Sometimes, this issue arises due to strict group policies or admin restrictions set to block unauthorized software installation or risky apps. This measure protects the system from malware, unverified apps, or accidental changes to critical configurations. Important Note: Before bypassing these blocks, ensure the app is safe and trusted.
1. Disable Windows SmartScreen
Windows SmartScreen prevents unsafe apps from running via UAC but can interfere with trusted apps. Disabling it can help bypass these blocks. Ensure the app is safe; otherwise, your PC could be vulnerable.
2. Disable and Re-enable UAC
If you’re sure the app is safe, you can temporarily disable UAC using the Registry Editor to stop the error. UAC prevents unauthorized changes by third-party or malicious software. Re-enable it after completing the task.
3. Run the App via Command Prompt with Admin Rights
You can avoid security blocks by running the app or installer as an admin. This allows the app or installer to access needed files and system settings.
4. Temporarily Disable Antivirus
If using third-party antivirus software like Avast, temporarily disable it. Sometimes, antivirus programs block trusted apps due to high resource usage or other reasons. Disabling antivirus temporarily can prevent interference with the app. If the problem persists, consider creating a new user account and transfer your data. System file issues related to your account settings might be causing this error. Creating a new account can resolve it.
