Msftncsi
Summary
Msftncis or, more specifically, the msftncis.com domain, is used as a part of the Microsoft Network Connectivity Status Indicator (NCSI). NCSI is a protocol used in Microsofts Windows operating systems to determine internet connectivity status. NCSI can be useful in detecting network issues and providing feedback to the user about their internet connectivity status. At first glance, such behavior could seem like being caused by a dangerous malware threat as no consent or input is required from the users themselves. Disabling the probes may result in other unexpected issues, such as Windows being unable to download updates, even if the computer is connected to the internet.
