Dear All,

I have created an online test web application in ASP.NET C#. Now, the requirement is to block/unblock some windows applications while doing an online test.

C# is a server-side code. So, how can I block/unblock client's machine windows applications during the online test?

What I have tried:

Could any please help me.

Thanks

If a website could stop apps from working then malicious ones would stop your anti-virus from working.

You could do it like explained here: How to Block Applications in Windows 10 - Make Tech Easier[^]
However to do this you would need access to the registry.

Another option would be to use Windows AppLocker application control policies, see: AppLocker (Windows 10) - Windows security | Microsoft Docs[^]
AppLocker is included in enterprise-level editions of Windows.

How can I achieve this from Web Application(ASP.NET C#)?

You can't, browsers don't allow these kind of operations, so you need to install an application on the client with admin rights that can modify the registry.
