Windows-itpro-docs: Software Restriction Policies (SRP) alternative for normal users

[beerisgood]

As SRP is no longer supported since 1803 i wonder what we normal users can use if it would removed someday - hopefully not.

As AppLocker or Windows Defender Application Control isn't a alternative for normal, non-company users, nor a option for home / pro users

@beerisgood. just now I seen the software restriction policy is available in 1909. Under security settings in GPO

[beerisgood]

@RAJU2529 sure. For now. And i'm use it without problems.

But as i say as you can read in my posted link, SRP is abandoned.
Of course it works but it wouldn't get any support/ updates anymore. I also wouldn't surprised if it got removed, even if i don't whish that!

[RAJU2529]

@beerisgood. Thanks for your reply. You seeking any another way to block the software with new blocker.
Last week I came to know Aaron blocker is used for alternative to app blocker

[beerisgood]

@RAJU2529 any info about that? Can't find something "Aaron blocker"

[RAJU2529]

@beerisgood. Sorry I mentioned the wrong name, actual name is "AaronLocker"

[beerisgood]

@RAJU2529
AaronLocker works on all supported versions of Windows that can provide AppLocker.

AppLocker is included with enterprise-level editions of Windows.

So sadly no solution for this issue here as it's for normal users, which doesn't have a enterprise Windows.

[RAJU2529]

@beerisgood. Currently, i am using Enterprise edition of windows 10 1909 64bit.

[beerisgood]

@RAJU2529 that's fine but no option for us normal end users which can't get a enterprise edition

[RAJU2529]

@beerisgood. I will look in College desktop computers running in windows Pro edition

Thank you for the feedback and discussion. It does not look like we have any documentation issues here, so I'm going to close this one out with kind regards.

[beerisgood]

@denisebmsft Please re-open. Issue is not fixed.

@RAJU2529 Any updates?

@beerisgood : When you say "Issue is not fixed.", which page do we need to update and correct to solve this documentation issue?

Please read my first post
This issue isn't about changing docs, it's just a question.

The current state is that Microsoft restrict Enduser (Home + Pro edition) security features like SRP (this issue) but only provide newer/ alternatives for higher editions, like Enterprise.

It's good and important that SRP is still present and i realy hope that don't change unless a real alternative is possible for home user.

So i was just looking here if any other methods exist, but doesn't looks like.
If you know any @illfated or you, @RAJU2529 please post.

But if no other solutions exist, i agree with close this issue.

Thanks for reading

Sadly a third-party solution and even not downloadable over HTTPS.
Thanks anyway

[RAJU2529]

@beerisgood . download in android mobile , then copy to pc , then, install

What? Why should i do that?
Also that doesn't change the fact that this program isn't available over HTTPS. Only the website is.
The download go over unencrypted HTTP site which is highly not recommend for security!

[RAJU2529]

@beerisgood .That software is developed by the team of cyber security of officers from the government of india.
If you having doubt , then dont download

@RAJU2529 : it is recommended to avoid referencing non-Microsoft sources, even on these issue ticket pages.
The only acceptable non-Microsoft material and links is direct partners of Microsoft.
Non-Microsoft material and discussions thereof belongs to forum pages, not these issue tickets.

[RAJU2529]

@illfated . Ok fine .I will take care of that
