppress the alert](#suppress-an-alert). |
+
+### Classify an alert
+
+Alerts can be classified as false positives or true positives in the Microsoft Defender Security Center. Classifying alerts helps train Microsoft Defender for Endpoint so that, over time, you'll see more true alerts and fewer false alerts.
+
+1. Go to the Microsoft Defender Security Center ([https://securitycenter.windows.com](https://securitycenter.windows.com)) and sign in.
+2. Select **Alerts queue**, and then select an alert.
+3. For the selected alert, select **Actions** > **Manage alert**. A flyout pane opens.
+4. In the **Manage alert** section, select either **True alert** or **False alert**. (Use **False alert** to classify a false positive.)
+
+> [!TIP]
+> For more information about suppressing alerts, see [Manage Microsoft Defender for Endpoint alerts](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/manage-alerts). And, if your organization is using a security information and event management (SIEM) server, make sure to define a suppression rule there, too.
+
+### Suppress an alert
+
+If you have alerts that are either false positives or that are true positives but for unimportant events, you can suppress those alerts in the Microsoft Defender Security Center. Suppressing alerts helps reduce noise in your security operations dashboard.
+
+1. Go to the Microsoft Defender Security Center ([https://securitycenter.windows.com](https://securitycenter.windows.com)) and sign in.
+2. In the navigation pane, select **Alerts queue**.
+3. Select an alert that you want to suppress to open its **Details** pane.
+4. In the **Details** pane, choose the ellipsis (**...**), and then **Create a suppression rule**.
+5. Specify all the settings for your suppression rule, and then choose **Save**.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Need help with suppression rules? See [Suppress an alert and create a new suppression rule](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/manage-alerts#suppress-an-alert-and-create-a-new-suppression-rule).
+
+## Part 2: Review remediation actions
+
+[Remediation actions](manage-auto-investigation.md#remediation-actions), such as sending a file to quarantine or stopping a process, are taken on entities (such as files) that are detected as threats. Several types of remediation actions occur automatically through automated investigation and Microsoft Defender Antivirus:
+- Quarantine a file
+- Remove a registry key
+- Kill a process
+- Stop a service
+- Disable a driver
+- Remove a scheduled task
+
+Other actions, such as starting an antivirus scan or collecting an investigation package, occur manually or through [Live Response](live-response.md). Actions taken through Live Response cannot be undone.
+
+After you have reviewed your alerts, your next step is to [review remediation actions](manage-auto-investigation.md). If any actions were taken as a result of false positives, you can undo most kinds of remediation actions. Specifically, you can:
+- [Undo one action at a time](#undo-an-action);
+- [Undo multiple actions at one time](#undo-multiple-actions-at-one-time); and
+- [Remove a file from quarantine across multiple devices](#remove-a-file-from-quarantine-across-multiple-devices).
+
+When you're done reviewing and undoing actions that were taken as a result of false positives, proceed to [review or define exclusions](#part-3-review-or-define-exclusions).
+
+### Review completed actions
+
+1. Go to the Action center ([https://securitycenter.windows.com/action-center](https://securitycenter.windows.com/action-center)) and sign in.
+2. Select the **History** tab to view a list of actions that were taken.
+3. Select an item to view more details about the remediation action that was taken.
+

+3. In the pane on the right side of the screen, select **Apply to X more instances of this file**, and then select **Undo**.
+
+## Part 3: Review or define exclusions
+
+An exclusion is an entity, such as a file or URL, that you specify as an exception to remediation actions. The excluded entity can still get detected, but no remediation actions are taken on that entity. That is, the detected file or process won’t be stopped, sent to quarantine, removed, or otherwise changed by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
+
+To define exclusions across Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, perform the following tasks:
+- [Define exclusions for Microsoft Defender Antivirus](#exclusions-for-microsoft-defender-antivirus)
+- [Create “allow” indicators for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](#indicators-for-microsoft-defender-for-endpoint)
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Microsoft Defender Antivirus exclusions apply only to antivirus protection, not across other Microsoft Defender for Endpoint capabilities. To exclude files broadly, use exclusions for Microsoft Defender Antivirus and [custom indicators](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/manage-indicators) for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
+
+The procedures in this section describe how to define exclusions and indicators.
+
+### Exclusions for Microsoft Defender Antivirus
+
+In general, you should not need to define exclusions for Microsoft Defender Antivirus. Make sure that you define exclusions sparingly, and that you only include the files, folders, processes, and process-opened files that are resulting in false positives. In addition, make sure to review your defined exclusions regularly. We recommend using [Microsoft Endpoint Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/endpoint-manager-overview) to define or edit your antivirus exclusions; however, you can use other methods, such as [Group Policy](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory-domain-services/manage-group-policy) (see [Manage Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](manage-atp-post-migration.md)).
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Need help with antivirus exclusions? See [Configure and validate exclusions for Microsoft Defender Antivirus scans](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/configure-exclusions-microsoft-defender-antivirus).
+
+#### Use Microsoft Endpoint Manager to manage antivirus exclusions (for existing policies)
+
+1. Go to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center ([https://endpoint.microsoft.com](https://endpoint.microsoft.com)) and sign in.
+2. Choose **Endpoint security** > **Antivirus**, and then select an existing policy. (If you don’t have an existing policy, or you want to create a new policy, skip to [the next procedure](#use-microsoft-endpoint-manager-to-create-a-new-antivirus-policy-with-exclusions)).
+3. Choose **Properties**, and next to **Configuration settings**, choose **Edit**.
+4. Expand **Microsoft Defender Antivirus Exclusions** and then specify your exclusions.
+5. Choose **Review + save**, and then choose **Save**.
+
+#### Use Microsoft Endpoint Manager to create a new antivirus policy with exclusions
+
+1. Go to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center ([https://endpoint.microsoft.com](https://endpoint.microsoft.com)) and sign in.
+2. Choose **Endpoint security** > **Antivirus** > **+ Create Policy**.
+3. Select a platform (such as **Windows 10 and later**, **macOS**, or **Windows 10 and Windows Server**).
+4. For **Profile**, select **Microsoft Defender Antivirus exclusions**, and then choose **Create**.
+5. Specify a name and description for the profile, and then choose **Next**.
+6. On the **Configuration settings** tab, specify your antivirus exclusions, and then choose **Next**.
+7. On the **Scope tags** tab, if you are using scope tags in your organization, specify scope tags for the policy you are creating. (See [Scope tags](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/intune/fundamentals/scope-tags).)
+8. On the **Assignments** tab, specify the users and groups to whom your policy should be applied, and then choose **Next**. (If you need help with assignments, see [Assign user and device profiles in Microsoft Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/intune/configuration/device-profile-assign).)
+9. On the **Review + create** tab, review the settings, and then choose **Create**.
+
+### Indicators for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
+
+[Indicators](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/manage-indicators) (specifically, indicators of compromise, or IoCs) enable your security operations team to define the detection, prevention, and exclusion of entities. For example, you can specify certain files to be omitted from scans and remediation actions in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Or, indicators can be used to generate alerts for certain files, IP addresses, or URLs.
+
+To specify entities as exclusions for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, create "allow" indicators for those entities. Such "allow" indicators in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint apply to [next-generation protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/microsoft-defender-antivirus-in-windows-10), [endpoint detection and response](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/overview-endpoint-detection-response), and [automated investigation & remediation](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/automated-investigations).
+
+"Allow" indicators can be created for:
+
+- [Files](#indicators-for-files)
+- [IP addresses, URLs, and domains](#indicators-for-ip-addresses-urls-or-domains)
+- [Application certificates](#indicators-for-application-certificates)
+
+
+
+#### Indicators for files
+
+When you [create an "allow" indicator for a file, such as an executable](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/indicator-file), it helps prevent files that your organization is using from being blocked. Files can include portable executable (PE) files, such as `.exe` and `.dll` files.
+
+Before you create indicators for files, make sure the following requirements are met:
+- Microsoft Defender Antivirus is configured with cloud-based protection enabled (see [Manage cloud-based protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/deploy-manage-report-microsoft-defender-antivirus))
+- Antimalware client version is 4.18.1901.x or later
+- Devices are running Windows 10, version 1703 or later; Windows Server 2016; or Windows Server 2019
+- The [Block or allow feature is turned on](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/advanced-features)
+
+#### Indicators for IP addresses, URLs, or domains
+
+When you [create an "allow" indicator for an IP address, URL, or domain](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/indicator-ip-domain), it helps prevent the sites or IP addresses your organization uses from being blocked.
+
+Before you create indicators for IP addresses, URLs, or domains, make sure the following requirements are met:
+- Network protection in Defender for Endpoint is enabled in block mode (see [Enable network protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/enable-network-protection))
+- Antimalware client version is 4.18.1906.x or later
+- Devices are running Windows 10, version 1709, or later
+
+Custom network indicators are turned on in the Microsoft Defender Security Center (see [Advanced features](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/advanced-features))
+
+#### Indicators for application certificates
+
+When you [create an "allow" indicator for an application certificate](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/indicator-certificates), it helps prevent applications, such as internally developed applications, that your organization uses from being blocked. `.CER` or `.PEM` file extensions are supported.
+
+Before you create indicators for application certificates, make sure the following requirements are met:
+- Microsoft Defender Antivirus is configured with cloud-based protection enabled (see [Manage cloud-based protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/deploy-manage-report-microsoft-defender-antivirus))
+- Antimalware client version is 4.18.1901.x or later
+- Devices are running Windows 10, version 1703 or later; Windows Server 2016; or Windows Server 2019
+- Virus and threat protection definitions are up to date
+
+> [!TIP]
+> When you create indicators, you can define them one by one, or import multiple items at once. Keep in mind there's a limit of 15,000 indicators for a single tenant. And, you might need to gather certain details first, such as file hash information. Make sure to review the prerequisites before you [create indicators](manage-indicators.md).
+
+## Part 4: Submit a file for analysis
+
+You can submit entities, such as files and fileless detections, to Microsoft for analysis. Microsoft security researchers analyze all submissions, and their results help inform Microsoft Defender for Endpoint threat protection capabilities. When you sign in at the submission site, you can track your submissions.
+
+### Submit a file for analysis
+
+If you have a file that was either wrongly detected as malicious or was missed, follow these steps to submit the file for analysis.
+
+1. Review the guidelines here: [Submit files for analysis](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/submission-guide).
+2. Visit the Microsoft Security Intelligence submission site ([https://www.microsoft.com/wdsi/filesubmission](https://www.microsoft.com/wdsi/filesubmission)), and submit your file(s).
+
+### Submit a fileless detection for analysis
+
+If something was detected as malware based on behavior, and you don’t have a file, you can submit your `Mpsupport.cab` file for analysis. You can get the *.cab* file by using the Microsoft Malware Protection Command-Line Utility (MPCmdRun.exe) tool on Windows 10.
+
+1. Go to ` C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Platform\`, and then run `MpCmdRun.exe` as an administrator.
+2. Type `mpcmdrun.exe -GetFiles`, and then press **Enter**.
+ A .cab file is generated that contains various diagnostic logs. The location of the file is specified in the output of the command prompt. By default, the location is `C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Support\MpSupportFiles.cab`.
+3. Review the guidelines here: [Submit files for analysis](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/submission-guide).
+4. Visit the Microsoft Security Intelligence submission site ([https://www.microsoft.com/wdsi/filesubmission](https://www.microsoft.com/wdsi/filesubmission)), and submit your .cab files.
+
+### What happens after a file is submitted?
+
+Your submission is immediately scanned by our systems to give you the latest determination even before an analyst starts handling your case. It’s possible that a file might have already been submitted and processed by an analyst. In those cases, a determination is made quickly.
+
+For submissions that were not already processed, they are prioritized for analysis as follows:
+
+- Prevalent files with the potential to impact large numbers of computers are given a higher priority.
+- Authenticated customers, especially enterprise customers with valid [Software Assurance IDs (SAIDs)](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/licensing-programs/software-assurance-default.aspx), are given a higher priority.
+- Submissions flagged as high priority by SAID holders are given immediate attention.
+
+To check for updates regarding your submission, sign in at the [Microsoft Security Intelligence submission site](https://www.microsoft.com/wdsi/filesubmission).
+
+> [!TIP]
+> To learn more, see [Submit files for analysis](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/submission-guide#how-does-microsoft-prioritize-submissions).
+
+## Part 5: Review and adjust your threat protection settings
+
+Microsoft Defender for Endpoint offers a wide variety of options, including the ability to fine-tune settings for various features and capabilities. If you’re getting numerous false positives, make sure to review your organization’s threat protection settings. You might need to make some adjustments to:
+
+- [Cloud-delivered protection](#cloud-delivered-protection)
+- [Remediation for potentially unwanted applications](#remediation-for-potentially-unwanted-applications)
+- [Automated investigation and remediation](#automated-investigation-and-remediation)
+
+### Cloud-delivered protection
+
+Check your cloud-delivered protection level for Microsoft Defender Antivirus. By default, cloud-delivered protection is set to **Not configured**, which corresponds to a normal level of protection for most organizations. If your cloud-delivered protection is set to **High**, **High +**, or **Zero tolerance**, you might experience a higher number of false positives.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> To learn more about configuring your cloud-delivered protection, see [Specify the cloud-delivered protection level](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/specify-cloud-protection-level-microsoft-defender-antivirus).
+
+We recommend using [Microsoft Endpoint Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/endpoint-manager-overview) to edit or set your cloud-delivered protection settings; however, you can use other methods, such as [Group Policy](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory-domain-services/manage-group-policy) (see [Manage Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](manage-atp-post-migration.md)).
+
+#### Use Microsoft Endpoint Manager to review and edit cloud-delivered protection settings (for existing policies)
+
+1. Go to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center ([https://endpoint.microsoft.com](https://endpoint.microsoft.com)) and sign in.
+2. Choose **Endpoint security** > **Antivirus** and then select an existing policy. (If you don’t have an existing policy, or you want to create a new policy, skip to [the next procedure](#use-microsoft-endpoint-manager-to-set-cloud-delivered-protection-settings-for-a-new-policy)).
+3. Under **Manage**, select **Properties**. Then, next to **Configuration settings**, choose **Edit**.
+4. Expand **Cloud protection**, and review your current setting in the **Cloud-delivered protection level** row. We recommend setting cloud-delivered protection to **Not configured**, which provides strong protection while reducing the chances of getting false positives.
+5. Choose **Review + save**, and then **Save**.
+
+#### Use Microsoft Endpoint Manager to set cloud-delivered protection settings (for a new policy)
+
+1. Go to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center ([https://endpoint.microsoft.com](https://endpoint.microsoft.com)) and sign in.
+2. Choose **Endpoint security** > **Antivirus** > **+ Create policy**.
+3. For **Platform**, select an option, and then for **Profile**, select **Antivirus** or **Microsoft Defender Antivirus** (the specific option depends on what you selected for **Platform**.) Then choose **Create**.
+4. On the **Basics** tab, specify a name and description for the policy. Then choose **Next**.
+5. On the **Configuration settings** tab, expand **Cloud protection**, and specify the following settings:
+ - Set **Turn on cloud-delivered protection** to **Yes**.
+ - Set **Cloud-delivered protection level** to **Not configured**. (This level provides a strong level of protection by default while reducing the chances of getting false positives.)
+6. On the **Scope tags** tab, if you are using scope tags in your organization, specify scope tags for the policy. (See [Scope tags](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/intune/fundamentals/scope-tags).)
+8. On the **Assignments** tab, specify the users and groups to whom your policy should be applied, and then choose **Next**. (If you need help with assignments, see [Assign user and device profiles in Microsoft Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/intune/configuration/device-profile-assign).)
+9. On the **Review + create** tab, review the settings, and then choose **Create**.
+
+### Remediation for potentially unwanted applications
+
+Potentially unwanted applications (PUA) are a category of software that can cause devices to run slowly, display unexpected ads, or install other software that might be unexpected or unwanted. Examples of PUA include advertising software, bundling software, and evasion software that behaves differently with security products. Although PUA is not considered malware, some kinds of software are PUA based on their behavior and reputation.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> To learn more about PUA, see [Detect and block potentially unwanted applications](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/detect-block-potentially-unwanted-apps-microsoft-defender-antivirus).
+
+Depending on the apps your organization is using, you might be getting false positives as a result of your PUA protection settings. If necessary, consider running PUA protection in audit mode for a while, or apply PUA protection to a subset of devices in your organization. PUA protection can be configured for the Microsoft Edge browser and for Microsoft Defender Antivirus.
+
+We recommend using [Microsoft Endpoint Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/endpoint-manager-overview) to edit or set PUA protection settings; however, you can use other methods, such as [Group Policy](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory-domain-services/manage-group-policy) (see [Manage Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](manage-atp-post-migration.md)).
+
+#### Use Microsoft Endpoint Manager to edit PUA protection (for existing configuration profiles)
+
+1. Go to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center ([https://endpoint.microsoft.com](https://endpoint.microsoft.com)) and sign in.
+2. Choose **Devices** > **Configuration profiles**, and then select an existing policy. (If you don’t have an existing policy, or you want to create a new policy, skip to [the next procedure](#use-microsoft-endpoint-manager-to-set-pua-protection-for-a-new-configuration-profile).)
+3. Under **Manage**, choose **Properties**, and then, next to **Configuration settings**, choose **Edit**.
+4. On the **Configuration settings** tab, scroll down and expand **Microsoft Defender Antivirus**.
+5. Set **Detect potentially unwanted applications** to **Audit**. (You can turn it off, but by using audit mode, you will be able to see detections.)
+6. Choose **Review + save**, and then choose **Save**.
+
+#### Use Microsoft Endpoint Manager to set PUA protection (for a new configuration profile)
+
+1. Go to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center ([https://endpoint.microsoft.com](https://endpoint.microsoft.com)) and sign in.
+2. Choose **Devices** > **Configuration profiles** > **+ Create profile**.
+3. For the **Platform**, choose **Windows 10 and later**, and for **Profile**, select **Device restrictions**.
+4. On the **Basics** tab, specify a name and description for your policy. Then choose **Next**.
+5. On the **Configuration settings** tab, scroll down and expand **Microsoft Defender Antivirus**.
+6. Set **Detect potentially unwanted applications** to **Audit**, and then choose **Next**. (You can turn off PUA protection, but by using audit mode, you will be able to see detections.)
+7. On the **Assignments** tab, specify the users and groups to whom your policy should be applied, and then choose **Next**. (If you need help with assignments, see [Assign user and device profiles in Microsoft Intune](https://docs.microsoft.com/mem/intune/configuration/device-profile-assign).)
+8. On the **Applicability Rules** tab, specify the OS editions or versions to include or exclude from the policy. For example, you can set the policy to be applied to all devices certain editions of Windows 10. Then choose **Next**.
+9. On the **Review + create** tab, review your settings, and, and then choose **Create**.
+
+### Automated investigation and remediation
+
+[Automated investigation and remediation](automated-investigations.md) (AIR) capabilities are designed to examine alerts and take immediate action to resolve breaches. As alerts are triggered, and an automated investigation runs, a verdict is generated for each piece of evidence investigated. Verdicts can be *Malicious*, *Suspicious*, or *No threats found*.
+
+Depending on the [level of automation](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/automation-levels) set for your organization and other security settings, remediation actions are taken on artifacts that are considered to be *Malicious* or *Suspicious*. In some cases, remediation actions occur automatically; in other cases, remediation actions are taken manually or only upon approval by your security operations team.
+
+- [Learn more about automation levels](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/automation-levels); and then
+- [Configure AIR capabilities in Defender for Endpoint](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/configure-automated-investigations-remediation).
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> We recommend using *Full automation* for automated investigation and remediation. Don't turn these capabilities off because of a false positive. Instead, use ["allow" indicators to define exceptions](#indicators-for-microsoft-defender-for-endpoint), and keep automated investigation and remediation set to take appropriate actions automatically. Following [this guidance](automation-levels.md#levels-of-automation) helps reduce the number of alerts your security operations team must handle.
+

