Applies to
- Windows 10 Home, version 1709
- Windows 10 Professional, version 1709
- Windows 10 Education, version 1709
In addition to the endpoints listed for Windows 10 Enterprise, the following endpoints are available on other editions of Windows 10, version 1709.
We used the following methodology to derive these network endpoints:
- Set up the latest version of Windows 10 on a test virtual machine using the default settings.
- Leave the devices running idle for a week (that is, 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 was logged in 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.
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.
