Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) policies can be managed from an MDM server, or locally by using PowerShell via the WMI Bridge through the ApplicationControl configuration service provider (CSP). The ApplicationControl CSP was added in Windows 10, version 1903. This CSP provides expanded diagnostic capabilities and support for [multiple policies](/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-control/deploy-multiple-windows-defender-application-control-policies) (introduced in Windows 10, version 1903). It also provides support for policy deployment (introduced in Windows 10, version 1709) without reboot. Unlike the [AppLocker CSP](applocker-csp.md), the ApplicationControl CSP correctly detects the presence of no-reboot option and consequently doesn't schedule a reboot.

The bucketing information is recorded in a Windows Error Reporting (WER) event that is generated when the WER client reports the hang to the Watson service, and the WER event will contain the same ReportID (see field 13 of hang event, field 19 of WER event) as the hang event for the hang being reported. AppHang is reported only on PC devices. It handles classic Win32 hangs and is emitted only once per report. Some behaviors that may be perceived by a user as a hang are reported by app managers (e.g. PLM/RM/EM) as Watson Generics and won't produce AppHang events.

After deployment of the WDAC AppId Tagging policy, WDAC will log a 3099 policy deployed event in the [Event Viewer logs](../operations/event-id-explanations.md). You first should ensure that the policy has been successfully deployed onto the system by verifying the presence of the 3099 event.

You first should ensure that the policy has been successfully deployed onto the system by verifying the presence of the 3099 event.
## Verifying Tags on Running Processes
After verifying the policy has been deployed, the next step is to verify that the application processes you expect to pass the AppId Tagging policy have your tag set. Note that processes running at the time of policy deployment will need to be restarted since Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) can only tag processes created after the policy has been deployed.

Multiple App Control policies can be managed from an MDM server through ApplicationControl configuration service provider (CSP). The CSP also provides support for rebootless policy deployment.
However, when policies are unenrolled from an MDM server, the CSP will attempt to remove every policy from devices, not just the policies added by the CSP. The reason for this is that the ApplicationControl CSP doesn't track enrollment sources for individual policies, even though it will query all policies on a device, regardless if they were deployed by the CSP.
For more information, see [ApplicationControl CSP](/windows/client-management/mdm/applicationcontrol-csp) to deploy multiple policies, and optionally use Microsoft Intune's Custom OMA-URI capability.