+# Deploy Microsoft Defender for Endpoint in rings
+
+[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 Defender rebranding](../../includes/microsoft-defender.md)]
+
+**Applies to:**
+- [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2154037)
+- [Microsoft 365 Defender](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2118804)

+
+Deploying Microsoft Defender for Endpoint can be done using a ring-based deployment approach.
+
+The deployment rings can be applied in the following scenarios:
+- [New deployments](#new-deployments)
+- [Existing deployments](#existing-deployments)
+
+## New deployments
+
+
+
+
+A ring-based approach is a method of identifying a set of endpoints to onboard and verifying that certain criteria is met before proceeding to deploy the service to a larger set of devices. You can define the exit criteria for each ring and ensure that they are satisfied before moving on to the next ring.
+
+Adopting a ring-based deployment helps reduce potential issues that could arise while rolling out the service. By piloting a certain number of devices first, you can identify potential issues and mitigate potential risks that might arise.
+
+
+Table 1 provides an example of the deployment rings you might use.
+
+**Table 1**
+
+|**Deployment ring**|**Description**|
+|:-----|:-----|
+Evaluate | Ring 1: Identify 50 systems for pilot testing
+Pilot | Ring 2: Identify the next 50-100 endpoints in production environment
+Full deployment | Ring 3: Roll out service to the rest of environment in larger increments
+
+
+
+### Exit criteria
+An example set of exit criteria for these rings can include:
+- Devices show up in the device inventory list
+- Alerts appear in dashboard
+- [Run a detection test](run-detection-test.md)
+- [Run a simulated attack on a device](attack-simulations.md)
+
+### Evaluate
+Identify a small number of test machines in your environment to onboard to the service. Ideally, these machines would be fewer than 50 endpoints.
+
+
+### Pilot
+Microsoft Defender ATP supports a variety of endpoints that you can onboard to the service. In this ring, identify several devices to onboard and based on the exit criteria you define, decide to proceed to the next deployment ring.
+
+The following table shows the supported endpoints and the corresponding tool you can use to onboard devices to the service.
+
+| Endpoint | Deployment tool |
+|--------------|------------------------------------------|
+| **Windows** | [Local script (up to 10 devices)](configure-endpoints-script.md) NOTE: If you want to deploy more than 10 devices in a production environment, use the Group Policy method instead or the other supported tools listed below. [Group Policy](configure-endpoints-gp.md) [Microsoft Endpoint Manager/ Mobile Device Manager](configure-endpoints-mdm.md) [Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager](configure-endpoints-sccm.md) [VDI scripts](configure-endpoints-vdi.md) |
+| **macOS** | [Local script](mac-install-manually.md) [Microsoft Endpoint Manager](mac-install-with-intune.md) [JAMF Pro](mac-install-with-jamf.md) [Mobile Device Management](mac-install-with-other-mdm.md) |
+| **Linux Server** | [Local script](linux-install-manually.md) [Puppet](linux-install-with-puppet.md) [Ansible](linux-install-with-ansible.md)|
+| **iOS** | [App-based](ios-install.md) |
+| **Android** | [Microsoft Endpoint Manager](android-intune.md) |
+
+
+
+
+### Full deployment
+At this stage, you can use the [Plan deployment](deployment-strategy.md) material to help you plan your deployment.
+
+
+Use the following material to select the appropriate Microsoft Defender ATP architecture that best suites your organization.
+
+|**Item**|**Description**|
+|:-----|:-----|

Cloud-native
Co-management
On-premise
Evaluation and local onboarding
+
+
+
+
+## Existing deployments
+
+### Windows endpoints
+For Windows and/or Windows Servers, you select several machines to test ahead of time (before patch Tuesday) by using the **Security Update Validation program (SUVP)**.
+
+For more information, see:
+- [What is the Security Update Validation Program](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/what-is-the-security-update-validation-program/ba-p/275767)
+- [Software Update Validation Program and Microsoft Malware Protection Center Establishment - TwC Interactive Timeline Part 4](https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2012/03/28/software-update-validation-program-and-microsoft-malware-protection-center-establishment-twc-interactive-timeline-part-4/)
+
+
+### Non-Windows endpoints
+With macOS and Linux, you could take a couple of systems and run in the "InsidersFast" channel.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>Ideally at least one security admin and one developer so that you are able to find compatibility, performance and reliability issues before the build makes it into the "Production" channel.
+
+The choice of the channel determines the type and frequency of updates that are offered to your device. Devices in insiders-fast are the first ones to receive updates and new features, followed later by insiders-slow and lastly by prod.
+
+
+
+In order to preview new features and provide early feedback, it is recommended that you configure some devices in your enterprise to use either insiders-fast or insiders-slow.
+
+>[!WARNING]
+>Switching the channel after the initial installation requires the product to be reinstalled. To switch the product channel: uninstall the existing package, re-configure your device to use the new channel, and follow the steps in this document to install the package from the new location.

## What is EDR in block mode?
-When [endpoint detection and response](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/overview-endpoint-detection-response) (EDR) in block mode is turned on, Microsoft Defender ATP blocks malicious artifacts or behaviors that are observed through post-breach protection. EDR in block mode works behind the scenes to remediate malicious artifacts that are detected, post breach.
+[Endpoint detection and response](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/overview-endpoint-detection-response) (EDR) in block mode provides protection from malicious artifacts, even when Microsoft Defender Antivirus is running in passive mode. When turned on, EDR in block mode blocks malicious artifacts or behaviors that are detected on a device. EDR in block mode works behind the scenes to remediate malicious artifacts that are detected post breach.
EDR in block mode is also integrated with [threat & vulnerability management](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/next-gen-threat-and-vuln-mgt). Your organization's security team will get a [security recommendation](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/tvm-security-recommendation) to turn EDR in block mode on if it isn't already enabled.

+> To get the best protection value, make sure your antivirus solution is configured to receive regular updates and essential features, and that your [exclusions are configured](../microsoft-defender-antivirus/configure-exclusions-microsoft-defender-antivirus.md). EDR in block mode respects exclusions that are defined for Microsoft Defender Antivirus.
## Frequently asked questions
+### Do I need to turn EDR in block mode on even when I have Microsoft Defender Antivirus running on devices?
+
+We recommend keeping EDR in block mode on, whether Microsoft Defender Antivirus is running in passive mode or in active mode. EDR in block mode provides another layer of defense with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. It allows Defender for Endpoint to take actions based on post-breach behavioral EDR detections.
+
### Will EDR in block mode have any impact on a user's antivirus protection?
-No. EDR in block mode does not affect third-party antivirus protection running on users' devices. EDR in block mode kicks in if the primary antivirus solution misses something, or if there is a post-breach detection. EDR in block mode works just like [Microsoft Defender Antivirus in passive mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/microsoft-defender-antivirus-compatibility#functionality-and-features-available-in-each-state), with the additional steps of blocking and remediating malicious artifacts or behaviors that are detected.

EDR in block mode works just like [Microsoft Defender Antivirus in passive mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/microsoft-defender-antivirus-compatibility#functionality-and-features-available-in-each-state), except it also blocks and remediates malicious artifacts or behaviors that are detected.
### Why do I need to keep Microsoft Defender Antivirus up to date?
-Because Microsoft Defender Antivirus detects and remediates malicious items, it's important to keep it up to date to leverage the latest device learning models, behavioral detections, and heuristics for EDR in block mode to be most effective. The [Microsoft Defender ATP](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection) stack of capabilities works in an integrated manner, and to get best protection value, you should keep Microsoft Defender Antivirus up to date.

