| * Microsoft has done its best with successive version to Windows to [[https://www.coretechnologies.com/blog/windows-services/interactive-services-removed-windows-10/|remove ISDS]], such that even [[admin:server_installation_2#installing_firedaemon_zero|FiredaemonZero]] can no longer restore it. | |

| Services and system processes run in session 0. Prior to Vista, the console (first logged on user’s desktop) ran in session 0 as well. Vista introduced [[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756986.aspx|session 0 isolation]] to protect services from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privilege_escalation|elevation of privilege]] exploits from the console desktop. Now, the first user’s desktop runs in session 1. | |

| Interactive Services Detection (the blinking button on the taskbar) is a mitigation for legacy applications that detects if a service is trying to interact with the desktop. This is handled by the Interactive Services Detection (UI0Detect) service. | |
