Don't know if this will help anyone but this is on the Microsoft website. HTTP.sys supports the following features: Windows Authentication Port sharing HTTPS with SNI HTTP/2 over TLS (Windows 10 or later) Direct file transmission Response caching WebSockets (Windows 8 or later) Supported Windows versions: Windows 7 or later Windows Server 2008 R2 or later So i imagine the answer is Yes, but of course you never know with these questions...

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/servers/httpsys?view=aspnetcore-2.1 I think it's YES.

Considering that Windows Authentication would downgrade HTTP2 to HTTP1.1, would the answer rather be "no"?

Don't think so. I believe the question is strictly about HTTP.sys features, not about such logical thinking. It's bad question though - if you have knowledge but still are not sure about the answer because question is not clear enough.

I have seen similar questions in which the application was placed behind a reverse IIS proxy icw Kestrel. In that question that argument is used to answer a question with a 'no', but here it should be ignored? Looks like community is divided on this.
