Hi,

I am looking to setup Applocker for several users but am stuck with a dilemna.

I am looking to configure users to be able to use "locker", a software that allows web developers to install WordPress locally. However, during website setup, there are several prompts that require UAC approval.

How can I allow those specific installations to go through without requiring admin approval? Also, I want to allow Skype to run (not hard) but also give users the ability to update Skype as well. Is that possible?

Any help is appreciated.

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out.
    I can understand you are having some issues \ queries related to AppLocker in Windows 10.

    Please note that App Locker works on .exe or executable file's Hash or Signature , Whenever you Install WordPress you will be getting UAC prompt as during Installation its will extract installation files and try to put them and register on different locations of Windows .

    Hence In your case Please check publishing rules and provide path of your WordPress installation directory when it will be going to install.
