software can only be installed and run in an appropriate manner that does not bypass the security framework native to Windows. AppLocker itself is a massively important piece of our security framework, as it helps to block malware from running even within a user context to perform malicious actions. We do understand that it can be a potentially frustrating hurdle in some circumstances, but it is definitely something that we are confident has prevented a large number of potential issues to campus computing.
Software that utilizes Windows best practices will rarely create an issue with AppLocker in our environment once installed correctly. Installing software might require utilizing the following directions: How do I use admin access on my Windows 10 computer?
For software that does not utilize Windows best practices, or attempts to run other software or scripts as a sub process, you might encounter a prompt similar to below:

To request exceptions additions or exceptions, please submit a Tracker Ticketthat includes the name of the software and the name of your computer. The Information Infrastructure and Security Office will need to test and approve any requests.
