Note: * Starting with the release of the 8.6.2 App Control Windows agent, Microsoft no longer provides SHA-1 code signing for App Control releases. Moving forward, Microsoft will only provide SHA-2 code signing for App Control releases. For customers on Windows Server 2008 SP2, Windows 7 SP1, and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Microsoft provided an
update providing SHA-2 support. This means customers on Windows Vista, Server 2008 SP0/SP1, Win7 SP0, and Server 2008R2 SP0 will no longer be able to install App Control following the 8.6.0 release as no such updates exist for them. We recommend customers apply the proper updates to their operating system.
Limitations and Requirements:
- App Control does not support Windows 11 Bypass IO or CIMFS.
- App Control does not support Shared Clustered Volumes.
Important: The operating systems listed in the following table are no longer considered supported because there are no supported agents validated to work with them.
