Users may be prevented from using this application by your system administrator’s error message when starting a preinstalled application on Windows 10. This error occurs when a PC is connected to a domain network and the administrator has used AppLocker to implement a software installation policy restriction. The following section describes how you, as an administrator, can work around this error and allow a specific user or all users to run a program.
The main reason for this problem is an application control policy designed by your system administrator. Many system administrators do not allow users to install or run various applications during working hours. In most cases, administrators use AppLocker to prevent users from opening Microsoft Store applications on all computers. You may receive the specific error when you are subject to this restriction and try to open a Microsoft Store application.
Users might get This app has been blocked by your system administrator error message when starting a pre-installed app on Windows 10. This error occurs when a PC is connected to a domain network, and the administrator has used the AppLocker to deploy a restriction over the software installation policy. Here is how you, as an administrator, can bypass that error and allow a specific or all users to run a program.
The primary reason for this problem is an application control policy designed by the administrator of your system. Many system administrators do not allow users to install or run various applications during working hours. In most of the cases, administrators use AppLocker to prevent people from opening Microsoft Store apps on all the computers. You can get the specific error if you are under that restriction, and you are trying to open a Microsoft Store app.
However, many times you may need to allow a specific department to access all the apps due to some work purpose. In that case, you need to create a new rule to allow everyone or a particular user in your network to access apps made by Microsoft. Your system should have Remote Server Administration Tools. Also, you need to create the rule from either Windows 10/8-based or Windows Server 2012-based domain controller.
The Windows 10 operating system is aggressive in protecting users from suspicious or potentially malicious software. In general, this is beneficial, however, it can also prevent installation of software deemed by users to be safe. This situation produces an error message stating: /”An administrator has blocked you from running this app/” or /”This app has been blocked for your protection/”.
The Windows error (more like a notification) prevents users from downloading and/or installing applications. In earlier Windows versions, this error message was generated from installed anti-virus software only, but now Windows includes the built-in Windows Defender and UAC (User Account Control) software responsible for keeping users safe from potential threats. The /”An administrator has blocked you from running this app/” error means that the system is preventing you from running a suspicious installation (setup.exe) file that could infect the computer with malware or other viruses. If you are not sure if a setup file can be trusted, we recommend that you do not ignore this warning message.
Yes, it is a good thing that Windows 10 has security features like Defender SmartScreen built in, but sometimes they get in the way. You really want to install this app — you know there’s nothing wrong with it — but you’re locked out.
Windows Defender SmartScreen acts as a sort of guard dog while you use Windows 10. It will block you from opening some apps if they come from an unknown place or are created by an unknown publisher. While these steps will get you around the Windows 10 block, you should use them with care. Some apps really are harmful and really will get you in a mess. Only go around the Windows 10 app block if you know for sure that the file is safe.
The message could appear even when attempting to download or install legitimate software, such as hardware drivers. In this case, it can be frustrating and will limit your actions. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid this warning. Read the guide below and try out the solutions provided.
