Windows 10: Applocker policy applied but not working

Hi,I created an applocker policy using default rules to test before applying to production. Enforcement is set to Enforce Rules. Application Identity service is also enabled from the policy.On windows 10 client GPRESULT shows the policy was applied and the Application Identity service is started however it is not blocking any application outside of the default rules.Any advise?

Applocker Policy breaks Start Menu

I am running Windows 10 Enterprise, build 10240. I am keeping my clients in a test OU. Everything has been working fine with it until I apply an Applocker policy. After the policy applies, the Start Menu and Cortana stop functioning. I am able to restore
functionality by deleting the .Applocker files from %windir%\system32\Applocker and restarting. That fixes it until the policy reapplies and the .Applocker files are recreated.

Anyone have any guidance for a permanent solution on this issue?

 

Search in Taskbar is not working with Applocker policy

Hi Everyone,

I have enabled AppLocker polices to disable Win10 UI apps e.g. Xbox, Groove Music, Solitare etc. Search in taskbar seems disabled with AppLocker policy. I am not able to search in Start menu for any app.

Thanks,

NG

 

Start menu/ms-settings not working Windows 10

Yes I can see that, but I'm running Windows 10 Home edition.

To terminate AppLocker rule enforcement

• 
  Backup the Group Policy Object (GPO) that contains the currently applied AppLocker rules.
  
• 
  Delete all the AppLocker rules on that GPO. For steps how to do this, see the topics in
  
  AppLocker Policy Procedures.
  
• 
  Push out the GPO that now contains the empty AppLocker policy to the affected client computers. For steps how to do this, see
  
  Refresh an AppLocker Policy.
  
• 
  Disable the AppLocker service (appidsvc) on all the affected client computers. Optionally, you can restart the service. For steps how to do this, see
  
  Configure the Application Identity Service. Alternatively, you can disable the AppLocker service using Group Policy instead of locally.
  
• 
  Optionally, if you want to update the computers with another set of AppLocker rules (and the service has been enabled), you force a Group Policy update for the revised AppLocker policy. For steps how to do this, see
  
  Refresh an AppLocker Policy.
  

There is no Group policy object editor available here. Also
AppIDSvc is stopped and can't be manually started. Error: "The operation could not be completed. The dependency service or group failed to start" due to fact, that AppLocker is not available in Home and Pro edition.

So why is it blocking the reinstallation, I don't know?
