Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You deploy an AppLocker policy together with a default rule on a Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1-based computer.
-
The administrative users or other high privileged group’s users can run executable files that are in a whitelist that is defined in AppLocker policy without receiving a User Account Control (UAC) prompt on the computer.
-
You create a user named "AdminUser" as a member of the Administrators group or other high privileged group.
-
You use "AdminUser" to run an executable file that is in the whitelist.
In this scenario, you still have to use the Run as Administrator option to run the file. Otherwise, the operation fails, and you receive the following error message:
Your system administrator has blocked this program.
Note For more information about high privileged groups, go to the References section.
Cause
This issue occurs because the Administrators security identifier in the user's access token is disabled by UAC.

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file information notes
Important Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.-
The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:
Version
Product
Milestone
Service branch
6.1.760
1.22xxxWindows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
SP1
LDR
-
GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.
-
The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are critical to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
