win: unrecommend and document Live ID service #100
Rename service to its newer name. Mention breaking behavior in its name and add more documentation. Unrecommended from "Standard" pool because it breaks a lot of functionality, but still recomended in "Stricts" because it's used to identify personal information that leads to less privacy.

# **Summary**
|
||||
# This script gives you more privacy by preventing OS access to Azure AD to store your personal
|
||||
# and computer information that can be used to identify you and your computer.
|
||||
# However it breaks many OS features so you should make a decision based on how you'd like to use
|
||||
# your Windows. You can also apply and revert it once you need the broken functionality.
|
||||
# **Service**
|
||||
# This service communicates with Microsoft Account cloud authentication service
|
||||
# Many apps and system components that depend on Microsoft Account authentication may lose functionality.

# It includes following description:

# > Enables user sign-in through Microsoft account identity services.
|
||||
# > If this service is stopped, users will not be able to logon to the computer with their Microsoft account.

||||
# Microsoft states it's OK to disable

# **Breaks**
|
||||
# ❗️ Breaks Azure AD sign-in
|
||||
# It may enrollment scenarios that rely on users to complete the enrollment.
|
||||
# E.g. typically, users are shown an Azure AD sign in window.
|
||||
# When set to Disable, the Azure AD sign in option may not show.
|
||||
# Instead, users are asked to accept the EULA, and create a local account, which may not be what you want.