# Creating your App Control AppId Tagging Policies
[!INCLUDE [Feature availability note](../includes/feature-availability-note.md)]
## Create the policy using the App Control Wizard
You can use the App Control for Business Wizard and the PowerShell commands to create an App Control policy and convert it to an AppIdTagging policy. The App Control Wizard is available for download at the [App Control Wizard Installer site](https://aka.ms/wdacwizard). These PowerShell commands are only available on the supported platforms listed in [AppId Tagging Guide](appcontrol-appid-tagging-guide.md).
1. Create a new base policy using the templates:
Start with the Policy Creator task and select Multiple Policy Format and Base Policy. Select the Base Template to use for the policy. The following example shows beginning with the [Default Windows Mode](../design/appcontrol-wizard-create-base-policy.md#template-base-policies) template and build on top of these rules.
:::image type="content" alt-text="Configuring the policy base and template." source="../images/appid-appcontrol-wizard-1.png" lightbox="../images/appid-appcontrol-wizard-1.png":::
> [!NOTE]
> If your AppId Tagging Policy does build off the base templates or does not allow Windows in-box processes, you will notice significant performance regressions, especially during boot. For this reason, it is strongly recommended to build off the base templates. For more information on the issue, see the [AppId Tagging Known Issue](../operations/known-issues.md#slow-boot-and-performance-with-custom-policies).
2. Set the following rule-options using the Wizard toggles:
:::image type="content" alt-text="Configuring the policy rule-options." source="../images/appid-appcontrol-wizard-2.png":::
3. Create custom rules:
Selecting the `+ Custom Rules` button opens the Custom Rules panel. The Wizard supports five types of file rules:
- Publisher rules: Create a rule based off the signing certificate hierarchy. Additionally, the original filename and version can be combined with the signing certificate for added security.
- Path rules: Create a rule based off the path to a file or a parent folder path. Path rules support wildcards.
- File attribute rules: Create a rule based off a file's immutable properties like the original filename, file description, product name or internal name.
- Package app name rules: Create a rule based off the package family name of an appx/msix.
- Hash rules: Create a rule based off the PE Authenticode hash of a file.
For more information on creating new policy file rules, see the guidelines provided in the [creating policy file rules section](../design/appcontrol-wizard-create-base-policy.md#creating-custom-file-rules).
4. Convert to AppId Tagging Policy:
After the Wizard builds the policy file, open the file in a text editor and remove the entire "Value=131" SigningScenario text block. The only remaining signing scenario should be "Value=12" which is the user mode application section. Next, open PowerShell in an elevated prompt and run the following command. Replace the AppIdTagging Key-Value pair for your scenario:
```powershell
Set-CIPolicyIdInfo -ResetPolicyID -FilePath .\AppIdPolicy.xml -AppIdTaggingPolicy -AppIdTaggingKey "MyKey" -AppIdTaggingValue "MyValue"
```
The policyID GUID is returned by the PowerShell command if successful.
## Create the policy using PowerShell
Using this method, you create an AppId Tagging policy directly using the App Control PowerShell commands. These PowerShell commands are only available on the supported platforms listed in [AppId Tagging Guide](appcontrol-appid-tagging-guide.md). In an elevate PowerShell instance:
1. Create an AppId rule for the policy based on a combination of the signing certificate chain and version of the application. In the example below, the level has been set to SignedVersion. Any of the [App Control File Rule Levels](../design/select-types-of-rules-to-create.md#table-2-app-control-for-business-policy---file-rule-levels) can be used in AppId rules:
```powershell
$rule = New-CiPolicyRule -Level SignedVersion -DriverFilePath <path_to_application>
```
2. Create the AppId Tagging Policy. Replace the AppIdTagging Key-Value pair for your scenario:
```powershell
New-CIPolicy -rules $rule -FilePath .\AppIdPolicy.xml -AppIdTaggingPolicy -AppIdTaggingKey "MyKey" -AppIdTaggingValue "MyValue"
```
3. Set the rule-options for the policy:
```powershell
Set-RuleOption -Option 0 .\AppIdPolicy.xml # Usermode Code Integrity (UMCI)
Set-RuleOption -Option 16 .\AppIdPolicy.xml # Refresh Policy no Reboot
Set-RuleOption -Option 18 .\AppIdPolicy.xml # (Optional) Disable FilePath Rule Protection
```
If you're using filepath rules, you may want to set option 18. Otherwise, there's no need.
4. Set the name and ID on the policy, which is helpful for future debugging:
```powershell
Set-CIPolicyIdInfo -ResetPolicyId -PolicyName "MyPolicyName" -PolicyId "MyPolicyId" -AppIdTaggingPolicy -FilePath ".\AppIdPolicy.xml"
```
The policyID GUID is returned by the PowerShell command if successful.
## Deploy for Local Testing
After creating your AppId Tagging policy in the above steps, you can deploy the policy to your local machine for testing before broadly deploying the policy to your endpoints:
1. Depending on your deployment method, convert the xml to binary:
```powershell
Convertfrom-CIPolicy .\policy.xml ".\{PolicyIDGUID}.cip"
```
2. Optionally, deploy it for local testing:
```powershell
copy ".\{Policy ID}.cip" c:\windows\system32\codeintegrity\CiPolicies\Active\
./RefreshPolicy.exe
```
RefreshPolicy.exe is available for download from the [Microsoft Download Center](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=102925).
## Next Steps
For more information on debugging and broad deployment of the AppId Tagging policy, see [Debugging AppId policies](debugging-operational-guide-appid-tagging-policies.md) and [Deploying AppId policies](deploy-appid-tagging-policies.md).

