According to this site, I should be able to apply local applocker polices on Home versions of Windows. I cannot get the Set-AppLockerPolicy command to run in powershell. I am running Windows 10 Home Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.4529). I have applied KB5024351 as the article above suggests, as well as KB5024351, which I understand is an updated version of this patch. But I still get the following error:

PS C:\test> Set-AppLockerPolicy -XMLPolicy applockerpolicy.xml
Set-AppLockerPolicy : The term 'Set-AppLockerPolicy' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

    Hi Lorne Martin，

    It seems the AppLocker module is corrupted. Please make sure the file C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\AppLocker\AppLocker.psd1 still exists. Run these commands in an elevated PowerShell window to see if the issue can be fixed.

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
sfc /scannow

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue
