Allows you to enable or disable Packaged app rules.
Packaged apps (also known as Windows Store apps) are based on a model that ensures all the files within an app package share the same identity. With classic Win32 applications, each file within the application could have a unique identity. With Packaged apps, it is possible to control the entire application by using a single AppLocker rule.
Vulnerability:
