📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses the Network Connectivity Status Indicator (NCSI) in Windows, with the original poster seeking examples of other services that require NCSI configuration beyond Direct Access. The response clarifies that the network connection indicator itself does not depend on specific services but relies on the Windows Explorer process. The overall conclusion is that the indicator is part of the explorer and not a standalone service, and most services do not depend directly on it.

I meant services dont rely on the indicator but the indicator does relies on services. It is not a service nor is it a stand alone executable. It's part of the explorer process.

If you're talking about the network connection indicator services don't need it but the inverse is true. There really isn't any good documentation about what it relies on. You'd have to did into code to figure it out or just play around with stopping services.

I have some question watch you answer. I know till now NCSI is mean Network Connectivity Status Indicator but you say network connection indicator service. It is same service or different service. I couldn't searching the network connection indicator service.

I'm understand the indicator is does not relation the services configuration. Is it correct?
