Requirements to use AppLocker

This article for the IT professional lists software requirements to use AppLocker on the supported Windows operating systems.

General requirements

To use AppLocker, you need:

  • A device running a supported operating system to create the rules. The computer can be a domain controller.
  • For Group Policy deployment, at least one device with the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) or Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) installed to host the AppLocker rules.
  • Devices running a supported operating system to enforce the AppLocker rules that you create.

Note

As of KB 5024351, Windows 10 versions 2004 and newer and all Windows 11 versions no longer require a specific edition of Windows to enforce AppLocker policies.
