We use the service Interactive Services Detection to register a licensing service for our software. I have noticed that it was removed from Windows 10. Will the service only be removed from desktop or also from servers such as Windows Server 2016?

    Hi Gale,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Microsoft has fully disabled Interactive Service Detection starting with Windows 10 Build 1803 and also from in Windows Server 2019 and above.

    Here is a quote from Microsoft:

    "When you update to or install Windows 10 Version 1803 or later or Server 2019, the Interactive Services Detection Service (UI0Detect) will no longer be present.

    This means you can no longer switch desktop to Session 0. Additionally, native Windows services marked as "Allow service to interact with the desktop" via the Services applet (i.e. services.msc) are no longer granted interactive with desktop rights by the Windows Service Control Manager (SCM). Hence, even when you switch desktop to Session 0, those native interactive services will no longer be visible."
