this app has been blocked by your system administrator - Windows 11 Pro

Question

Just this week my PC has started blocking an app which I've been using recently quite regularly without issue.

I've followed all suggestions on various forums etc and still can not attain access to the App/Program.

Answer 1

I have had same problem with my office computers - Windows 10 & 11's The problem is with an older scheduling program that works great - networked on all the computers. Unfortunately, the company that was Microsoft approved is no longer in business, but we want to keep using it. We started getting this "administrator block" message. Tried all the usual "run as an administrator" suggestions but nothing worked. Finally came up with the answer.

1.   Type  "CMD"   at start box -   for the command mode.  Do NOT hit enter.   Choose "run as an administrator"  on the right side.   A new command window will open.

2.   Using standard commands, locate the file folder holding the blocked app.   If you have difficulty finding the location,   the initial "blocked by administrator" message shows the path to the blocked app.

3.   When finding the correct file location,  choose that folder & hit enter

4.   Type very carefully the exact name of the executable file.   Then hit enter.    It should load now in separate window.

Hi there! I hope you are well.

My name is, Zadee. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. Sorry to hear about your experience. I'll try my best to help you today.

Is this specifically blocking only that app?

What is the name of the app?

Have you tried lowering the UAC to the lowest level temporarily?
