What is AppLocker?
AppLocker is a powerful allow‑list security system that blocks everything except what you explicitly trust.
Once the rules are created, they protect your system against future threats — even against malware that doesn’t exist yet.
Rules only change when your system changes, such as installing or removing software.
Its strength lies in its simplicity: when only trusted applications can run, new malware has no path to execute.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does AppLocker Commander install additional components?
No. AppLocker Commander installs nothing. All functions rely entirely on AppLocker, which is already built directly into Windows.
Which Windows versions support AppLocker?
AppLocker works exclusively on Windows Pro, Enterprise, Education, and Server editions.
Can I use Windows Home?
Windows Home can be unlocked using a valid Home-to-Pro upgrade key, after which it fully supports AppLocker.
Can I use AppLocker without the Commander?
Yes, but only manually via Group Policies and XML rules. The Commander makes these complex functions visible and easy to operate.
Are domain Group Policies (GPOs) supported?
Not directly yet—support is currently planned. However, rules can be created locally and then easily imported into a domain GPO, allowing you to use AppLocker in corporate domains right now.
Why are administrators not given exceptions?
Because administrators hold the most critical accounts, meaning any relaxation of rules would create a high security risk.
