What's New
-
AppControl Manager can now work without administrator privileges. The following 9 pages
are now available without admin rights:- Policy Editor
- Merge App Control Policies (excluding the deployment feature)
- Get Code Integrity Hashes
- Validate Policies
- Configure Policy Rule Options (excluding the deployment feature)
- Settings Page (excluding the User Configurations section)
- Logs Page
- Microsoft Documentations Page
- GitHub Documentations Page
Tip
When you select any other pages that require admin privileges, the app will offer you an option to relaunch it as Admin. You can still directly launch the app with Admin privileges whenever necessary, but it is no longer a requirement.
When running with Standard user privileges, the app writes the log files to this location instead:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\AppControlManagerLogs
-
Added lots of performance improvements and optimized various parts of the AppControl Manager for faster execution and scalability.
-
Added Privacy Policy page to the Settings page -> About section.