# App Control for Business and AppLocker Overview
[!INCLUDE [Feature availability note](includes/feature-availability-note.md)]
Windows 10 and Windows 11 include two technologies that can be used for application control, depending on your organization's specific scenarios and requirements: App Control for Business and AppLocker.
## App Control for Business
App Control was introduced with Windows 10 and allows organizations to control which drivers and applications are allowed to run on their Windows clients. It was designed as a security feature under the [servicing criteria](https://www.microsoft.com/msrc/windows-security-servicing-criteria), defined by the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC).
App Control policies apply to the managed computer as a whole and affects all users of the device. App Control rules can be defined based on:
- Attributes of the codesigning certificate(s) used to sign an app and its binaries
- Attributes of the app's binaries that come from the signed metadata for the files, such as Original Filename and version, or the hash of the file
- The reputation of the app as determined by Microsoft's [Intelligent Security Graph](design/use-appcontrol-with-intelligent-security-graph.md)
- The identity of the process that initiated the installation of the app and its binaries ([managed installer](design/configure-authorized-apps-deployed-with-a-managed-installer.md))
- The [path from which the app or file is launched](design/select-types-of-rules-to-create.md#more-information-about-filepath-rules) (beginning with Windows 10 version 1903)
- The process that launched the app or binary
> [!NOTE]
> App Control was originally released as part of Device Guard and called configurable code integrity. Device Guard and configurable code integrity are no longer used except to find where to deploy App Control policy via Group Policy.
### App Control System Requirements
App Control policies can be created and applied on any client edition of Windows 10 or Windows 11, or on Windows Server 2016 and higher. App Control policies can be deployed via a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution, for example, Intune; a management interface such as Configuration Manager; or a script host such as PowerShell. Group Policy can also be used to deploy App Control policies, but is limited to single-policy format policies that work on Windows Server 2016 and 2019.
For more information on which individual App Control features are available on specific App Control builds, see [App Control feature availability](feature-availability.md).
## AppLocker
AppLocker was introduced with Windows 7, and allows organizations to control which applications are allowed to run on their Windows clients. AppLocker helps to prevent end-users from running unapproved software on their computers but doesn't meet the servicing criteria for being a security feature.
AppLocker policies can apply to all users on a computer, or to individual users and groups. AppLocker rules can be defined based on:
- Attributes of the codesigning certificate(s) used to sign an app and its binaries.
- Attributes of the app's binaries that come from the signed metadata for the files, such as Original Filename and version, or the hash of the file.
- The path from which the app or file is launched.
AppLocker is also used by some features of App Control, including [managed installer](design/configure-authorized-apps-deployed-with-a-managed-installer.md) and the [Intelligent Security Graph](design/use-appcontrol-with-intelligent-security-graph.md).
### AppLocker System Requirements
AppLocker policies can only be configured on and applied to devices that are running on the supported versions and editions of the Windows operating system. For more info, see [Requirements to Use AppLocker](applocker/requirements-to-use-applocker.md).
AppLocker policies can be deployed using Group Policy or MDM.
## Choose when to use App Control or AppLocker
Generally, customers who are able to implement application control using App Control, rather than AppLocker, should do so. App Control is undergoing continual improvements, and is getting added support from Microsoft management platforms. Although AppLocker continues to receive security fixes, it isn't getting new feature improvements.
However, in some cases, AppLocker might be the more appropriate technology for your organization. AppLocker is best when:
- You have a mixed Windows operating system (OS) environment and need to apply the same policy controls to Windows 10 and earlier versions of the OS.
- You need to apply different policies for different users or groups on shared computers.
- You don't want to enforce application control on application files such as DLLs or drivers.
AppLocker can also be deployed as a complement to App Control to add user or group-specific rules for shared device scenarios, where it's important to prevent some users from running specific apps. As a best practice, you should enforce App Control at the most restrictive level possible for your organization, and then you can use AppLocker to further fine-tune the restrictions.

Windows 10 and Windows 11 include two technologies that can be used for application control depending on your organization's specific scenarios and requirements:

- **App Control for Business**; and
- **AppLocker**
## WDAC and Smart App Control
## App Control and Smart App Control
Starting in Windows 11 version 22H2, [Smart App Control](https://support.microsoft.com/topic/what-is-smart-app-control-285ea03d-fa88-4d56-882e-6698afdb7003) provides application control for consumers. Smart App Control is based on WDAC, allowing enterprise customers to create a policy that offers the same security and compatibility with the ability to customize it to run line-of-business (LOB) apps. To make it easier to implement this policy, an [example policy](design/example-wdac-base-policies.md) is provided. The example policy includes **Enabled:Conditional Windows Lockdown Policy** option that isn't supported for WDAC enterprise policies. This rule must be removed before you use the example policy. To use this example policy as a starting point for creating your own policy, see [Create a custom base policy using an example WDAC base policy](design/create-wdac-policy-for-lightly-managed-devices.md#create-a-custom-base-policy-using-an-example-wdac-base-policy).

Smart App Control is only available on clean installation of Windows 11 version 22H2 or later, and starts in evaluation mode. Smart App Control is automatically turned off for enterprise managed devices unless the user has turned it on first. To turn off Smart App Control across your organization's endpoints, you can set the **VerifiedAndReputablePolicyState** (DWORD) registry value under `HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Policy` as shown in the following table. After you change the registry value, you must either restart the device or use [CiTool.exe -r](/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-control/operations/citool-commands#refresh-the-wdac-policies-on-the-system) for the change to take effect.

This article for the IT professional describes the process dependencies and interactions when AppLocker evaluates and enforces rules.
@ -77,7 +76,7 @@ There are three different types of conditions that can be applied to rules:
An AppLocker policy is a set of rule collections and their corresponding configured enforcement mode settings applied to one or more computers.
- [Understand AppLocker enforcement settings](understand-applocker-enforcement-settings.md)
- [Understand AppLocker enforcement settings](working-with-applocker-rules.md#enforcement-modes)
Rule enforcement is applied only to collections of rules, not individual rules. AppLocker divides the rules into four collections: executable files, Windows Installer files, scripts, and DLL files. The options for rule enforcement are **Not configured**, **Enforce rules**, or **Audit only**. Together, all AppLocker rule collections compose the application control policy, or AppLocker policy. By default, if enforcement isn't configured and rules are present in a rule collection, those rules are enforced.