### Why do we need cloud protection on?
-Cloud protection is needed to turn on the feature on the device. Cloud protection allows [Microsoft Defender ATP](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection) to deliver the latest and greatest protection based on our breadth and depth of security intelligence, along with behavioral and device learning models.

+
+### How do I set Microsoft Defender Antivirus to passive mode?
+
+See [Enable Microsoft Defender Antivirus and confirm it's in passive mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/switch-to-microsoft-defender-setup#enable-microsoft-defender-antivirus-and-confirm-its-in-passive-mode).
+
+### How do I confirm Microsoft Defender Antivirus is in active or passive mode?
+
+To confirm whether Microsoft Defender Antivirus is running in active or passive mode, you can use Command Prompt or PowerShell on a device running Windows.
+
+#### Use PowerShell
+
+1. Select the Start menu, begin typing `PowerShell`, and then open Windows PowerShell in the results.
+
+2. Type `Get-MpComputerStatus`.
+
+3. In the list of results, in the **AMRunningMode** row, look for one of the following values:
+ - `Normal`
+ - `Passive Mode`
+ - `SxS Passive Mode`
+
+To learn more, see [Get-MpComputerStatus](https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/defender/get-mpcomputerstatus).
+
+#### Use Command Prompt
+
+1. Select the Start menu, begin typing `Command Prompt`, and then open Windows Command Prompt in the results.
+
+2. Type `sc query windefend`.
+
+3. In the list of results, in the **STATE** row, confirm that the service is running.

## Exclude files and folders from ASR rules
You can exclude files and folders from being evaluated by most attack surface reduction rules. This means that even if an ASR rule determines the file or folder contains malicious behavior, it will not block the file from running. This could potentially allow unsafe files to run and infect your devices.

-# Enable Microsoft Defender ATP Insider Device
-
-[!INCLUDE [Microsoft 365 Defender rebranding](../../includes/microsoft-defender.md)]
-
-
-Endpoint detection and response capabilities in Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac are now in preview. To get these and other preview features, you must set up your Mac device to be an "Insider" device as described in this article. For scale deployment, we recommend using [Jamf](#enable-the-insider-program-with-jamf) or [Intune](#enable-the-insider-program-with-intune).
-
->[!IMPORTANT]
->Make sure you have enabled [Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac](microsoft-defender-atp-mac.md#how-to-install-microsoft-defender-atp-for-mac), and pay attention to the “earlyPreview” flag. See documentation for [Jamf](mac-install-with-jamf.md), [Intune](mac-install-with-intune.md) and [manual deployment](mac-install-manually.md) instructions.
-
-## Enable the Insider program with Jamf
-
-1. Create configuration profile com.microsoft.wdav.plist with the following content:
-
- ```XML
-
-
-
-
- edr
-
- earlyPreview
-
-
-
-
- ```
-
-1. From the JAMF console, navigate to **Computers > Configuration Profiles**, navigate to the configuration profile you'd like to use, then select **Custom Settings**.
-
-1. Create an entry with com.microsoft.wdav as the preference domain and upload the .plist created earlier.
-
- > [!WARNING]
- > You must enter the correct preference domain (com.microsoft.wdav), otherwise the preferences will not be recognized by the product
-

-1. Select **Manage > Assignments**. In the **Include** tab, select **Assign to All Users & All devices**.
-
- > [!WARNING]
- > You must enter the correct custom configuration profile name, otherwise these preferences will not be recognized by the product.
-
-## Enable the Insider program manually on a single device
-
-In terminal, run:
-
-```bash
- mdatp --edr --early-preview true
-```
-
-For versions earlier than 100.78.0, run:
-
-```bash
- mdatp --edr --earlyPreview true
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Verify you are running the correct version
-
-To get the latest version of the Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac, set the Microsoft AutoUpdate to “Fast Ring”. To get “Microsoft AutoUpdate”, download it from [Release history for Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU)](https://docs.microsoft.com/officeupdates/release-history-microsoft-autoupdate).
-
-To verify you are running the correct version, run ‘mdatp --health’ on the device.
-
-* The required version is 100.72.15 or later.
-* If the version is not as expected, verify that Microsoft Auto Update is set to automatically download and install updates by running ‘defaults read com.microsoft.autoupdate2’ from terminal.
-* To change update settings use documentation in [Update Office for Mac automatically](https://support.office.com/article/update-office-for-mac-automatically-bfd1e497-c24d-4754-92ab-910a4074d7c1).
-* If you are not using Office for Mac, download and run the AutoUpdate tool.
-
-### A device still does not appear on Microsoft Defender Security Center
-
-After a successful deployment and onboarding of the correct version, check that the device has connectivity to the cloud service by running ‘mdatp --connectivity-test’.
-
-* Check that you enabled the early preview flag. In terminal run “mdatp –health” and look for the value of “edrEarlyPreviewEnabled”. It should be “Enabled”.
-
-If you followed the manual deployment instructions, you were prompted to enable Kernel Extensions. Pay attention to the “System Extension note” in the [manual deployment documentation](mac-install-manually.md#application-installation-macos-1015-and-older-versions) and use the “Manual Deployment” section in the [troubleshoot kernel extension documentation](mac-support-kext.md#manual-deployment).

> [!IMPORTANT]
-> In preparation for macOS 11 Big Sur, we are getting ready to release an update to Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac that will leverage new system extensions instead of kernel extensions. Apple will stop supporting kernel extensions starting macOS 11 Big Sur version. Therefore an update to the Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac agent is required on all eligible macOS devices prior to moving these devices to macOS 11.
->
-> The update is applicable to devices running macOS version 10.15.4 or later.
->
-> To ensure that the Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac update is delivered and applied seamlessly from an end-user experience perspective, a new remote configuration must be deployed to all eligible macOS devices before Microsoft publishes the new agent version. If the configuration is not deployed prior to the Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac agent update, end-users will be presented with a series of system dialogs asking to grant the agent all necessary permissions associated with the new system extensions.
->
-> Timing:
-> - Organizations that previously opted into Microsoft Defender ATP preview features in Microsoft Defender Security Center, must be ready for Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac agent update **by August 10, 2020**.
-> - Organizations that do not participate in public previews for Microsoft Defender ATP features, must be ready **by September 07, 2020**.
->
-> Action is needed by IT administrator. Review the steps below and assess the impact on your organization:
->
-> 1. Deploy the specified remote configuration to eligible macOS devices before Microsoft publishes the new agent version.
-> Even though Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac new implementation based on system extensions is only applicable to devices running macOS version 10.15.4 or later, deploying configuration proactively across the entire macOS fleet will ensure that even down-level devices are prepared for the day when Apple releases macOS 11 Big Sur and will ensure that Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac continues protecting all macOS devices regardless OS version they were running prior to the Big Sur upgrade.
->
-> 2. Refer to this documentation for detailed configuration information and instructions: [New configuration profiles for macOS Catalina and newer versions of macOS](mac-sysext-policies.md).
-> 3. Monitor this page for an announcement of the actual release of MDATP for Mac agent update.
+> On macOS 11 (Big Sur), Microsoft Defender for Endpoint requires additional configuration profiles. If you are an existing customer upgrading from earlier versions of macOS, make sure to deploy the additional configuration profiles listed on [this page](mac-sysext-policies.md).
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Support for macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) has been discontinued on February 15th, 2021.

Indicator of compromise (IoCs) matching is an essential feature in every endpoint protection solution. This capability gives SecOps the ability to set a list of indicators for detection and for blocking (prevention and response).
Create indicators that define the detection, prevention, and exclusion of entities. You can define the action to be taken as well as the duration for when to apply the action as well as the scope of the device group to apply it to.
-Currently supported sources are the cloud detection engine of Microsoft Defender ATP, the automated investigation and remediation engine, and the endpoint prevention engine (Microsoft Defender AV).
+Currently supported sources are the cloud detection engine of Defender for Endpoint, the automated investigation and remediation engine, and the endpoint prevention engine (Microsoft Defender AV).
**Cloud detection engine**
-The cloud detection engine of Microsoft Defender ATP regularly scans collected data and tries to match the indicators you set. When there is a match, action will be taken according to the settings you specified for the IoC.

-The same list of indicators is honored by the prevention agent. Meaning, if Microsoft Defender AV is the primary AV configured, the matched indicators will be treated according to the settings. For example, if the action is "Alert and Block", Microsoft Defender AV will prevent file executions (block and remediate) and a corresponding alert will be raised. On the other hand, if the Action is set to "Allow", Microsoft Defender AV will not detect nor block the file from being run.

+# Onboard Windows 10 multi-session devices in Windows Virtual Desktop
+
+Applies to:
+- Windows 10 multi-session running on Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD)
+
+> Want to experience Microsoft Defender for Endpoint? [Sign up for a free trial.](https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/windows/microsoft-defender-atp?ocid=docs-wdatp-exposedapis-abovefoldlink)
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Welcome to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, the new name for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Read more about this and other updates here. We'll be updating names in products and in the docs in the near future.
+
+Microsoft Defender for Endpoint supports monitoring both VDI as well as Windows Virtual Desktop sessions. Depending on your organization's needs, you might need to implement VDI or Windows Virtual Desktop sessions to help your employees access corporate data and apps from an unmanaged device, remote location, or similar scenario. With Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, you can monitor these virtual machines for anomalous activity.
+
+## Before you begin
+
+See [considerations for non-persistent VDI](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/configure-endpoints-vdi#onboard-non-persistent-virtual-desktop-infrastructure-vdi-devices-1). Although [Windows Virtual Desktop](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-desktop/overview) does not provide non-persistence options, it does provide ways to use a Windows image that can be used to provision new hosts and redeploy machines. This increases volatility in the environment, and thus impacts what entries are created and maintained in the Microsoft Defender Security Center ([https://securitycenter.windows.com](https://securitycenter.windows.com)), potentially reducing visibility for your security analysts.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Depending on your choice of onboarding method, devices can appear in Microsoft Defender Security Center as either:
+> - Single entry for each virtual desktop
+> - Multiple entries for each virtual desktop
+
+Microsoft recommends onboarding Windows Virtual Desktop as a single entry per virtual desktop. This ensures that the investigation experience in the Microsoft Defender Security Center is in the context of one device based on the machine name. Organizations that frequently delete and re-deploy WVD hosts should strongly consider using this method as it prevents multiple objects for the same machine from being created in the Microsoft Defender Security Center. This can lead to confusion when investigating incidents. For test or non-volatile environments, you may opt to choose differently.
+
+Microsoft recommends adding the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint onboarding script to the WVD image. This way, you can be sure that this onboarding script runs immediately at first boot. It is executed as a startup script at first boot on all the WVD machines that are provisioned from the WVD golden image. However, if you are using one of the gallery images without modification, place the script in a shared location and call it from either local or domain group policy.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The placement and configuration of the VDI onboarding startup script on the WVD golden image configures it as a startup script that runs when the WVD starts. It is _not_ recommended to onboard the actual WVD golden image. Another consideration is the method used to run the script. It should run as early in the startup/provisioning process as possible to reduce the time between the machine being available to receive sessions and the device onboarding to the service. Below scenarios 1 & 2 take this into account.
+
+## Scenarios
+There are several ways to onboard a WVD host machine:
+
+- Run the script in the golden image (or from a shared location) during startup.
+- Use a management tool to run the script.
+
+### Scenario 1: Using local group policy
+This scenario requires placing the script in a golden image and uses local group policy to run early in the boot process.
+
+Use the instructions in [Onboard non-persistent virtual desktop infrastructure VDI devices](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/configure-endpoints-vdi#onboard-non-persistent-virtual-desktop-infrastructure-vdi-devices-1).
+
+Follow the instructions for a single entry for each device.
+
+### Scenario 2: Using domain group policy
+This scenario uses a centrally located script and runs it using a domain-based group policy. You can also place the script in the golden image and run it in the same way.
+
+#### Download the WindowsDefenderATPOnboardingPackage.zip file from the Windows Defender Security Center
+
+1. Open the VDI configuration package .zip file (WindowsDefenderATPOnboardingPackage.zip).
+
+ 1. In the Microsoft Defender Security Center navigation pane, select **Settings** > **Onboarding**.
+ 1. Select Windows 10 as the operating system.
+ 1. In the **Deployment method** field, select VDI onboarding scripts for non-persistent endpoints.
+ 1. Click **Download package** and save the .zip file.
+
+2. Extract the contents of the .zip file to a shared, read-only location that can be accessed by the device. You should have a folder called **OptionalParamsPolicy** and the files **WindowsDefenderATPOnboardingScript.cmd** and **Onboard-NonPersistentMachine.ps1**.
+
+#### Use Group Policy management console to run the script when the virtual machine starts
+
+1. Open the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), right-click the Group Policy Object (GPO) you want to configure and click **Edit**.
+
+2. In the Group Policy Management Editor, go to **Computer configuration** > **Preferences** > **Control panel settings**.
+
+3. Right-click **Scheduled tasks**, click **New**, and then select **Immediate Task** (At least Windows 7).
+
+4. In the Task window that opens, go to the **General** tab. Under **Security options** click **Change User or Group** and type SYSTEM. Click **Check Names** and then click OK. `NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM` appears as the user account under which the task will run.
+
+5. Select **Run whether user is logged on or not** and select the **Run with highest privileges** option.
+
+6. Go to the **Actions** tab and select **New**. Confirm that **Start a program** is selected in the **Action** field.
+
+7. Specify the following:
+

