    Apply Mitigations

    Opens the Mitigate AppCompat Issues dialog box, in which you can select the fixes that you intend to apply to the application.

    Undo Mitigations

    Removes the application fixes that you just applied.

    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 Programs and Features in Control Panel.
