Windows 10, version 21H1, connection endpoints for non-Enterprise editions
Important
This version of Windows 10 has reached its end of servicing date. For more information, see Microsoft Product Lifecyle.
Applies to
- Windows 10 Home, version 21H1
- Windows 10 Professional, version 21H1
- Windows 10 Education, version 21H1
In addition to the endpoints listed for Windows 10 Enterprise, the following endpoints are available on other non-Enterprise editions of Windows 10, version 21H1.
The following methodology was used to derive the network endpoints:
- Set up the latest version of Windows 10 on a test virtual machine using the default settings.
- Leave the device(s) running idle for a week ("idle" means a user is not interacting with the system/device).
- Use globally accepted network protocol analyzer/capturing tools and log all background egress traffic.
- Compile reports on traffic going to public IP addresses.
- The test virtual machine(s) was logged into using a local account, and was not joined to a domain or Azure Active Directory.
- All traffic was captured in our lab using a IPV4 network. Therefore, no IPV6 traffic is reported here.
- These tests were conducted in an approved Microsoft lab. It's possible your results may be different.
- 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.
