# Using Compatibility Monitor to Send Feedback
|
||
|
||
|
||
**Applies to**
|
||
|
||
- Windows 10
|
||
- Windows 8.1
|
||
- Windows 8
|
||
- Windows 7
|
||
- Windows Server 2012

|
||
|
||
The Microsoft Compatibility Monitor tool is installed as part of the runtime-analysis package. From the computers in your test environment, you can use Compatibility Monitor to submit compatibility information to the Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) database for your organization.
|
||
|
||
**To automatically monitor applications on your computer for compatibility issues**
|
||
|
||
1. Start the Compatibility Monitor tool.
|
||
|
||
2. In Compatibility Monitor, click **Start Monitoring**.
|
||
|
||
3. Leave Compatibility Monitor running, and use the applications that you want to test for compatibility issues.
|
||
|
||
Compatibility information is automatically detected during monitoring, and is silently submitted to the ACT database at regular intervals.
|
||
|
||
4. After you finish testing applications, click **Stop Monitoring** to stop the automatic monitoring and submission of compatibility information.
|
||
|
||
**To submit your compatibility rating for an application**
|
||
|
||
1. Start the Compatibility Monitor tool.
|
||
|
||
2. In Compatibility Monitor, click **Give Compatibility Feedback**.
|
||
|
||
You can enter and submit compatibility ratings whether monitoring is on or off. The process of submitting your compatibility feedback is entirely independent of the monitoring process.
|
||
|
||
3. Find your application in the list, and then select your compatibility rating for the application.
|
||
|
||
You can select ratings for one or more applications.
|
||
|
||
4. Click **Submit** to submit your compatibility ratings to the ACT database.
|
||
|
||
A copy of your ratings is kept on your computer so that you can review and modify the ratings later.
|
||
|
||
**To submit a description of a compatibility issue for an application**
|
||
|
||
1. Start the Compatibility Monitor tool.
|
||
|
||
2. In Compatibility Monitor, click **Give Compatibility Feedback**.
|
||
|
||
3. Find your application in the list, and then click the **Add Details** link.
|
||
|
||
4. In the **Title** box, enter a title for the compatibility issue. The title is typically a phrase that briefly describes the issue. Check with others in your organization to verify your organization’s preferred style for issue titles.
|
||
|
||
5. In the **Description** box, enter a description of the compatibility issue.
|
||
|
||
6. Optionally, attach a screen shot or a step-by-step recording of the compatibility issue.
|
||
|
||
7. Click **Submit** to submit your compatibility issue to the ACT database.
|
||
|
||
After submitting your compatibility issue, you cannot edit it later. To submit further compatibility issues, you will need to submit a new issue.
