1: On a Windows 8.1 computer, move an unrecognized application, which is run under restriction if run from C-drive, to a network folder.
2: Note that if run from the network folder it will be run without restriction.

Thank you for reporting this. I have a few questions.

First, how did the application get on the computer in the first place for both of these tests? CIS keeps track of this, thus it’s important to note it in your bug report. Also, make sure there was no difference in the way in which the application was moved around (meaning copied from location to location) for comparing the two tests. It’s possible that an app copied to the network drive and back to C-drive, and then tested may behave differently from an app tested on the C-drive, and then tested on the network drive. Thus, please let me know those details of the test.

Also, you state that you tested Windows 8.1 in VirtualBox. Did you test Windows 7 in VirtualBox as well?

Thanks.

I ran the application directly from the network file on Windows 8.1, but it is not run under the the restriction, applied to that I tested a file transfer application from the network to download file.
As you know, the transfer of any application is not defined, whatever the source file to download will actuation within the the restriction
I tested on Windows 7, and conditions were completely identical .In each of the two tests were run the application in the network file.

#4

Thank you. Was Windows 7 also run in VirtualBox?

#5

yes, :azn:

Okay, please attach a diagnostics report and I will forward this.

Thanks.

#10

Thank you. I have passed the information about Windows 8.1 x64 working correctly into the tracker. If you find that there is a problem with your copy of Windows 8.1 x32 please let me know and I will close this. However, until then I will keep this open.

Thanks.

The devs have tried to replicate this, but they have not been able to. I’m thinking that this may be related to something particular about your environment.

Please attach pics of any network settings which may be relevant to your next post. Also, the devs have requested a video showing this issue. Would it be possible for you to create one and also include in your next post?

Thanks.
