    I recently format my system and had to setup Applocker again. I created default rules, set service to automatic etc, and it was working. But when I create custom rule, it's not working ... For example, if i create rule to deny access to notepad.exe, i can still open notepad. I also tried to allow .exe files which are outside programfiles and it didn't work. Basically only ''default'' rules are working.

    You need to reboot and make sure the app id service is running.

    If what user katio mentioned doesn't work, then rather than creating a deny rule for what you want, try to make an exclusion rule instead. It would be how I'd do it.

    In addition to what the above 2 has mentioned, you may want to look into "Configure Rule Enforcement" and make sure that rules are enforced for the respective rule collection.

    Remember the default rules are just to get you started so you don't cripple things, but you don't want to be combining them with your customized rules or you'll have possible conflicts.

    The logs under Event viewer can help you narrow down the problem...

    When the unexpected happens, check them (they are time & date stamped) to see which rule influenced the events.

    AppID service is set to automatic and running, rules are configured ''enforced'' ... I tried to make exclusion rule and rebooted pc afterwards, doesn't work...

    I checked eventlogs, there are bunch of ''information'' logs and most of them are saying that file was allowed to run(usually some DLL from windows folder)... and just one error, saying ''%OSDRIVE%\USERS\V\APPDATA\LOCAL\APPS\F.LUX\FLUX.EXE was prevented from running.'' And I have rule set to allow Flux.exe to run :) ...

    Anyways, thanks everyone for trying to help.
