To fix an application by using the SUA tool
Use the SUA tool to test an application. For more information, see Using the SUA Tool.
After you finish testing, open the SUA tool.
On the Mitigation menu, click the command that corresponds to the action that you want to take. The following table describes the commands.
Mitigation menu command Description Apply Mitigations Opens the Mitigate AppCompat Issues dialog box, in which you can select the fixes that you intend to apply to the application. Undo Mitigations Removes the application fixes that you just applied. This option is available only after you apply an application fix and before you close the SUA tool. Alternatively, you can manually remove application fixes by using Programs and Features in Control Panel.
