Description: For a while, I've wondered why the Distant Horizons mod didn't work on either my curseforge or my modrinth installations, I speculated that perhaps Applocker was the problem (For those wondering what AppLocker is, just search it up on Google and go to Microsoft Learn to see what it is, but a short summary I guess would be that it basically acts as a whitelist that allows only programs on it to run). So I temporarily disabled it and lo and behold, it actually worked. But I don't want to disable AppLocker every time when playing Minecraft because that's a security risk that I do not want to take. It was a lifesaver for me when I got a virus on my computer a few months ago as it prevented it from completely executing itself and I don't want to disable it. So I need help on what things AppLocker could be blocking, like certain files or paths Distant Horizons needs, so I can make Allow rules to allow those files or paths to run. Please analyze the logs and find out what AppLocker could be blocking.