+
+### Scenario 3: Onboarding using management tools
+
+> [!TIP]
+> After onboarding the device, you can choose to run a detection test to verify that the device is properly onboarded to the service. For more information, see [Run a detection test on a newly onboarded Microsoft Defender for Endpoint device](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/run-detection-test).
+
+If you plan to manage your machines using a management tool, you can onboard devices with Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. For more information, see: [Onboard Windows 10 devices using Configuration Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/configure-endpoints-sccm)
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> If you plan to use [Attack Surface reduction Rules](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/attack-surface-reduction), the rule “[Block process creations originating from PSExec and WMI commands](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/attack-surface-reduction#block-process-creations-originating-from-psexec-and-wmi-commands)" should not be used as it is incompatible with management through Microsoft Endpoint Manager because this rule blocks WMI commands the Configuration Manager client uses to function correctly.
+
+## Tagging your machines when building your image
+
+As part of your onboarding, you may want to consider setting a machine tag to be able to differentiate WVD machines more easily in the Microsoft Security Center. For more information, see
+[Add device tags by setting a registry key value](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/machine-tags#add-device-tags-by-setting-a-registry-key-value).
+
+## Other recommended configuration settings
+
+When building your image, you may want to configure initial protection settings as well. For more information, see [Other recommended configuration settings](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/configure-endpoints-gp#other-recommended-configuration-settings).
+
+In addition, if you are using FSlogix user profiles, we recommend you exclude the following files from always-on protection:
+
+### Exclude Files
+
+> %ProgramFiles%\FSLogix\Apps\frxdrv.sys
+> %ProgramFiles%\FSLogix\Apps\frxdrvvt.sys
+> %ProgramFiles%\FSLogix\Apps\frxccd.sys

+> %ProgramFiles%\FSLogix\Apps\frxccds.exe
+> %ProgramFiles%\FSLogix\Apps\frxsvc.exe

-- Using various management tools to onboard devices
- - [Onboarding using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager](onboarding-endpoint-configuration-manager.md)
- - [Onboarding using Microsoft Endpoint Manager](onboarding-endpoint-manager.md)
+
+After identifying your architecture, you'll need to decide which deployment method to use. The deployment tool you choose influences how you onboard endpoints to the service.
+
+### Onboarding tool options
+
+The following table lists the available tools based on the endpoint that you need to onboard.
+
+| Endpoint | Tool options |
+|--------------|------------------------------------------|
+| **Windows** | [Local script (up to 10 devices)](configure-endpoints-script.md) [Group Policy](configure-endpoints-gp.md) [Microsoft Endpoint Manager/ Mobile Device Manager](configure-endpoints-mdm.md) [Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager](configure-endpoints-sccm.md) [VDI scripts](configure-endpoints-vdi.md) |
+| **macOS** | [Local scripts](mac-install-manually.md) [Microsoft Endpoint Manager](mac-install-with-intune.md) [JAMF Pro](mac-install-with-jamf.md) [Mobile Device Management](mac-install-with-other-mdm.md) |
+| **Linux Server** | [Local script](linux-install-manually.md) [Puppet](linux-install-with-puppet.md) [Ansible](linux-install-with-ansible.md)|
+| **iOS** | [App-based](ios-install.md) |
+| **Android** | [Microsoft Endpoint Manager](android-intune.md) |
+
+
+## Step 2: Configure capabilities
+After onboarding the endpoints, you'll then configure the various capabilities such as endpoint detection and response, next-generation protection, and attack surface reduction.
+
+
+## Example deployments
+In this deployment guide, we'll guide you through using two deployment tools to onboard endpoints and how to configure capabilities.
+
+The tools in the example deployments are:
+- [Onboarding using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager](onboarding-endpoint-configuration-manager.md)

-Microsoft Defender ATP endpoint detection and response capabilities provide advanced attack detections that are near real-time and actionable. Security analysts can prioritize alerts effectively, gain visibility into the full scope of a breach, and take response actions to remediate threats.
+Defender for Endpoint endpoint detection and response capabilities provide advanced attack detections that are near real-time and actionable. Security analysts can prioritize alerts effectively, gain visibility into the full scope of a breach, and take response actions to remediate threats.
When a threat is detected, alerts are created in the system for an analyst to investigate. Alerts with the same attack techniques or attributed to the same attacker are aggregated into an entity called an _incident_. Aggregating alerts in this manner makes it easy for analysts to collectively investigate and respond to threats.
>[!VIDEO https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/videoplayer/embed/RE4o1j5]
-Inspired by the "assume breach" mindset, Microsoft Defender ATP continuously collects behavioral cyber telemetry. This includes process information, network activities, deep optics into the kernel and memory manager, user login activities, registry and file system changes, and others. The information is stored for six months, enabling an analyst to travel back in time to the start of an attack. The analyst can then pivot in various views and approach an investigation through multiple vectors.

+Selecting an alert's name in Defender for Endpoint will land you on its alert page. On the alert page, all the information will be shown in context of the selected alert. Each alert page consists of 4 sections:
1. **The alert title** shows the alert's name and is there to remind you which alert started your current investigation regardless of what you have selected on the page.
2. [**Affected assets**](#review-affected-assets) lists cards of devices and users affected by this alert that are clickable for further information and actions.
-3. [**The alert story**](#investigate-using-the-alert-story) displays all entities related to the alert, interconnected by a tree view. The alert in the title will be the one in focus when you first land on your selected alert's page. Entities in the alert story are expandable and clickable, to provide additional information and expedite response by allowing you to take actions right in the context of the alert page.
-4. [**The details pane**](#take-action-from-the-details-pane) will show the details of the selected alert at first, with details and actions related to this alert. If you click on any of the affected assets or entities in the alert story, the details pane will change to provide contextual information and actions for the selected object.
+3. The **alert story** displays all entities related to the alert, interconnected by a tree view. The alert in the title will be the one in focus when you first land on your selected alert's page. Entities in the alert story are expandable and clickable, to provide additional information and expedite response by allowing you to take actions right in the context of the alert page. Use the alert story to start your investigation. Learn how in [Investigate alerts in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-atp/investigate-alerts).
+4. The **details pane** will show the details of the selected alert at first, with details and actions related to this alert. If you select any of the affected assets or entities in the alert story, the details pane will change to provide contextual information and actions for the selected object.
-
+Note the detection status for your alert.
+- Prevented – The attempted suspicious action was avoided. For example, a file either wasn’t written to disk or executed.
+
+- Blocked – Suspicious behavior was executed and then blocked. For example, a process was executed but because it subsequently exhibited suspicious behaviors, the process was terminated.
+
+- Detected – An attack was detected and is possibly still active.
+
-Note the detection status for your alert. Blocked, prevented, or remediated means actions were already taken by Microsoft Defender ATP.
-Start by reviewing the *automated investigation details* in your alert's [details pane](#take-action-from-the-details-pane), to see which actions were already taken, as well as reading the alert's description for recommended actions.
+
+
+
+You can then also review the *automated investigation details* in your alert's details pane, to see which actions were already taken, as well as reading the alert's description for recommended actions.

Other information available in the details pane when the alert opens includes MITRE techniques, source, and additional contextual details.
+
+
+
## Review affected assets
-Clicking on a device or a user card in the affected assets sections will switch to the details of the device or user in the details pane.
+Selecting a device or a user card in the affected assets sections will switch to the details of the device or user in the details pane.
-- **For devices** the details pane will display information about the device itself, like Domain, Operating System, and IP. Active alerts and the logged on users on that device are also available. 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.

-## Investigate using the alert story
+- **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 select *Open user page* to continue the investigation from that user's point of view.
-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.
-
-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.
-
-
-
-> [!TIP]
-> If you're experiencing any issues not described above, use the 🙂 button to provide feedback or open a support ticket.
-
-## Transitioning to the new alert page
-
-When making the move to the new alert page you will notice that we have centralized information from the alert process tree, the incident graph, and the artifact timeline into the [alert story](#investigate-using-the-alert-story), with some information available through the [affected assets](#review-affected-assets) section. Any additional information has been consolidated into the details pane for the relevant entities.

The [DisableAntiSpyware](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/customize/desktop/unattend/security-malware-windows-defender-disableantispyware) registry key was used in the past to disable Microsoft Defender Antivirus, and deploy another antivirus product, such as McAfee. In general, you should not have this registry key on your Windows devices and endpoints; however, if you do have `DisableAntiSpyware` configured, here's how to set its value to false:
1. On your Windows Server device, open Registry Editor.

### Set Microsoft Defender Antivirus to passive mode on Windows Server
Because your organization is still using your existing endpoint protection solution, you must set Microsoft Defender Antivirus to passive mode. That way, your existing solution and Microsoft Defender Antivirus can run side by side until you have finished onboarding to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
1. Open Registry Editor, and then navigate to

+# Techniques in the device timeline
+
+
+**Applies to:**
+- [Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2154037)
+
+
+You can gain more insight in an investigation by analyzing the events that happened on a specific device. First, select the device of interest from the [Devices list](machines-view-overview.md). On the device page, you can select the **Timeline** tab to view all the events that occurred on the device.
+
+## Understand techniques in the timeline
+
+>[!IMPORTANT]
+>Some information relates to a prereleased product feature in public preview which may be substantially modified before it's commercially released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
+
+In Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, **Techniques** are an additional data type in the event timeline. Techniques provide more insight on activities associated with [MITRE ATT&CK](https://attack.mitre.org/) techniques or sub-techniques.
+
+This feature simplifies the investigation experience by helping analysts understand the activities that were observed on a device. Analysts can then decide to investigate further.
+
+For public preview, Techniques are available by default and shown together with events when a device's timeline is viewed.
+
+
+
+Techniques are highlighted in bold text and appear with a blue icon on the left. The corresponding MITRE ATT&CK ID and technique name also appear as tags under Additional information.
+
+Search and Export options are also available for Techniques.
+
+## Investigate using the side pane
+
+Select a Technique to open its corresponding side pane. Here you can see additional information and insights like related ATT&CK techniques, tactics, and descriptions.
+
+Select the specific *Attack technique* to open the related ATT&CK technique page where you can find more information about it.
+
+You can copy an entity's details when you see a blue icon on the right. For instance, to copy a related file's SHA1, select the blue page icon.
+
+
+
+You can do the same for command lines.
+
+
+
+
+## Investigate related events
+
+To use [advanced hunting](advanced-hunting-overview.md) to find events related to the selected Technique, select **Hunt for related events**. This leads to the advanced hunting page with a query to find events related to the Technique.
+
+
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>Querying using the **Hunt for related events** button from a Technique side pane displays all the events related to the identified technique but does not include the Technique itself in the query results.
+
+
+## Customize your device timeline
+
+On the upper right-hand side of the device timeline, you can choose a date range to limit the number of events and techniques in the timeline.
+
+You can customize which columns to expose. You can also filter for flagged events by data type or by event group.
+
+### Choose columns to expose
+You can choose which columns to expose in the timeline by selecting the **Choose columns** button.
+
+
+
+From there you can select which information set to include.
+
+### Filter to view techniques or events only
+
+To view only either events or techniques, select **Filters** from the device timeline and choose your preferred Data type to view.

+_Analyst report section of a threat analytics report_
+
+## Scan the analyst report
+Each section of the analyst report is designed to provide actionable information. While reports vary, most reports include the sections described in the following table.
+
+| Report section | Description |
+|--|--|
+| Executive summary | Overview of the threat, including when it was first seen, its motivations, notable events, major targets, and distinct tools and techniques. You can use this information to further assess how to prioritize the threat in the context of your industry, geographic location, and network. |
+| Analysis | Technical information about the threats, including the details of an attack and how attackers might utilize a new technique or attack surface |
+| MITRE ATT&CK techniques observed | How observed techniques map to the [MITRE ATT&CK attack framework](https://attack.mitre.org/) |
+| [Mitigations](#apply-additional-mitigations) | Recommendations that can stop or help reduce the impact of the threat. This section also includes mitigations that aren't tracked dynamically as part of the threat analytics report. |
+| [Detection details](#understand-how-each-threat-can-be-detected) | Specific and generic detections provided by Microsoft security solutions that can surface activity or components associated with the threat. |
+| [Advanced hunting](#find-subtle-threat-artifacts-using-advanced-hunting) | [Advanced hunting queries](advanced-hunting-overview.md) for proactively identifying possible threat activity. Most queries are provided to supplement detections, especially for locating potentially malicious components or behaviors that couldn't be dynamically assessed to be malicious. |
+| References | Microsoft and third-party publications referenced by analysts during the creation of the report. Threat analytics content is based on data validated by Microsoft researchers. Information from publicly available, third-party sources are identified clearly as such. |
+| Change log | The time the report was published and when significant changes were made to the report. |
+
+## Apply additional mitigations
+Threat analytics dynamically tracks the [status of security updates and secure configurations](threat-analytics.md#mitigations-review-list-of-mitigations-and-the-status-of-your-devices). This information is available as charts and tables in the **Mitigations** tab.
+
+In addition to these tracked mitigations, the analyst report also discusses mitigations that are _not_ dynamically monitored. Here are some examples of important mitigations that are not dynamically tracked:
+
+- Block emails with _.lnk_ attachments or other suspicious file types
+- Randomize local administrator passwords
+- Educate end users about phishing email and other threat vectors
+- Turn on specific [attack surface reduction rules](attack-surface-reduction.md)
+
+While you can use the **Mitigations** tab to assess your security posture against a threat, these recommendations let you take additional steps towards improving your security posture. Carefully read all the mitigation guidance in the analyst report and apply them whenever possible.
+
+## Understand how each threat can be detected
+The analyst report also provides the detections from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint antivirus and _endpoint detection and response_ (EDR) capabilities.
+
+### Antivirus detections
+These detections are available on devices with [Microsoft Defender Antivirus](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/microsoft-defender-antivirus/microsoft-defender-antivirus-in-windows-10) turned on. When these detections occur on devices that have been onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, they also trigger alerts that light up the charts in the report.
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>The analyst report also lists **generic detections** that can identify a wide-range of threats, in addition to components or behaviors specific to the tracked threat. These generic detections don't reflect in the charts.
+
+### Endpoint detection and response (EDR) alerts
+EDR alerts are raised for [devices onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](onboard-configure.md). These alerts generally rely on security signals collected by the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint sensor and other endpoint capabilities—such as antivirus, network protection, tamper protection—that serve as powerful signal sources.
+
+Like the list of antivirus detections, some EDR alerts are designed to generically flag suspicious behavior that might not be associated with the tracked threat. In such cases, the report will clearly identify the alert as "generic" and that it doesn't influence any of the charts in the report.
+
+## Find subtle threat artifacts using advanced hunting
+While detections allow you to identify and stop the tracked threat automatically, many attack activities leave subtle traces that require additional inspection. Some attack activities exhibit behaviors that can also be normal, so detecting them dynamically can result in operational noise or even false positives.
+
+[Advanced hunting](advanced-hunting-overview.md) provides a query interface based on Kusto Query Language that simplifies locating subtle indicators of threat activity. It also allows you to surface contextual information and verify whether indicators are connected to a threat.
+
+Advanced hunting queries in the analyst reports have been vetted by Microsoft analysts and are ready for you to run in the [advanced hunting query editor](https://securitycenter.windows.com/advanced-hunting). You can also use the queries to create [custom detection rules](custom-detection-rules.md) that trigger alerts for future matches.

