Hello, it's been a while. Since I'm busy, I thought that there's no point to add any restrictions - I do trust my friends and family, it's just that blocking other programs were another layer of security against viruses and unwanted programs. If anyone else is looking for a solution, if you go...

Hi, sorry for being inactive for some time. I might have to be more inactive since I'm a bit busier than usual. When I checked, I did add all the necessary wildcards. I even made sure to add two rules: one with and without a wildcard. I'll send screenshots when possible. Sorry for the very late...

I tested it again by copying over Wordpad from its original source, this time with all of its other files (these files were some executable with the word "filter" in its name and a .mui file). I copied over to the D drive, and it worked. Without these files, it just shows the error message...

Oh, I forgot to mention, nothing appears in Event Viewer, even by manually checking it instead of using the custom view. I have created a different rule as a test to block all apps on the D drive (a Flash Drive I had) for all users, and then copied just the VLC media player exe (vlc.exe) to the...

Thank you, @ThioJoe. I tried this, and I followed the guide, but they haven't worked. I made sure everything was set up properly, enforced the rules, restarted the computer, but they still haven't worked. That video was useful though, thank you. I was already subscribed to your channel but I...

Yes, I do. I've been searching online on tutorials of how to use AppLocker (as suggested by @neemobeer and @garlin), but the results didn't help.

I now have Windows 11 Pro (thank you, @antspants). How would I use AppLocker to restrict programs? Like I said in my original post, the guest should be able to run programs from "C:\Program Files", but I don't want them running programs from, for example, "C:\Users\Guest\Downloads". Thank you...

Yes, it came with Windows 11 Home installed

Hi, thank you for the offer. You don't have to though. Also, how do you pm someone on here? I'm new to this site 😅

To be honest, I just don't have the money to buy a Windows Pro product key at the moment.

Hi, unfortunately, upgrading to the Pro version isn't currently an option for me, as if it was, I would have already done that. I did know that, but, isn't it the same as creating a different user, removing it from the "Users" localgroup and adding it into the "Guests" localgroup? If so, I've...

I have a Windows 11 Home Laptop, running version 23H2. I have created a second user account named "Guests" for my friends and family to use my laptop when they need to. However, I don't want them to accidentally change a setting or install something to my laptop. I already know that you can use...
