A service that simplifies device provisioning and setup for end users, enabling zero-touch deployment
If Smart App Control is blocking your app, it may be due to the app not being digitally signed or because it is being flagged by the security policies set on your system. Uninstalling Windows Defender may not resolve the issue if Smart App Control is still active. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
- Check Event Logs: You can check the Code Integrity Event Logs to see which specific files are being blocked. Open the Event Viewer and navigate to Application and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > CodeIntegrity > Operational. Look for events with ID 3076 (evaluation mode) or 3077 (enforcement mode) to identify blocked files.
- Allowlist the App: If you determine that your app is being blocked incorrectly, you can add it to the allowlist of your security software. This may involve configuring settings in AVG to permit your app to run.
- Reinstall Windows Defender: If you find that the issue persists, consider reinstalling Windows Defender and configuring it to work alongside AVG, or disabling Smart App Control temporarily to see if that resolves the blocking issue.
- Digital Signing: Ensure that your app is properly digitally signed, as unsigned applications are more likely to be blocked by security features.
Following these steps should help you address the issue with Smart App Control blocking your application.