Event timeline is a risk news feed that helps you interpret how risk is introduced into the organization through new vulnerabilities or exploits. You can view events that may impact your organization's risk. For example, you can find new vulnerabilities that were introduced, vulnerabilities that became exploitable, exploit that was added to an exploit kit, and more.
Event timeline also tells the story of your [exposure score](tvm-exposure-score.md) and [Microsoft Secure Score for Devices](tvm-microsoft-secure-score-devices.md) so you can determine the cause of large changes. Events can impact your devices or your score for devices.

Advanced cybersecurity attacks comprise of multiple complex malicious events, attributes, and contextual information. Identifying and deciding which of these activities qualify as suspicious can be a challenging task. Your knowledge of known attributes and abnormal activities specific to your industry is fundamental in knowing when to call an observed behavior as suspicious.

IOCs are individually-known malicious events that indicate that a network or device has already been breached. Unlike alert definitions, these indicators are considered as evidence of a breach.

End-of-support (EOS), otherwise known as end-of-life (EOL), for software or software versions means that they will no longer be supported or serviced, and will not receive security updates. When you use software or software versions with ended support, you're exposing your organization to security vulnerabilities, legal, and financial risks.

-Sometimes, you may not be able to take the remediation steps suggested by a security recommendation. If that is the case, threat and vulnerability management gives you an avenue to create an exception.
+>Want to experience Microsoft Defender for Endpoint? [Sign up for a free trial.](https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/windows/microsoft-defender-atp?ocid=docs-wdatp-portaloverview-abovefoldlink)
-When an exception is created for a recommendation, the recommendation is no longer active. The recommendation state changes to **Exception**, and no longer shows up in the security recommendations list.
+As an alternative to a remediation request when a recommendation is not relevant at the moment, you can create exceptions for recommendations. If your organization has device groups, you will be able to scope the exception to specific device groups. Exceptions can either be created for selected device groups, or for all device groups past and present.
+
+When an exception is created for a recommendation, the recommendation will not be active until the end of the exception duration. The recommendation state will change to **Full exception** or **Partial exception** (by device group).
+
+## Permissions
+
+Only users with “exceptions handling” permissions can manage exceptions (including creating or canceling). [Learn more about RBAC roles](user-roles.md).
+
+
## Create an exception
-1. Go to the threat and vulnerability management navigation menu in the Microsoft Defender Security Center, and select [**Security recommendations**](tvm-security-recommendation.md).
+Select a security recommendation you would like create an exception for, and then select **Exception options** and fill out the form.
-2. Select a security recommendation you would like to create an exception for, and then **Exception options**.
-
+
-3. Select your justification for the exception you need to file instead of remediating the security recommendation in question. Fill out the justification context, then set the exception duration.
+### Exception by device group
- The following list details the justifications behind the exception options:
+Apply the exception to all current device groups or choose specific device groups. Future device groups won't be included in the exception. Device groups that already have an exception will not be displayed in the list. If you only select certain device groups, the recommendation state will change from “active” to “partial exception.” The state will change to “full exception” if you select all the device groups.
- - **Third party control** - A third party product or software already addresses this recommendation
- - Choosing this justification type will lower your exposure score and increase you secure score because your risk is reduced
- - **Alternate mitigation** - An internal tool already addresses this recommendation
- - Choosing this justification type will lower your exposure score and increase you secure score because your risk is reduced
- - **Risk accepted** - Poses low risk and/or implementing the recommendation is too expensive
- - **Planned remediation (grace)** - Already planned but is awaiting execution or authorization
+
-4. Select **Submit**. A confirmation message at the top of the page indicates that the exception has been created.
+#### Filtered views
-## View your exceptions
+If you have filtered by device group on any of the threat and vulnerability management pages, only your filtered device groups will appear as options.
-When you file for an exception from the security recommendations page, you create an exception for that security recommendation. You can file exceptions to exclude certain recommendation from showing up in reports and affecting your [Microsoft Secure Score for Devices](tvm-microsoft-secure-score-devices.md).
+This is the button to filter by device group on any of the threat and vulnerability management pages:
-The exceptions you've filed will show up in the **Remediation** page, in the **Exceptions** tab. You can filter your view based on exception justification, type, and status.
+
-
+Exception view with filtered device groups:
-### Exception actions and statuses
+
-Once an exception exists, you can cancel it at any time by going to the exception in the **Remediation** page and selecting **Cancel exception**.
+#### Large number of device groups
-The following statuses will be a part of an exception:
+If your organization has more than 20 device groups, select **Edit** next to the filtered device group option.
-- **Canceled** - The exception has been canceled and is no longer in effect
-- **Expired** - The exception that you've filed is no longer in effect
-- **In effect** - The exception that you've filed is in progress
+
-### Exception impact on scores
+A flyout will appear where you can search and choose device groups you want included. Select the check mark icon below Search to check/uncheck all.
-Creating an exception can potentially affect the Exposure Score (for both types of weaknesses) and Microsoft Secure Score for Devices of your organization in the following manner:
+
-- **No impact** - Removes the recommendation from the lists (which can be reverse through filters), but will not affect the scores.
-- **Mitigation-like impact** - As if the recommendation was mitigated (and scores will be adjusted accordingly) when you select it as a compensating control.
-- **Hybrid** - Provides visibility on both No impact and Mitigation-like impact. It shows both the Exposure Score and Microsoft Secure Score for Devices results out of the exception option that you made.
+### Global exceptions
-The exception impact shows on both the Security recommendations page column and in the flyout pane.
+If you have global administrator permissions (called Microsoft Defender ATP administrator), you will be able to create and cancel a global exception. It affects **all** current and future device groups in your organization, and only a user with similar permission would be able to change it. The recommendation state will change from “active” to “full exception.”
-
+
-### View exceptions in other places
+Some things to keep in mind:
-Select **Show exceptions** at the bottom of the **Top security recommendations** card in the dashboard. It will open a filtered view in the **Security recommendations** page of recommendations with an "Exception" status.
+- If a recommendation is under global exception, then newly created exceptions for device groups will be suspended until the global exception has expired or been cancelled. After that point, the new device group exceptions will go into effect until they expire.
+- If a recommendation already has exceptions for specific device groups and a global exception is created, then the device group exception will be suspended until it expires or the global exception is cancelled before it expires.
-
+### Justification
+
+Select your justification for the exception you need to file instead of remediating the security recommendation in question. Fill out the justification context, then set the exception duration.
+
+The following list details the justifications behind the exception options:
+
+- **Third party control** - A third party product or software already addresses this recommendation
+ - Choosing this justification type will lower your exposure score and increase your secure score because your risk is reduced
+- **Alternate mitigation** - An internal tool already addresses this recommendation
+ - Choosing this justification type will lower your exposure score and increase your secure score because your risk is reduced
+- **Risk accepted** - Poses low risk and/or implementing the recommendation is too expensive
+- **Planned remediation (grace)** - Already planned but is awaiting execution or authorization
+
+## View all exceptions
+
+Navigate to the **Exceptions** tab in the **Remediation** page. You can filter by justification, type, and status.
+
+ Select an exception to open a flyout with more details. Exceptions per devices group will have a list of every device group the exception covers, which you can export. You can also view the related recommendation or cancel the exception.
+
+
+
+## How to cancel an exception
+
+To cancel an exception, navigate to the **Exceptions** tab in the **Remediation** page. Select the exception.
+
+To cancel the exception for all device groups or for a global exception, select the **Cancel exception for all device groups** button. You will only be able to cancel exceptions for device groups you have permissions for.
+
+
+
+### Cancel the exception for a specific device group
+
+Select the specific device group to cancel the exception for it. A flyout will appear for the device group, and you can select **Cancel exception**.
+
+
+
+## View impact after exceptions are applied
+
+In the Security Recommendations page, select **Customize columns** and check the boxes for **Exposed devices (after exceptions)** and **Impact (after exceptions)**.
+
+
+
+The exposed devices (after exceptions) column shows the remaining devices that are still exposed to vulnerabilities after exceptions are applied. Exception justifications that affect the exposure include ‘third party control’ and ‘alternate mitigation’. Other justifications do not reduce the exposure of a device, and they are still considered exposed.
+
+The impact (after exceptions) shows remaining impact to exposure score or secure score after exceptions are applied. Exception justifications that affect the scores include ‘third party control’ and ‘alternate mitigation.’ Other justifications do not reduce the exposure of a device, and so the exposure score and secure score do not change.

## How it works
-Threat and vulnerability management introduces a new exposure score metric, which visually represents how exposed your devices are to imminent threats.
-
-The exposure score is continuously calculated on each device in the organization. It is influenced by the following factors:
-
-- Weaknesses, such as vulnerabilities discovered on the device
-- External and internal threats such as public exploit code and security alerts
-- Likelihood of the device to get breached given its current security posture
-- Value of the device to the organization given its role and content
-
The exposure score is broken down into the following levels:
- 0–29: low exposure score

Cybersecurity weaknesses identified in your organization are mapped to actionable security recommendations and prioritized by their impact. Prioritized recommendations help shorten the time to mitigate or remediate vulnerabilities and drive compliance.
Each security recommendation includes actionable remediation steps. To help with task management, the recommendation can also be sent using Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. When the threat landscape changes, the recommendation also changes as it continuously collects information from your environment.

+
+A zero-day vulnerability is a publicly disclosed vulnerability for which no official patches or security updates have been released. Zero-day vulnerabilities often have high severity levels and are actively exploited.
+
+Threat and vulnerability management will only display zero-day vulnerabilities it has information about.
+
+## Find information about zero-day vulnerabilities
+
+Once a zero-day vulnerability has been found, information about it will be conveyed through the following experiences in the Microsoft Defender Security Center.
+
+### Threat and vulnerability management dashboard
+
+Look for recommendations with a zero-day tag in the “Top security recommendations” card.
+
+
+
+Find top software with the zero-day tag in the "Top vulnerable software" card.
+
+
+
+### Weaknesses page
+
+Look for the named zero-day vulnerability along with a description and details.
+
+- If this vulnerability has a CVE-ID assigned, you’ll see the zero-day label next to the CVE name.
+
+- If this vulnerability has no CVE-ID assigned, you'll find it under an internal, temporary name that looks like “TVM-XXXX-XXXX”. The name will be updated once an official CVE-ID has been assigned, but the previous internal name will still be searchable and found in the side-panel.
+
+
+
+### Software inventory page
+
+Look for software with the zero-day tag. Filter by the "zero day" tag to only see software with zero-day vulnerabilities.
+
+
+
+### Software page
+
+Look for a zero-day tag for each software that has been affected by the zero–day vulnerability.
+
+
+
+### Security recommendations page
+
+View clear suggestions about remediation and mitigation options, including workarounds if they exist. Filter by the "zero day" tag to only see security recommendations addressing zero-day vulnerabilities.
+
+If there's software with a zero-day vulnerability and additional vulnerabilities to address, you'll get one recommendation about all vulnerabilities.
+
+
+
+## Addressing zero-day vulnerabilities
+
+Go to the security recommendation page and select a recommendation with a zero-day. A flyout will open with information about the zero-day and other vulnerabilities for that software.
+
+There will be a link to mitigation options and workarounds if they are available. Workarounds may help reduce the risk posed by this zero-day vulnerability until a patch or security update can be deployed.
+
+Open remediation options and choose the attention type. An "attention required" remediation option is recommended for the zero-day vulnerabilities, since an update hasn't been released yet. You won't be able to select a due date, since there's no specific action to perform. If there are older vulnerabilities for this software you wish to remediation, you can override the "attention required" remediation option and choose “update.”
+
+
+
+## Track zero-day remediation activities
+
+Go to the threat and vulnerability management [Remediation](tvm-remediation.md) page to view the remediation activity item. If you chose the "attention required" remediation option, there will be no progress bar, ticket status, or due date since there's no actual action we can monitor. You can filter by remediation type, such as "software update" or "attention required," to see all activity items in the same category.
+
+## Patching zero-day vulnerabilities
+
+When a patch is released for the zero-day, the recommendation will be changed to “Update” and a blue label next to it that says “New security update for zero day.” It will no longer consider as a zero-day, the zero-day tag will be removed from all pages.

