Application Control: block untrusted locations, custom rules and ringfencing
in progress

Broader application control in Blocker, in three parts:
- Block applications from running out of locations standard users can write to, such as Downloads, AppData and Temp, a common way untrusted software gets in.
- Custom Blocker rule criteria, so you can build rules beyond today's built-in options.
- Ringfencing: limiting what an allowed application can reach once it runs, such as other applications, files or the network.
Vote and comment with the part that matters most to you.

Thanks for the request, and sorry for the slow reply. The first part, blocking applications from user-writeable locations, is being worked on now. Custom rule criteria and ringfencing are still being scoped. We'll post here as this moves forward.
