[BUG] Applocker blocking starting up Notepad++ if Publisher is used #16971
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Description of the Issue
It looks bit related to #16752
Because of the certificate now being self-signed i have added the Root certificate to the Trusted Root certificates and Trusted Publishers.
But even with this we still get the app blocked by appblocker while the Test Applocker policy gives back allowed.
Am i missing something to make this work?
Steps To Reproduce
- Use applocker
- Install the certificate to the right places in local machine storage
- Add Notepad++ with Publisher to the Applocker policy to allow
- Open Notepad++
Current Behavior
Applocker says notepad++ is not allowed
Expected Behavior
Notepad++ should be able to start
