# Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) Technical Reference
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Applies to**
|
||||
- Windows 10, version 1607
|
||||
|
||||
>[!IMPORTANT]
|
||||
>We've replaced the majority of functionality included in the Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) with [Windows Analytics](../update/windows-analytics-overview.md), a solution in the Microsoft Operations Management Suite. Windows Analytics gives enterprises the tools to plan and manage the upgrade process end to end, allowing them to adopt new Windows releases more quickly. With new Windows versions being released multiple times a year, ensuring application and driver compatibility on an ongoing basis is key to adopting new Windows versions as they are released.
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft developed Windows Analytics in response to demand from enterprise customers looking for additional direction and details about upgrading to Windows 10. Windows Analytics was built taking into account multiple channels of customer feedback, testing, and Microsoft’s experience upgrading millions of devices to Windows 10.
|
||||
|
||||
With Windows diagnostic data enabled, Windows Analytics collects system, application, and driver data for analysis. We then identify compatibility issues that can block an upgrade and suggest fixes when they are known to Microsoft.
|
||||
|
||||
Use Windows Analytics to get:
|
||||
- A visual workflow that guides you from pilot to production
|
||||
- Detailed computer and application inventory
|
||||
- Powerful computer level search and drill-downs
|
||||
- Guidance and insights into application and driver compatibility issues, with suggested fixes
|
||||
- Data driven application rationalization tools
|
||||
- Application usage information, allowing targeted validation; workflow to track validation progress and decisions
|
||||
- Data export to commonly used software deployment tools, including System Center Configuration Manager
|
||||
|
||||
The Windows Analytics workflow steps you through the discovery and rationalization process until you have a list of computers that are ready to be upgraded.
|
||||
|
||||
At the same time, we've kept the Standard User Analyzer tool, which helps you test your apps and to monitor API calls for potential compatibility issues, and the Compatibility Administrator, which helps you to resolve potential compatibility issues.

# Using the SUA Wizard
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Applies to**
|
||||
|
||||
- Windows 10
|
||||
- Windows 8.1
|
||||
- Windows 8
|
||||
- Windows 7
|
||||
- Windows Server 2012
|
||||
- Windows Server 2008 R2
|
||||
|
||||
The Standard User Analyzer (SUA) Wizard works much like the SUA tool to evaluate User Account Control (UAC) issues. However, the SUA Wizard does not offer detailed analysis, and it cannot disable virtualization or elevate your permissions.
|
||||
|
||||
For information about the SUA tool, see [Using the SUA Tool](using-the-sua-tool.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing an Application by Using the SUA Wizard
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You must install Application Verifier before you can use the SUA Wizard. If Application Verifier is not installed on the computer that is running the SUA Wizard, the SUA Wizard notifies you. You must also install the Microsoft® .NET Framework 3.5 or later before you can use the SUA Wizard.
|
||||
|
||||
The following flowchart shows the process of using the SUA Wizard.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**To test an application by using the SUA Wizard**
|
||||
|
||||
1. On the computer where the SUA Wizard is installed, log on by using a non-administrator account.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Run the Standard User Analyzer Wizard.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Click **Browse for Application**, browse to the folder that contains the application that you want to test, and then double-click the executable file for the application.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Click **Launch**.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are prompted, elevate your permissions. The SUA Wizard may require elevation of permissions to correctly diagnose the application.
|
||||
|
||||
If a **Permission denied** dialog box appears, click **OK**. The application starts, despite the warning.
|
||||
|
||||
5. In the application, exercise the functionality that you want to test.
|
||||
|
||||
6. After you finish testing, exit the application.
|
||||
|
||||
The SUA Wizard displays a message that asks whether the application ran without any issues.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Click **No**.
|
||||
|
||||
The SUA Wizard shows a list of potential remedies that you might use to fix the application.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Select the fixes that you want to apply, and then click **Launch**.
|
||||
|
||||
The application appears again, with the fixes applied.
|
||||
|
||||
9. Test the application again, and after you finish testing, exit the application.
|
||||
|
||||
The SUA Wizard displays a message that asks whether the application ran without any issues.
|
||||
|
||||
10. If the application ran correctly, click **Yes**.
|
||||
|
||||
The SUA Wizard closes the issue as resolved on the local computer.
|
||||
|
||||
If the remedies do not fix the issue with the application, click **No** again, and the wizard may offer additional remedies. If the additional remedies do not fix the issue, the wizard informs you that there are no more remedies available. For information about how to run the SUA tool for additional investigation, see [Using the SUA Tool](using-the-sua-tool.md).
