Applocker does not work

Question

Hi,

I have tried many things but i have simply not been able to get Applocker deny rule to work on my local Windows 7 Professional machine.

Policy type - Path rule

Action - Deny

Tried - %SYSTEM32%\notepad.exe , notepad++'s installation path, office, etc. Tried folder and file path rule. Simply not working.

1. Application identity service auto start? - CHECK
2. Appid.sys running? - CHECK
3. Enforcement mode ON? - CHECK
4. GPUPDATE /FORCE, restart and wait for ~10 minutes? - CHECK
5. OS supported? - CHECK
6. Remove built in administrator rule removal? - CHECK
7. Remove all default Allow rules? - CHECK
8. Policy shows up in the registry? - CHECK (HKLM\software...SRPV2\exe)

Please help me get this work as it is very important to test if we can do a larger deployment.

Sincerely.