-Web content filtering is part of [Web protection](web-protection-overview.md) capabilities in Microsoft Defender ATP. It enables your organization to track and regulate access to websites based on their content categories. Many of these websites, while not malicious, might be problematic because of compliance regulations, bandwidth usage, or other concerns.
+Web content filtering is part of [Web protection](web-protection-overview.md) capabilities in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. It enables your organization to track and regulate access to websites based on their content categories. Many of these websites, while not malicious, might be problematic because of compliance regulations, bandwidth usage, or other concerns.
Configure policies across your device groups to block certain categories. Blocking a category prevents users within specified device groups from accessing URLs associated with the category. For any category that's not blocked, the URLs are automatically audited. Your users can access the URLs without disruption, and you'll gather access statistics to help create a more custom policy decision. Your users will see a block notification if an element on the page they're viewing is making calls to a blocked resource.
-Web content filtering is available on the major web browsers, with blocks performed by Windows Defender SmartScreen (Microsoft Edge) and Network Protection (Chrome and Firefox). For more information about browser support, see the prerequisites section.

+Microsoft Defender SmartScreen provide an early warning system against websites that might engage in phishing attacks or attempt to distribute malware through a socially engineered attack. The primary benefits are:
- **Anti-phishing and anti-malware support.** Microsoft Defender SmartScreen helps to protect users from sites that are reported to host phishing attacks or attempt to distribute malicious software. It can also help protect against deceptive advertisements, scam sites, and drive-by attacks. Drive-by attacks are web-based attacks that tend to start on a trusted site, targeting security vulnerabilities in commonly used software. Because drive-by attacks can happen even if the user does not click or download anything on the page, the danger often goes unnoticed. For more info about drive-by attacks, see [Evolving Microsoft Defender SmartScreen to protect you from drive-by attacks](https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2015/12/16/SmartScreen-drive-by-improvements/#3B7Bb8bzeAPq8hXE.97)
- **Reputation-based URL and app protection.** Microsoft Defender SmartScreen evaluates a website's URLs to determine if they're known to distribute or host unsafe content. It also provides reputation checks for apps, checking downloaded programs and the digital signature used to sign a file. If a URL, a file, an app, or a certificate has an established reputation, users won't see any warnings. If, however, there's no reputation, the item is marked as a higher risk and presents a warning to the user.

# Interactive logon: Require smart card - security policy setting
@@ -31,7 +32,7 @@ Describes the best practices, location, values, policy management, and security
The **Interactive logon: Require smart card** policy setting requires users to log on to a device by using a smart card.
-Requiring users to use long, complex passwords for authentication enhances network security, especially if the users must change their passwords regularly. This reduces the chance that a malicious user will be able to guess a user's password through a brute-force attack. Using smart cards rather than passwords for authentication dramatically increases security because, with today's technology, it is nearly impossible for a malicious user to impersonate another user. Smart cards that require personal identification numbers (PINs) provide two-factor authentication: the user who attempts to log on must possess the smart card and know its PIN. A malicious user who captures the authentication traffic between the user's device and the domain controller will find it extremely difficult to decrypt the traffic: even if they do, the next time the user logs on to the network, a new session key will be generated for encrypting traffic between the user and the domain controller.

### Potential impact
-If you configure the **Log on as a batch job** setting by using domain-based Group Policy settings, the computer cannot assign the user right to accounts that are used for scheduled jobs in the Task Scheduler. If you install optional components such as ASP.NET or IIS, you may need to assign this user right to additional accounts that are required by those components. For example, IIS requires assignment of this user right to the IIS\_WPG group and the IUSR\_*<ComputerName>*, ASPNET, and IWAM\_*<ComputerName>* accounts. If this user right is not assigned to this group and these accounts, IIS cannot run some COM objects that are necessary for proper functionality.

+Setting the number of days to 0 allows immediate password changes. This setting is not recommended.
Combining immediate password changes with password history allows someone to change a password repeatedly until the password history requirement is met and re-establish the original password again.
For example, suppose a password is "Ra1ny day!" and the history requirement is 24.

Users may have favorite passwords that they like to use because they are easy to remember and they believe that their password choice is secure from compromise. Unfortunately, passwords can be compromised and if an attacker is targeting a specific individual user account, with knowledge of data about that user, reuse of old passwords can cause a security breach.
-To address password reuse, you must use a combination of security settings. Using this policy setting with the [Enforce password history](enforce-password-history.md) policy setting prevents the easy reuse of old passwords. For example, if you configure the Enforce password history policy setting to ensure that users cannot reuse any of their last 12 passwords, but you do not configure the **Minimum password age** policy setting to a number that is greater than 0, users could change their password 13 times in a few minutes and reuse their original password.

For example, if you configure the Enforce password history policy setting to ensure that users cannot reuse any of their last 12 passwords, but you do not configure the **Minimum password age** policy setting to a number that is greater than 0, users could change their password 13 times in a few minutes and reuse their original password. Configure this policy setting to a number that is greater than 0 for the Enforce password history policy setting to be effective.

### Best practices
-Set Minimum password length to at least a value of 8. If the number of characters is set to 0, no password is required. In most environments, an eight-character password is recommended because it is long enough to provide adequate security and still short enough for users to easily remember. A minimum password length greater than 14 is not supported at this time. This value will help provide adequate defense against a brute force attack. Adding complexity requirements will help reduce the possibility of a dictionary attack. For more info, see [Password must meet complexity requirements](password-must-meet-complexity-requirements.md).

Requiring very long passwords can result in mistyped passwords that might cause account lockouts and might increase the volume of Help Desk calls.
In addition, requiring extremely long passwords can actually decrease the security of an organization because users might be more likely to write down their passwords to avoid forgetting them. However, if users are taught that they can use passphrases (sentences such as "I want to drink a $5 milkshake"), they should be much more likely to remember.

### Potential impact
-Requirements for extremely long passwords can actually decrease the security of an organization because users might leave the information in an unsecured location or lose it. If very long passwords are required, mistyped passwords could cause account lockouts and increase the volume of Help Desk calls. If your organization has issues with forgotten passwords due to password length requirements, consider teaching your users about passphrases, which are often easier to remember and, due to the larger number of character combinations, much harder to discover.

+If you don't select any of the encryption types, computers running Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 and Windows 10, might have Kerberos authentication failures when connecting with computers running non-Windows versions of the Kerberos protocol.
If you do select any encryption type, you will lower the effectiveness of encryption for Kerberos authentication but you will improve interoperability with computers running older versions of Windows.
Contemporary non-Windows implementations of the Kerberos protocol support RC4 and AES 128-bit and AES 256-bit encryption. Most implementations, including the MIT Kerberos protocol and the Windows Kerberos protocol, are deprecating DES encryption.

- The samAccountName is checked in its entirety only to determine whether it is part of the password. If the samAccountName is less than three characters long, this check is skipped.
- The displayName is parsed for delimiters: commas, periods, dashes or hyphens, underscores, spaces, pound signs, and tabs. If any of these delimiters are found, the displayName is split and all parsed sections (tokens) are confirmed to not be included in the password. Tokens that are less than three characters are ignored, and substrings of the tokens are not checked. For example, the name "Erin M. Hagens" is split into three tokens: "Erin", "M", and "Hagens". Because the second token is only one character long, it is ignored. Therefore, this user could not have a password that included either "erin" or "hagens" as a substring anywhere in the password.

In many operating systems, the most common method to authenticate a user's identity is to use a secret passphrase or password. A secure network environment requires all users to use strong passwords, which have at least eight characters and include a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. These passwords help prevent the compromise of user accounts and administrative accounts by unauthorized users who use manual methods or automated tools to guess weak passwords. Strong passwords that are changed regularly reduce the likelihood of a successful password attack.
-Introduced in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008, Windows supports fine-grained password policies.

Fine-grained password policies apply only to user objects (or inetOrgPerson objects if they are used instead of user objects) and global security groups.

To apply a fine-grained password policy to users of an OU, you can use a shadow group. A shadow group is a global security group that is logically mapped to an OU to enforce a fine-grained password policy. You add users of the OU as members of the newly created shadow group and then apply the fine-grained password policy to this shadow group. You can create additional shadow groups for other OUs as needed. If you move a user from one OU to another, you must update the membership of the corresponding shadow groups.

-A disadvantage to setting this too high is that users lock themselves out for an inconveniently long period if they exceed the account lockout threshold through logon errors. Users may make excessive Help Desk calls.

[Windows security baselines](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-security-baselines) recommend configuring the **Reset account lockout counter after** policy setting to 15, but as with other account lockeout settings, this value is more of a guideline than a rule or best practice because there is no "one size fits all."

**Background**
-User Interface Privilege Isolation (UIPI) implements restrictions in the Windows subsystem that prevent lower-privilege applications from sending messages or installing hooks in higher-privilege processes. Higher-privilege applications are permitted to send messages to lower-privilege processes. UIPI does not interfere with or change the behavior of messages between applications at the same privilege (or integrity) level.

Higher-privilege applications are permitted to send messages to lower-privilege processes. UIPI doesn't interfere with or change the behavior of messages between applications at the same privilege (or integrity) level.
-Microsoft UI Automation is the current model to support accessibility requirements in the Windows operating systems. Applications that are designed to support an accessible user experience control the behavior of other Windows applications on behalf of the user. When all applications on the automation client computer and server are running as a standard user (that is, at a medium integrity level), the UIPI restrictions do not interfere with the Microsoft UI automation model.

-If a user requests remote assistance from an administrator and the remote assistance session is established, elevation prompts appear on the interactive user's secure desktop and the administrator's remote session is paused. To avoid pausing the remote administrator’s session during elevation requests, the user can select the "Allow IT Expert to respond to User Account Control prompts" check box when setting up the remote assistance session. However, selecting this check box requires that the interactive user respond to an elevation prompt on the secure desktop. If the interactive user is a standard user, the user does not have the required credentials to allow elevation.

+There are three factors that limit the scalability of WEC servers. The general rule for a stable WEC server on commodity hardware is planning for a total of 3,000 events per second on average for all configured subscriptions.
- **Disk I/O**. The WEC server does not process or validate the received event, but rather buffers the received event and then logs it to a local event log file (EVTX file). The speed of logging to the EVTX file is limited by the disk write speed. Isolating the EVTX file to its own array or using high speed disks can increase the number of events per second that a single WEC server can receive.
- **Network Connections**. While a WEF source does not maintain a permanent, persistent connection to the WEC server, it does not immediately disconnect after sending its events. This means that the number of WEF sources that can simultaneously connect to the WEC server is limited to the open TCP ports available on the WEC server.

This method is very useful when creating rules from a reference computer, and when creating and evaluating AppLocker policies in a testing environment.

Using the **Audit only** enforcement method permits you to view the logs because it collects information about every process on the computers receiving the Group Policy Object (GPO). Therefore, you can see what the enforcement will be on the computers in a business group. AppLocker includes Windows PowerShell cmdlets that you can use to analyze the events from the event log and cmdlets to create rules. However, when you use Group Policy to deploy to several computers, a means to collect events in a central location is very important for manageability. Because AppLocker logs information about files that users or other processes start on a computer, you could miss creating some rules initially. Therefore, you should continue your evaluation until you can verify that all required applications that are allowed to run are accessed successfully.

+# Microsoft recommended driver block rules
+
+**Applies to:**
+
+- Windows 10
+- Windows Server 2016 and above
+
+Microsoft has strict requirements for code running in kernel. Consequently, malicious actors are turning to exploit vulnerabilities in legitimate and signed kernel drivers to run malware in kernel. One of the many strengths of the Windows platform is our strong collaboration with independent hardware vendors (IHVs) and OEMs. Microsoft works closely with our IHVs and security community to ensure the highest level of driver security for our customers and when vulnerabilities in drivers do arise, that they are patched and rolled out to the ecosystem in an expedited manner. Microsoft then adds the vulnerable versions of the drivers to our ecosystem block policy which is applied to the following sets of devices:
+
+- Hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI) enabled devices
+- Windows 10 in S mode (S mode) devices
+
+Microsoft recommends enabling [HVCI](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/device-guard/enable-virtualization-based-protection-of-code-integrity) or S mode to protect your devices against security threats. If this is not possible, Microsoft recommends blocking the following list of drivers by merging this policy with your existing Windows Defender Application Control policy. Blocking kernel drivers without sufficient testing can result in devices or software to malfunction, and in rare cases, blue screen. It is recommended to first validate this policy in [audit mode](audit-windows-defender-application-control-policies.md) and review the audit block events.
+
+> [!Note]
+> This application list will be updated with the latest vendor information as application vulnerabilities are resolved and new issues are discovered. It is recommended that this policy be first validated in audit mode before rolling the rules into enforcement mode.

Users with administrator privileges or malware running as an administrator user on the system may be able to circumvent the intent of WDAC when the Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph option is allowed by circumventing or corrupting the heuristics used to assign reputation to application executables. The Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph option uses the same heuristic tracking as managed installer and so for application installers that include an option to automatically run the application at the end of the installation process the heuristic may over-authorize.

