AppControl Manager

AppControl Manager is a modern secure app that provides easy to use graphical user interface to mange App Control on your device.

The goal is for AppControl manager to reach feature parity with the WDACConfig Powershell module as fast as possible and then to surpass it with additional features and improvements.


How To Install or Update The App

Use the following PowerShell command as Admin, it will automatically download the latest MSIX file from this repository's release page and install it for you.

Tip

The same command can be used to update the app whenever there is a new version available. In the future the updating functionality will be incorporated inside of the app.
