ASR Rule blocks Outlook Add-In

Hello there

We've deployed ASR Rules via Sec. Basline for our customer. We've also installed an Outlook Plug-in (officeatwork) for managing Signatures in Outlook. On one device the ASR-Rule blocks the Outlook Add-In via "msedgewebview2.exe".

On the other device in the same tenant, same configuration everything is fine, no blocks.

How does it come? Any ideas?

Best regards

    You can try to track ASR audit report in M365, which ASR rule causes that block and then remove that single ASR rule.

    I would deploy ASR rules via an Endpoint security Attack Surface Reduction Rules Policy. This allows you to put every rule on audit to begin with and monitor them to detect valid behaviors that shouldn't be blocked by the policy. Once you detect them, you can add per rule exclusions to each ASR rule. See screenshots below for instuctions.
