- Fix This app has been blocked for your protection on Windows 10
You have just downloaded an app that you want to install on Windows 10. However, “This app has been blocked for your protection” prompt prevents you from doing so. Sometimes this Windows Defender pop-up can protect you from potential cyber threats, however, it can become annoying when you know there’s nothing wrong with your download.
Windows Defender SmartScreen displays this User Account Control prompt to inform you that it has blocked the program for your security. Typically, it blocks applications due to unknown publisher or ones from suspicious online sources. As you can see in screenshot below, it lists the publisher as not trusted, then displays file origin and program location.
This can happen if you are trying to download an unpopular or new application from a new developer, but the error might as well appear if you’re trying to install something dangerous. Besides, Microsoft tends to trigger this error to software that is discontinued and no longer supported by developers (due to security issues).
According to user reports, This app has been blocked for your protection error often bothers users trying to install Rivatuner, Streamlabs OBS, D-Link Application Manager or others. It is as common as This Application Was Unable to Start Correctly error.
Some users receive this error when trying to open Device Management. In such case, the error message shows Program location – C:WINDOWSsystem32mmc.exe, C:WINDOWSsystem32devmgmt.msc.
If you are also dealing with this error, follow the steps given below to fix This app has been blocked for your protection on Windows 10.
Note. Please bypass the warning ONLY if you are 100% that the application is secure. Otherwise, you can end up with a computer infection!
Fix This app has been blocked for your protection on Windows 10
Method 1. Open file blocked by Windows Defender by giving it an exception
You can create an exception for the file you are trying to open via file’s properties. Consequently, Windows 10 Security won’t identify it as unrecognized and dangerous. Here are the steps to fix the problem:
- Go to the location of the blocked file. It is typically displayed by the “This app has been blocked for your protection” pop-up.
- Right-click the blocked file and select Properties.
- In the General tab, look at an option in the bottom right corner that says Unblock. Put a tick on the checkbox, then click Apply and OK.
This method confirms that the file is safe and Windows Defender SmartScreen will no longer attempt to block it. You should be able to run or install it without problems now. In case it doesn’t, try running it as administrator – right-click it and choose Run as Administrator.
Method 2. Open the blocked file from Elevated Command Prompt
You can try this workaround for “This app has been blocked for your protection can’t install” problem. To clarify, this method force opens the app. Follow the steps given below:
- Open Command Prompt with Administrator’s privileges. In Windows search, type cmdand then right-click the matching result to select Run as Administrator.
- In the UAC window, click Yes.
- In Command Prompt (Admin) you need to paste the full path to the blocked file. If you do not know it, right-click the blocked file and select Properties. In General tab, you will see a Location field. You need to copy it, write a backslash and type full file name as shown in example below.
- Enter the full path into the Command prompt. The location should look something like this:
Example: C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteam.exe - Press Enter.
Now that you completed all the steps, the program should open and you should install it without problems. Do not forget to close the CMD!
