The administrator has blocked execution of this application. Windows 10: How to fix the situation?

Users of the tenth version of Windows OS initially faced with the presence in the system of an account of the so-called Super Administrator, which controls virtually all processes. One of the symptoms is the unauthorized launch of a program from the system's point of view, when it is reported that the Administrator has blocked the execution of this Windows 10 application for protection purposes. Why is this happening and how to disable this annoying warning? Read on.

The administrator has blocked execution of this application (Windows 10). The goal is to protect the system. What does this mean?

In the event of such situations, it is necessary to clearly understand that the built-in account with a higher level of rights than the user, even if he himself is the administrator on his terminal, is only one of the components of the reason.

The warning that the Administrator has blocked execution of this application, Windows 10 issues only because the account control works in tandem with the so-called "Defender" (Windows Defender). It itself is capable of blocking the performance of unwanted or in terms of a system of potentially dangerous programs. For example, the message "Administrator blocked the execution of this application" Windows 10 when installing an outdated driver of some device, when the new one is not yet released, produces almost always. As a rule, many experts in this field reduce the essence of the problem to the blocking of the publisher, that is, it is impossible to execute applications with an invalid digital signature.

And even disabling UAC control in the standard way through the corresponding section of the Control Panel (setting the level slider to the lowest position) does not give a positive effect. No, of course, you can try, but hope is not enough. Nevertheless, the system has other means to get rid of this scourge.

The simplest way out of this situation

So, at the start of the application, the user received a window with a warning that the Administrator blocked execution of this application. Windows 10 tries to prevent this process from being executed. What should I do in the simplest case?

Elementary! You just need to find the executable file of the blocked program and right click to launch it on behalf of the admin, then agree with the offer of trust to the applet being run. However, this option may not work, and the message "The administrator has blocked the execution of this application" Windows 10 will issue again. But even here there is a solution.

Calling the program via the command line

In this case, it's about starting the command console on behalf of the admin through the menu "Run" (Win + R), which prescribes the combination of cmd, then find in the "Explorer" the desired application file, copy the full path together in the address bar With the file extension and paste it into the command console, enclosing in quotation marks. The program will be launched without any problems and the message that the Administrator has blocked the execution of this application, Windows 10 will no longer issue. But you will not use such a detour every time?

How to disable "Administrator has blocked execution of this application" (Windows 10)?

In order to exclude the appearance of such a situation in the future once and for all, you can refer to the section of local policies, which is called through administration in the "Control Panel".

Here you need to go to the security settings, expand the contents of the section and in the right window find the account control line with the indication that all the rest (even administrator "accounts") work using the approval mode of the primary administrator.

By default, this item is in the active state. By double-clicking the settings of the parameters, its status should be simply deactivated (disabled).

Management of system registry keys

Sometimes it may be necessary to dig a little in the system registry if the previous method for some reason turned out to be ineffective.

The editor is called from the "Run" menu with the regedit command. In the directory tree, you need to use the HKLM branch, in which, through the SOFTWARE directory, go down to the current version and find the Polices folder in which the System subkey is located. When you select it in the right window, you should find the EnableLUA parameter, double-click its settings and change the value from one to zero, and then you will be prompted to reboot the system. After restarting the message that the Administrator has blocked execution of this application, Windows 10 will not issue more.

Note: All those who are not an experienced user in editing registry keys before doing such things, it is recommended to make a copy of the registry (either manually through the function of exporting the file, or using the optimizer program). One of the options for securing the system - you can create a control point of recovery in the corresponding section of the parameters or in the "Control Panel".

Delete a digital signature

Finally, you can use a small but fairly effective utility called FileUnsigner, which after unpacking the downloaded archive from the Internet, it is desirable to place it on the "Desktop".

The application itself does not need to be started manually. It's enough just to drag the executable file of the blocked program and combine it with the FileUnsigner icon. After that, a message appears about the successful completion of the operation, and the required application will start without failures and warnings from the system.

A few words at a time

In principle, all described methods are good in their own way. True, probably, many have already noticed that in some cases you have to perform many unnecessary actions and use the proposed method again and again. Therefore, as a hint, you can suggest using a policy section or changing the appropriate registry key. Mostly this is done in order to avoid unnecessary procedures every time and to exclude the appearance of such warnings in the future.

Finally, the most important! You can use all the above methods, however, when running some applications, you should be firmly sure of their security, at least at least checking the new downloaded programs for the presence of embedded malicious code in them. In addition, in parallel with these techniques, you can still turn off the "Windows Defender" itself, but only on the condition that the system has a powerful antivirus package (preferably commercial type, and not all those free utilities that provide minimum protection, or even Do not cope with the tasks assigned to them, and at all). Only in this case it is guaranteed that at some point the system will not come to complete unfitness. But to reinstall Windows is a thankless task, since you will have to reinstall all previously installed programs, which is good - and drivers for non-standard equipment will also have to be reinstalled, and this is perceived by many as a hassle and a headache. So all these moments must be taken into account without fail.

And the very last thing. When using the system at home, it is not recommended to work under the built-in administrator account. At least, in such cases it can be disabled at all, so that not all kinds of warnings are issued or, worse, some standard or custom applications could not be started. However, for that matter, you can initially rebuild the system using specialized programs like Windows Manager, in which you can completely disable some of the critical functions of the system so that they do not interfere in the future, to put it mildly.

Again, how justified will be the use of such utilities, will have to find out, based on the capabilities of the programs themselves, and only then draw conclusions about the appropriateness of disabling certain functions or the use of some non-standard settings. But if you look more broadly, there is nothing wrong with this setting. Not for nothing that these applications enjoy incredible popularity among users around the world.

In general, such a sequence of actions is seen: first, turn off all unnecessary with the optimizer, and then use deactivation in policy settings or in the system registry. I think this will be the best way out of this situation. Well, as to which deactivation method will be applied, the user decides for himself what will be easier for him to do, change the policy settings or work with the registry, although, by and large, there is no particular difference in these methods, because they simply duplicate Each other, however, like many other system partitions that are directly related to the registry.
