Description
Updated the described process for removal of App Control policies that are not signed. Also made it clear that supplemental policies, signed or not, can be removed just like any other unsigned policy.
Why
Beginning Windows 11 version 24H2, reboot is no longer required to remove unsigned policies.
Changes
Removed the statement that reboot is always mandatory. Instead added a note stating that reboot is no longer required if using Windows 11 24H2 or 2024 update, however previous versions still require a reboot to finalize the removal process.
There was no mention of supplemental policies in the document related to App Control policy removal so added some info and made the distinction between removing signed base and signed supplemental policies and how supplemental policies can be removed like unsigned policies without requiring the re-signing process.
