Windows 10 UAC has been blocked my application and every time showing "This app has been blocked for your protection" error message.

I have searched online for help but none of theme helped me to fix this issue. I have applied properly even I have restarted my PC couple of times after each individual actions.

I have removed cache, refreshed registry settings also before that uninstalled the app to reinstall again using Administrator account. Unfortunately nothing worked yet.

Some of links those I have followed to solve the issue-

Try this :

Step 1: Launch Start Menu, search and select Command Prompt. Then right-click on it and choose Run as Administrator from the context menu.

Step 2: Type the following command without quotes at the Command Prompt and then hit Enter:

net user administrator /active:yes

You should see the message saying "command completed successfully".

Step 3: Launch Start Menu once again and right-click on user-account title at the top-left of the screen. Then click Sign-out.

Step 4: At the login screen, log into the Administrator account and you will return to the Desktop of that user profile.

Step 5: Locate and run the .exe file for the program which you want to install.

Step 6: As you have already logged into the Administrator account, the Smartscreen protection will be disabled and the installation should complete successfully.

Step 7: After you have completed the installation, just log back into your regular account after logging out of the Admin account.

Step 8: Finally, disable the Administrator account that was used earlier to prevent malicious access to your system files from external sources like hackers and cyber-criminals.

Just execute the following command (without quotes) to accomplish this feat from Command Prompt: "net user administrator /active:no".

Hope that helps !!

    This is exactly the same solution as in the second link in the question (which the OP said didn't work).

  • I already tried this approach but did not work. I could not add more than 2 links also upload screenshot due to insufficient number of reputation.
