A systems administrator needs to prevent users from running specific unauthorized applications on a company's Windows 10 Pro computers. Which of the following tools is the MOST appropriate for creating rules to block these applications?
The correct tool is the Local Security Policy editor (secpol.msc). It contains Application Control Policies, such as Software Restriction Policies, which allow an administrator to create rules to control which applications can run on a system. Windows Defender Firewall is used to manage network access for applications, not their local execution. Task Manager can be used to terminate running processes but cannot create persistent rules to prevent them from launching. System Configuration (msconfig.exe) is primarily used to manage startup programs and services, not to enforce application execution rules.
