System/AllowFontProviders

Windows Edition Supported?
Home cross mark
Pro check mark2
Business check mark2
Enterprise check mark2
Education check mark2

Scope:

[!div class = "checklist"]

  • Device

Added in Windows 10, version 1703. Boolean policy setting that determines whether Windows is allowed to download fonts and font catalog data from an online font provider. If you enable this setting, Windows periodically queries an online font provider to determine whether a new font catalog is available. Windows may also download font data if needed to format or render text. If you disable this policy setting, Windows does not connect to an online font provider and only enumerates locally installed fonts.

This MDM setting corresponds to the EnableFontProviders Group Policy setting. If both the Group Policy and the MDM settings are configured, the group policy setting takes precedence. If neither is configured, the behavior depends on a DisableFontProviders registry value. In server editions, this registry value is set to 1 by default, so the default behavior is false (disabled). In all other editions, the registry value is not set by default, so the default behavior is true (enabled).

This setting is used by lower-level components for text display and fond handling and has not direct effect on web browsers, which may download web fonts used in web content.

Note

Reboot is required after setting the policy; alternatively you can stop and restart the FontCache service.

ADMX Info:

  • GP English name: Enable Font Providers
  • GP name: EnableFontProviders
  • GP path: Network/Fonts
  • GP ADMX file name: GroupPolicy.admx

The following list shows the supported values:

  • 0 - false - No traffic to fs.microsoft.com and only locally installed fonts are available.
  • 1 - true (default) - There may be network traffic to fs.microsoft.com and downloadable fonts are available to apps that support them.

To verify if System/AllowFontProviders is set to true:

  • After a client machine is rebooted, check whether there is any network traffic from client machine to fs.microsoft.com.

System/AllowLocation

Windows Edition Supported?
Home cross mark
Pro check mark
Business check mark
Enterprise check mark
Education check mark

Scope:

[!div class = "checklist"]

  • Device

Specifies whether to allow app access to the Location service.

Most restricted value is 0.

While the policy is set to 0 (Force Location Off) or 2 (Force Location On), any Location service call from an app would trigger the value set by this policy.

When switching the policy back from 0 (Force Location Off) or 2 (Force Location On) to 1 (User Control), the app reverts to its original Location service setting.

For example, an app's original Location setting is Off. The administrator then sets the AllowLocation policy to 2 (Force Location On.) The Location service starts working for that app, overriding the original setting. Later, if the administrator switches the AllowLocation policy back to 1 (User Control), the app will revert to using its original setting of Off.

ADMX Info:

  • GP English name: Turn off location
  • GP name: DisableLocation_2
  • GP path: Windows Components/Location and Sensors
  • GP ADMX file name: Sensors.admx

The following list shows the supported values:

  • 0 – Force Location Off. All Location Privacy settings are toggled off and grayed out. Users cannot change the settings, and no apps are allowed access to the Location service, including Cortana and Search.
  • 1 (default) – Location service is allowed. The user has control and can change Location Privacy settings on or off.
  • 2 – Force Location On. All Location Privacy settings are toggled on and grayed out. Users cannot change the settings and all consent permissions will be automatically suppressed.

Education check mark

Scope:

[!div class = "checklist"]

  • Device

This policy setting allows you to specify which boot-start drivers are initialized based on a classification determined by an Early Launch Antimalware boot-start driver. The Early Launch Antimalware boot-start driver can return the following classifications for each boot-start driver:

  • Good: The driver has been signed and has not been tampered with.
  • Bad: The driver has been identified as malware. It is recommended that you do not allow known bad drivers to be initialized.
  • Bad, but required for boot: The driver has been identified as malware, but the computer cannot successfully boot without loading this driver.
  • Unknown: This driver has not been attested to by your malware detection application and has not been classified by the Early Launch Antimalware boot-start driver.

If you enable this policy setting you will be able to choose which boot-start drivers to initialize the next time the computer is started.

If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the boot start drivers determined to be Good, Unknown or Bad but Boot Critical are initialized and the initialization of drivers determined to be Bad is skipped.

If your malware detection application does not include an Early Launch Antimalware boot-start driver or if your Early Launch Antimalware boot-start driver has been disabled, this setting has no effect and all boot-start drivers are initialized.

Tip

This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.

You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For an example SyncML, refer to Enabling a policy.
