Enforce AppLocker rules

This article for IT professionals describes how to enforce application control rules by using AppLocker.

After AppLocker rules are created within the rule collection, you can configure the enforcement setting to Enforce rules or Audit only on the rule collection.

When AppLocker policy enforcement is set to Enforce rules, rules are enforced and events are logged to the AppLocker logs. When AppLocker policy enforcement is set to Audit only, rules are only evaluated but events generated from that evaluation are written to the AppLocker logs.

To enforce AppLocker rules by configuring an AppLocker policy to Enforce rules, see Configure an AppLocker policy for enforce rules.