+# Creating a new Base Policy with the Wizard
+
+**Applies to**
+- Windows 10
+- Windows Server 2016 and above
+
+When creating policies for use with Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC), it is recommended to start with a template policy and then add or remove rules to suit your application control scenario. For this reason, the WDAC Wizard offers three template policies to start from and customize during the base policy creation workflow. Prerequisite information about application control can be accessed through the [WDAC design guide](windows-defender-application-control-design-guide.md). This page outlines the steps to create a new application control policy from a template, configure the policy options, and the signer and file rules.
+
+
+## Template Base Policies
+
+Each of the template policies has a unique set of policy allow list rules that will affect the circle-of-trust and security model of the policy. The following table lists the policies in increasing order of trust and freedom. For instance, the Default Windows mode policy trusts fewer application publishers and signers than the Signed and Reputable mode policy. The Default Windows policy will have a smaller circle-of-trust with better security than the Signed and Reputable policy, but at the expense of compatibility.
+
+
+| Template Base Policy | Description |
+|---------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| **Default Windows Mode** | Default Windows mode will authorize the following components:
Windows operating components - any binary installed by a fresh install of Windows
Apps installed from the Microsoft Store
Microsoft Office365 apps, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams
*Files with good reputation per [Microsoft Defender's Intelligent Security Graph technology](use-windows-defender-application-control-with-intelligent-security-graph.md)*
|
+
+*Italicized content denotes the changes in the current policy with respect to the policy prior.*
+
+More information about the Default Windows Mode and Allow Microsoft Mode policies can be accessed through the [Example WDAC base policies article](example-wdac-base-policies.md).
+
+
+
+Once the base template is selected, give the policy a name and choose where to save the application control policy on disk.
+
+## Configuring Policy Rules
+
+Upon page launch, policy rules will be automatically enabled/disabled depending on the chosen template from the previous page. Choose to enable or disable the desired policy rule options by pressing the slider button next to the policy rule titles. A short description of each rule will appear at the bottom of the page when the mouse hovers over the rule title.
+
+### Policy Rules Description
+
+A description of each policy rule, beginning with the left-most column, is provided below. The [Policy rules article](select-types-of-rules-to-create.md#windows-defender-application-control-policy-rules) provides a full description of each policy rule.
+
+| Rule option | Description |
+|------------ | ----------- |
+| **Advanced Boot Options Menu** | The F8 preboot menu is disabled by default for all WDAC policies. Setting this rule option allows the F8 menu to appear to physically present users. |
+| **Allow Supplemental Policies** | Use this option on a base policy to allow supplemental policies to expand it. |
+| **Disable Script Enforcement** | This option disables script enforcement options. Unsigned PowerShell scripts and interactive PowerShell are no longer restricted to [Constrained Language Mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_language_modes). NOTE: This option is only supported with the Windows 10 May 2019 Update (1903) and higher. Using it on earlier versions of Windows 10 is not supported and may have unintended results. |
+|**[Hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/device-guard/enable-virtualization-based-protection-of-code-integrity)**| When enabled, policy enforcement uses virtualization-based security to run the code integrity service inside a secure environment. HVCI provides stronger protections against kernel malware.|
+| **Intelligent Security Graph Authorization** | Use this option to automatically allow applications with "known good" reputation as defined by Microsoft’s Intelligent Security Graph (ISG). |
+| **Managed Installer** | Use this option to automatically allow applications installed by a software distribution solution, such as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, that has been defined as a managed installer. |
+| **Require WHQL** | By default, legacy drivers that are not Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) signed are allowed to execute. Enabling this rule requires that every executed driver is WHQL signed and removes legacy driver support. Going forward, every new Windows 10–compatible driver must be WHQL certified. |
+| **Update Policy without Rebooting** | Use this option to allow future WDAC policy updates to apply without requiring a system reboot. |
+| **Unsigned System Integrity Policy** | Allows the policy to remain unsigned. When this option is removed, the policy must be signed and have UpdatePolicySigners added to the policy to enable future policy modifications. |
+| **User Mode Code Integrity** | WDAC policies restrict both kernel-mode and user-mode binaries. By default, only kernel-mode binaries are restricted. Enabling this rule option validates user mode executables and scripts. |
+
+> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
+> 
+
+### Advanced Policy Rules Description
+
+Selecting the **+ Advanced Options** label will show another column of policy rules; advanced policy rules. A description of each policy rule is provided below.
+
+| Rule option | Description |
+|------------ | ----------- |
+| **Boot Audit on Failure** | Used when the WDAC policy is in enforcement mode. When a driver fails during startup, the WDAC policy will be placed in audit mode so that Windows will load. Administrators can validate the reason for the failure in the CodeIntegrity event log. |
+| **Disable Flight Signing** | If enabled, WDAC policies will not trust flightroot-signed binaries. This would be used in the scenario in which organizations only want to run released binaries, not flight/preview-signed builds. |
+| **Disable Runtime FilePath Rule Protection** | Disable default FilePath rule protection (apps and executables allowed based on file path rules must come from a file path that’s only writable by an administrator) for any FileRule that allows a file based on FilePath. |
+| **Dynamic Code Security** | Enables policy enforcement for .NET applications and dynamically loaded libraries (DLLs). |
+| **Invalidate EAs on Reboot** | When the Intelligent Security Graph option (14) is used, WDAC sets an extended file attribute that indicates that the file was authorized to run. This option will cause WDAC to periodically revalidate the reputation for files that were authorized by the ISG.|
+| **Require EV Signers** | In addition to being WHQL signed, this rule requires that drivers must have been submitted by a partner that has an Extended Verification (EV) certificate. All Windows 10 and later drivers will meet this requirement. |
+
+
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> We recommend that you **enable Audit Mode** initially because it allows you to test new WDAC policies before you enforce them. With audit mode, no application is blocked—instead the policy logs an event whenever an application outside the policy is started. For this reason, all templates have Audit Mode enabled by default.
+
+## Creating custom file rules
+
+[File rules](select-types-of-rules-to-create.md#windows-defender-application-control-file-rule-levels) in an application control policy will specify the level at which applications will be identified and trusted. File rules are the main mechanism for defining trust in the application control policy. Selecting the **+ Custom Rules** will open the custom file rule conditions panel to create custom file rules for your policy. The Wizard supports four types of file rules:
+
+### Publisher Rules
+
+The Publisher file rule type uses properties in the code signing certificate chain to base file rules. Once the file to base the rule off of, called the *reference file*, is selected, use the slider to indicate the specificity of the rule. The table below shows the relationship between the slider placement, the corresponding WDAC rule level and its description. The lower the placement on the table and the UI slider, the greater the specificity of the rule.
+
+| Rule Condition | WDAC Rule Level | Description |
+|------------ | ----------- | ----------- |
+| **Issuing CA** | PCACertificate | Highest available certificate is added to the signers. This is typically the PCA certificate, one level below the root certificate. Any file signed by this certificate will be affected. |
+| **Publisher** | Publisher | This rule is a combination of the PCACertificate rule and the common name (CN) of the leaf certificate. Any file signed by a major CA but with a leaf from a specific company, for example a device driver corp, is affected. |
+| **File version** | SignedVersion | This rule is a combination of PCACertificate, publisher, and a version number. Anything from the specified publisher with a version at or above the one specified is affected. |
+| **File name** | FilePublisher | Most specific. Combination of the file name, publisher, and PCA certificate as well as a minimum version number. Files from the publisher with the specified name and greater or equal to the specified version are affected. |
+
+
+
+
+### Filepath Rules
+
+Filepath rules do not provide the same security guarantees that explicit signer rules do, as they are based on mutable access permissions. To create a filepath rule, select the file using the *Browse* button.
+
+### File Attribute Rules
+
+The Wizard supports the creation of [file name rules](select-types-of-rules-to-create.md#windows-defender-application-control-filename-rules) based on authenticated file attributes. File name rules are useful when an application and its dependencies (for example, DLLs) may all share the same product name, for instance. This rule level allows users to easily create targeted policies based on the Product Name file name parameter. To select the file attribute to create the rule, move the slider on the Wizard to the desired attribute. The table below describes each of the supported file attributes off which to create a rule.
+
+| Rule level | Description |
+|------------ | ----------- |
+| **Original Filename** | Specifies the original file name, or the name with which the file was first created, of the binary. |
+| **File description** | Specifies the file description provided by the developer of the binary. |
+| **Product name** | Specifies the name of the product with which the binary ships. |
+| **Internal name** | Specifies the internal name of the binary. |
+
+> [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]
+> 
+
+### File Hash Rules
+
+Lastly, the Wizard supports creating file rules using the hash of the file. Although this level is specific, it can cause additional administrative overhead to maintain the current product versions’ hash values. Each time a binary is updated, the hash value changes, therefore requiring a policy update. By default, the Wizard will use file hash as the fallback in case a file rule cannot be created using the specified file rule level.
+
+
+#### Deleting Signing Rules
+
+The policy signing rules list table on the left of the page will document the allow and deny rules in the template, as well as any custom rules you create. Template signing rules and custom rules can be deleted from the policy by selecting the rule from the rules list table. Once the rule is highlighted, press the delete button underneath the table. you will be prompted for additional confirmation. Select `Yes` to remove the rule from the policy and the rules table.

+# Creating a new Supplemental Policy with the Wizard
+
+**Applies to**
+- Windows 10
+- Windows Server 2016 and above
+
+Beginning in Windows 10 version 1903, WDAC supports the creation of multiple active policies on a device. One or more supplemental policies allow customers to expand a [WDAC base policy](wdac-wizard-create-base-policy.md) to increase the circle of trust of the policy. A supplemental policy can expand only one base policy, but multiple supplementals can expand the same base policy. When using supplemental policies, applications allowed by the base or its supplemental policy/policies will be allowed to execute.
+
+Prerequisite information about application control can be accessed through the [WDAC design guide](windows-defender-application-control-design-guide.md). This page outlines the steps to create a supplemental application control policy, configure the policy options, and the signer and file rules.
+
+## Expanding a Base Policy
+
+Once the Supplemental Policy type is chosen on the New Policy page, policy name and file dialog fields can be used to name and save the supplemental policy. The next step requires selecting a base policy to expand. To expand a base policy, the base must allow supplemental policies. The WDAC Wizard will verify if the base policy allows supplementals and will show the following confirmation.
+
+
+
+If the base policy is not configured for supplemental policies, the Wizard will attempt to convert the policy to one that can be supplemented. Once successful, the Wizard will show a dialog demonstrating that the addition of the Allow Supplemental Policy rule was completed.
+
+
+
+Policies that cannot be supplemented, for instance, a supplemental policy, will be detected by the Wizard and will show the following error. Only a base policy can be supplemented. More information on supplemental policies can be found on our [Multiple Policies article](deploy-multiple-windows-defender-application-control-policies.md).
+
+
+
+## Configuring Policy Rules
+
+Upon page launch, policy rules will be automatically enabled/disabled depending on the chosen base policy from the previous page. Most of the supplemental policy rules must be inherited from the base policy. The Wizard will automatically parse the base policy and set the required supplemental policy rules to match the base policy rules. Inherited policy rules will be grayed out and will not be modifiable in the user interface.
+
+A short description of the rule will be shown at the bottom of the page when the cursor is placed on the rule title.
+
+### Configurable Supplemental Policy Rules Description
+
+There are only three policy rules that can be configured by the supplemental policy. A description of each policy rule, beginning with the left-most column, is provided below. Selecting the **+ Advanced Options** label will show another column of policy rules; advanced policy rules.
+
+
+| Rule option | Description |
+|------------ | ----------- |
+| **Intelligent Security Graph Authorization** | Use this option to automatically allow applications with "known good" reputation as defined by Microsoft’s Intelligent Security Graph (ISG). |
+| **Managed Installer** | Use this option to automatically allow applications installed by a software distribution solution, such as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, that has been defined as a managed installer. |
+| **Disable Runtime FilePath Rule Protection** | Disable default FilePath rule protection (apps and executables allowed based on file path rules must come from a file path that’s only writable by an administrator) for any FileRule that allows a file based on FilePath. |
+
+
+
+## Creating custom file rules
+
+File rules in an application control policy will specify the level at which applications will be identified and trusted. File rules are the main mechanism for defining trust in the application control policy. Selecting the **+ Custom Rules** will open the custom file rule conditions panel to create and customize targeted file rules for your policy. The Wizard supports four types of file rules:
+
+### Publisher Rules
+
+The Publisher file rule type uses properties in the code signing certificate chain to base file rules. Once the file to base the rule off of, called the *reference file*, is selected, use the slider to indicate the specificity of the rule. The table below shows the relationship between the slider placement, the corresponding WDAC rule level, and its description. The lower the placement on the table and the UI slider, the greater the specificity of the rule.
+
+| Rule Condition | WDAC Rule Level | Description |
+|------------ | ----------- | ----------- |
+| **Issuing CA** | PCACertificate | Highest available certificate is added to the signers. This certificate is typically the PCA certificate, one level below the root certificate. Any file signed by this certificate will be affected. |
+| **Publisher** | Publisher | This rule is a combination of the PCACertificate rule and the common name (CN) of the leaf certificate. Any file signed by a major CA but with a leaf from a specific company, for example a device driver publisher, is affected. |
+| **File version** | SignedVersion | This rule is a combination of the PCACertificate and Publisher rule, and a version number. Anything from the specified publisher with a version at or above the one specified is affected. |
+| **File name** | FilePublisher | Most specific. Combination of the file name, publisher, and PCA certificate and a minimum version number. Files from the publisher with the specified name and greater or equal to the specified version are affected. |
+
+
+
+
+### Filepath Rules
+
+Filepath rules do not provide the same security guarantees that explicit signer rules do, as they are based on mutable access permissions. To create a filepath rule, select the file using the *Browse* button.
+
+### File Attribute Rules
+
+The Wizard supports the creation of [file name rules](select-types-of-rules-to-create.md#windows-defender-application-control-filename-rules) based on authenticated file attributes. File name rules are useful when an application and its dependencies (for example, DLLs) may all share the same product name, for instance. This rule level allows users to easily create targeted policies based on the Product Name file name. To select the file attribute to create the rule, move the slider on the Wizard to the desired attribute. The table below describes each of the supported file attributes off which to create a rule.
+
+| Rule level | Description |
+|------------ | ----------- |
+| **Original Filename** | Specifies the original file name, or the name with which the file was first created, of the binary. |
+| **File description** | Specifies the file description provided by the developer of the binary. |
+| **Product name** | Specifies the name of the product with which the binary ships. |
+| **Internal name** | Specifies the internal name of the binary. |
+
+
+
+
+### File Hash Rules
+
+Lastly, the Wizard supports creating file rules using the hash of the file. Although this level is specific, it can cause extra administrative overhead to maintain the current product versions’ hash values. Each time a binary is updated, the hash value changes, therefore requiring a policy update. By default, the Wizard will use file hash as the fallback in case a file rule cannot be created using the specified file rule level.
+
+
+#### Deleting Signing Rules
+
+The table on the left of the page will document the allow and deny rules in the template, and any custom rules you create. Rules can be deleted from the policy by selecting the rule from the rules list table. Once the rule is highlighted, press the delete button underneath the table. you will be prompted for additional confirmation. Select `Yes` to remove the rule from the policy and the rules table.

