Application grouping by vendor/digital signature in Application Control is not always works.
-
<p>For some reason, KTS creates different application groups for the apps with identical vendor/digital signature data, e.g. for Microsoft Edge KTS created MICROSOFT group, while for Microsoft Edge Update — MICROSOFT CORPORATION, please find attached screenshots.</p>
<p>I thought that perhaps, both application just have different digital signature credentials, but not, according to Application control data, they are identical. Such behaviour leads to a mess in Manage application view.</p>

<p><strong>Expected Result:</strong></p>
<p><span></span>All Edge components should be assigned to the same application group.</p>

<p>This issue is an old-one issue and can be reproduced in 2020 as well (<strong>INC000011515424</strong>).</p> -
