This list does not define, and does not link to, a clear definition of 'windows component.' Instead it links to a general article on computer programs. The problem is that there are several possibilities for a how a 'windows component' may be defined. Does Microsoft have an in-house definition of what is or is not a 'windows component?' Is it any program Microsoft provides as part of a default windows installation? etc.

Can an article about Windows Components be considered complete when, although referred to in context, there is no mention of the Registry as a component part of Windows? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.62.148.140 ( talk) 16:10, 6 May 2007 (UTC).
Someone should add "Private Character Editor", it is part of all Windows XP as "Eudcedit.exe", it is shown in the "System Tools" in the Chinese editions of Windows XP. -- Voidvector 19:17, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

As this article is growing people are deleting components from previous operating systems. This should be split instead of deleted!

Image:Paint Vista.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The image Image:Hearts Vista.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
The following images also have this problem:

Here are three different versions of the description:
A cloud-based downloader, that downloads Windows Updates, apps from the Windows Store, and other Microsoft products.
A peer-to-peer file sharing service that downloads Windows updates and Windows Store apps from peers on the Internet or the local network. [1] [2]
A file distribution service that participates in the download of Windows updates and Microsoft Store apps from multiple locations depending on policy, including servers on Internet or local network and peers on the Internet or local network.
A download service that participates in the retrieval of Windows updates and Microsoft Store apps from multiple locations depending on policy, including both local and Internet servers and peers.
Let's discuss the relative merits of them based on descriptions of what the service is. DavidDelaune has some issues with Codename Lisa's version although it is not clear what exactly those issues are other than the description not being copy-pasted from Microsoft. —DIYeditor ( talk) 01:16, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

at the beginning of your post, after any indents. #1 is the version currently in the article as of this post. I agree that it is more than just a peer-to-peer service and file sharing is not the most accurate description.

tag.Hi, I've started a new article Draft:Bluetooth File Transfer which needs a lot of work, please update / improve it as needed. Thanks! John a s ( talk) 20:07, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
According to https://ss64.com/nt/w32tm.html, 'The W32Time service is not a full-featured Network Time Protocol (NTP) solution that meets time-sensitive needs.', contrary to what is currently mentioned on the Wikipedia page. Other sources also make similar statements. From what I can gather, Windows Time satisfies most of the NTP requirements, meaning that it generally works well in most practical networked environments requiring a reasonable degree of time accuracy, even though it might not be completely compliant with NTP.