+# Editing existing base and supplemental WDAC policies with the Wizard
+
+**Applies to**
+- Windows 10
+- Windows Server 2016 and above
+
+The WDAC Wizard makes editing and viewing WDAC policies easier than the PowerShell cmdlets or manually. The Wizard currently supports the following editing capabilities:
+
[Adding new allow or block file rules to existing policies](#adding-file-rules)
+
[Removing allow or block file rules on existing policies](#removing-file-rules)
+
+
+## Configuring Policy Rules
+
+The `Policy Rules` page will load with the in-edit policy rules configured per the set rules. Selecting the `+ Advanced Options` button will reveal the advanced policy rule options panel. This grouping of rules contains additional policy rule options that are less common to the majority of users. To edit any of the rules, flip the corresponding policy rule state. For instance, to disable Audit Mode and enable Enforcement Mode in the figure below, the button beside the `Audit Mode` label needs only to be pressed. Once the policy rules are configured, select the Next button to continue the next stage of editing: [Adding File Rules](#adding-file-rules).
+
+
+
+A description of the policy rule is shown at the bottom of the page when the cursor is placed over the rule title. For a complete list of the policy rules and their capabilities, see the [Windows Defender Application Control policy rules table](select-types-of-rules-to-create.md#windows-defender-application-control-policy-rules).
+
+## Adding File Rules
+
+The WDAC Wizard allows users to add rules to their existing policy seamlessly. Previously, this would have involved creating a new policy with the new rules and merging it with the existing policy.
+
+Selecting the `+ Custom Rules` button will open the Custom Rules panel. For more information on creating new policy file rules, see the guidelines provided in the [creating policy file rules section](wdac-wizard-create-base-policy.md#creating-custom-file-rules).
+
+## Removing File Rules
+
+The WDAC Wizard makes deleting file rules from an existing policy quick and easy. To remove any type of file rule: publisher rule, path rule, filename rule, or a hash rule, select the rule in the `Policy Signing Rules List` table on the left-hand side of the page. Selecting the rule will highlight the entire row. Once the row is highlighted, select the remove icon underneath the table. The Wizard will prompt for user confirmation before removing the file rule. Once removed, the rule will no longer appear in the policy or the table.
+
+
+
+**Note:** removing a publisher rule will also remove the associated File Attribute rules. For instance, in the xml block below, removing ID_SIGNER_CONTOSO_PUBLISHER would also remove the rules ID_FILEATTRIB_LOB_APP_1 and ID_FILEATTRIB_LOB_APP_2.
+
+```xml
+
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+[comment]: <> (## Editing File Rules Coming soon!)
+
+### Policy Creation
+
+Once the policy is created, the new policy will be written to the same path as the in-edit policy. The new policy file name will have the policy version appended to the end of the file name. For instance, if the in-edit policy is saved at MyDocuments\BasePolicy.xml, after edit, the new policy will be saved at MyDocuments\BasePolicy_v10.0.0.1.xml.

+# Merging existing policies with the WDAC Wizard
+
+Beginning in Windows 10 version 1903, WDAC supports multiple policies. Before version 1903, however, Windows 10 could only have one WDAC policy. Consequently, users were required to merge multiple WDAC policies into one. The WDAC Wizard has a simple to use user interface to allow users to merge multiple WDAC policies. The Wizard can support up to 15 policy files as input during the merge workflow.
+
+Select the policies you wish to merge into one policy using the `+ Add Policy` button under the table. Once added, policies will be enumerated within the table. To remove a policy from the table, if accidentally added, highlight the policy row and select the `- Remove Policy` button. Confirmation will be required before the policy is withdrawn from the table.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The policy type and ID of the final output policy will be determined based on the type and ID of the **first policy** in the policy list table. For instance, if a legacy policy format policy and a multi-policy format policy are merged together, the output format of the policy will be whichever policy is specified first in the table. For more information on policy formats, visit the [Multiple WDAC Policies page](deploy-multiple-windows-defender-application-control-policies.md).
+
+Lastly, select a filepath save location for the final merged policy using the `Browse` button. If a minimum of two policies are selected, and the save location is specified, select the `Next` button to build the policy.

+# Windows Defender Application Control Wizard
+
+**Applies to:**
+
+- Windows 10
+- Windows Server 2016 and above
+
+The Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) policy Wizard is an open source Windows desktop application written in C# and bundled as an MSIX package. The Wizard was built to provide security architects, security and system administrators with a more user-friendly means to create, edit, and merge WDAC policies. The Wizard desktop application uses the [ConfigCI PowerShell Cmdlets](https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/configci) in the backend so the output policy of the Wizard and PowerShell cmdlets is identical.
+
+## Downloading the application
+
+The WDAC Wizard can be downloaded from the official [Wizard installer website](https://bit.ly/3koHwYs) as an MSIX packaged application. The Wizard's source code is available as part of Microsoft's Open Source Software offerings on GitHub at the [WDAC Wizard Repo](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WDAC-Toolkit).
+
+**Supported Clients**
+
+As the WDAC Wizard uses the cmdlets in the background, the Wizard is functional on clients only where the cmdlets are supported as outlined in [WDAC feature availability](feature-availability.md). Specifically, the tool will verify that the client meets one of the following requirements:
+
+- Windows builds 1909+
+- For pre-1909 builds, the Enterprise SKU of Windows is installed
+
+If neither requirement is satisfied, the Wizard will throw an error as the cmdlets are not available.

To make sure that each GPO associated with a group can only be applied to devices running the correct version of Windows, use the Group Policy Management MMC snap-in to create and assign WMI filters to the GPO. Although you can create a separate membership group for each GPO, you would then have to manage the memberships of the different groups. Instead, use only a single membership group, and let WMI filters automatically ensure the correct GPO is applied to each device.

You must create a group in Active Directory to contain members of the encryption zone.

You then modify the security methods list to include only algorithm combinations that include encryption protocols.

+# 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.

This information enables you to create a design that accounts for all possible elements of the existing infrastructure. If the gathered information is not accurate, problems can occur when devices and devices that were not considered during the planning phase are encountered during implementation.

+# 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`.

+
+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.

With the LTSC servicing model, customers can delay receiving feature updates and instead only receive monthly quality updates on devices. Features from Windows 10 that could be updated with new functionality, including Cortana, Edge, and all in-box Universal Windows apps, are also not included. Feature updates are offered in new LTSC releases every 2–3 years instead of every 6 months, and organizations can choose to install them as in-place upgrades or even skip releases over a 10-year life cycle. Microsoft is committed to providing bug fixes and security patches for each LTSC release during this 10 year period.
>[!IMPORTANT]
->The Long Term Servicing Channel is not intended for deployment on most or all the PCs in an organization. The LTSC edition of Windows 10 provides customers with access to a deployment option for their special-purpose devices and environments. These devices typically perform a single important task and don’t need feature updates as frequently as other devices in the organization. These devices are also typically not heavily dependent on support from external apps and tools. Since the feature set for LTSC does not change for the lifetime of the release, over time there might be some external tools that do not continue to provide legacy support. See [LTSC: What is it, and when it should be used](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Windows-IT-Pro-Blog/LTSC-What-is-it-and-when-should-it-be-used/ba-p/293181).

In this version of Windows 10, Microsoft has extended the ability to send a Miracast stream over a local network rather than over a direct wireless link. This functionality is based on the [Miracast over Infrastructure Connection Establishment Protocol (MS-MICE)](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/mt796768.aspx).

+#### How it works
Users attempt to connect to a Miracast receiver as they did previously. When the list of Miracast receivers is populated, Windows 10 will identify that the receiver is capable of supporting a connection over the infrastructure. When the user selects a Miracast receiver, Windows 10 will attempt to resolve the device's hostname via standard DNS, as well as via multicast DNS (mDNS). If the name is not resolvable via either DNS method, Windows 10 will fall back to establishing the Miracast session using the standard Wi-Fi direct connection.

- A Windows PC or Surface Hub can act as a Miracast over Infrastructure *receiver*. A Windows PC or phone can act as a Miracast over Infrastructure *source*.
- As a Miracast receiver, the PC or Surface Hub must be connected to your enterprise network via either Ethernet or a secure Wi-Fi connection (e.g. using either WPA2-PSK or WPA2-Enterprise security). If the Hub is connected to an open Wi-Fi connection, Miracast over Infrastructure will disable itself.
- As a Miracast source, the PC or phone must be connected to the same enterprise network via Ethernet or a secure Wi-Fi connection.

- The DNS Hostname (device name) of the device needs to be resolvable via your DNS servers. You can achieve this by either allowing your device to register automatically via Dynamic DNS, or by manually creating an A or AAAA record for the device's hostname.

Additionally, this capability enables you to keep devices on their current version until they reach end of service. Check it out in Intune, also available as a Group Policy and Configuration Service Provider (CSP) policy.
+
- Validation improvements: To ensure devices and end users stay productive and protected, Microsoft uses safeguard holds to block devices from updating when there are known issues that would impact that device. Also, to better enable IT administrators to validate on the latest release, we have created a new policy that enables admins to opt devices out of the built-in safeguard holds.
+
- Update less: Last year, we [changed update installation policies](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2019/04/04/improving-the-windows-10-update-experience-with-control-quality-and-transparency/#l2jH7KMkOkfcWdBs.97) for Windows 10 to only target devices running a feature update version that is nearing end of service. As a result, many devices are only updating once a year. To enable all devices to make the most of this policy change, and to prevent confusion, we have removed deferrals from the Windows Update settings **Advanced Options** page starting on Windows 10, version 2004. If you wish to continue leveraging deferrals, you can use local Group Policy (**Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business > Select when Preview builds and Feature Updates are received** or **Select when Quality Updates are received**).

+# What's new in Windows 10, version 20H2 for IT Pros
+
+**Applies to**
+- Windows 10, version 20H2
+
+This article lists new and updated features and content that is of interest to IT Pros for Windows 10, version 20H2, also known as the Windows 10 October 2020 Update. This update also contains all features and fixes included in previous cumulative updates to Windows 10, version 2004.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> With this release and future releases, the Windows 10 release nomenclature is changing from a year and month pattern (YYMM) to a year and half-year pattern (YYH1, YYH2).
+
+As with previous fall releases, Windows 10, version 20H2 is a scoped set of features for select performance improvements, enterprise features, and quality enhancements. As an [H2-targeted release](https://support.microsoft.com/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet), 20H2 is serviced for 30 months from the release date for devices running Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 Education editions.
+
+To download and install Windows 10, version 20H2, use Windows Update (**Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update**). For more information, including a video, see [How to get the Windows 10 October 2020 Update](https://community.windows.com/videos/how-to-get-the-windows-10-october-2020-update/7c7_mWN0wi8).
+
+## Microsoft Edge
+
+This release automatically includes the new Chromium-based [Microsoft Edge](https://www.microsoft.com/edge/business) browser instead of the legacy version of Edge. For more information, see the [Microsoft Edge documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/).
+
+## Servicing
+
+### Windows Update
+
+There are several changes that help improve the security of devices that scan Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) for updates. For more information, see [Changes to improve security for Windows devices scanning WSUS](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/changes-to-improve-security-for-windows-devices-scanning-wsus/ba-p/1645547).
+
+Starting with Windows 10, version 20H2, LCUs and SSUs have been combined into a single cumulative monthly update, available via Microsoft Catalog or Windows Server Update Services. For more information, see [Simplifying on-premises deployment of servicing stack updates](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/simplifying-on-premises-deployment-of-servicing-stack-updates/ba-p/1646039).
+
+## Deployment
+
+New guidance is available to help prepare a [servicing strategy](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/waas-servicing-strategy-windows-10-updates) and move your devices to the latest version of Windows 10 quickly and as seamlessly as possible.
+
+Activities are grouped into the following phases: **Plan** > **Prepare** > **Deploy**:
+
+**Plan** your deployment by evaluating and understanding essential activities:
+- Create a [phased deployment plan](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/create-deployment-plan)

+- Evaluate your [infrastructure and tools](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/eval-infra-tools)
+- Determine [readiness](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/plan-determine-app-readiness) for your business applications
