# Fixing Applications by Using the SUA Tool
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 8
- Windows 7
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows Server 2008 R2
On the user interface for the Standard User Analyzer (SUA) tool, you can apply fixes to an application.
**To fix an application by using the SUA tool**
1. Use the SUA tool to test an application. For more information, see [Using the SUA Tool](using-the-sua-tool.md).
2. After you finish testing, open the SUA tool.
3. On the **Mitigation** menu, click the command that corresponds to the action that you want to take. The following table describes the commands.
<table>
<colgroup>
<col width="50%" />

</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr class="header">
<th align="left">Mitigation menu command</th>
<th align="left">Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td align="left"><p><strong>Apply Mitigations</strong></p></td>
<td align="left"><p>Opens the <strong>Mitigate AppCompat Issues</strong> dialog box, in which you can select the fixes that you intend to apply to the application.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td align="left"><p><strong>Undo Mitigations</strong></p></td>
<td align="left"><p>Removes the application fixes that you just applied.</p>
<p>This option is available only after you apply an application fix and before you close the SUA tool. Alternatively, you can manually remove application fixes by using <strong>Programs and Features</strong> in Control Panel.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="odd">
<td align="left"><p><strong>Export Mitigations as Windows Installer file</strong></p></td>
<td align="left"><p>Exports your application fixes as a Windows® Installer (.msi) file, which can then be deployed to other computers that are running the application.</p></td>
