    Hi Omy90

    Open Windows Defender Security Center

    Go to Virus & threat protection - Virus & threat protection settings

    Scroll down to Controlled folder access

    Temporarily turn off Controlled Folder Access and check to see if you can install that application

    Please do not leave Controlled Folder Access turned off permanently
