# Troubleshoot attack surface reduction rules

When you use [attack surface reduction rules](attack-surface-reduction.md) you may run into issues, such as:
* A rule blocks a file, process, or performs some other action that it should not (false positive)
* A rule does not work as described, or does not block a file or process that it should (false negative)
- A rule blocks a file, process, or performs some other action that it should not (false positive)
- A rule does not work as described, or does not block a file or process that it should (false negative)
There are four steps to troubleshooting these problems:
1. Confirm prerequisites
2. Use audit mode to test the rule
3. Add exclusions for the specified rule (for false positives)
4. Submit support logs
1. [Confirm prerequisites](#confirm-prerequisites)
2. [Use audit mode to test the rule](#use-audit-mode-to-test-the-rule)
3. [Add exclusions for the specified rule](#add-exclusions-for-a-false-positive) (for false positives)
4. [Submit support logs](#collect-diagnostic-data-for-file-submissions)
## Confirm prerequisites
Attack surface reduction rules will only work on devices with the following conditions:
> [!div class="checklist"]
> * Endpoints are running Windows 10 Enterprise, version 1709 (also known as the Fall Creators Update).
> * Endpoints are using Windows Defender Antivirus as the sole antivirus protection app. [Using any other antivirus app will cause Windows Defender AV to disable itself](../windows-defender-antivirus/windows-defender-antivirus-compatibility.md).
> * [Real-time protection](../windows-defender-antivirus/configure-real-time-protection-windows-defender-antivirus.md) is enabled.
> * Audit mode is not enabled. Use Group Policy to set the rule to **Disabled** (value: **0**) as described in [Enable attack surface reduction rules](enable-attack-surface-reduction.md).

- Endpoints are using Windows Defender Antivirus as the sole antivirus protection app. [Using any other antivirus app will cause Windows Defender AV to disable itself](../windows-defender-antivirus/windows-defender-antivirus-compatibility.md).
- [Real-time protection](../windows-defender-antivirus/configure-real-time-protection-windows-defender-antivirus.md) is enabled.
- Audit mode is not enabled. Use Group Policy to set the rule to **Disabled** (value: **0**) as described in [Enable attack surface reduction rules](enable-attack-surface-reduction.md).
If these prerequisites have all been met, proceed to the next step to test the rule in audit mode.

Follow these instructions in [Use the demo tool to see how attack surface reduction rules work](evaluate-attack-surface-reduction.md) to test the specific rule you are encountering problems with.
1. Enable audit mode for the specific rule you want to test. Use Group Policy to set the rule to **Audit mode** (value: **2**) as described in [Enable attack surface reduction rules](enable-attack-surface-reduction.md). Audit mode allows the rule to report the file or process, but will still allow it to run.
2. Perform the activity that is causing an issue (for example, open or execute the file or process that should be blocked but is being allowed).
3. [Review the attack surface reductio rule event logs](attack-surface-reduction.md) to see if the rule would have blocked the file or process if the rule had been set to **Enabled**.

If a rule is not blocking a file or process that you are expecting it should block, first check if audit mode is enabled.
Audit mode may have been enabled for testing another feature, or by an automated PowerShell script, and may not have been disabled after the tests were completed.
If you've tested the rule with the demo tool and with audit mode, and attack surface reduction rules are working on pre-configured scenarios, but the rule is not working as expected, proceed to either of the following sections based on your situation:
1. If the attack surface reduction rule is blocking something that it should not block (also known as a false positive), you can [first add an attack surface reduction rule exclusion](#add-exclusions-for-a-false-positive).
2. If the attack surface reduction rule is not blocking something that it should block (also known as a false negative), you can proceed immediately to the last step, [collecting diagnostic data and submitting the issue to us](#collect-diagnostic-data-for-file-submissions).
