Windows 11 blocks USB hardware access when launching apps from network share (UNC path)
Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a Windows 11 security behavior that's causing issues with USB device access when launching an application from a network share (UNC path, e.g., \\Server\Builds\App.exe)...
Sign your app with a trusted certificate and configure AppLocker to trust the app path. Use Group Policy to relax restrictions for your specific environment. Where possible, deploy a local copy during testing, then move to UNC once security settings are configured.
